What is Saddle in Minecraft?
A saddle is a very special and important item in Minecraft that allows you to ride different animals. What makes it so special is that you cannot craft it. This means you have to go on an adventure to find one. Once you have a saddle, you can place it on a horse, donkey, mule, pig, or even a strider to control them and travel around your world much faster. It is the key to unlocking long distance travel and exploring your world with a trusty steed. Finding your first saddle is a huge milestone in any Minecraft adventure and opens up a whole new way to play the game.
How to get Saddle in Minecraft
Since you cannot craft a saddle, you have to find one out in the world. There are many places to look. The most common way is by searching in chests. You can find a saddle in chests inside dungeons, Nether fortresses, desert temples, End cities, bastion remnants, jungle temples, strongholds, and village chests, especially in weaponsmith and tannery houses. Another great way to get a saddle is by fishing. If you use a fishing rod, there is a small chance you will catch one as a treasure item. Using a rod with the Luck of the Sea enchantment will increase this chance. You can also get a saddle by defeating a ravager, which is the big beast that appears in pillager raids. Finally, if you have a lot of emeralds, you can buy a saddle from a master level leatherworker villager.
How to use Saddle in Minecraft
Using a saddle is easy. First, you need an animal to ride. For horses, donkeys, and mules, you must tame them first by repeatedly trying to ride them until they show hearts. Once tamed, you can open their inventory and place the saddle in the saddle slot. For a pig or a strider, you just need to right click on them with the saddle in your hand. To control a horse, donkey, or mule, you just ride them like normal. To control a pig, you need a carrot on a stick. To control a strider in the Nether, you need a warped fungus on a stick. A saddle is a reusable item that you can take off a horse, donkey, or mule, but it cannot be removed from a pig or strider.
