Last updated
Ever wondered how to saddle up and ride a Strider in Minecraft? We’ve got you covered! Riding a Strider is not just fun but also a fantastic way to travel across lava lakes in the Nether.
In Minecraft, Striders are unique creatures that can walk on lava, making them perfect for traversing the Nether’s dangerous terrains. So, how exactly do you ride one of these fiery friends? Let’s dive into the steps.
Quick Steps to Ride a Strider
To ride a Strider in Minecraft, you’ll first need to find one. Striders roam around the Nether, especially near lava lakes. Once you’ve spotted a Strider, the adventure begins! Here’s what you’ll need:
- A saddle
- A warped fungus on a stick
First, approach a Strider and place the saddle on it by right-clicking or pressing the use button. With the saddle in place, you can mount the Strider. But to control where it goes, you’ll need the warped fungus on a stick. Hold it in your hand, and the Strider will follow wherever you point!
Remember, Striders are the only rideable mob in Minecraft that can walk on lava, making them incredibly useful for exploring the Nether. Just keep an eye on your warped fungus on a stick, as it has durability and can break after extended use.
