Strider

Mobs

Strider — mob.

Obtaining

Striders spawn in lava in the Nether Wastes, Soul Sand Valley, Warped Forest, Crimson Forest, and Basalt Deltas. A saddle turns one into a rideable route across a lava lake, while warped fungus is the food and lure that keeps the animal moving toward the player.

Data: Obtaining
Spawn groupCreature
Group size1–2
Spawn weight60
Travel mediumLava

Drops

The entity loot table yields 2–5 string, with looting able to increase the count. A saddle is equipment rather than a guaranteed entity drop, so keep the saddle attached when a ridden route is still needed.

Data: Drops
Common dropString
Quantity2–5
LootingIncreases the string roll

Behavior

A strider walks across lava and changes its posture and movement state when it leaves the hot surface. A saddle allows riding; a warped fungus on a stick gives the rider directional control. The entity is tagged for saddle equipment, dismounts under water, and is vulnerable to extra freezing damage, so water and cold terrain are poor travel routes.
