How to obtain

The modern recipe uses three leather and one iron ingot. Saddles still appear in loot and trading, but progression no longer depends entirely on random chests.

Primary use

A saddle equips horses, pigs, striders, and other rideable mobs under their own control rules. The required steering item depends on the mount.

Important mechanics

Modern versions allow a saddle to be removed with shears when the mob is not being ridden and supports removal. Saddles have no durability value.

Practical tips

Craft a saddle before searching for a horse and bring a lead for safe transport. For lava travel, prepare a warped fungus on a stick in advance.
