How to Ride Striders

Use a Saddle on a Strider

Riding a Strider

With Striders, players can walk on lava blocks!

Use a Saddle on the Strider to be able to ride it. If you want to control the direction in which the Strider will move, be sure to equip a Warped Fungus on a Stick.

How to Breed Striders

Feed Two Striders Warped Fungi

Strider Breeding

Feeding two Striders Warped Fungi will cause them to go into Love Mode and breed. Afterwards, the pregnant Strider will spawn a baby Strider, which can grow faster into an adult when fed more Warped Fungi.

Strider Locations and Spawning Mechanics

Nether Spawn

Nether

Striders can only be found walking on lava in the Nether. Some Strider spawns are found ridden by baby Striders or Zombified Piglins.

Strider Behavior

Walks on Lava

Strider Walking on Lava

Striders have the ability to walk on lava. Being a passive mob, Striders will not mind the player and will wander around the Nether freely.

Looks Dried Up When Not in Lava

Dried Up Strider

When not on lava, Striders tend to walk much slower and are all dried up in appearance.

However, they will return to their original appearance the moment they are on lava once again.

Follows Players Holding Warped Fungus

Strider Following

While holding a Warped Fungus or a Warped Fungus on a Stick, Striders will follow players around wherever they go so long as they can reach the player.

Serves as a Good Lure

Given that players take damage on lava blocks, using Warped Fungi serves as a good lure for Striders to get them to blocks safe for the player.
