Saddle

Saddles are items only found in the chests that are inside dungeons; they cannot be crafted. They can be placed on pigs, which allows the player to ride them by right clicking the saddle, but the pig's movements cannot be controlled by the player. Saddles cannot be placed on any other mob. The player can climb off and on the pig as they please. The saddle cannot be recovered from the pig and will be lost if the pig disappears from the map or is killed.

Trivia

 * By throwing eggs or snowballs at the pig while riding it, it is possible to ride a pig high into the air. However, this is tricky to pull off because when you right click on the pig to throw something, you go off the pig.
 * A player riding a falling pig takes no damage, even if the pig dies from the drop.
 * If you are riding a pig and you go over ice, you go much faster.
 * If the pig you are riding enters an area with an overhang, it's possible for the pig's jumping to phase you into the overhead blocks, damaging you through suffocation.
 * If you manage to get a saddled pig into a minecart and ride it, you will create a fast moving, self-propelling minecart
 * A bug when you ride pigs is that your pants (Armor) will be invisible. When you crouch, you see both the Pants, and your legs. The pants down, the legs sitting.
 * There is a mod, Mo' Creatures, where there is a recipe that makes saddles, and control horses.
