Warped Fungus on a Stick

A warped fungus on a stick is an item that can be used to control saddled striders.

Mobs
Zombified Piglins that spawned as a strider jockey hold a warped fungus on a stick instead of a gold sword, and have a chance of dropping it.

Usage
Similar to how a carrot on a stick is used to control pigs, the players can use a warped fungus on a stick to control a strider. To do this, the player simply holds the item in one hand and any nearby striders within view is attracted toward the player. If mounted on a saddled strider, the strider moves in the direction the player is facing while holding the warped fungus on a stick. Right clicking with the item makes the strider go faster, but reduces the item's durability by 1 for every speed boost. If the item durability reaches 0, it turns into a fishing rod.

Due to a strider's ability to walk on lava, this is a beneficial tool for using striders as a safe transport across the Nether's terrain, which is otherwise considered difficult to traverse.

Enchantments
A warped fungus on a stick can receive the following enchantments, but only through an anvil:


 * Unbreaking
 * Mending
 * Curse of Vanishing
