Saddle

Saddles are items found in map-generated underground chests. They can be placed on pigs to ride them, though the pig is not controllable. Sheep cannot be ridden and if hostile mobs can be ridden is unknown at this time. It appears that when riding a mob the player does not take fall damage, and if the mob is killed the player remains unharmed. A crafting template for saddles has not yet been found; as a result, it is rumoured that they are not a craftable item.
