Strider

Striders are passive mobs that spawn in the Nether. They can be used to ride on lava.

Spawning
Striders spawn in the Nether on lava. They have a baby variant that sometimes spawns on the head of an adult. Sometimes zombified piglins spawn on striders, and if that is the case they will spawn saddled.

Drops
Striders drop 0-2 upon death. If a player equips them with a saddle, they will also drop it upon death. If they spawned wearing a saddle, the saddle has an 8.5% chance to drop, increased by 1% per level of Looting.

Behavior


Unlike most mobs, striders can walk on lava. The player can ride on a strider using a saddle, and can attach them to leads. Similar to how pigs are controlled using a carrot on a stick, striders are controlled using a warped fungus on a stick. They will also follow players holding a warped fungus or a warped fungus on a stick.

Striders are damaged by water and rain.

Striders start shaking unless they are in lava, but it doesn't cause them to take damage.

Breeding
If striders are given warped fungus, they enter love mode and pair off to create baby striders, granting the player 1-7 experience orbs. The parent striders have a cooldown of 5 minutes before they can breed again. All babies obtained by breeding take 20 minutes to grow up. The growth of baby striders can be slowly accelerated using warped fungus; each use takes 10% off of the remaining time to grow up.

Trivia

 * On Minecraft Feedback there was a pool for adding Nether Boats, but it was not added. However Strider was added.
