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. They cannot be placed on hostile mobs. When riding:
 * The pig will take fall damage instead of the player.
 * If the pig jumps when under an object while being ridden, the player will take collision damage.

If the pig dies, the saddle is lost. It is not known whether Saddles can be crafted or not.
