- For the Depth Strider enchantment, see Enchantments#Depth Strider (Boots Only).
The strider is a rideable passive Nether mob that was implemented in 1.16 - Nether Update snapshot 20w13a.
Spawning
In the Nether, 2-4 striders spawn on the surface of a lava block with two air blocks above. Every 15 secs (400 ticks), an attempt is made to spawn strider. In each spawned strider there is 1/10 chance that they spawn with a baby on top, while it is 1/30 for a Zombified Piglin. If this happens, the strider spawns with a saddle while the Piglin spawns with a Warped Fungus on a Stick. The Piglin will never despawn, but not from Peaceful difficulty.
Behavior
The strider is a passive, rideable mob that can survive and walk on lava. They can only be controlled by a warped fungus on a stick, similar to how pigs can be controlled with a carrot on a stick. Striders can also be bred with warped fungus.
Striders roam faster when striding on lava than walking on land. They can also be ridden by two mobs: the Zombified Piglins, and the Striders' offspring.
They will take damage when it is raining or when touching the water.
Drops
Adult Striders drop 0-5 strings upon death, with the maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, result in a total of 0-8 strings with Looting III.[Java Edition only]
Adult Striders drop 2-5 strings upon death, un affected by Looting.[Bedrock Edition only]
If the adult strider is killed by a player or tamed wolf, 1-2[Java Edition only]/1-3[Bedrock Edition only] exp is dropped.
Striders that spawn with a saddle have an 8.5% chance of dropping it upon death with an addditional 1% chance per level of Looting. Saddles provided by the player always drop on death.
