'''Striders''' are [[passive mob]]s native to [[the Nether]]. They can walk/stride on [[lava]] and be [[saddle]]d by the player. A [[warped fungus on a stick]] is needed to control a strider, similar to how a [[pig]] is controlled by a [[carrot on a stick]].

== Spawning ==
Striders can spawn in every [[The Nether|Nether]] biome. Two to four striders spawn on spaces of [[lava]] that have an [[air]] block above. {{IN|Java}} striders are the only [[passive mob]] in the Nether, so spawning attempts are made every 400 [[game tick]]s. {{IN|Bedrock}} striders share the animal population cap with [[hoglin]]s and their spawn rate depends on biome, being impacted by the ability of other mobs to spawn at a given coordinate.

For every strider that spawns, there is a 1 in 10 chance of an additional [[baby]] strider to spawn riding on top of the previous strider. This behavior is limited to one strider.<ref>{{bug|MC-176028||Striders can spawn in stacks of three or more|Fixed}}</ref> A baby strider on the adult strider continues to grow although it does not dismount the adult strider once it has grown up. 

[[Zombified piglin]]s have a 1 in 30 chance of spawning on top of a strider. If this happens, the strider spawns with a [[saddle]] and the zombified piglin spawns carrying a [[warped fungus on a stick]]. The zombified piglin does not despawn naturally, and does not count towards the mob cap. On [[Peaceful]] difficulty, the zombified piglin despawns immediately, leaving a saddled strider.<ref>{{bug|MC-232869||Adult striders can spawn with saddles in peaceful mode}}</ref>

If a strider spawns under [[lava]], it rises out of the [[lava]]. {{In|Bedrock}}, baby striders spawn more commonly than adult striders do, including when spawned by a spawn egg.

</gallery>

== Drops ==
Adult striders drop 2&ndash;5 {{ItemLink|string}} upon [[death]]. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 with Looting III.{{only|java|short=1}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-112761}}</ref>

Striders wearing a saddle always drop the saddle upon death, regardless of if they spawn wearing it or if a player puts it on them. The only way to remove a saddle from a strider is to kill the strider. When an adult strider is killed by a player or tamed [[wolf]], {{xp|1|2}}{{only|Java|short=1}} / {{xp|1|3}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}} experience is dropped.

== Behavior ==
[[Lava]] does not damage striders. Unlike most [[mob]]s, striders can walk on top of [[lava]] without sinking. Upon being harmed by another mob, striders attempt to flee for a few seconds while making "retreat" noises. Striders are damaged by [[water]], [[rain]], and [[splash water bottle]]s, which deal damage by {{Hp|1}} per splash water bottle or half-second in water or rain, which can kill them. While in water, they slowly sink while taking damage. Striders still take damage from rain even if they are in lava. However, they are not harmed when standing in a filled [[cauldron]]. They also cannot be harmed by [[snowfall]] or [[snowball]]s. They take extra damage from freezing in [[powder snow]].

Unlike [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s, striders can exist safely in the [[Overworld]], as long as they are kept away from water and rain. Unlike some other mobs, striders do not zombify when leaving the Nether. Striders outside of lava change to a dull purple color, change their expression to more of a frown, shiver, and their legs become slightly shorter. They also move slower when outside of lava.<ref>This behavior is controlled by the <code>[[Tags#blocks strider warm blocks|#strider_warm_blocks]]</code> block tag.</ref> 

If a strider has the {{EffectLink|Speed}} effect applied to it, the strider moves faster on both land and lava (though its land speed is still considerably slower). If a zombified piglin is riding a strider, the strider pursues the player if the zombified piglin is angered.

Due to a bug,<ref name=StriderLavaBug>{{bug|MC-197177}}</ref> striders that fall from a height take fall damage when landing in lava. A baby strider on an adult strider still grows into an adult. Apart from this, adult striders riding other adult striders do not spawn naturally. Baby striders not riding on an adult follow the closest adult strider.

=== Riding ===
{{Main|Riding}}
[[File:Strider riding.gif|thumb|right|A player riding a strider (click to see animation).]]
The player can ride on an adult strider using a [[saddle]]. 

Similar to how [[pig]]s are controlled using a [[carrot on a stick]], striders move forward automatically while their direction is influenced using a [[warped fungus on a stick]], at a speed of 4.14&nbsp;m/s if on a flat lava surface (such as the Nether [[lava sea]]) or 1.74&nbsp;m/s if on land. They walk especially slowly against the lava flow direction.

Warped fungus on a stick can be {{ctrl|used}}, causing the strider to boost and walk at a greater speed{{more info|speed in m/s?}} and taking 1 point of durability from the warped fungus on a stick. They also follow players holding a [[warped fungus]] or a warped fungus on a stick. 

Unlike underwater boat, players riding striders into lava (for example, getiing into flowing-only from heights or horizons, static lava from horizons) do not dismount if the strider submerges into the lava, and striders quickly rise back up to the surface if this happens. However, players risk getting burned by the lava while submerged. However, {{in|java}}, players cannot start riding a strider that is fully submeged within the lava.

A strider ridden into flowing lava slowly rises to the top. Fall damage does not affect striders that have dropped onto flowing lava, unlike the bug<ref name=StriderLavaBug/> for lava source blocks. When ridden over land, striders automatically walk up any one block high slope. They also cross any 1-wide block gap or air space that is only one block higher - diagonally up - when ridden directly upward and not completely sideways to the slope.

To safely dismount from a strider, a player who does not have [[fire resistance]] may face a solid block within reach before dismounting to dismount onto that block,<ref>{{citation|url=https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1256260637283569673|author=[[Brandon Pearce]]| title = …dismounting Striders when looking at a nearby solid block will dismount you onto that solid block, making it safer!|website=Twitter}}</ref> instead of at the strider's location (which is usually in lava<ref>https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1256262349343936513</ref>).

Striders can still be equipped with a saddle while another mob is riding it.

=== Breeding ===
{{Main|Breeding}}
If striders are given [[warped fungus]], they breed to create baby striders, granting the player 1–7 [[experience]] orbs. The parent striders have a cooldown of about 5 minutes before they can breed again. All babies obtained through 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.

== Sounds ==

Striders use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
[[File:Strider fin.png|thumb|64px|Strider's fin]]
* Striders had a fin in their texture file. The fin wasn't visible in-game and was removed in 20w15a.
* If commands are used to saddle a baby strider, and the player rides the baby strider, the player takes fire damage due to not being high enough to avoid the lava.
* Mojang added striders to the game as the solution to the community request for lava boats.<ref>
{{cite
|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360005029872-Previously-Considered-Suggestions
| title = We are introducing the Strider in the Nether update. You've got one job, Strider! Or maybe you need more. Anyway, that's the deal with lava boats.
|website=Minecraft Feedback
|date=April 2020}}
</ref>
* At one point in the strider's development, before it was added to the game, a strider out of lava would retract its legs and start to take damage while bouncing around until it died, similar to how [[fish]] suffocate when out of water. This feature was discarded for being "too sad".<ref name="meet strider">{{Mcnet|meet-strider|Meet the Strider|July 7, 2020|Per Landin}}</ref>
* Striders were planned to have their own unique armor and saddle, but this was decided against.<ref>{{tweet|CagilMartin1|1554866644132175872|once upon a time Striders were going to get their own unique armor and saddle - BRANDON PEARCE}}</ref>
* Striders were initially going to have a long tongue with each they could eat things, not too dissimilar to a current [[frog]]s. The different items would all have various effects, such as [[sword]]s hurting the strider, and [[TNT]] exploding.<ref>{{tweet|CagilMartin1|1554866644132175872|I still laugh that the Strider in my initial vision was gonna have a longue tongue that would eat things and you could throw TNT and it would explode [...] could also throw a diamond sword and damage it - BRANDON PEARCE}}</ref>
* Part of the reason that striders drop string (from their bristles) was to answer the question of "how do [[piglin]]s make crossbows?".<ref name="meet strider"/>
**In ''[[Minecraft Legends:Return of the Piglins]]'', striders shed the strings which piglins used to make crossbows.<ref>{{w|Matt Forbeck}}, ''[[Minecraft Legends:Return of the Piglins]]'', Finding the Portal (chapter 8)</ref>
* The bobbing animation that the strider makes while walking was initially an accident. However, the developers thought it was "quirky and fun", so it was added as a feature.<ref name="meet strider"/>
