How to Obtain (you can’t make) a Saddle in Minecraft
Horseback riding is such a great feature in Minecraft. However, you will need a saddle to do this. In this article we will show all the methods to get a saddle in Minecraft!
How to make a saddle in minecraft
Although Saddle was added to Minecraft a long time ago (version 1.8), there is no official way to craft or craft a Saddle in Minecraft. You can only get it from certain locations and mobs. Let’s read on to see what they are!
4 ways to get a saddle in Minecraft
We sort these methods by difficulty. This means that the easiest way to get a saddle in Minecraft is by searching for treasure chests. The most difficult and risky way is to find and kill specific mobs. So choose a path that suits you best!
#1 In search of treasure chests
As you venture around in the Minecraft world, you can discover many generated structures such as dungeons, temples or villages. These structures can contain chests with saddles inside. So once you find one, look for chests!
Below is the list of all structures with a chance for chests that contain a saddle.
- Dungeon: 27.9% in the Java Edition and 28.3% in the Bedrock Edition
- Ancient City: 16.1%
- Bastion Remnant: 13.6%
- Desert Temple: 23.5%
- Jungle Temple: 12.9% in JE and 12.8% in BE
- End city: 13.3%
- Nether Fortress: 35.3%
- Fortress: 2.5% in JE and 2.4% in BE
- Village: 11.3% to 17.3%, depending on the house.
As you can see, the more dangerous the structure, the more likely you are to find a saddle in his chest.
#2 Fishing
This is by far the most peaceful way to get a saddle in Minecraft! However, we make this number two on the list as the chance of catching a saddle while fishing is very slim at only 0.8% to 1.9%.
To go fishing in Minecraft you need to craft a Fishing Rod with 3 sticks and 2 lines by following the crafting recipe below. Then you might want to enchant your fishing rod with the Luck of the Sea enchantment to increase the chance of a saddle. (+0.3% per level)
#3 Trade with villagers
This is another peaceful method of getting a saddle in Minecraft. But it actually costs you quite a bit of time and material! First you need to find a village structure. If you have already found a chestless village with a saddle in Method 1, try here!
Find the Leatherworker Villager and start trading with him. If you can’t find one, you can craft a cauldron and place it near an unemployed villager to transform it into the Leatherworker.
When the leatherworker reaches master level, you can exchange 6 emeralds for a saddle. You can repeat this process 12 times before it will be locked and you will have to wait half a day in Minecraft to trade it again.
#4 Kill mobs
The last method to get a saddle in Minecraft is to kill specific mobs. Since mobs will drop a saddle on death if they spawn with one. The reason we’re doing this number four is that not only will it take a lot of time to find the mobs, but it’s also super dangerous to kill!
The first mob that can spawn with a saddle is Strider, which only spawns in the Nether dimension, specifically on the Lava Lake. Do you see how dangerous it is? And the chance of finding a saddle in the middle of the lava lake is super low!
The second mob on the list is a Ravager, a massive and dangerous enemy mob with 100 health points and 7-18 damage (that’s x3-x6 damage compared to a normal zombie). Also, Ravagers mostly spawn within a raid wave, meaning they spawn with other mobs, making one super hard to defeat!
So there are 4 ways to get a saddle in Minecraft. We hope you will take some time and do some research before embarking on a saddle adventure. Prepare your gear and let’s go!
