Using saddles you can ride several mounts in Minecraft. There are four such mobs: horses, donkeys, mules and pigs. However, you will not be able to make a saddle yourself, because the game does not provide a crafting recipe for it. In this guide, we have collected several ways to obtain this item, so that everyone can choose a convenient and suitable option for themselves.
A saddle is a rather rare item that sometimes has to be obtained for several hours, depending on luck. Sometimes it can be found right near the spawn, if you get lucky world generation.
The easiest way to get a saddle in Minecraft is to find it in the chest. Most often, it is found among loot in desert temples, nether fortresses and abandoned minesshafts. It makes sense to look for it in the jungle temples, as well as in villages with forges. If you want to increase your chances of finding a saddle from the very start, then take advantage of seeds for temples or villages.
It was expected that in version 1.14 in Minecraft it will be possible to make a saddle, but this did not happen. But there was an opportunity to get it as a drop. It always drops out of the Pillager Beast, which slightly facilitates the search.
Despite the fact that it is impossible to make a saddle in Minecraft, it was always possible to buy it from a merchant. Look for a tanner in the villages (villager with a white apron). At first, he will only have armor on sale, but when he reaches the 3rd level of trading, a saddle will appear. Its cost will be from 8 to 10 emeralds, but with good relations with the village, the price may be lower.
If you feeling lucky, you can try to catch a seat with the help of rods. Initially, the chance will be less than 1%, but when casting “Luck of the Sea III”, it increases significantly.
Also, you can always give yourself a saddle using cheats, if you do not have time to search and trade. This can be done even without going into creative mode. If you originally created a world without cheats, then you can quickly turn them on. To do this, press Esc, select “Open world for the network” and select the option to use cheats in the settings. After that, enter the command in the console:/give @p saddle

Find a Chest in the Nether Fortress
In Minecraft, you can also add a saddle to your inventory by going to the Nether and finding a Nether fortress (ie: looks like a castle) that has a chest inside.
A Nether fortress is found in the Nether.
If you havent been to the Nether you need to build a nether portal to take you to the Nether. When you walk through a nether portal, it will transport you between the Overworld and the Nether. This is what a nether portal looks like:
Once youve found a Nether fortress, look inside the fortress for a chest. There may be many chests hidden within the fortress and each chest will contain different items.
When you find a chest in the Nether fortress, you need to open it to see what is inside.

Find a Chest in a Dungeon
You can add a saddle to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a chest in a dungeon. So, lets get started!

You can look for a dungeon by digging underground or you can quickly switch to Spectator gamemode and look for a dungeon by flying down underground. Then switch back to Creative or Survival mode once youve found the dungeon.
