Strider

Baby:Height: 0.85 blocksWidth: 0.45 blocks

A strider is a passive mob found in the Nether. It can walk on lava and be saddled by the player, being directed via a warped fungus on a stick. They can be fed warped fungus to breed, and act as a source of string.

Striders can spawn in every Nether biome. Groups of 2 to 4 striders spawn on spaces of lava that have an air block above. In Java Edition, striders are the only passive mob in the Nether, so spawning attempts are made every 400 game ticks. In Bedrock Edition, striders share the animal population cap with hoglins, and their spawn rate depends on the biome, being impacted by the ability of other mobs to spawn at a given coordinate.
