After a long wait of 15 years, players of Minecraft can now enjoy the ability to craft saddles, a feature introduced with Snapshot 25w20a. Previously, saddles were elusive treasures, found only in chests located within Nether fortresses, desert pyramids, and dungeons. This made them one of the most sought-after items in the game.
How to craft saddles in Minecraft
With the latest update, players can now create saddles using a simple recipe:
- 3 pieces of leather
- 1 iron ingot
The crafting recipe becomes available as soon as players collect their first piece of leather, enabling them to create as many saddles as they desire.
Other saddle-related changes
The update also brings exciting new mechanics related to saddles:
- Shears can now be used to remove saddles from mobs, allowing for a seamless transition between mounts.
- Leash mechanics have been enhanced, enabling players to connect multiple animals to the same leash.
These changes represent a significant evolution in Minecraft’s mount system, simplifying the process of taming and riding various creatures such as horses, camels, and pigs. Gone are the days of scouring dungeons for a saddle—players can now craft their own and embark on adventures throughout the expansive world without constraints.
