How to Make Saddle in Minecraft

Saddles can't be crafted. Get one from chest loot in dungeons, temples, and Nether fortresses, by fishing, or by trading Emeralds with a master-level Leatherworker villager.

You'll need

  • Emeralds (for trading)

Station / tools

  • Fishing Rod (optional)

Yields: 1 Saddle (no crafting recipe exists)

Step by step

  1. 1

    Search generated chests

    Saddles appear in dungeon, desert/jungle temple, Nether fortress, stronghold, and village chests. Explore and loot containers.

  2. 2

    Trade with a Leatherworker

    A master-level Leatherworker villager sells a Saddle for Emeralds in Java Edition. Level up the villager by trading with it.

  3. 3

    Go fishing

    Saddles are a 'treasure' catch when fishing. A Luck of the Sea rod improves your odds.

Tips

  • You can also get a Saddle from a ridden Strider in the Nether, or rarely from other mobs.
  • Use a Saddle on a tamed Horse, Donkey, Mule, Pig (with a Carrot on a Stick), or Strider (with a Warped Fungus on a Stick) to ride it.
