Create servers perfect for treasure hunting, exploration, and adventure gameplay where players can find saddles and other rare items.
Since saddles cannot be crafted, you'll need to explore and search for them in various locations throughout your Minecraft world:
Treasure Chests:
• Dungeon chests (28% chance)
• Desert temple chests (23.5% chance)
• End city chests (13.3% chance)
• Jungle temple chests (12.9% chance)
• Village weaponsmith chests (16.2% chance)
• Stronghold altar chests (2.5% chance)
Fishing:
• Use a fishing rod to catch saddles as treasure (0.8% chance)
• Luck of the Sea enchantment increases your chances
Trading:
• Master-level leatherworker villagers sell saddles for 6 emeralds
• Reliable but requires emerald farming and villager leveling
This scarcity makes saddles valuable items that encourage exploration and adventure in survival gameplay.
Configure world generation, loot tables, and exploration settings to create the perfect environment for saddle hunting and adventure gameplay.

Many servers create custom loot tables or events around saddle hunting, making these items central to community adventures and competitions. Our hosting supports custom loot configurations and adventure-focused gameplay modifications.
Horse Riding
Saddles allow you to ride and control horses, the fastest overland transportation in Minecraft.
Pig Riding
Use saddles on pigs for fun transportation, though you'll need a carrot on a stick to control direction.
Strider Riding
Essential for Nether travel - saddle striders and use warped fungus on a stick for lava lake navigation.
Server Events
Many servers host horse racing, pig racing, or Nether exploration events that center around saddle usage and collection.
Since saddles require exploration and adventure to obtain, they're perfect for servers focused on survival gameplay, treasure hunting, and community expeditions.

Mojang intentionally made saddles non-craftable to encourage exploration and adventure. This design choice makes saddles valuable treasure items that reward players for exploring dungeons, fishing, and interacting with villagers.
The scarcity of saddles adds strategic value to transportation choices and makes finding one feel like a genuine achievement in survival gameplay.
Trading with a master-level leatherworker villager is the most reliable method, requiring 6 emeralds per saddle. Alternatively, dungeon chests offer the highest random chance at 28%.
For early game, focus on finding and exploring dungeons underground, while late game players often prefer villager trading for consistent saddle access.
Yes, many mods add saddle crafting recipes, but this changes the core gameplay balance. Some servers use custom recipes or loot modifications to adjust saddle availability.
Our hosting supports modded gameplay where saddle crafting can be enabled through various modification packs and custom server configurations.
Saddles work on horses (including donkeys and mules), pigs, and striders. Each provides different transportation benefits - horses for speed, pigs for fun, and striders for Nether lava travel.
Some mods expand saddle compatibility to other mobs, creating unique transportation options and gameplay mechanics.
For servers emphasizing exploration and adventure, ensure proper structure generation for consistent loot spawning, configure custom loot tables if desired for balanced saddle availability, create community events around treasure hunting and exploration, provide clear guidelines for saddle trading and sharing, and maintain stable performance for large-scale exploration activities.
