Minecraft:Strider Jockey
More actions
Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox entity A strider jockey is the appearance of a Minecraft:strider being ridden by a Minecraft:zombified piglinTemplate:Only<ref>Zombified piglins have not spawned on top of saddled striders since Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.0 due to Template:Bug.</ref>. The zombified piglin rider wields a Minecraft:warped fungus on a stick and the strider is Minecraft:saddled. They sometimes spawn when an adult strider naturally spawns in Minecraft:the Nether.
Spawning
Template:Exclusive Adult striders have a Template:Frac chance to spawn being ridden by a zombified piglin. The strider spawns wearing a Minecraft:saddle, while the zombified piglin spawns with a Minecraft:warped fungus on a stick in its hand, replacing the usual Minecraft:golden sword or spear. The zombified piglin can also spawn as a Minecraft:baby.
Template:IN on Minecraft:Halloween, there is a 22.5% chance for the zombified piglin to spawn wearing a Minecraft:carved pumpkin on its head, and a 2.5% chance to spawn wearing a Minecraft:jack o'lantern.
Strider jockeys also have a chance to spawn when using the strider Minecraft:spawn egg.
Behavior
The movement of the strider jockey is controlled by the zombified piglin Template:In, or controlled by the strider Template:In. Like regular striders, the jockey will move faster while in Minecraft:lava and slower when out of lava.
Like zombified piglins, strider jockeys are neutral towards Minecraft:players and other Minecraft:mobs. They are angered when the rider or any nearby zombified piglin is attacked, resulting in the strider jockey attacking the aggressor via melee. They also pathfind towards and stomp on Minecraft:turtle eggs. The strider jockey does not retaliate when the strider itself is attacked.
Unlike players, the zombified piglin cannot “use” the warped fungus on a stick and make the strider move faster.
Template:IN, the strider cannot be tempted by a Minecraft:warped fungus or Minecraft:warped fungus on a stick while being ridden by the zombified piglin. In both editions, the strider can be fed and Minecraft:leashed. The strider’s saddle cannot be removed using Minecraft:shears while the zombified piglin is riding it.
When the rider is dismounted or killed, the strider becomes Minecraft:passive. Additionally, the strider can immediately be ridden by the player due to spawning with a saddle already equipped. The saddle can be removed using shears and is also dropped upon the strider's death.
