How To Make a Saddle in Minecraft: 2025 Guide


It’s no secret that the world within Minecraft is huge, with many things to do and explore. However, getting around on foot can be time-consuming. That’s where the saddle comes in—it allows players to ride horses and unlock much faster transportation. But unlike most items, saddles can’t be crafted in Survival mode. Instead, players need to find them.

Where to Find Saddles in Minecraft?

There are several places where you can find a saddle in Minecraft. These include:

1. Loot Chests

Loot chests are one of the easiest ways to find a saddle (along with many other useful items). You can discover them in various locations, including Dungeons, Nether Fortresses, Desert Temples, Bastions, Jungle Temples, and End Cities.

2. Trade with Leatherworker Villagers

When a leatherworker reaches Expert level, they’ll offer saddles in exchange for six emeralds. This is a simple and reliable way to get one if you’ve got an emerald farm or a good trading hall.

3. Fishing

As strange as it sounds, it’s possible to fish up a saddle. While the chances are less than 1%, using a fishing rod enchanted with Luck of the Sea improves your odds. We also recommend setting up an AFK fishing farm for better results.

4. Defeat a Ravager During a Raid

Ravagers—hostile mobs that appear during raids—can sometimes drop saddles when defeated. It’s a risky method, but if you’re already defending a village, it’s worth a try.

How To Make a Saddle in Creative Mode?

If you’re playing in creative mode, you don’t need to go looking for the saddle. Instead, you can grab it from the inventory menu. Just note that saddles are stored in different inventory tabs depending on your edition:

  • Java Edition: Found under Transportation and Tools & Utilities.
  • Bedrock Edition: Located under Equipment.

How To Use a Saddle?

Once you’ve acquired the saddle:

  1. Find a horse and right-click on it to attempt to mount. The horse will likely buck you off a few times, but each attempt helps tame it.

  2. Once tamed, right-click again to mount, then press E to open the inventory.
  3. Move the saddle from your hotbar to the saddle slot on the left side of the horse’s inventory.
