Description

Strider Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode item that spawns a Strider — the lava-walking passive mob of the Nether — added in the Minecraft 1.16 Nether Update. Strider Spawn Egg cannot be obtained in Survival; it appears only in the Creative inventory or through the /give minecraft:strider_spawn_egg command. The egg shows the warm reddish-and-grey speckled pattern that mirrors a Strider's coral-colored body and pale legs, making Strider Spawn Egg easy to pick out among other Nether spawn eggs.

Using Strider Spawn Egg on a block spawns an adult Strider that takes no damage from lava and travels quickly across the Nether's lava seas. Place a saddle on the spawned Strider and steer it with a Warped Fungus on a Stick to ride across lava lakes safely. A Strider shivers, turns purple, and slows down the moment it leaves lava or is caught in rain, so Strider Spawn Egg works best when used directly on a lava surface in the Nether.

Java & Bedrock Edition

How to use the Strider Spawn Egg in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Get the egg

    Search 'Strider' in the Creative inventory, or run /give @s minecraft:strider_spawn_egg to obtain the Strider Spawn Egg in Survival.

  2. 2

    Aim at lava

    Point at a lava surface in the Nether so the spawned Strider lands on lava and can move freely without slowing down.

  3. 3

    Use the egg

    Right-click (Java) or tap (Bedrock) the chosen block to spawn an adult Strider on the spot.

  4. 4

    Saddle and ride

    Put a saddle on the Strider and hold a Warped Fungus on a Stick to steer it across lava lakes.

Edition difference

In Bedrock Edition, sneak while using the egg to spawn a baby Strider; Java Edition always spawns an adult.
