Minecraft All Mount Guide: Where to find & How to Tame
- 5 min read

In Minecraft server hosting, traveling on foot is just the beginning. Mounts make your experiences more exciting by letting you do things like cross grassy plains, explore the fiery Nether, or even soar through the skies on a rare flying companion. This guide goes over all the main rideable animals, tells you how to tame or care for them.
TIP
Horse
Where to Find:
Plains and Savanna biomes.
How to Tame:
Approach the horse with an empty hand and right-click to mount. It will buck you off repeatedly. Keep getting back on until hearts appear — this means it’s tamed. Feeding sugar, wheat, apples, golden apples, or golden carrots makes the horse more willing.
How to Ride:
Equip a saddle to control your horse. You can also add horse armor for extra protection.
Breeding:
Two tamed horses can be bred with golden apples or golden carrots.
Donkey
Where to Find:
Plains biomes.
How to Tame:
Same as a horse — mount until hearts appear.
Special Feature:
Donkeys can carry a chest, giving you extra storage during long trips.
Breeding:
Feed two tamed donkeys golden apples or golden carrots.
Mule
Where to Find:
Mules do not spawn naturally. You must breed a horse and a donkey.
How to Tame:
Like horses and donkeys, mount until tamed.
Special Feature:
Like donkeys, mules can carry chests for storage.
Breeding:
Mules cannot breed with other mules — you must breed new ones by crossing horses and donkeys.
TIP
Pig
Where to Find:
Most grassy biomes, villages, and farms.
How to Ride:
Pigs cannot be tamed but can be controlled when saddled. Put a saddle on a pig, then hold a carrot on a stick to steer. Use the stick to boost speed.
Breeding:
Feed pigs carrots, potatoes, or beetroots to breed them.
Camel
Where to Find:
Desert villages.
How to Ride:
Camels don’t need taming. Just place a saddle on them. Camels can carry two players at once, making them perfect for co-op adventures. They also have a special dash move that lets them cross gaps or rivers easily.
Breeding:
Feed two camels a cactus each.
Skeleton Horse - Rare
Where to Find:
Skeleton Horses only appear during a rare event called a Skeleton Trap — during thunderstorms, lightning can spawn a Skeleton Horse Trap, which splits into a mounted skeleton horse with a rider. Defeat the skeleton rider, and the horse remains.
How to Tame:
No taming needed — once the rider is gone, the skeleton horse is automatically rideable.
How to Ride:
Place a saddle on it to control direction and speed. Skeleton Horses can travel underwater without drowning — a unique perk among mounts.
Breeding:
Skeleton Horses cannot be bred in vanilla Minecraft.
Strider - Lava Mounts
Where to Find:
Nether lava lakes.
How to Ride:
Striders don’t need taming. Place a saddle on a strider, then hold a warped fungus on a stick to steer it safely across lava. They’re the only passive mob that lets you walk over lava pools — a must for Nether explorers.
Breeding:
Feed two striders warped fungus to breed a baby strider.
Happy Ghast - Flying Mount
IMPORTANT
The Happy Ghast is a brand-new friendly flying mob added in the 1.21.6 "Chase the Skies" update, giving players a true air mount in vanilla Minecraft for the first time
Where to Find:
Craft or find a Dried Ghast block near Nether fossils, then hydrate it in water to hatch a Ghastling.
How to Ride:
Feed the Ghastling snowballs until it grows into a Happy Ghast. Equip it with a harness, then mount up to fly — it can carry up to four players at once and soars freely through the skies.
Breeding:
Happy Ghasts can’t be bred, but they slowly heal over time, especially in rain or snow.
TIP
Result
In Minecraft, players can ride Horses, Donkeys, Mules, Pigs (with a saddle and carrot on a stick), Camels (carry two players), Skeleton Horses (rare storm event), Striders (walk on lava with a warped fungus on a stick), and the new Happy Ghast (flyable, hatched from a Dried Ghast).
