Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Strider Summon Generator

  1. Type strider into the search box, or select it from the Utility/Other group in the dropdown.
  2. Toggle Is Baby for a baby strider instead of an adult.
  3. Check Saddle if you want it spawned already equipped for lava-riding.
  4. Check Shivering (no lava) to spawn it in its cold, shivering animation – the state it enters away from lava or warm blocks.
  5. Copy the generated /summon command into a command block, server console, or operator chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

Base command: /summon minecraft:strider ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. The three fields map to:

  • IsBaby:1b – spawns a baby strider instead of an adult.
  • Saddle:1b – attaches a saddle, the item that lets a player ride the strider across lava while steering it with a warped fungus on a stick.
  • Shivering:1b – starts the strider in its cold-and-shivering state, the same animation triggered naturally when a strider is away from lava, fire, or other warm surfaces for too long.

Note there’s no Owner or Tamed field for Strider – unlike a horse or camel, striders don’t need to be tamed at all; a saddle alone is enough to make a strider rideable and controllable by any player.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a saddled strider need to be tamed first before it can be ridden?

No – striders skip the taming step entirely; a saddle is all that’s required. As soon as Saddle:1b is set, any player can mount and control the strider immediately, unlike horses which need repeated mounting until they accept a rider.

Will this strider actually walk safely across lava like a real one?

Yes – walking on lava without sinking or burning is baseline strider behavior tied to the entity type itself, active on a summoned strider exactly as it would be on a naturally spawned one, since it’s not gated by any of this generator’s NBT fields.

What happens if I check Shivering but summon the strider directly over lava?

The Shivering:1b tag sets its starting animation state regardless of surroundings, but the strider’s own AI still runs afterward and will detect the nearby lava, so it should stop shivering on its own shortly after spawning once it registers the warm surface.

Can I steer this strider without holding anything special?

No – steering a strider (as opposed to just riding along wherever it wanders) specifically requires holding a warped fungus on a stick while mounted; this generator only handles the strider’s own spawn NBT, not the item a rider needs to hold.
