Saddle a strider, steer it across a lava ocean and race the long way round.
A lava ocean blocks the way. No bridge. No boat. Just a wobbly red creature that loves to walk on fire.
- New skill Riding and steering a strider
- Level 9 · Ultimate Survival
- Difficulty Advanced
- Mode Survival
- Time 40–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Craft a warped fungus on a stick, drink Fire Resistance as a backup and saddle a strider at the edge of a lava ocean. Steer it across, time the ride, then time the long way round on foot and see which route wins.
Finish line: You've crossed the lava on a saddled strider and timed it against the slow way round.
Bonus challenge: Build a lava pen next to your hub with a little dock, ride your strider home and park it there for future trips.
You’ll need
- A saddle
- A fishing rod
- Warped fungus
- A Fire Resistance potion
- Spare blocks
You choose
- My strider's name
- My finish line across the lava
- My bet: strider or the long way, which is faster?
Stuck?
- Only adult striders can be saddled. Hold the warped fungus on a stick to steer once you're on.
- Striders are slow and shivery on land. Keep them on lava.
- Fell in? Drink Fire Resistance straight away and swim for the shore.
