Striders are passive monsters that spawn in the Nether and can be mounted using Saddles. Saddles cannot be crafted and are found inside chests from Bastions, Dungeons, Strongholds, Villages, and other structures found around the world. To control a Strider, you'll need a Warped Fungus on a Stick.
These nasty red cuboid creatures wander the Nether and serve quite a useful purpose. While players could cling to the sides of the Nether and take their chances bridging over lava lakes, they could also tame a Strider and ride it across lava unharmed.
Saddles can be found in the chests of most strongholds in the game, including nether fortresses.

While in the Nether, players can also barter with Piglins using Gold for a chance to earn string from them. Finally, when fishing, players have a chance of getting string as loot. Those with tamed cats can also occasionally wake up to their cat gifting them string after sleeping through a night in their bed.

Piglins are known to attack any player with no gold equipment. They'll also attack players who attack other Piglins or Pigline Brutes. They'll also attack you if you break/open any of the items listed below. If you break any type of Gold Ore around them, that'll provoke them into attacking you.
Hoglins are hostile toward players and can launch them into the air. Even though they are pretty strong, hoglins are scared of warped fungi. Players can use warped fungi to scare hoglins away.
