I have been playing on a friend's nether realm which is currently at Java version 16.5 Originally I was able to ride striders in the nether, (using a saddle and a nether fungus on a fishing rod)
Recently, I added a saddle on a Strider, and mounted it and held the warped fungus on a stick, and the strider did not move. Even when I right clicked, it didn't move.
Here are some things I have considered
- It was in lava (it should also be able to move outside of lava, just much slower)
- It was not "stuck" in a block (I broke all the blocks around it)
- I removed my shield (which was in my off hand, just in case that was a problem)
- When I change my view, the animation does not show me holding the fungus on a stick, despite it being the current item in my hot bar.
We recently turned the mob-griefing
gamerule off, but none of the available documentation indicated that this was a problem.
Is this resolvable by me? Should I enter a bug at MoJang's bug tracking site?
