A strider jockey is the appearance of a saddled strider being ridden by a zombified piglin‌^{[JE only][1]}.

Strider jockeys can also spawn as baby striders riding adult striders. When this happens, the adult strider is never saddled.

Adult striders have a ¹⁄₃₀ chance to spawn being ridden by a zombified piglin. The strider spawns wearing a saddle, while the zombified piglin spawns with a warped fungus on a stick in its hand, replacing the usual golden sword or spear. The zombified piglin can also spawn as a baby.

In Java Edition on Halloween, there is a 22.5% chance for the zombified piglin to spawn wearing a carved pumpkin on its head, and a 2.5% chance to spawn wearing a jack o'lantern.

Adult striders have a ¹⁄₁₀ chance to spawn being ridden by a baby strider.

The zombified piglin and strider each drop mostly the same items they normally would (see Zombified Piglin § Drops and Strider § Drops).

There are two (three in Bedrock Edition) notable differences:

• Instead of a golden sword, the zombified piglin has a chance to drop the warped fungus on a stick it is holding with random durability, with an 8.5% chance in Java Edition and a 25% chance in Bedrock Edition.
• The strider will always drop its worn saddle when killed.
• In Bedrock Edition, the zombified piglin rider drops no experience when killed, and never attacks aggressors.

The movement of the strider jockey is controlled by the zombified piglin. Because of the strider, the jockey will move faster while in lava and slower when on land.

Like zombified piglins, these strider jockeys are neutral towards the player and other mobs. They are angered when the rider or any nearby zombified piglin is attacked, resulting in the strider jockey attacking the aggressor via melee. They also pathfind towards and stomp on turtle eggs.

Unlike players, the zombified piglin cannot “use” the warped fungus on a stick and force the strider to move faster.

When the rider is killed, the strider becomes passive. Additionally, the strider can immediately be ridden by the player due to spawning with a saddle already equipped. The saddle is dropped upon the strider's death.

The strider cannot be tempted by a warped fungus or warped fungus on a stick while being ridden by the zombified piglin‌^{[JE only]}, but it can be leashed. The strider’s saddle cannot be removed using shears while the zombified piglin is riding it.

The baby strider can still be fed and grow up, and it does not dismount the adult strider when it does grow up. The top adult strider can be ridden.
