The Nether Fortress is really heavily guarded by powerful mobs – beware of them!

Dungeons

First of all, you need to locate a Dungeon. You can find them by digging underground.

They appear as small rooms and have monster spawners located in them. There are also loot chests ( sometimes more than one) located in Dungeons. The floor and walls of them are made out of Cobblestones and Mossy Cobblestones.

A majority of chests that are located inside of Dungeons have Saddles located in them.

Catch A Saddle While Fishing

Get up on the Horse that you have tamed and do a single-click on it. You will see that a box appears. Towards the left side, there are going to be two blank boxes.

Step 2
