Elemental Tempest Strider

Quickstart

1. Find an Elemental Tempest Strider in the Overworld, or spawn one with its egg from the Creative Spawn Eggs tab.
2. Hold warped fungus and right-click the Strider to befriend it. This uses one fungus in Survival.
3. Attack a hostile mob nearby—or let one attack you. Your Strider will follow you and fight to protect you, using melee attacks and elemental storms.

Overview

The Elemental Tempest Strider is a hovering companion. Once befriended, it follows its owner, persists instead of naturally despawning, and joins in when its owner attacks or is attacked.

What It Adds

• The Elemental Tempest Strider mob, which can spawn naturally in the Overworld.
• A matching spawn egg, available in Creative mode.
• Three storm attacks: a slowing, pushing wave; a fire burst; and a tornado that scatters foes.

How To Use

Right-click an unowned Strider with warped fungus to bind it to yourself. Only its owner can bind it, and the bond is saved.

When there is no enemy to fight, the Strider follows its owner if they get far away. To see it defend you, engage a hostile mob or let one attack you; it will target threats to its owner and attack them.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Strider hovers close to the ground and can move over gaps. In combat, it attacks enemies at close range and periodically unleashes one of three storms:

• Wave: damages, slows, and pushes nearby foes.
• Fire: damages nearby foes and sets them alight.
• Tornado: damages and launches nearby foes without changing blocks.

The storms cycle while the Strider has a valid target. The owner and their teammates are excluded from its storm attacks.
