This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a pig wearing a saddle with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

You can summon a pig that is already tamed, wearing a saddle, and ready to ride whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

How to Enter the Command

1. Open the Chat Window

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button  at the top of the screen.
  • For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
  • For PS4, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button  on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
  • For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a pig that is wearing a saddle in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:

/summon pig ~ ~ ~ {Saddle:1}

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the pig with a saddle will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message “Summoned new Pig” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the pig has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

This pig will be wearing a saddle and rideable. Since a saddle is a difficult item to find in the game, this is a great cheat that can save you a lot of time. Just mount the pig to ride it!

TIP: If you want to control the direction that the pig walks, then craft a carrot on a stick and hold it in your hand while riding the pig.

Congratulations, you have summoned a pig with a saddle in Minecraft.
