This Boat Has Legs
Ride a Strider with a Warped Fungus on a Stick
Requirements: Find a Strider on a lava lake, place a saddle on it.
Overview
This Boat Has Legs is a task advancement in the Nether tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Ride a Strider with a Warped Fungus on a Stick." It branches directly off Nether, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Nether tab covers advancements for exploring and conquering the Nether dimension, from entering the portal to brewing potions. This Boat Has Legs was added in Minecraft 1.16, from the Nether Update, and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.
It is rated Medium difficulty on this site: requires some preparation or specific resources. Part of normal gameplay progression. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. 2 further advancements branch out of it: Feels Like Home and Hot Tourist Destinations.
In tree terms, This Boat Has Legs sits first along its line: the full path from the Nether root reads Nether -> This Boat Has Legs. That means 1 advancement must be completed before this one becomes available, and This Boat Has Legs is one of 23 total advancements in the Nether tab. It shares its parent with 7 sibling advancements (Return to Sender, Those Were the Days, Hidden in the Depths, A Terrible Fortress, Who is Cutting Onions?, Oh Shiny, and Subspace Bubble), all of which open from the same point in the tree.
How to Complete This Boat Has Legs
Earning This Boat Has Legs comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Find a Strider on a lava lake, place a saddle on it, then ride it while holding a warped fungus on a stick (crafted from a fishing rod + warped fungus).
- Use the fungus on a stick to steer.
Tips & Fastest Route
- Fastest route: Saddle a Strider on a lava lake, ride it and use the warped fungus on a stick once to make it boost.
- Striders shiver and slow on land, so mount one while it is still on lava.
- The saddle lets you ride and the stick steers, but the advancement only comes when a boost costs the stick durability.
- Make sure Nether is already ticked off before you start, otherwise This Boat Has Legs will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Medium difficulty, This Boat Has Legs is a routine step once you have the prerequisites in hand; no special grinding is usually needed beyond the items the steps call for.
Common Mistakes
- Remember that This Boat Has Legs will not appear as available until Nether is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
Reward & What It Unlocks
This Boat Has Legs grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.
Earning it unlocks 2 follow-on advancements, Feels Like Home and Hot Tourist Destinations, each of which becomes trackable only once This Boat Has Legs is complete.
