How to Get Saddles and Totems Through Crafting

Crafting Saddles

Saddles are now craftable, eliminating the need to hunt through dungeon loot or fish for hours. Gather the required materials—primarily leather and string or similar components—and arrange them on your crafting table. Check Just Enough Items for the exact recipe layout.

Crafting Totems of Undying

Totems of Undying provide a one-time protection against death, making them extremely valuable. The crafting recipe uses materials that require some effort to gather but are obtainable through normal gameplay. Once crafted, hold the totem in your offhand for automatic activation when you take fatal damage.

Practical Use

With craftable saddles, you can quickly equip multiple horses, donkeys, or llamas for transport without relying on rare drops. Craftable totems let you build a safety net for dangerous expeditions—carry multiple copies in your inventory or store them at your base.

Strategy

Consider maintaining a stockpile of both items. Saddles enable efficient travel networks, while totems provide insurance against unexpected hazards in the Nether, End, or deep caves.
