One of the biggest features of the Minecraft Snapshot 25w20a is the major overhaul to the saddles. As part of the update, saddles are now craftable and can be removed easily from mobs using shears. The recipe is unlocked when the player picks up their first leather. They can craft the item using 3 leather and 1 iron ingot, making it a far more accessible method than stumbling across it.

Additionally, saddles, carpets, and horse armor can be removed from the mobs they can be equipped on by using shears. As part of the ability for crafting, saddles have been removed from loot pools such as monster room chests, ancient city chests, and others, to be replaced with 1-5 leather.
