How to change mounts in Minecraft Legends

Mounts are the only way to travel in Minecraft Legends, Mojang's latest foray outside their original game. Of the four mounts currently in the game, each comes with its own advantage. They all have special abilities that differentiate and improve them in a given situation, so you will want to switch back and forth between them. This article explains how to do it easily.

Minecraft Legends guide: Switching mounts

There are two ways to change mounts. You can change your ride when you experience one in the wild, or, if you don't wish to bother with that, look for one in the village. Once you've unlocked them all, the latter is an easy method.

Method 1: Visit any nearby village

If a mount has been unlocked (by riding them once), it will be waiting for you at a village in the game. Any village will do, so find the nearest one and head to it. When you get close enough, you can press the swap button, and you will jump off onto the new one.

Whenever you want to change later, you can repeat this step. Be sure to unlock all mounts as early as possible.

Method 2: Find one in the wild

Finding one in the wild can be a helpful way to switch, but only if you are in the biome they spawn in. If that is not the case, you will need to use Method 1.

The Brilliant Beetle and the Regal Tiger can both be located in the Jungle, while the Big Beak is found in Jagged Peaks. If you're near these, you can find a new mount without needing to head to a village.

The Horse is your default when you begin playing Minecraft Legends, so finding one in the wild is impossible. Once you get up to a new mount in its natural habitat, use the same buttons to switch onto the new mount.

Horses are fast, with the ability to sprint endlessly. Birds are not as fast, but they do have the ability to fly and are the only mount capable of doing that. Beetles are also not fast, but they can climb things. The Tigers are by far the fastest mount in the game and are also good for killing Piglins.
