Allows entities to mount or dismount other entities.

Usage

In Java Edition, all types of entities can ride another entity, and most can be ridden by one. The entities which cannot be ridden are markers, players, fishing bobbers, leash knots, and lightning bolts. When riding, the entity is known as a passenger. When ridden, the entity is known as the vehicle.

In Bedrock Edition, an entity cannot ride entities which are not normally rideable for it in vanilla game, which is mainly data driven, controlled by the minecraft:rideable component in the entity files in behavior packs (see Riding#Valid riding combinations in vanilla for details; see also the official doc). In Bedrock Edition, this command can also be used to summon passengers and mounts.

Example

In Java Edition, to ride and try to tame a skeleton horse or zombie horse:
