Pigman

Alongside Zombie Pigmen, Notch confirmed adding living Pigmen. These will not appear in the Nether, but will appear in a passive variation of a mob village.

A living Pigman texture can be found in the .jar file (shown right), although Pigmen cannot spawn naturally in the game yet. Notch has recently mentioned adding Pigmen again but in NPC villages instead of aimlessly wandering. These villages will not be made by the Pigmen though; they will be premade and uploaded into the world.

Like Zombies, the Pigman mob texture can be used as a player skin because it has the same dimensions. This was the base texture used when making the Zombie Pigman mob skin. Pigmen cannot be spawned in SSP or SMP with mods/hacks, since there is no coding present for them, just the skin.

Trivia

 * Pigmen have the same shape as Zombie Pigmen, Zombies and players.
 * Minecraft user Miclee made up the idea for Pigmen. He was given the Bacon Cloak as a reward. Afterwards, Notch was asked for personal capes by other users, and the Bacon Cloak was taken away from Miclee.
