Zombified Piglin

Zombie pigmen are common undead humanoid neutral mobs that live in the Nether.

Spawning
Zombie pigmen can spawn in the Nether, from Nether portals, or from pigs struck by lightning. They have a 5% chance of spawning as a baby zombie pigman, and a baby zombie pigman has a 5% chance of spawning as a pigman jockey, although this seems to be broken in more recent updates, where only the chicken spawns.

All zombie pigmen spawn with a golden sword, which may randomly be enchanted. This chance increases at higher difficulties, and the sword's enchantment will more commonly be of a higher level.

Nether
Zombie pigmen spawn in groups of 4 in the Nether at any light level.

Nether portals
When a Nether portal block in the Overworld receives a block tick, there is a small chance (1/2000 on Easy, 2/2000 on Normal, and 3/2000 on Hard) it will spawn a zombie pigman on the portal frame beneath it. If a zombie pigman spawned in this way does not leave the portal it spawns on, there is a possibility it will teleport to the nether.

Pigs
A zombie pigman will spawn when lightning strikes within 4 blocks of a pig. If the player is riding the pig when lightning hits it, a zombie pigman will appear on top of the player. Even if the pig is a baby, the zombie pigman will still be an adult.

Drops
Zombie pigmen drop:

Common drops

 * 0–1
 * 0–1 s.
 * The maximum amount of each can be increased by 1 per level of Looting used, up to a maximum of 4 each at Looting III.

Rare drops

 * 2.5% chance to drop a if killed by a player
 * 8.5% chance to drop their when their death is registered as a player kill.
 * The chances of each can be increased by 1% per level of Looting.

Experience
Zombie pigmen drop 5 experience (12 if baby), when their death is registered as a player kill. Since 1.8, deaths of hostile pigmen will always be registered as kills by the player they are targeting, regardless of whether that player ever touched that pigman.

All items zombie pigmen have picked up after spawning will be dropped upon death.

Halloween
On Halloween (October 31), zombie pigmen have a 22.5% chance of spawning with a pumpkin or a 2.5% chance of spawning with a jack o'lantern equipped as headgear.

If a zombie pigman wearing a pumpkin or jack o'lantern is killed using a tool enchanted with Looting, there will be a chance equivalent to the level of Looting used to drop the pumpkin or jack o'lantern, up to a maximum of a 3% chance at Looting III.

Behavior
Zombie pigmen tend to move relatively slowly. They can drown, but are immune to fire and lava damage. Baby zombie pigmen are faster than adult zombie pigmen. When provoked, their speed will increase to the player's walking speed. They will also make an aggressive noise between 0 to 39 ticks after they are attacked, crowding around and will try to overwhelm the player. In addition, some zombie pigmen will have the ability to spawn reinforcements when attacked, including when killed in a single hit.

Like zombies, zombie pigmen will usually bang on wooden doors, and on Hard difficulty, they even break them.

Some zombie pigmen have the ability to pick up items. They will even pick up a weapon if they feel it is better than their golden sword, dropping their golden sword with the same chance as if killed with Looting I.

Zombie pigmen actively seek out and try to destroy turtle eggs.

Zombie pigmen are undead mobs, and are damaged by the status effect Instant Health and healed by the status effect Instant Damage. They are unaffected by the status effects Regeneration and Poison.They are ignored by Wither and affected by Smite Enchantment.

Hostility
Zombie pigmen are not initially hostile, but all zombie pigmen within a 67×67×21 to 111×111×21 area centered on the attacked pigman will become aggressive and converge on the player if any individual is attacked, unless the pigman attacked is killed in one hit. This applies to any hit registered as coming from the player or other mobs, including deflecting ghast fireballs and from sweep attacks.

Zombie pigmen will remain hostile for 20 to 39.95 seconds, although they will continue to pursue an already-targeted player after this time until the player escapes their 40 block pursuit radius. Approaching within 35 blocks of an already hostile zombie pigman causes it to sound an alarm call, angering other zombie pigmen in a 40-block radius. The forgiveness timer does not advance for zombie pigmen in unloaded chunks. Thus, if the player enters a Nether portal and returns, any provoked zombie pigmen in the area will still be aggressive unless another player was nearby to keep the chunks loaded. Dying will not cause zombie pigmen to become neutral towards the player, regardless of whether they killed you. Furthermore, they will still pursue even if the player is under the effects of Invisibility.

Non-hostile zombie pigmen will not prevent a player from sleeping in a bed.

In Bedrock Edition when baby Zombie Pigman is provoked, it has 15% chance to become jockey when try attacking player, or golem. Mob that mountable by baby zombie pigman is:
 * Cow
 * Ocelot
 * Wolf
 * Mooshroom

 * Horse
 * Donkey
 * Mule
 * Zombie Horse (unused jockey variant)
 * Skeleton Horse
 * Llama
 * Adult zombie
 * Adult zombie villager
 * Adult zombie pigman
 * Adult Husk

 * Due baby zombie pigman only want to become jockey if provoked by player or golem, and most mountable mobs spawn in Overworld, these baby zombie pigman jockey variant is the rarest jockey.
 * Although baby zombie pigman want to be jockey when provoked, It still ride the mountable mob even after neutral again it not dismount the mob.
 * If baby zombie pigman riding a mob that rideable by player, that mob no longer rideable by player.
