Piglin Brute

Piglin brutes are hostile variants of piglins that guard bastion remnants. They spawn with golden axes. Unlike their piglin counterparts, they are always hostile towards the player, even if the player is wearing golden armor.

Spawning
Piglin brutes spawn exclusively in all types of bastion remnants.

Drops
Piglin brutes have a chance of dropping their held item (a with random durability).

Experience

Behavior
Piglin brutes are hostile on Easy, Normal and Hard difficulties, but are passive on Peaceful difficulty.

Unlike piglins, piglin brutes do not retreat from soul fire or soul fire related items.

Hostility
Piglin brutes attack any players in their sight. They are not distracted by gold, and will attack the player even if they are wearing gold armor.

Zombification
When in the Overworld or the End, piglin brutes transform into zombified piglins after 15 seconds. Upon transformation, the spawned zombified piglin has the Nausea effect for 10 seconds.
