Pigman

Alongside Zombie Pigmen, Notch confirmed adding living pigmen. These would not appear in The Nether, but would possibly appear in a passive variation of a mob village.

There is a possibility that they will drop porkchops, like pigs and zombie pigmen.

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 freely walking. 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. Its skin is based off of the pig skin. This was the base texture used when making the zombie pigman mob skin. They cannot be spawned in smp single player commands or any mods with out adding pigman yet.

Trivia

 * Pigmen have the same shape as Zombie Pigmen, Zombies and players.
 * Since Miclee made up the idea for pigmen, he was given the Bacon Cloak, but pretty soon, Notch was asked many times to give players capes and it was taken away from him.
