Zombified Piglin

Zombie Pigmen are neutral mobs that first appeared in Minecraft alpha. Zombie Pigmen drop cooked porkchops when killed, and therefore are a renewable source of food in the Nether.

Behavior
Zombie Pigmen wander around aimlessly, avoiding cliffs, Ghasts and lava. If you stand near a Zombie Pigman, it will turn its head towards you for a few seconds, then resume its wandering. Zombie Pigmen often spawn in packs of 4-10. Attacking one Zombie Pigman will cause the entire group to become hostile, often swarming the player. If the player moves a certain distance from a pack, waits a while or leaves the nether and returns; they will become neutral again. Switching the difficulty to Peaceful will also make the group become neutral again.

Information & History

 * Zombie Pigmen are supposed to be immune to lava and fire, but if they are in lava for long enough, they will be damaged. They do play a burning animation in sunlight, but are unharmed from it.
 * Despite wielding a golden sword, they deal 2.5 damage instead of the normal 2 damage.
 * Zombie Pigmen were originally suggested by Miclee, and the original skin was created by X__x, although his gory texture was made less sanguinary by Notch.
 * Zombie Pigmen, prior to the 10th of November 2010 update, would never forgive the player.

Drops

 * 0-2 Cooked Porkchops
