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. It also uses the same textures from the pig skin, just stretched out. This was the base texture used when making the zombie pigmen mob skin.

Trivia

 * Pigmen have the same shape as Zombie Pigmen, Zombies and players.
 * The Pigmen skin is a stretched version of the original Pig skin.
 * Pigmen won't de-spawn making it likely that they will be tamable.
 * Pigmen will hold iron swords or iron pickaxes.
 * Pigmen will be spawned in a future biome called "Wyxus".
