Piglin

Piglins are neutral mobs found in the Nether. Players can barter using gold ingots to receive various items.

Spawning
Piglins spawn in groups of 4 in nether wastes and crimson forest biomes, and within bastion remnants, at a light level of 11 or less $$, or 7 or less $$, even in Peaceful mode. 5% of piglins spawned are babies.

Drops
Adults have an 8.5% chance of dropping the held item (a or  with random durability). Each Looting level increases this chance by 1%.

Babies spawn without equipment.

A picked up item always drops without changing the durability.

Armor
Adults sometimes spawn with 1-4 pieces, which are normal or enchanted and may be:

These are dropped with an 8.5% chance and random durability.

Experience
Adults drop five points and more per armor piece if killed by a player or tamed wolf. Baby piglins drop.

Behavior
Baby piglins are passive and play with baby hoglins, running around and playing with them. Up to 3 baby piglins may stack on top of each other while riding a baby hoglin.

Idle piglins retreat from zombified piglins, zoglins, soul fire, soul torches, soul lanterns, and lit soul campfires.

Piglins cannot swim, and drown if submerged, despite being living mobs; this is intentional behavior. They are not naturally immune to fire or lava.

Piglins can open wooden doors.

Piglins snort enviously while watching players holding a gold related item.

Baby piglins can be given gold, but they cannot barter anything.

Hostility
Adult piglins are hostile, but if the player is wearing at least one piece of gold armor, they become neutral. Piglins are provoked when players (with or without gold armor) attack them or when a nearby chest, trapped chest, ender chest, barrel or shulker box is opened or broken. Hoppers can be used to extract items from chests without aggravating them, and opening or dismantling a minecart with chest does not anger them either. Breaking gold blocks, gold ore, gilded blackstone, and nether gold ore also provokes them. Piglins remain hostile for 30 seconds if the player provokes a piglin in these ways.

Breaking a bell does not provoke the piglins, despite piglins admiring them as gold.

$$, when a piglin is attacking, it holds its dominant arm and sword in front of it, similar to a vindicator. $$, a piglin holds both of its arms in front of it, similar to a zombie.

Piglins can detect the breaking and opening of blocks within a range of 16 blocks in a straight line from the player (this can be altered with the Invisibility effect). The block interacted with does not require a line of sight to anger the piglin.

Adults attack wither skeletons, withers, and adult hoglins. If outnumbered by hoglins, they flee. After defeating a hoglin, piglins have a 10% chance to do a "victory dance" by bobbing their heads and sticking out their arms like a "T-pose".

Adult piglins group together within 16 blocks and attack in hordes.

When attacking with a crossbow, piglins shoot arrows every two seconds. $$, they walk backward (stopping if at the edge of a drop) as soon as the player is close. Their crossbow can break if it runs out of durability, making the piglins use their fists. Unlike mobs armed with bows, they do not strafe from left to right while shooting. Piglins with swords and other items rush at the player.

Iron golems attack both adult and baby piglins; however, piglins do not attack an iron golem without provocation.

Piglins briefly stop attacking when given gold items. If the player offers a gold ingot, bartering then takes place as it normally would if given a gold ingot. They resume attacking once the barter is complete. If the player distracts them with a gold item and equips a piece of gold armor while the piglin is examining the item, then the piglin ends hostility towards the player.

Bartering
Piglins trade gold ingots for certain items, when a gold ingot is dropped or the player uses it while looking at them. The piglin "examines" the ingot for six or eight seconds, then drop a random item from the chart. However, baby piglins will examine the ingot, and then run away without dropping an item.

Picking up items
Piglins can pick up and equip any gold-related item, regardless of their ability to pick up other items. A piglin inspects any gold-related item for six seconds after picking it up. However, piglins will not pick up any items if the MobGriefing gamerule is set to false.

Piglins have eight hidden inventory slots in which they can stack items. Piglins with full inventories do not attempt to pick up gold related items, except gold ingots. Baby piglins attempt to pick up any item and can steal from players. Adult piglins can pick up gold nuggets and porkchops (they do not actively seek out and contemplate porkchops) and if either of those items is nearby, they instantly place it in their inventory. Piglins drop any of these items upon death aside from gold ingots, raw porkchops, and cooked porkchops.

If a piglin is killed in one hit while admiring a gold ingot, the ingot does get dropped upon the piglin’s death.

Like other mobs capable of picking up items, piglins pick up armor and weapons. However, unlike other mobs, they prefer items in the gold tier or armor material, and throw away stronger items to equip these.

Zombification


When in the Overworld or the End, piglins transform into zombified piglins after 15 seconds, retaining their armor and held items. However, they cannot shoot a crossbow and will only melee the player with it. Upon transformation, the spawned zombified piglin has the Nausea effect for 10 seconds; this is only a cosmetic effect.When piglins transform into zombified piglins,their will drop anything except equiped arms and armor in their inventories,and their inventories will disappear.
