Legends say that the Great Hog was born from lava, spat out by the Nether itself to feast on the bones of those who dare to show any resistance.

Journal

The Great Hog is the leader of the piglins, and the primary antagonist and final boss within Minecraft Legends.

Story

Spoiler warning
Spoiler warning! This section contains detailed information about Minecraft Legends that may spoil your enjoyment of it. Read at your own risk!

Before the events of the game, the Great Hog is sitting at his planning map table with the horde generals. The Beast raises its hand to give the Great Hog a Horde of the Hunt banner, which the Great Hog promptly slams onto a place on the map. The Beast nods in agreement of the chosen area the Great Hog had chosen, and sends piglins from the horde of the hunt towards the portal. The Great Hog then laughs menacingly.

Foresight afterwards senses the evil of the Great Hog coming for the Overworld. They proceed to tell Action and Knowledge to come with them to the Overworld to investigate the nether portal. They then recruit the Hero to stop the piglins and the Great Hog.

After the Hero defeats multiple Piglin Outposts, we cut to the Nether again, where the Great Hog has the Beast in chokehold, furious because of its failure. He throws the Beast towards a wall, injuring the Beast. The Great Hog then angrily calls upon the Seer, and points towards a location on the map, which is where his plan to have his next assault. The Seer responds by ordering four piglins to bring it a beacon. After the piglins bring the beacon to the Seer, it corrupts the beacon using the Orb of Dominance, where the Great Hog is mesmerized by the Seer's magic at work. The Seer then tells the piglins to place the corrupted beacon within the Night Beacon. Once it is placed, the corrupted beacon activates, shrouding the Overworld in an eternal night. After the Hero successfully destroys the night beacon, a panicked piglin runs through the nether portal towards the Great Hog and his generals to tell them the night beacon was destroyed. After hearing this news, the Great Hog grows furious, capturing the piglin. The fate of the piglin is unknown.

While the war in the Overworld rages on, the Great Hog's generals travel to the Overworld one by one to try and kill the Hero, all of them failing and dying in the process. Three piglins of each horde bring the former generals artifacts (The Devourer's back pink spore, The Unbreakable's mortar, and the Beast's bone mask) to the Great Hog's throne room. The Great Hog grows furious, confused at how the hero had taken down some of his strongest allies, and throws the three piglins to the sky. The Seer then approaches the Great Hog and enchants the Great Hog's staff with a magical power. Feeling stronger and more powerful, the Great Hog destroys a replica Well of Fate to show his new dominance. He proceeds to head towards a Nether portal, and enters it, finally seeing the Overworld. The Great Hog immediatley sees the Well of Fate, and now knowing his new target, he roars and break the Nether portal that he came through- using his staff to gather the portal's obsidian to power it. The Great Hog charges towards the Well of Fate, summoning piglins along the way and throwing his spears.

The Hero comes towards the Well of Fate for the final battle, and the Overworld's freedom from the piglins. While trying to break the Well of Fate, the Great Hog notices the Hero approaching it. He stops his rampaging to the Well of Fate to face the hero, and begins to charge at them. After a ferocious and long battle between him and the Hero, the Great Hog is weakened by the overworld allied mobs. The Great Hog defeats most of the mobs by attacking them, knocking them back and with all his remaining strength. As a last resort, he tries to destroy the Well of Fate by throwing his staff towards it, but the magic inside the staff backfires- causing a massive nether rift to appear in the sky. After the rift opened, all of the piglins in the overworld begin to get sucked into it, all of them now being sent back into the nether. The Great Hog then finally collapses in defeat.

Spawning

The Great Hog spawns at the Well of Fate after successfully defeating The Devourer, The Unbreakable and The Beast, alongside a massive base containing elements of all three hordes. The Great Hog appears near the Well itself, surrounded by a wall with gates.

===Archaeology===
{{LootChestItem|disc-relic}}

===Mob loot===
When killed by any [[skeleton]] or [[stray]] (or [[wither skeleton]] if given a [[bow]] using commands), a [[creeper]] drops a random music disc in addition to its normal drops, with the exceptions of Pigstep, otherside, 5, and Relic.

Because [[TNT]] ignited by a flaming [[arrow]] attributes all resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow, a skeleton igniting a TNT block due to holding a [[bow]] enchanted with [[Flame]], or shooting through [[lava]] or fire, also causes any creepers killed in the explosion to drop a disc.<ref>{{bug|MC-210303|||WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-150884|||WAI}}</ref>

|A somewhat unsettling, cave-themed ambient piece consisting mostly of echoed synthesized ambient sounds that closely resemble those that play in the game's caves, resonating metallic clinks, and quiet wind blowing. The entire track is wholly engulfed in reverb. At different points in the piece, muffled bow firings, a heavily reverbed hiss followed by a subsequent heavily reverbed explosion and echoed splashes can be heard in the background. The track goes silent for 13 seconds at the 1:30 mark.

At 1:46, what sounds like an interpolation of part of the melody from the track "Minecraft" plays.

The four-note pattern at 2:04 can also be heard at the beginning of "far" and "dog".

| A recording that begins with vinyl static, followed by the sounds of someone walking on or breaking [[stone]] blocks, heavy breathing, and rustling. Haunting background noises are heard throughout the recording, resembling the ambient sound effects that play in the game's caves (and by extension, the sounds of the disc "13"). After the background noises quiet down for a moment, metallic clicking or scraping noises can be heard, followed by coughing, sounds of page-turning, then more clicking or scraping. The background noises resume more loudly, and the sounds of faster footsteps or breaking [[stone]] blocks can be heard, which accelerate until they are replaced with [[dirt]] sounds as the background noises approach. A loud, distorted noise is heard roughly a second before the recording abruptly stops. At this point, one hears only quiet beeping, vinyl static, and a hissing noise, and the track ends.

|A recording that begins with static and a warped noise. After a moment of silence, there is the sound of a [[Flint and Steel|flint and steel]] lighting, [[fire]], a [[bat]], and then walking. The walking becomes heavier and metallic. The sound stops with sounds of breathing followed by a roar which warps into soft, relaxing music. The music soon transitions back, to the sound of footsteps, [[lava]] bubbling, and  [[Block of Amethyst|amethyst]]. A warped noise and a [[sculk shrieker]] can be heard activating. Then a coughing sound, something metallic and stone and sand sounds followed by another warped noise can be heard. Then, after a moment of silence, a heartbeat begins and a rising static can be heard in the background. Sounds of [[deepslate]] can then be heard, along with strange noises building up and abruptly stopping. A crescendo of overlapping warped sounds is followed then dies down. The footsteps begin again, much quieter now. A [[sculk sensor]] clicks, and a [[warden]] roars. The wardens roar warps and slows down, and then the disc ends.

The main melody of "A Time of Legends" and "The Well of Fate" from the [[Minecraft Legends:Original Game Soundtrack|original soundtrack]] of [[Minecraft Legends]] is heard later, played on the same 8-bit synthesizer. Later in the song a bass is added to the noise. Slight record grain and warbled pitches can be heard throughout the song.

==Usage==
The music discs resemble older 78-{{tooltip|rpm|Revolutions per minute}} {{w|phonograph records}} from the early 20th century, which were often played in jukeboxes from that era. They are used in ''Minecraft'' in a similar fashion: A music disc can be played on a [[jukebox]] by holding the disc and right-clicking on the jukebox.

The in-game music disc tracks are all {{w|Monaural|monaural}} recordings. Tracks released for listening outside of the game are in {{w|Stereophonic_sound|stereo}}.

If the [[player]] places a [[Redstone Comparator|comparator]] besides a jukebox, the intensity of the redstone signal depends on the disc currently played, with the following values:

==Trivia==

*Before [[Java Edition 1.13/Flattening|''The Flattening'']], data values used by music discs ranged from 2256 to 2267, while all other blocks/items used the first free data value available.
*The title "13" is a reference to the 13 cave ambience sounds that existed when the disc was added. Similar sounds can be heard throughout the track. 
**Because "13" was created in 2010, it actually uses older sound effects from earlier versions of the game for bow firing{{sound||Bow_Shooting_Old.ogg}}, arrow impacts{{sound||Arrow_Old.ogg}}, explosions{{sound||Explosion_Old.ogg}}, and water splashing{{sound||Water_Splash_Old.ogg}}, which have since been replaced. 
***The background noise also bears resemblance to a deeper version of the unused and removed [[Java_Edition_removed_features#Audio_loops|cave chimes]]{{sound||Cave_chimes.ogg}}. Before the explosion, there was also the sound of a creeper fuse{{sound||Creeper_fuse.ogg}} which is still used.
**C418 initially wanted the music disc to be found deep underground in a cave in-game, being played by some device.<ref>https://c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-alpha/</ref>
*Exclusively on {{el|lce}}, an extra track called "dog" is appended to the "cat" music disc. Once "cat" is done playing and fades out, "dog" begins playing for another two minutes or so, making this version of "cat" the longest music disc in the game.
* "chirp" uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the ''[[w:c:littlebigplanet:LittleBigPlanet (series)|LittleBigPlanet]]'' series.<ref>{{ytl|3Jnubcn2G-Y|Daniel Pemberton - The Orb Of Dreamers}}</ref> The samples come from the {{w|Optigan}} disc "Bossa Nova Style".<ref>{{ytl|G89vIy8Guj4|Optigan Program Disc: Bossa Nova Style|t=22}}</ref> C418 stated that it was coincidental.<ref>{{tweet|1=c418|2=314472205109043200|3=Remember when people thought I plagiarized LittleBigPlanet music? Yeah, the Optigan is a lovely instrument that I will never utilize again.|4=March 20, 2013}}</ref>
*The texture used for the music disc "chirp" was previously used for the [[camera]] tripod texture prior to [[Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha]].
*The title "stal" is a Swedish word meaning ''stole'' in English and a Polish word meaning ''steel''.
*The music disc "11" is the only visibly damaged music disc.
**If the .ogg file for "11" is turned into a {{w|spectrogram}} in an audio editor, the static at the end displays what seems to be [[Player|Steve]]'s face and the numbers 12418. The numbers are a visual signature, where "C" is hexadecimal for "12", and combined with "418" creates "[[Daniel Rosenfeld|C418]]", the name of the producer of all of the music disc tracks except for "Pigstep", "otherside", "5" and "Relic".
**Within the disc are sounds, in order of appearance, of stone{{sound||Stone_dig4.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig1.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig3.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig2.ogg}} and dirt or gravel{{sound||Gravel_dig1.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig4.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig3.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig2.ogg}}. At the time disc "11" was made, footstep sounds, placing sounds, and breaking sounds were the same for the respecive block. It is unknown exactly what the character was doing when these sounds were played.
** There is a track that is exclusive to the album ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta]]'' called "Eleven", which has the same length of 1:11 and begins with the same vinyl static sound before being abruptly interrupted by a record scratching sound and switching to a new, calm piano piece.
**C418 once imagined that the "monster" chasing the person in "11" is himself "being a weird monster that occasionally records songs from strangers and then dies in '11'".<ref>{{tweet|c418|119413441793495040|Yes! I now imagine C418 being a weird monster that occasionally records songs from strangers. And then dies in 11|September 29, 2011}}</ref> 
**"11" causes jukeboxes to output a redstone signal strength of 11.
**Before [[Java Edition 1.13]], the [[data value]] of "11" was 11.
**[[Brandon Pearce]] stated that the [[warden]] mob is based on the "monster" heard at the end of "11".<ref>{{ytl|pH_6-ZVOUAk|Ask Mojang #11: All About Caves & Cliffs|Minecraft|OCtober 30, 2020}}</ref>
*The music disc "wait", originally titled "where are we now", was finally added to [[Java Edition 1.4.3]] after existing solely in the game's files for an unspecified amount of time.
** "wait" used the original title "where are we now" in older versions of the Legacy Console Edition.
*"Pigstep" is the only disc to have its name capitalized in-game, and it can only be found in [[Bastion Remnant|bastion remnant]]s. It is also the music disc with the fastest beat.
* "Pigstep" is a {{w|portmanteau}} of "piglin" and "dubstep".<ref>{{tweet|kuraine|1277309336532840448|I don't have any cool insight on the title, it's just dubstep for piglins.|June 26, 2020}} </ref>
*“5” is the only music disc that is crafted, as it requires 9 disc fragments in a 3×3 formation to craft.
**In disc “5”, there are some sounds taken from [[Minecraft Dungeons]] of the [[MCD:Endersent|Endersent]] {{sound||D6 sfx mob endersentIdleVocal-001.ogg}}, the [[Minecraft Dungeons:Vengeful Heart of Ender|Vengeful Heart of Ender]]{{Sound||D6 sfx mob finalFormMagicChimes-004.ogg}}, and relating to an [[MCD:Enderman|enderman]] {{sound||Sfx_mob_eventEnderman2D-001.ogg}}.
*** Other sounds can be heard. In order of appearance, these are: flint and steel clicking {{sound||Flint_and_steel_click.ogg}}, a bat{{sound||Bat_idle4.ogg}}{{sound||Bat_takeoff.ogg}}{{sound||Bat_loop.ogg}}, lava bubbling{{sound||Lava.ogg}}, [[amethyst cluster]] breaking{{sound||Amethyst_Cluster_break1.ogg}}, a [[sculk shrieker]]{{sound||Sculk shrieker shriek1.ogg}}, stone{{sound||Stone_hit6.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_hit5.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_hit4.ogg}}, sand{{sound||Sand_hit1.ogg}}{{sound||Sand_hit5.ogg}}, a sculk shrieker{{sound||Sculk shrieker shriek1.ogg}} overlaying a warden{{sound||Warden_ambient1.ogg}}, [[sculk sensor]] clicking{{sound||Sculk Sensor sculk clicking2.ogg}}, and a [[warden]] roaring{{sound||Warden_roar5.ogg}}.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting

|showdescription=1

|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.
