Unlike zombies and skeletons, they do not burn if they are exposed to sunlight, and they will attack the player if provoked!

These mobs used to be called ‘Zombie Pigmen’ before the Nether Update, so naturally there was some confusion.

Piglins are semi-friendly mob that can be found lingering throughout the Nether region.

COME PREPARED: If you stumble across a Piglin unequipped you’ll be in for a nasty surprise!

If the player is wearing any gold armor, the Piglin will not behave aggressively or attack.

This could be because they wield gold-plated weapons of their own, and if they are not angered by the encounter, they will trade with the player for gold.

Piglins will also attack one of the most essential life sources in Nether; hoglins, so you’ll have to compete for them!

Finally, Piglins are afraid of anything related to soul fire.

Location

Piglins and Zombidied Piglins are found in one place in particular, and that’s the crimson forest.
