Everything You Need to Know About the PIGLIN in Minecraft! (Guide)

The piglen is one of the brand new mobs in the new another update for minecraft now we got a chance to take a little look at these piglens way way back when minecon live happened but now we can actually play around with them ourselves inside of the newest snapshots now everything i am

Mentioning in this video is current as of snapshot 20w07a we are still in snapshots which if you don’t know are the development builds of minecraft before they get released to the wider public with an actual minecraft dot release and so everything can change everything might change in fact i have a feeling

That piglens will eventually get a civilization building type of air like they’ll get a village situation which currently they do not that is just a prediction i have so without further ado let’s jump into everything we know currently about the piglet so here we are inside of a minecraft and this is a

Little area i have set up to show off all the stuff about the piglet starting off where do they spawn well piglens spawn in this biome the crimson forest biome and they also will spawn in the nether wastes biome which is the biome that looks an awful lot like the

Original nether before we started getting all this fantastic new additions to the game so in these big red biomes that is where you are going to find piglens when they spawn sometimes they will have some weapons those two weapons include a crossbow like this one right

Here and a sword so we got a golden sword over here and uh often they will spawn with some type of golden armor so you could saw some boots over there maybe a helm that one doesn’t have any a helmet over here and some more boots pants right there

And i have also seen some chest plates around so they may spawn in with some golden armor as you can see everything to do with the piglen when it comes to armor and weapons is gold i guess technically the exception of the crossbow but who’s counting these

Piglens are gold obsessed they love gold they will fight for gold they will kill for gold here’s what they look like when they’re not moving all around oh they’re killing this hogland which we’re going to get to a little bit later uh doing a great job attack attack and

It looks like this hogland doesn’t have a chance wow that one just shot the other so this is what they look like when they’re not moving all around they got these uh pig faces tusks and ears and the little baby variety is just so adorable and so cute

Adorable now if you are in survival mode piglins are naturally hostile so you can see that they’re coming at me and they’re going to try to kill me unless if you wear any type and i have these boots here so i’m just going to put them here if you wear any

Type of golden armor why are you still why are you still after me my bro there you go now now he’s fine so any type of gold armor then they will be neutral to the player and will basically ignore the player now piglens will sometimes attack hoglands which we saw just earlier and

They will always try to attack wither skeletons let me just grab a wither skeleton and a piglen there we go we got one with a skeleton and one piglet except that they need a buddy so you can see right here they’re just chilling no big deal but the moment that

I set down another piglet that is when they go in to attack the wither skeleton for some reason if there’s just a single piglen then they will not attack but the moment that they have a raiding party with two of them then they will go in and start to attack a wither skeleton

And it goes without saying since you’ve already seen it well i guess it doesn’t go without saying because i’m saying it now but they will attack with both a crossbow or a sword and the little babies they are not armed and will not attack they are

Like passive mobs even if you have your gold piece of armor on piglen are very suspicious of the player and they will attack if you open a chest a trap chest a barrel a shulker or an ender chest so just show this off let’s just go ahead and open this barrel this

Guy gets mad and he comes over and attacks please stop it what about the shulker oh did that make you upset oh it did now one of my favorite things about piglins is that they love gold stuff and if you throw anything that is made out

Of gold on the ground they will pick it up consider it for a moment by holding it in their hands and then normally either equip it if it’s possible or just put it inside of their inventory if it isn’t possible so like uh well everybody here here he has uh he has some

Some gold shoes already let’s see if he’ll pick this one up did you get it oh my gosh he has the best ping out of all of them and you can see that he already has gold shoes on but he’ll just keep those anyway oh look this other guy got these pants

But they’ll also do stuff that’s like not it doesn’t even make sense so like i can throw down a hoe onto the ground and this guy who is currently equipping a sword will sometimes switch to a hoe no he didn’t do that let’s see if we can get that guy has a

Uh bow so let’s see if we can toss this to him go pick it up pick it up pick it up dang it the other guy did it why are you so slow okay let’s give them another one here you go hi yeah sir there you go pick that up consider

It did the other guy switch no okay what is he gonna do what are you gonna do what are you gonna do there he goes oh he dropped the crossbar on the ground and now he has the golden hoe in his inventory because gold is obviously better than a crossbow but you

Can do the same thing with like shovels pickaxes anything they go crazy for gold stuff picking it up considering it and then who knows what they’re going to do with that later will he switch from his golden ho no he likes his golden hoe if

It has gold in the name they will do this except for golden nuggets so golden nuggets wait did he do that for a golden nugget oh he picked up a golden nugget that’s in his inventory but if you do like golden horse armor golden carrots golden apples gold ore golden blocks

All this stuff they love it they pick it up they look at it look at them look at them go they’re going back for more golden apples yeah definitely and then the gold noir will go before it oh yes so they’re very distractible creatures they love the gold now you may be

Thinking uh okay all this gold well you haven’t done gold ingots yet well that is because that affects a new type of behavior that we’re gonna get to in just a moment now if a piglet happens to go into the overworld so obviously we’re no longer in the nether here you can see

That they have an animation very similar to when well if they’d stop moving you can see the animation a little bit better he’s very upset oh well there they go let’s see the animation stars shaking you can barely see him shake there you go it’s very similar to a zombie

That is changing from a zombie villager into a normal villager you’re kind of like upset about it but just given a few seconds maybe around 20 seconds then they will all switch from piglets into zombified pigmen or piglens and uh it’s real sad that they don’t even even

Oh so sad those particles are nausea particles that you’re seeing they uh will lose those after a little while so you can see already lost the nausea particles there and now they’re just zombified pigmen is that what they’re called now zombie pigmen zombie pigments another super interesting detail is that

Pigmen cannot swim well can the baby swim what the heck did he just jump up there yeah he just jumped up there so they don’t swim and they’ll stay at the bottom of the water there which makes a lot of sense because there is no water in the nether so they

Do this really weird like jumping thing where they like jump up to get out of the water as you can see that they’re switching uh to uh the pig uh the zombie pigman but i thought that’s such a cool little detail is yeah they can’t swim there’s no water

In the nether how they just sink they drown now pigmen are actually scared of a few things one of those things is a zombie pigmen so you can see that they are trying to move away from that zombie pigman he’s not actually attacking them or anything but oh look

At them look at them run they’re trying to get away he’s just wandering he’s not even going after them they just hate him so much the other thing that they are scared of is soul fire so here let me just uh drop down a few of these guys and then grab some soil

And we also grab a few other soul type of things and a flint and steel so these guys are just chilling right here and if i throw down a soulfire torch you can see that they run run run away put it right here they run run run away same thing

If here let’s find a big group of them if we were to throw down this uh this and then this they don’t like it they try to get away from it and then the same thing with the lanterns so if i was to throw it on a

Lantern not a big fan of lantern and they try to move away right here this guy’s trapped in between a pigmen and a soulfire lantern not really a big fan so soul fire not a big fan they try to get away from it and uh same thing with the

Zombified pigmen and before we move on to the bartering system it is very interesting to me that they will take damage to fire and lava so they are not immune there’s a few other creatures that are mostly the ghast and stuff that lava does not bother them but pigmen do

Not fall into pig limbs i should say do not fall into that category so now let’s move on to bartering and for this i’m going to get a whole bunch of golden ingots and i think i even had a space set up remember pikmin piglens love gold

So they will go after gold whenever they find it but specifically with golden ingots if they grab a golden ingot they will barter with you which means that they will throw out an item that they don’t want to you in uh you know just to get that gold so right

Here this guy immediately picked up that gold and then he threw a fire charge at me so we can put down another one he’ll get that he threw gravel at me his buddy over here he got it and he threw some a red mushroom

At me if you get a huge group of these guys together which it looks like they’re all gonna go crazy over here and you throw a whole bunch of gold on the ground they’ll obviously go crazy but they’ll kind of drop all the items just willy-nilly right there on the ground so

You can kind of create a a grinder of sorts if you have hoppers and you just throw gold in there but constantly throw these items on the ground and then you can gather them up which is really cool so these are the items i’ve gotten so far it looks like there’s still a

Pile of gold there on the ground these guys just keep going back to the pile to get more there we go so that pile has been used up we can kind of go through and pick up everything that they bartered with and take a quick look yeah

Looks good the reason i’m not spending a lot of time on all these items is because i have them all right here in front of you going from uh the sort of rarest to the least rare so we got the warped nilium uh you got some nether quartz obsidian

Glowstone dust your magma cream ender pearls the shroom light the fire charge you got gravel pork chop and leather warped fungus fungi uh fungi fun fungi fungi fungi same thing uh you got soul sand the mushroom types both of them flint you got your rotten flesh uh crimson fungi and or fungi and

Your nether brick so these are all the items that they will barter for which means a few things which is interesting is that your uh because gold can be um farmed in a way that you just get unlimited amounts especially if you make a pig man farm then you can you turn that

Renewable resource into any of these items so any of these items that felt unrenewable before like glowstone and glowstone dust quartz that sort of thing that is all now completely renewable because gold is completely renewable and finally when you kill a pigmen there’s a chance that they will drop their sword or

Whatever they’re holding that will increase with so their sword or their crossbow that’ll increase with looting they also will drop five experience points and that’s really it so whatever they’re holding in five experience points uh they will attack in a mob so just like with zombified pigmen

They will all sort of join in in the fight if there are other piglens around they want to join in and that about wraps it up for everything that we know about piglen’s at the moment like i mentioned at the beginning of the video it is my suspicion that

You will that these will have that piglens will have a better civilization in the future i just imagine with some of the behavior things like you you know opening up chests you don’t just naturally find chests other than inside of the nether fortresses or i didn’t i didn’t even really mention

This if you mine a block of gold near the piglens then they’ll freak out and try to attack you that makes me feel like and also piglets can open up doors so that all that information together makes me feel like there’s going to be some type of village made for these guys to

Live in and that’s why you won’t be able to mine up anything inside their village you won’t be able to open up chests inside their village because probably the village is going to have a whole bunch of gold and so i just have a feeling that that might

Happen it’s total speculation i have no idea once again this is a snapshot so everything that i mentioned could change in the future thanks so much for watching this episode of omgcraft if you enjoyed it please give this video a big ol thumbs up also make sure you
