I noticed a zombie piglin while I was working on a village yesterday. That’s weird, but whatever, I killed it and kept working. I turn around… there’s two more! After a day or so, I find a 4th. I killed another because he ended up stuck in a farm, but I left these two to see if more show up.
There was a nasty thunderstorm here recently, and I idle here overnight to farm dye for a project. Is it possible that four separate pigs randomly struck by lightning? There are no pens, and I never bred them, they’re just the chunk spawned ones randomly wandering around.
Is it possible for ruined portals to spawn complete? I know lightning and fire can both light one, perhaps there is a portal I’m not seeing that mobs wander into and load nether chunks long enough for a mob to come back out? I don’t see obsidian on the f3 chart, perhaps I’m doing it wrong because I also don’t see it when I place a block of it myself. They do seem to be coming from underground, but it’s possible they spawned on the surface and wandered down.
