  • New Piglins Mob comes under the semi-neutral category of mobs. They do not attack players unless provoked by certain conditions.
  • The default behavior of Piglins is as hostile mobs, but if the player is wearing gold armor then they become aggressive towards Players. To be safe from piglins, the player should avoid wearing any armor made up of gold.
  • When piglins spawn, they are having crossbows and sword as their default weapon to attack.
  • They can also attack other mobs in the nether like wither skeleton and new mob Hoglins.
  • Piglins will drop arrows when they are holding or using crossbows.
  • Minecraft Piglins also have the ability to barter with Player.
  • To barter with Piglins player needs to throw gold item towards piglin and in return, piglins will throw some other valuable item towards the player. Many sources saying that piglin will barter only with gold ingot and not with any other gold items.
  • Minecraft Piglin mob can also spawn wearing gold armor.
  • Hoglins are also new mobs in the nether update. Previously they were named as “Piglin Beast”, but after community feedback, they are now renamed as Hoglins.
