Aggravation

Wither Skeleton Piglins are neutral if the player is wearing at least one piece of golden armor. Wither Skeleton Piglins are provoked by any player who:

• Is not wearing any piece of golden armor.

  • Short range, light aggravation

• Attacks a wither skeleton piggy or wither skeleton piglin, regardless if the player kills it in one hit or not.

  • Long range, heavy aggravation to the damaged wither skeleton piglin, medium aggravation to other wither skeleton piglins.

• Opens or breaks a chest, trapped chest, ender chest, shulker box, barrel, minecart with chest, or boat with chest.

  • Opening is short range, medium aggravation

  • Breaking is mid range, medium aggravation

• Breaks a block of gold, golden ore, bloodstone golden ore, nether golden ore, deepslate golden ore, and more.

  • Mid range, medium aggravation

Aggravation range

• Short range: When a skeleton piglin has been aggravated by a player not wearing golden armor, or opening a container, skeleton piglin from up to around 15 blocks centered around the player become aggravated by the player if there is a straight line of sight to the player.

• Mid range: When a skeleton piglin has been aggravated by a player breaking a golden block or a container, piglins from up to 16 blocks from the player’s feet become aggravated. No line of sight is required.

• Long range: When a wither skeleton piglin has been aggravated by a player damaging a wither skeleton piglin or wither skeleton piggy, wither skeleton piglins from up to 20 blocks from the damaged wither skeleton piglin (rather than the player) become aggravated. No line of sight is required.

Light aggravation

• Light aggravation occurs when a wither skeleton piglin has been aggravated by a player not wearing golden/gilded armor.

• The wither skeleton piglin can de-aggravate when the player puts on golden/gilded armor, or the wither skeleton piglin loses a line of sight with the player.

Medium aggravation

• Medium aggravation occurs when a wither skeleton piglin has been aggravated by a player opening/breaking a container or breaking a golden/gilded block, or when a wither skeleton piglin witnesses a wither skeleton pig or another skeleton piglin getting damaged by a player.

• Wither Skeleton Piglins under medium aggravation can be distracted with gold.

• A wither skeleton piglin already under light aggravation does not re-aggravate to medium aggravation. This means that if a wither skeleton piglin knows a player broke a golden block near them after already going after them due to them not wearing golden/gilded armor, the player can de-aggravate that wither skeleton by putting on golden/gilded armor or losing the line of sight despite the fact that the player broke the golden block.

Heavy aggravation

• Heavy aggravation occurs if a wither skeleton pig or wither skeleton piglin is damaged.

When provoked, wither skeleton piglins remain hostile for 25 seconds.
