Zombie Piglan

Spawning

Does not spawn naturally. The player must create a piglan spawn egg using a combination of zombie pigman and zombie piglin DNA.

Obtaining Zombie Piglin and Zombie Pigman DNA

You must use a syringe on a zombie piglin or zombie pigman respectively, when using it there is a 3% chance of obtaining their DNA.

After obtaining both DNAs you must place each one next to a syringe in a brewing stand as follows:

Drops

On Death

Rotten Flesh: 0-1

Feather: 0-1

String: 0-1

Ruby Fragment or Gold Nugget: 0-1

Ruby, Taaffeite or Gold Ingot: 5% chance (when killed by a player or tamed wolf)

XP: 5 (when killed by a player or tamed wolf)

Equipment

Adults have an 8.5% chance of dropping each naturally held or worn piece of equipment. The dropped item has a random durability. Each level of Looting used to kill the zombie piglan increases the drop chance for each piece of equipment by 1%.

Weapons

A zombie piglan naturally spawns with either of these weapons:

• Ruby/Taaffeite/Golden Sword

• Crossbow

• Bow

Armor

Zombie Piglan sometimes ​spawn with 1-4 normal or enchanted pieces of armor, which may be:

• Ruby/Taaffeite/Golden Helmet

• Ruby/Taaffeite/GoldenChestplate

• Ruby/Taaffeite/Golden Leggings

• Ruby/Taaffeite/Golden Boots

Behavior

Zombie Piglans cannot swim and can drown if submerged. They are immune to fire.

Zombie Piglets

When a zombie piglets or baby zombie piglets is struck by lightning, it transforms into a zombie piglan or baby zombie piglan, respectively.

Curing

Giving a zombie piglan the Weakness effect and then feeding it a golden carrot starts the curing process. After five minutes, it transforms into a piglin, displaying purple Nausea status effect particles for 10 seconds after being cured. 

Aggravation

If a zombie pigman/zombie pigman/zombie piglin nearby gets angry he will defend them and vice versa.

If a piglan zombie is attacked by a player it will become very angry and then will be hostile towards all players for 5 minutes.

Bartering

Zombie piglan can barter taaffeite for certain items, when a taaffeite is dropped near them or the player uses it while looking at them. The zombie piglan "examines" the taaffeite for eight‌ seconds, then drops a random item from the chart. Zombie piglans can also pick up items dropped by a dispenser or dropper.

Picking up items

Zombie Piglans can pick up any items they come across, preferring taaffeite-related items, which they actively seek out.

Each zombie piglan has eight hidden inventory slots in which it can stack items. A zombie piglan with a full inventory does not attempt to pick up taaffeite-related items, except taaffeite.
