A zombie piglan is a neutral monster born from a DNA mixing experiment between a zombie piglin and a zombie pigman. It wields a ruby, gold, or taaffeite sword, or a crossbow.
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:
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
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.
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.
