What Happens If a Pig Goes to the Nether?
If you’re a Minecraft player, you might have wondered what would happen if you were to take a pig to the Nether. Well, wonder no more! In this article, we’ll explore the world of Nether pigs and what happens when they’re transported to the fiery realm.
Direct Answer:
If a pig is killed in any way in the Nether, it should drop nothing and spawn a hostile Zombie Pigman where it died. This Zombie Pigman will attack you and aggro all the Pigmen in the vicinity.
Why Do Pigs Turn into Zombie Pigmen?
Pigs turn into Zombie Pigmen when lightning strikes within 4 blocks of a pig. If the pig is a piglet, it will transform into a baby Zombie Pigman.
How to Stop Nether Pigs from Spawning
Nether Pigs can be a nuisance, but you can try to stop them from spawning by:
- Placing half-slabs on every spot you don’t want them to spawn on
- Replacing Netherrack or Soul Sand with glass or any other transparent material
- Making sure everything is 1-block high
Why Are Piglins Killing Me?
Piglins will attack you if you:
- Attack them
- Destroy nearby Gold-related blocks (including Nether Gold Ore)
- Open or destroy nearby chests of any type
Do Gold Armor Trims Stop Piglins?
No, Gold armor trims are purely cosmetic and do not provide any buffs or protection against Piglins.
Why Are Piglins Mad at Me?
Piglins will become hostile and attack you if:
- You provoke them (by attacking, destroying Gold-related blocks, or opening chests)
- You’re nearby a Piglin (Piglins are generally hostile towards players)
How to Stop Piglins from Attacking Me
To avoid Piglins attacking you, follow these tips:
- Avoid destroying Gold-related blocks or opening chests nearby
- Don’t attack Piglins or their allies
- Keep a safe distance from Piglins, as they can become aggressive if provoked
Why Are Piglins and Zombie Pigmen Different?
Piglins and Zombie Pigmen have some key differences:
- Piglins are neutral mobs and will not attack you unless provoked
- Zombie Pigmen are hostile mobs and will attack you on sight
- Piglins can be traded with, while Zombie Pigmen cannot
Conclusion
So, there you have it! If a pig goes to the Nether, it will likely turn into a Zombie Pigman, which will attack you and any other Pigmen nearby. To avoid Piglin aggression, be sure to avoid destroying Gold-related blocks, opening chests, or attacking Piglins themselves. Happy crafting!
