Why do Piglin Brutes Disappear?
Piglin Brutes, one of the most formidable enemies in the Nether, often leave players wondering – why do they disappear? This article will shed light on the various reasons behind the disappearance of these fearsome creatures, saving you the trouble of trial and error.
How Piglin Brutes Despawn
Piglin Brutes despawn in Peaceful difficulty only. This means that if you’re playing in Peaceful mode, piglin brutes will immediately disappear when they enter a new biome or teleport, whereas in other difficulties, they will remain.
| Difficulty | Piglin Brutes Despawn |
|---|---|
| Peaceful | Yes |
| Normal/Hard | No |
Teleporting through Nether Portals
Piglin Brutes are prone to instant death when they exit a Nether Portal, immediately transforming into Zombified Piglins. This occurs in the Nether Wastes biome, Crimson Forest biome, Nether Portals, or when a piglin brave is struck by lightning.
| Portal Entry/Biome | Piglin Brutes Transformation |
|---|---|
| Nether Wastes | Zombified Piglin (5% chance of a baby Zombified Piglin) |
| Crimson Forest | Zombified Piglin (5% chance of a baby Zombified Piglin) |
| Nether Portal | Instant death → Zombified Piglin |
Other Reasons for Despawn
Piglin Brutes can also disppear due to the presence of certain items, gold armor, or a mix of factors. Key points to note are the following:
- Wearing a piece of golden armor stops Piglin Brutes from attacking
- Bartering with pigs or piglins requires a gold ingot for the piglin to focus on; otherwise, the encounter will be hostile.
- Lightning can instantly strike and transform a piglin brave into a Zombified Piglin
- Gold armor allows survival in the Nether’s lava, but the piglin brute itself disappears in this state
- Piglins or piglin brutes can occasionally leave behind a new gold ingot; an unexpected treasure!
