Release: 5 years ago

Ahh, a freshly baked snapshot! It undoubtedly smells better than the piglins that we just added...

Features in 20w07a

  • Endermen can now pick up some of the new Nether blocks
  • Endermen will no longer pick up Netherrack
  • Gave Hoglins some actual functionality
  • Added Piglins
  • Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon. Weird flex but ok.

Advancements

  • Piglins and hoglins are now required for Monster Hunter and Monsters Hunted

Hoglins

  • Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the nether
  • They attack players on sight, so be careful, they can easily knock you off a ledge!
  • Hoglins drop pork and sometimes leather, but not willingly
  • You can breed hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi, but do so at your own risk
  • Hoglins get hunted by piglins sometimes, but they don't go down without a fight!
  • Despite this, hoglins and piglin aren't enemies - they are more like an ecosystem
  • Baby hoglins like to pretend they are tough - but don't worry, they are more like angry puppies with no teeth
  • Want to keep hoglins off your back? Pro tip: Hoglins hate the smell of warped fungi!

Piglins

  • Piglins are an aggressive civilization that live in the nether
  • They mostly hang around in the crimson forest, but you might find some in the nether wastes too
  • They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
  • However if you dress appropriately they will see you as a respectable figure, or tolerable at least
  • Piglins are suspicious of strangers and if they see you opening a chest, or mining a block of gold, they will assume that you're stealing and will treat you accordingly
  • Piglins LOVE gold and get very distracted by gold items
  • Gold ingots are currency to piglins and you can throw ingots at them or right-click them with an ingot to barter for various goods
  • Piglins sometimes get hungry and hunt hoglins for food. Or they try at least. They results... vary.
  • Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups, and when a fight is happening everyone wants in
  • Piglins that somehow end up in the overworld become zombified fairly quickly
  • Piglins are creeped out by soul fire and zombified piglins, and will stay clear whenever possible
  • Wither skeletons are a historic enemy and piglins will attack on sight
  • Baby piglins are not as dangerous, but they can be mischievous so watch your back
  • ... and they like to play with baby hoglins
