How to Beat Piglins

Eliminate One Piglin at a Time

It is highly recommended to take down Piglins when they aren't bundled together. Otherwise, one will sense your hostility towards a Piglin and will attack you as a group.

To prevent being cornered and ganged up on by Piglins, wait for them to be far from each other so you can take them down one at a time.

Prioritize Ranged Piglins

When dealing with multiple Piglins, it is highly recommended to take down the Piglins holding Crossbows immediately, as they can attack you from afar as you deal with the other Piglins.

Make this a priority in order to lessen further damage from the mob.

Piglin Behavior

How to Keep Piglins from Attacking

Piglin Passive Conditions
Wear Golden Armor Don't Open Nearby Chests Don't Mine Gold Blocks and Gold Ores

Wear Golden Armor

Piglins are hostile when using Golden weapons!

In order for Piglins to be passive towards a player, it is required to equip at least one Golden armor.

Otherwise, the Piglins will target you and taking them down will be the only way to stop them.

Don't Open Nearby Chests

Opening chests with a Piglin nearby will automatically turn it hostile, even if the player is wearing Golden armor.

When in the Nether, always check your surroundings for any Piglins when opening chests to prevent being attacked!

Don't Mine Gold Blocks and Gold Ores

They won't care about your Golden armor if you mine Gold!

Piglins have a fascination with gold. That said, avoid mining Gold blocks and Gold Ores while Piglins are around if you don't want to be attacked.

Barter Using Gold Ingots

When passive towards a player, they can show Piglins Gold Ingots to start a barter. By doing this, Players are allowed to exchange item with Piglins.

Baby Piglin Behavior

Unlike its adult counterpart, baby Piglins are passive mobs even after being attacked.

When attacked, the baby Piglin will run away and keep its distance from the player.
