Minecraft:Piglin Brute

Template:Needs render Template:Infobox entity A piglin brute is a Minecraft:hostile and stronger variant of the Minecraft:piglin. It wields a golden axe and appears in all types of Minecraft:bastion remnants. Unlike piglins, piglin brutes do not barter, retreat, or get distracted by Minecraft:gold.

Spawning

A small number of piglin brutes spawn in some rooms of Minecraft:bastion remnants only upon generation, so they are not renewable. They do not have a baby variant.

Piglin brutes spawn with a golden axe, occasionally with enchantmentsTemplate:Only. They never spawn with Minecraft:armor and do not equip armor from the ground, although they can still be equipped with armor via dispensers or commands.

Drops

A piglin brute has 8.5% chance of dropping a Template:ItemLink with a random Minecraft:durability if killed by a player or a tamed Minecraft:wolf, increased by 1% with each level of Minecraft:Looting, with a total 11.5% chance with Looting III.

A piglin brute drops Template:Xp Minecraft:experience points when killed by a Minecraft:player or a tamed Minecraft:wolf.

Behavior

File:Piglin Brute Attack Mode.png

Piglin brutes attack Minecraft:players, Minecraft:wither skeletons, and Minecraft:withers within 16 blocks and are not distracted by golden Minecraft:items or Minecraft:blocks. However, they prefer to attack players over wither skeletons and withers. They also attack any mob, including Minecraft:goats,<ref>Template:Bug</ref> that attacks any piglin or piglin brute, either by accident or purposefully. Examples include retaliation for attacks by Minecraft:snow golems and Minecraft:iron golems.

Piglin brutes, much like Minecraft:vindicators, deal a high amount of raw melee damage, inflicting Template:Hp points of damage on Hard difficulty. The only stronger mobs are the Minecraft:iron golem, which deals up to Template:Hp melee damage, the Minecraft:warden, which deals up to Template:Hp melee damage and the unused Minecraft:giant, which deals up to Template:Hp melee damage.

Piglin brutes spawn in all Minecraft:difficulty settings. In Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty, piglin brutes despawn.

The detection range of piglin brutes is reduced to half of their normal range (8 blocks) when the player is wearing a piglin Minecraft:head.

Behaviors shared by both Minecraft:piglins and piglin brutes:

• Can open wooden and Minecraft:copper doors.
• Call nearby piglins and other piglin brutes once attacked by a mob or a player, no matter whether the player wears golden armor or not.
• Are not naturally immune to Minecraft:fire or Minecraft:lava.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
• Join in hunts.Template:Only
• Turns into a Minecraft:zombified piglin when in the Overworld or the End for more than 15 seconds.
• Attack nearby withers and wither skeletons.

Behaviors specific to piglin brutes:

• Piglin brutes attack players on sight, no matter whether the player wears golden armor or not.
• Piglin brutes do not retreat from Minecraft:soul fire items, Minecraft:zoglins, or Minecraft:zombified piglins.
• Piglin brutes do not perform a "victory dance".
• Piglin brutes do not barter, as the player cannot use a gold ingot on them.
• Piglin brutes pick up regular or Minecraft:enchanted golden axes only if walking over them. Unlike Minecraft:piglins, piglin brutes ignore all other golden items or gold ingots, meaning they cannot equip armor. However, they can still be equipped via Minecraft:dispensers or Minecraft:commands.
• They do not have a baby variant. This also means they cannot ride hoglins.
• They cannot use crossbows.
• They attempt to return to their spawn point (regardless of how they were spawned) when not engaged in combat.
• They do not join hunts and do not attack hoglins.Template:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Zombification

When in the Minecraft:Overworld or Minecraft:the End, piglin brutes transform into Minecraft:zombified piglins after 15 seconds. Upon transformation, the spawned zombified piglin has the Minecraft:Nausea effect for 10 secondsTemplate:Only<ref>This does not happen in Bedrock Edition due to Template:Bug.</ref>. This Nausea effect is purely cosmetic. When turned into a zombified piglin, a piglin brute keeps its axe.

Piglin brutes summoned in the Overworld with no AI do not zombify and do not pick up items.

History

Trivia

• Piglin brutes were hinted to not have good eyesight.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• Piglin brutes were created late in Minecraft:1.16's development, so they were pushed to a minor release as the developers did not want to add a new feature so close to release.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• The golden arm guard is meant to work as a "protection" and is the reason behind their high health.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• Sounds that are used by the piglins are lower-pitched when used by the piglin brute (like the converted_to_zombified sound).
• Piglin brutes were made to trigger normal piglins when attacked, as to encourage players to avoid or maneuver around them.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
