How to Turn Piglins into Neutral Mobs and Barter in Minecraft Nether

Players have been excited to be introduced to a number of new features with the latest Nether Update in Minecraft. Among the new arrivals are certain interesting mobs, including a humanoid race known as the Piglins.

Piglins are notably different from other mobs in the game. Namely, they are more of a “neutral mob”; that is, they are only aggressive towards the player in specific situations.

Piglins also have a penchant for gold and possess a well-developed bartering system that you can use to obtain some cool goodies. In this all-new guide, we will help you understand how to trade with Piglins and prevent them from going off on you.

Turning Piglins into Neutral Mobs

After you have come across a mob of Piglins, you will be able to wisely trade with them for some unique items, including those that are not available elsewhere. Of course, since you are dealing with an entirely new kind of mob, there are certain things you need to learn. And most importantly, certain warnings you need to keep in mind for your safety as well. Although Piglins share a good number of characteristics with the Villagers, they also possess their own special qualities as well.

• Remember that Pinglins are not usually friendly towards you. If they perceive you as a potential threat, they will attack. In order to avoid this, make sure you have at least one piece of golden armor equipped when you approach them. Avoid any suspicious or violent behavior around them, such as smashing containers, opening chests, or mining for gold. As long as you keep this attitude around them, they will hopefully act neutral towards you.
• Pinglins have a magpie-like tendency to inquisitively examine and collect all sorts of objects. They are particularly partial towards pork chops and gold nuggets. They collect these objects and squirrel them away in a hidden inventory of theirs. After killing a Pinglin, you might obtain items from their inventory except for the pork chops and gold nuggets.
• Similar to some other mobs in Minecraft, Pinglins can equip armor and items. They are not exactly the wisest when it comes to choices, though. Instead of paying attention to the quality and power of the item or armor, they simply prefer the ones made of gold.
• Coming back to Pinglins’ penchant for gold, although they are attracted to almost anything made of gold, they only use gold ingots when it comes to trading. No other golden object will substitute for that, not even gold nuggets. You will only receive items from Pinglins when you use gold ingots to deal with them.
