How to find Piglin Brute
Bastion remnants only - a small number spawn in certain rooms when the structure generates, and never again. They are not renewable.
Spawn conditions: Only on bastion generation, in specific rooms of every bastion type. No babies, no respawns: clear a bastion and its brutes are gone forever.

How to kill Piglin Brute
Hits for up to 19 damage on Hard with its golden axe and ignores everything that works on piglins: no bartering, no gold distraction, no fear of zombified piglins or soul fire. Pillar up 3 blocks and hit its feet, or pour lava at range.
Behavior
Always hostile, attacks on sight within 16 blocks, calls nearby piglins and brutes to join. Unlike piglins it never wears gold armor, never barters, is not distracted by gold items and does not hunt hoglins. Attacks wither skeletons and withers too, but prefers players.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed, bred or bartered with. Kill or avoid.
