How to kill Zombified Piglin
Drops rotten flesh and gold nuggets, rarely a gold ingot - it is the engine of every gold farm. But hit one and every zombified piglin in a huge area turns on you.
Behavior
Neutral until provoked: attack one and all zombified piglins within 67-111 blocks (20 in Bedrock) converge, and they keep sounding the alarm every 4-6 seconds. They forgive after 20-55 seconds out of sight and range (25 s in Bedrock) - but the timer pauses in unloaded chunks, so portal-hopping does not calm them. They pursue even invisible players, walk on lava floors with striders around, and are immune to fire and lava.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed or bred. Farm them instead: gold farms exploit their pack spawning on nether roof or over lava oceans.
