Minecraft wiki entry for Piglin_Brute, associated text: "It's 100% not useless! You don't want to come to a Bastion without gold armor, even if the Brutes will attack you without it they are less common in the Bastions than normal Piglins. The idea is to try to avoid or maneuver around the Brutes." – @kingbdogz on Twitter, June 26, 2020
