Minecraft wiki entry for Combat, associated text: Piglins are hostile towards players if they are not wearing any gold armor, break nether gold ore or gilded blackstone, or opening/breaking chests or Minecart with Chest nearby them. They use golden swords like zombified piglins, sometimes they spawn holding a crossbow similar to how pillagers use, unlike zombified piglins, they sometimes spawn wearing Gold Armor, including enchants on both Swords and Armor. Most Piglins spawn in crimson forest biomes and inside generated structures of bastion remnant. Piglins do not drop anything except one of the items they hold or armor they wear. If the player gives a piglin a gold ingot, they will barter with the player similar to trading with villagers. Players must be aware of piglins while either exploring crimson forest biome or a bastion remnant structure, but as long they wear at least one piece of gold armor on any armor slot, piglins will remain neutral. If a piglin is in the Overworld, they will turn into a zombified piglin. Piglins stay further away from zombified piglins and are always hostile to wither skeletons and the wither.
