A hoglin is a breedable hostile mob found in the Nether, and a source of porkchops and leather. Hoglins are repelled by warped fungi that is placed in the world as well as active nether portals and respawn anchors. It attacks by thrusting its tusks upward, which can also launch its target a short distance into the air.

Baby hoglins behave similarly, but have a much weaker attack (the weakest attack in the game) with normal knockback, and flee when hit.

Spawning

Hoglins are found in herds of 3–4 in crimson forests, respawning over time. They can spawn at any light level and on most solid blocks other than nether wart blocks and shroomlights.

Hoglins spawn in certain types of bastion remnants upon structure generation. They spawn frequently in the hoglin stable variant (specifically the large and small stables in the "lower" area, but never in the "upper" area with ramparts), and sometimes in the main "bridge entrance" at the upper half of the rampart in the bridge variant. Similar to the piglins and piglin brutes there, these hoglins never despawn.

20% of hoglins spawn as babies.

Hoglins need a 1×1×2 area to spawn.

Hoglins spawn on Peaceful difficulty, but are passive to players.

Drops

On death

Item		Roll Chance	Quantity (Roll Chance)
			Default	Looting I	Looting II	Looting III
	Raw Porkchop	100%	2–4	2–5	2–6	2–7
	Leather	100%	0–1	0–2	0–3	0–4

• 5XP‌ or 1–3XP‌ if killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Baby hoglins drop only experience when killed, at the same rate as adult hoglins. They are also the only baby animals that drop experience.

Behavior

Hoglins avoid being within 7 blocks of warped fungi (including in a flower pot), nether portals and respawn anchors. They naturally sink in water and eventually drown. They also sink in lava and are vulnerable to fire damage. Hoglins can be led with a lead even though they are hostile.

Hostility

Hoglins attack any player within 16 blocks with a reach of 1.9 blocks. An adult knocks its target upward. Players can still be flung even if they block with a shield. Hoglins do not attack a player standing near a block that repels them, but instead run away from the block unless they have already chosen to attack. If a player has a hoglin on a lead, then the hoglin will still attack the player if they get within its attack range, but will not actively pursue and attack the player leading them. Hoglins are 60% resistant to knockback. Unlike other hostile mobs, they do not prevent a player from sleeping.

Similar to piglins and zombified piglins, a player or mob attacking a hoglin provokes all nearby hoglins. Attacking a baby hoglin does not trigger this behavior.

If a piglin attacks a hoglin, all the hoglins in the area retaliate. Hoglins also flee if outnumbered and make retreating sounds. If the piglins are outnumbered by hoglins, they flee and make retreating sounds.

Piglins do not hunt hoglins that spawn upon generation of bastion remnants.

Like piglins, hoglins retaliate when attacked by a goat.

Baby hoglins

Baby hoglins also attack the player, dealing much less damage and normal knockback. If the player attacks a baby hoglin, it temporarily flees.

Baby piglins run near and ride baby hoglins. If there are more baby piglins than baby hoglins, the baby piglins occasionally jump on other baby piglins already riding a baby hoglin, with a maximum of 3 stacked on a single baby hoglin.

Zombification

A hoglin turning into a zoglin. Notice the hair is flattened down.

If a hoglin spawns in or moves to the Overworld or the End, it shakes and then transforms into a zoglin after 15 seconds. The newly-created zoglin gets Nausea I for 10 seconds. This Nausea effect is only decorative and has no effect on the zoglin's behavior.

Breeding

Hoglins can be bred with crimson fungi. It takes 5 minutes before the parents can be bred again, and it takes 20 minutes for baby hoglins to mature. Baby hoglins stay near their parents unless they see a player or get attacked, in which case they attack or run away. Feeding a crimson fungus to a baby hoglin reduces the remaining time for it to mature by 10%.

Hoglins cannot be bred when they are running away from warped fungi, respawn anchors or nether portals.

Feeding crimson fungi to a hoglin prevents it from despawning, no matter the breeding is successful or not. The baby hoglin produced by breeding does not despawn either.

Like the killer bunny,‌ the hoglin is a hostile mob that can be bred.

Sounds

Issues

Issues relating to "Hoglin" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

• The reason hoglins run away from warped fungi is because they dislike their smell. When asked if nether portals also smell bad to hoglins, Henrik responded saying that the reason hoglins run away from nether portals is because they find the sound annoying.
• Similar to the ravager originally being called "illager beast" before its official name was chosen by the community, the hoglin's name was also chosen by the community. Its initial placeholder name was "piglin beast".
• In Bedrock Edition, there are unused texture files named hoglin_meat_raw and hoglin_meat_cooked that are textured identically to raw and cooked beef, respectively.
• Henrik Kniberg released a video of a group of hoglins killing a piglin, then "celebrating" by bobbing their heads, then getting on their hind legs and dancing. This feature was never added into any snapshot and is not actually in Minecraft, although the reverse situation has a small chance to occur, in which piglins dance after killing a hoglin.
