Minecraft Piglin Bartering Guide: How to Trade with Piglins

Hostile and neutral mobs play an important role in Minecraft. They offer you a chance to participate in exciting combat battles, which yield precious drops. So,mob farmsare pretty important, but in a few very special cases, mobs do not need to be killed at all for you to receive a drop. The villagers are one good example. However, in this guide, we will take a look at piglins and their ability to“trade”with players. So, without further ado, let’s learn everything about the piglin bartering mechanics in Minecraft and see how you can trade with piglins in the Nether.

Where Can You Find Piglins in Minecraft

Piglins live in the Nether dimension. To visit this area, you need to gather someobsidianandmake a Nether portal in Minecraft. These mobs spawn in groups of 2-4 in the Crimson Forest and Nether Wastes biomes.

In addition, if a Bastion Remnant structure is generated in one of the other biomes, they will still be occupied with piglins, since they spawn with the structure. Sometimes, you’ll also come across baby piglins. They cannot grow up or attack the player but can be very annoying because they are not all that useful.

Moreover, make sure you have at leastone piece of gold armorbefore encountering these mobs. Thanks to their obsession with gold, they will get agroed and gang up on you if you don’t show them enough respect and gold. The same goes for opening and breaking container blocks, such aschests,ender chests, andshulker boxes, nearby.

What Do You Need to Barter with Piglins

To barter with piglins, you will need to carry gold ingots to the Nether. They won’t give you anything in return for gold nuggets, gold armor, or anything else gold-related. Gold ingots are a product from smelting raw gold or gold ores from the Overworld or Nether gold ore. They can also be crafted with nine gold nuggets.

Piglins will drop a certain item or multiple of the same item after you give them a single gold ingot. So, we suggest you firstmake a gold farmin Minecraft since bartering with piglins can be pretty expensive otherwise.

Furthermore, you cannot barter with piglin brutes or zombified piglins, even if they were converted in the Overworld or the End.

Set Up a Piglin Bartering Farm in Minecraft

Making a bartering farm is not overly complicated, but it can get frustrating. The point is to have gold ingots be dispensed to a piglin every 6 seconds (Java edition) or 8 seconds (Bedrock edition). This way, you’d be able to get as much loot as possible. Piglins should sit in a 1×1 walled up area, so they cannot escape and wander too far away from the dispenser.

Just by adding a simple collection system below the mobs, all the drops would end up safely in the chest. Also, make sure toname taga piglin, so they don’t despawn when you leave the area.

One module or space for one piglin in the bartering (or trading) farm should consist of a dispenser constantly dispensing the gold ingots, a holding chamber for the piglin to stand in, and a collection systemthat’s going to pick up the drops.

Dispensing the gold ingots can be manual, but we suggest you hook it up to a redstone clock such asa hopper clock, so you can go AFK and still get the loot.

You can set up as many of these modules as you want for even more precious drops. Moreover, try to mob-proof the surroundings, so the farm stays safe from any random ghast’s fireballs. You can even build the farm on the Nether roof, but you’ll first need to learnhow to break bedrock.

Now you’re ready to venture into the scary Nether and barter with those piggy-like mobs. Bartering mechanics are also extremely important, since some resources, such as gravel are only renewable in this way. So, if you are planning to create a long-term world, then setting up some kind of bartering farm is a must. Anyway, what do you think is the coolest drop from piglins? Tell us in the comments below!

Piglins won’t give you an item in case you offer them anything but gold ingots. Also, if a zombified piglin is near gold ingots on the ground, the piglin might get too scared to pick up the ingots. So, make sure there are no zombified piglins in the area.

No, piglins will not steal loot unless it’s a gold-related item on the ground.
