Piglin brutes are hostile mobs that spawn with bastion remnants upon generation. When killed by a player or a tamed wolf, they will drop 20 experience and have a small chance to drop their axe.

Like piglins, piglin brutes are hostile towards wither skeletons and withers, are not immune to fire and lava damage, and zombify if they are moved to the Overworld or the End. If a player hits a piglin brute, it will aggravate all nearby piglins and piglin brutes, regardless of whether the player was wearing gold armor or not.

Unlike piglins, piglin brutes cannot barter, will not be distracted by gold, and do not retreat. They will always be hostile towards players, regardless of whether the player was wearing gold armor or not.

Nether Fortress

Lava well room

Staircase with nether wart

Nether fortresses are large, sprawling structures found in the Nether, and are the only source of blazes, wither skeletons, and potion brewing supplies.

Nether fortresses have two distinct parts, an exterior area of open bridges and an interior area of enclosed corridors. The lava well room is the transition between the interior and exterior areas. Fortress staircases have nether wart growing on patches of soul sand on either side of them. The turns in the interior corridors have a chance of generating with a loot chest, and the exterior bridges can lead to blaze spawners.

Blazes, wither skeletons, zombified piglins, magma cubes, and skeletons can all spawn naturally in nether fortresses, regardless of the biome the fortress generated in.

The most common items in nether fortress chests are gold ingots, saddles, and gold horse armor. Slightly rarer items are nether wart, iron ingots, diamonds, flint and steel, iron horse armor, golden swords, and golden chestplates, and the rarest items are diamond horse armor, obsidian, and the Rib armor trim.

Wither Skeleton

Hostile Mob

Health Points: 20

Attack Strength: Easy: 5

                              Normal: 8

                              Hard: 12

Wither skeletons are hostile mobs that spawn in Nether fortresses. On Bedrock Edition, the wither spawns 3-4 wither skeletons when it is below half health. In Java Edition on Halloween, wither skeletons have a chance of spawning wearing either a carved pumpkin (22.5%) or a jack-o-lantern (2.5%), which won't be dropped if they are killed. When killed they will drop 0-1 coal, 0-2 bones, and if they were killed by the player, they have a 2.5% chance to drop a wither skeleton skull. If they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf, they will drop 5 experience, plus an additional 1-3 experience if they didn't drop their sword. A wither skeleton will always drop a wither skeleton skull if it is killed by a charged creeper.

Wither skeletons are hostile toward players, snow golems, iron golems, baby turtles, piglins, and piglin brutes. They will flee from wolves, but if they are hit by them they will retaliate. A mob or player that is damaged by a wither skeleton will also be inflicted with the Wither effect for 10 seconds, which will cause one point of damage every two seconds, similar to the Poison effect. However, unlike Poison, which will only ever drain the health bar down to one point of health, the Wither effect can bring it down to zero and cause death. Wither skeletons are immune to fire, lava, and the Wither effect.

Blaze

Hostile Mob

Health Points: 20

Attack Strength: Ranged: 5

                              Melee: Easy: 4

                                           Normal: 6

                                           Hard: 9

Blazes are hostile mobs that spawn in Nether fortresses, naturally and from blaze spawners. If they were killed by a player, blazes have a chance to drop one blaze rod, and they will also drop 10 experience if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf.

Blazes are immune to fire and lava damage, and are damaged by snowballs, water, rain, and splash water bottles. They also take extra damage from powder snow.

Blazes attack the player by shooting a salvo of fireballs at them from a distance of up to 48 blocks (Java Edition) or 16 blocks (Bedrock Edition). When a blaze notices a player it will rise into the air and charge up its attack for 3 seconds, which will give it the appearance of being on fire. After charging it will fire a salvo of three fireballs at them, and then wait 5 seconds before attacking again. A blaze's fireballs deal damage upon impact, and also set the target on fire for a short time. If they hit the top surface of a block they will start a fire there. Blazes can also perform a melee attack if they touch their target.

Magma cubes are hostile mobs that spawn in basalt deltas, nether wastes, and nether fortresses. A magma cube spawner also generates in every treasure room bastion. Magma cubes can spawn in any light level. When killed, small magma cubes have a 25% chance to drop 1 magma cream, while medium and large magma cubes have a 57.14% chance. In addition, if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf, large magma cubes will drop 4 experience, medium magma cubes will drop 2 experience, and small magma cubes will drop 1 experience. A small magma cube will also drop a pearlescent froglight when killed by a warm frog, a verdant froglight when killed by a cold frog, or an ochre froglight when killed by a temperate frog.

Magma cubes behave like slimes, moving around by jumping, except they jump higher and less frequently. Larger magma cubes will have a higher jump. They will attack players and iron golems. Magma cubes come in three different sizes: Big, medium, and small. When a magma cube is killed, it will break down into 2-4 magma cubes of the next smallest size (unless the magma cube is already at its smallest size). Magma cubes are immune to fall damage and fire damage, and take extra damage from powder snow.

Hoglin

Hostile Mob

Passive Mob (Peaceful Difficulty)

Health Points: 40

Attack Strength: Adult: Easy: 2.5-5

                                         Normal: 3-8

                                         Hard: 4.5-12

                             Baby: Easy & Normal: 0.5

                                        Hard: 0.75

Hoglins are hostile mobs that spawn in crimson forests and hoglin stables bastions in the Nether. 20% of hoglins spawn as babies. When killed, they will drop 2-4 raw porkchops (cooked porkchops if they died while on fire), 0-1 leather, and 5 experience (Java Edition) or 1-3 experience (Bedrock Edition) if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf. Baby hoglins only drop experience.

Hoglins will flee from warped fungus, nether portals, and respawn anchors, and are vulnerable to fire damage. When they attack a mob or player, hoglins deal a large amount of damage and knockback and fling the target up into the air several blocks. The knockback is still dealt even if the target is blocking with a shield. Baby hoglins deal a very small amount of damage and regular knockback, and will flee briefly when damaged. Hoglins are 60% resistant to knockback.

Baby piglins will play with baby hoglins by riding them. Up to three baby piglins can stack on top of each other while riding a baby hoglin. If a hoglin is moved to the Overworld or the End, it will shake and transform into a zoglin after 15 seconds.

Large groups of piglins will occasionally hunt hoglins. If the hoglins are outnumbered, they will retreat. If the piglins are outnumbered, they will retreat.

If two hoglins are fed warped fungi by the player, they will enter love mode and breed, and the player will be rewarded with 1-7 experience. Those hoglins will then not be able to enter love mode again for 5 minutes. It will take 20 minutes for the baby hoglin to grow into an adult. The growth process can also be sped up by feeding the baby hoglin warped fungi.

Hoglin Variants

If a hoglin is transported to the Overworld or the End, it will turn into an undead mob called the zoglin after 15 seconds. Zoglins have the same stats as hoglins, but have some different behaviors. Zoglins are hostile toward everything, the only exceptions being creepers and ghasts. They will also attack armor stands on Java Edition, and piglins will flee from them. Unlike hoglins, zoglins cannot be bred, and baby zoglins will never grow up. Zoglins are immune to fire damage, and when killed they will drop 1-3 rotten flesh, and 5 experience (Java Edition) or 1-3 experience (Bedrock Edition) if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf.

Zombified Piglin

Neutral Mob

Health Points: 20

                             Hard: 12

Zombified piglins are neutral mobs that spawn in the Nether in nether wastes, crimson forests, and Nether fortresses. They can also spawn riding a strider, and baby zombified piglins have a chance to spawn as a chicken jockey. They have a small chance of spawning near a lit Nether portal in the Overworld, and if a piglin or piglin brute is moved to the Overworld or the End, it will turn into a zombified piglin after 15 seconds. If lightning strikes within four blocks of a pig in the Overworld, it will be transformed into a zombified piglin. In Java Edition on Halloween, zombified piglins have a chance of spawning wearing either a carved pumpkin (22.5%) or a jack-o-lantern (2.5%), which won't be dropped if they are killed.

When killed, a zombified piglin will drop 0-1 rotten flesh, 0-1 gold nuggets, and has a 2.5% chance of dropping a gold ingot. There is also an 8.5% (Java Edition) or 25% (Bedrock Edition) chance of them dropping their weapon (a gold sword if naturally spawned, a crossbow if zombified from a crossbow-wielding piglin, a gold axe if zombified from a piglin brute, or a warped fungus on a stick if they spawned riding a strider). A zombified piglin will drop 5 (adult) or 12 (baby) experience when killed by a player or a tamed wolf, or if they die while in a hostile state. An additional 1-3 experience is dropped if they do not drop their gold sword.

Zombified piglins are undead mobs, and are immune to fire and lava. They avoid walking on magma blocks, and target turtle eggs that have at least two blocks of air above them. They destroy the eggs by walking over to them and jumping on them.

When a zombified piglin is damaged by a player or mob, whether purposefully or accidentally, all the zombified piglins in the area become aggressive. They will become neutral again if the target is killed, or if they cannot see the target for between 20 and 60 seconds. They are not naturally hostile toward any mob, but will retaliate if attacked. Piglins, villagers, and wandering traders will flee from zombified piglins, and iron golems are hostile toward zombified piglins.
