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.
