This Minecraft tutorial explains all about piglin brutes with screenshots and step-by-step instructions. Let’s learn about piglin brutes in Minecraft.
Background
Piglin brutes are stronger versions of piglins that live in Bastion Remnants and protect the treasure that is found there. The following is a picture of what a piglin brute looks like in Minecraft:
A piglin brute is a hostile mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and piglin brutes. Because a piglin brute is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.
Health Points
In Minecraft, a piglin brute has 25 hearts for health. This gives a piglin brute 50 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a piglin brute, you need to inflict 50 points of damage to the piglin brute.
Where to Find Piglin Brutes
In Minecraft, you can find piglin brutes guarding treasure in the Bastion Remnant in the Nether.
If you haven’t been to the Nether, you need to build a nether portal to take you to the Nether. When you walk through a nether portal, it will transport you between the Overworld and the Nether. This is what a nether portal looks like:
If you are having trouble finding a piglin brute, you can summon a piglin brute using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
A piglin brute is armed is a golden axe.
Attack Method
In Minecraft, a piglin brute will move towards you and strike you with its golden axe.
Behavior
Piglin brutes are not afraid of anything.
They are not distracted by gold and can not be bartered with.
The only item that a piglin brute will pick up off the ground is a golden axe (or enchanted one).
They will attack players (even if the player is wearing a piece of golden armor).
Because piglin brutes are so tough, they do not wear armor (or need to pick up and equip armor items).
They can open wooden doors.
They do not attack hoglins.
Drops
When you kill a piglin brute in Minecraft, there is a small chance that the piglin brute may drop its golden axe.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a piglin brute, you will gain experience points but the amount of experience you gain depends on which Minecraft platform you are playing on. In Java Edition, a piglin brute will give you 20-23 experience points, but only 10 experience points in Bedrock Edition.
