Piglin Hunt Fix
Improves Piglin hunting behavior while enhancing compatibility with crossbows from other mods.
🐗 Hunting trigger logic fix
Fixes an issue in vanilla behavior (observed in 1.20.1 Forge) where the mere presence of other adult Piglins could unintentionally prevent hunting from starting.
Now:
- Hunting is blocked only if nearby Piglins have recently hunted
- The presence of other adult Piglins alone no longer disables hunting
- Group behavior feels more natural
- Vanilla cooldown and pacing are preserved
✨ Glowing Hoglins trigger group aggression
When a Hoglin is glowing, it periodically alerts nearby Piglins and broadcasts a hunt.
Result:
- Piglins can join hunts mid-combat
- Group aggression is no longer limited to the initial trigger moment
- Glowing becomes a meaningful tactical state
- Players can intentionally trigger hunts using spectral arrows or other glowing sources
- Configurable through

🏹 Piglins use Spectral Arrows against Hoglins
When a Piglin attacks a Hoglin:
- Any normal arrow it fires is replaced with a Spectral Arrow
- Synergizes with the glowing aggression system
- Improves lore consistency, as Piglins provide spectral arrows through bartering
- Configurable through

🔧 Extended crossbow compatibility
Vanilla Piglins are limited to the vanilla crossbow for ranged attacks.
This mod:
- Extends Piglin weapon checks to support any item inheriting from
CrossbowItem
- Enables compatibility with crossbows from other mods
- Crossbows tagged with
piglinhuntfix:crossbow_piglin_do_not_use would not be used by piglin, which means Piglin will fall back to melee attack holding the items.
🌐 Server compatibility
- Can run as a server-side mod
- Client installation optional
