About the mod

Piglin Names gives all piglins in the world a default or custom name to liven up the nether. While villagers have been getting named since 2019 via Villager Names, piglins have not gotten that same threatment. Until now! Default names are randomly chosen from a list of 5000+ names. It is also possible to add your own custom names, or combine the lists.

There are commands available to unname, name and rename loaded piglins.
