Hoglins are breedable hostile mobs found in the Nether, and a source of porkchops and leather. Hoglins are repelled by warped fungi that is placed in the world as well as active Nether portals and respawn anchors. They attack by thrusting their tusks upward, which can also launch their target a short distance into the air.

Baby hoglins behave similarly, but have a much weaker attack with normal knockback, and flee when hit.

Spawning

Hoglins are found in herds of 3–4 in crimson forests, respawning over time. They can spawn at any light level and on most solid blocks other than Nether wart blocks and shroomlights.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Hoglins spawn in certain types of bastion remnants upon structure generation. They spawn frequently in the hoglin stable variant (specifically the large and small stables in the "lower" area, but never in the "upper" area with ramparts), and sometimes in the main "bridge entrance" at the upper half of the rampart in the bridge variant. Similar to the piglins and piglin brutes there, these hoglins never despawn.

20%‌^{[Java Edition only]}/5%‌^{[BE only]} of hoglins spawn as babies.

Hoglins need at least a 1×1×1.5 area to spawn. While adult hoglins will spawn inside a top slab if there is enough room, they will not pathfind unless they have more space above them. Adult hoglins will pathfind if they are in a top trapdoor, however.

In Java Edition, hoglins despawn on Peaceful like other hostile mobs.

• 5XP if killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Baby hoglins drop only experience when killed, at the same rate as adult hoglins. They are also the only baby animals that drop experience.

Behavior

Hoglins avoid being within 7 blocks of warped fungi (including in a flower pot), Nether portals and respawn anchors. They naturally sink in water and eventually drown.^[1] They also sink in lava and are vulnerable to fire damage.^[2] Hoglins can be led with a lead even though they are hostile. While lead, they do not attack the player.

Hostility

Hoglins attack any player within 16 blocks with a reach of 1.9 blocks. An adult knocks its target upward‌^{[JE only][3]}. Players can still be flung even if they block with a shield. Hoglins do not attack a player standing near a block that repels them, but instead run away from the block unless they have already chosen to attack. If a player has a hoglin on a lead, then the hoglin still attacks players who get within its attack range, but does not actively pursue and attack the player leading it.‌^{[JE only]} Hoglins are 60% resistant to knockback. Unlike other hostile mobs, they do not prevent a player from sleeping.

Similar to piglins and zombified piglins, a player or mob attacking a hoglin provokes all nearby hoglins. Attacking a baby hoglin does not trigger this behavior.

If a piglin attacks a hoglin, all the hoglins in the area retaliate. Hoglins also flee if outnumbered and make retreating sounds. If the piglins are outnumbered by hoglins, they flee and make retreating sounds.

Piglins do not hunt hoglins that spawn upon generation of bastion remnants.

Like piglins, hoglins retaliate when attacked by a goat‌^{[JE only][4]}.

Despite being monsters, golden dandelions can stop baby hoglins from growing up into adults.

Baby hoglins

Baby hoglins also attack the player, dealing much less damage and normal knockback. If the player attacks a baby hoglin, it temporarily flees.

Baby piglins run near and ride baby hoglins. If there are more baby piglins than baby hoglins, the baby piglins occasionally jump on other baby piglins already riding a baby hoglin, with a maximum of 3 stacked on a single baby hoglin.

Zombification

If a hoglin spawns in or moves to the Overworld or the End, it shakes and then transforms into a zoglin after 15 seconds. If the world is in Peaceful difficulty, the zoglin disappears instantly. If not, the newly-created zoglin gets Nausea I for 10 seconds‌^{[JE only][5]}. This Nausea effect is only decorative and has no effect on the zoglin's behavior.

In Bedrock Edition, if a hoglin is spawned using the stop_zombification_event event, they are completely immune to zombification, but are totally passive to the player.

Breeding

Hoglins can be bred with crimson fungi. It takes 5 minutes before the parents can be bred again, and it takes 20 minutes for baby hoglins to mature. Baby hoglins stay near their parents unless they see a player or get attacked, in which case they attack or run away. Feeding a crimson fungus to a baby hoglin reduces the remaining time for it to mature by 10%.

Hoglins cannot be bred when they are running away from warped fungi, respawn anchors, or Nether portals.

Feeding crimson fungi to a hoglin prevents it from despawning, whether the breeding is successful or not. The baby hoglin produced by breeding does not despawn either.

Feeding a baby hoglin a golden dandelion will freeze their growth. If used again it will then take them 24000 ticks (20 minutes) to grow up.

Like the killer bunny,‌^{[JE only]} the hoglin is one of the only hostile mobs that can be bred.

Trivia

• Hoglins run away from warped fungi because they dislike their smell.^[12] When asked if Nether portals also smell bad to hoglins, Henrik responded that hoglins are annoyed by the sounds Nether portals make.^[13]
• Similar to the ravager originally being called "illager beast" before its official name was chosen by the community, the hoglin's name was also chosen by the community. Its initial placeholder name was "piglin beast".
• In Bedrock Edition, there are unused texture files named hoglin_meat_raw and hoglin_meat_cooked that are textured identically to raw and cooked beef, respectively.
• Henrik Kniberg released a video^[14] of a group of hoglins killing a piglin, then "celebrating" by bobbing their heads, then getting on their hind legs and dancing. This feature was never added into any snapshot and is not actually in Minecraft, although the reverse situation has a small chance to occur, in which piglins dance after killing a hoglin.
• The hair and body texture of the hoglin do not line up, as the body was inflated to avoid Z-fighting.
