Hog and Pig in Overworld (Hoglin and Piglin in Overworld)
by NloobNeon_TH
Hog and Pig in Overworld lets piglins and hoglins spawn in Overworld biomes and keep their forms there instead of turning into zombified piglins or zoglins.
What it does
Piglins and hoglins can appear naturally in the Overworld, mostly at night and at low rarity, so an encounter stays uncommon rather than crowding out ordinary mobs. The mod's zombification immunity covers naturally spawned piglins and hoglins, so they remain in their original form and behavior after they enter the Overworld. The mod is built for Forge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
Hoglins also get a corrected shaking animation that is normally seen only in the Nether, so they look more at home in Overworld terrain. Installation needs nothing beyond Forge; no other mod is listed as a requirement. The project is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, published on 2026-01-08.
Key features
Overworld piglins and hoglins
Piglins and hoglins spawn naturally in Overworld biomes, bringing Nether residents into ordinary terrain.
Zombification immunity
Naturally spawned piglins and hoglins do not transform into zombified piglins or zoglins when exposed to the Overworld.
Rare night spawns
Spawn weights are set low so the mobs appear occasionally during the night, not in large groups.
Corrected shaking animation
Hoglins show a shaking animation that matches their Nether counterparts instead of a default look.

How it compares
No Zombification is a server-side mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt covering 1.21.5 – 26.3, licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0 only and not open source; it differs from this mod in loaders, versions and environment. Piglin companion is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 with a client and server environment, licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source, so it is the closer match on version and loader.
