Overworld Piglins
by Serilum
Overworld Piglins lets Piglins, Piglin Brutes and Hoglins stay alive in the overworld instead of shaking and converting to zombie variants.
What it does
Normally these mobs begin shaking as soon as they are in the overworld and convert to zombified forms after a while. With the mod, they can walk and breathe there without converting. The conversion returns only when a weakness effect is applied to them, which causes shaking and then the usual change into the zombie variant.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it, and it needs Collective as a required dependency. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 26 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, with 26.3.0-1.7-fabric+forge+neo as the latest build for 26.3. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, while public links to the source and issue tracker exist.
Key features
Overworld survival
Piglins, Piglin Brutes and Hoglins remain alive in the overworld without shaking or converting.
Weakness triggers conversion
Applying the weakness effect makes the affected mobs shake and turn into their zombie variant.
Vanilla conversion kept
When weakness is applied, the mobs follow the same conversion path as in unmodified game behaviour.
Server-side behaviour
Changes take effect on the server, so clients need no installation to see the mobs in the overworld.

What the author says
Overworld Piglins makes the overworld habitable for Piglins and Hoglins. Usually they'd immediately start shaking, and after a while, convert to their zombie variant. Now they're allowed to walk and breathe in the overworld. Unless the weakness effect is applied. This causes the shaking effect and will convert them…
