Piglin Gold Trim Protection
by yod4mm
Piglin Gold Trim Protection changes how piglins react to players, so a character in gold-trimmed armor is ignored by them.
What it does
Piglins in the Nether stop treating a player as a target when the player wears armor with gold trim, and they stay calm for longer while that armor is worn. Trading with piglins and exploring the Nether become safer because sudden attacks are less likely. The mod changes only piglin aggression and leaves the rest of the vanilla mechanics alone.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Gold trim recognition
Armor with gold ornamentation counts as protection, so piglins do not attack the wearer.
Longer calm period
While gold-accented armor is worn, piglins remain peaceful for longer instead of turning hostile quickly.
Vanilla behavior kept
Only piglin aggression is modified, with no other changes to vanilla mechanics.
