Piglin Proliferation
Piglin Proliferation gives the vanilla Piglin variants their own traits and adds two new Piglin types to the Nether, each filling a specific gameplay role.
What it does
Zombified Piglins take on the gear and look of the Piglin they were before conversion, and each type has a matching zombified variant that can also spawn in the world. The default types are the sword or crossbow Piglin, the Piglin Brute, the new Piglin Alchemist and the new Piglin Traveler. The new Alchemists appear in several Nether biomes and Bastion structures.
Piglin Brutes carry a Buckler and use it in a charge attack that runs at high speed and bashes into the target for heavy damage and knockback. A Buckler can be obtained by defeating a Brute or raiding a Bastion chest. It allows a 0.75 second charge during which the holder cannot turn, jump or be knocked back, and it cannot be used in water. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.19 – 1.21.1 with 12 release versions, and the custom license does not make it open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Forge file 1.20.1-1.2.6 is the latest Forge build, and NeoForge file 2.0.16 covers 1.21.1.
