Pigmen Begone & Jailed
by dtrw
Pigmen Begone & Jailed stops zombified piglins from spawning inside nether portal frames, a case vanilla sometimes allows.
What it does
Vanilla occasionally places a piglin inside a nether portal frame, which can leave a zombified piglin standing in the portal. This Fabric mod prevents that spawn, so portals stay clear when a player travels between dimensions. It runs on the server alone: players join without installing anything. Files are published for 26.2, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and open source, with source code and an issue tracker available.
