Zombified Piglin restore anger loot
by litetex
Zombified Piglin restore anger loot brings back the original Zombified Piglin loot behaviour from 1.21 on Fabric servers.
What it does
Starting with 1.21.11, Zombified Piglins spawn holding spears, and a piglin with a spear that is hit by another attacking piglin retaliates, which causes infighting and lowers the overall effectiveness of gold farms. The mod forces Zombified Piglins to always spawn with swords instead, so that behaviour no longer applies. A gamerule added alongside the change controls the spawn setting.
Gold farms were significantly nerfed in 25w02a, and this mod restores the mechanic they depended on. Most gold farms use magma blocks anyway, and the mod leaves other gameplay aspects unaffected. Because a charged sword attack requires considerably more calculation than a normal sword attack, the swords used here are the simpler option for farm performance.
The mod needs Fabric API. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server runs it. It is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.3, and the latest file targets 26.3.
Key features
Original loot mechanic
Zombified Piglins drop loot the way they did in 1.21, which the mod restores on the server.
Sword spawns
Zombified Piglins always spawn with swords, avoiding the spear retaliation loop that reduces farm output.
Gamerule control
A gamerule governs the spawn change, so server owners can keep or revert the behaviour.
Other gameplay unchanged
Only the piglin spawn and loot behaviour is changed, with the rest of the game left as it was.
