Redstone Pigman

Redstone Pigmen are neutral mobs that spawn in the. They do not serve as a base for any Collections, but they drop Gold Nuggets.

Behavior
Redstone Pigmen are neutral as long as players don't attack them or have less than in their inventory. If one player attacks the Pigman or has more than one stack of Redstone in their inventory around a Redstone Pigman, they will become aggressive to all players around. This effect will notify you when you get a message in chat informing you that the pigmen are angry at you for taking their redstone, as well as displaying fire particles around them. Provoking a single Redstone Pigman will also provoke all others around, causing them to attack the aggressor. They deal on hit.
