Minecraft Snapshot 20w07a

Ahh, a freshly baked snapshot! It undoubtedly smells better than the piglins that we just added...

Features in 20w07a

• Endermen can now pick up some of the new Nether blocks
• Endermen will no longer pick up Netherrack
• Gave Hoglins some actual functionality
• Added Piglins
• The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
• Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon. Weird flex but ok.

Advancements

• Piglins and Hoglins are now required for Monster Hunter and Monsters Hunted

Hoglins

• Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the Nether
• They attack players on sight, so be careful, they can easily knock you off a ledge!
• Hoglins drop pork and sometimes leather, but not willingly
• You can breed Hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi, but do so at your own risk
• Hoglins get hunted by Piglins sometimes, but they don’t go down without a fight!
• Despite this, Hoglins and Piglin aren’t enemies – they are more like an ecosystem
• Baby Hoglins like to pretend they are tough – but don’t worry, they are more like angry puppies with no teeth
• Want to keep Hoglins off your back? Pro tip: Hoglins hate the smell of warped fungi!

Piglins

• Piglins are an aggressive civilization that live in the Nether
• They mostly hang around in crimson forests, but you might find
  some in the Nether wastes too
• They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
• However, if you dress appropriately they will see you as a respectable figure, or tolerable at least
• Piglins are suspicious of strangers and if they see you opening a chest, or mining a block of gold,
  they will assume that you’re stealing and will treat you accordingly
• Piglins LOVE gold and get very distracted by gold items
• Gold ingots are currency to Piglins and you can throw ingots at them or right-click them with an
  ingot to barter for various goods
• Piglins sometimes get hungry and hunt Hoglins for food. Or they try at least. They results… vary.
• Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups, and when a fight is happening everyone wants in
• Piglins that somehow end up in the overworld become zombified fairly quickly
• Piglins are creeped out by soul fire and zombified Piglins, and will stay clear whenever possible
• Wither skeletons are a historic enemy and Piglins will attack on sight
• Baby Piglins are not as dangerous, but they can be mischievous so watch your back
• … and they like to play with baby Hoglins
