Ever since the Nether Update, the Piglins have seen players sneaking in and having a peek in their chests – well, no more! With 1.16.2, we’re introducing the Piglin Brute – a Piglin so focused on guarding the Bastion Remnants' chests that even gold can’t distract them.
Features
Accessibility
Two new accessibility settings have been added to help with visual comfort.
- Distortion effects such as nausea and the Nether portal overlay can now be reduced

"minecraft:anvil", // existing syntax
