How to survive against piglins in Minecraft?

Piglins are one of the most dangerous creatures in Minecraft. Though they are neutral in nature, their neutral behaviour solely depends on what we, as players, do in the game. There are certain ways to keep piglins at bay and still progress. Every player needs to know these methods because if piglins get provoked, they can easily kill anyone in their path.

Here are some ways to avoid piglins or survive against them in Minecraft.

Wear gold armor parts

First and foremost, every player should enter the Nether realm with a piece of gold armor. This is because the moment players enter the hellish realm, they can encounter a piglin, which they cannot avoid without gold armor.

Piglins have a mysterious obsession and respect for gold. Hence, if they see players without any gold armor, they will automatically become hostile towards them. On the other side, if players are wearing even a single piece of gold armor, piglins will become neutral.

Hence, the first way to survive against piglins is to wear gold armor. Without it, piglins are bound to be angry with players.

Avoid opening chests

Another mysterious way in which piglins become hostile is if players open any kind of storage block near them. If players have piglins around, and they open any kind of chest, barrel, or shulker box, the mobs will instantly become hostile, regardless of any gold armor part. However, if piglins are offered a gold ingot for bartering in this case, they can become neutral for a few seconds.

Though this is understandable when players are looting a Bastion Remnant, piglins' home structure, even the stray piglins can become angry if players open their own chest.

Hence, players must always check for any piglins before opening a chest in the Nether.

Some new players might also get confused as to why piglins suddenly become hostile while they were mining in the Nether. This can most likely be because players accidentally mined a Nether gold ore. Since gold is so near and dear to piglins, they do not even allow players to get the previous material from ore blocks, whether it's from the Nether or from the Overworld, that are placed and broken.

Hence, players must always check around for piglins before breaking a gold ore of any kind. If they accidentally anger a piglin through this mistake, players can get away with it by offering piglins a gold ingot for bartering, which stops the mob from chasing for a few seconds.
