Domestication

See Animal Husbandry for an overview of raising livestock.

• Piglets can be trapped with reed basket traps or by being chased into a fenced or 2-block-high enclosure.

• Pigs can be fed by throwing appropriate food on the ground or by placing it into a large trough . Once a sow is "Ready to mate" she will need to eat 10 portions before she can become pregnant. If a well-fed boar is nearby, the sow will soon become pregnant, with a gestation time of 25 days before giving birth to a litter of 2 to 6 piglets. After giving birth, the sow will be unable to breed again, until 6-11 days have passed.
• Piglets grow to adulthood after 168 hours, or 7 days.

• Starting at generation 1, the player can use to pet adult pigs. Piglets flee the player until generation 10, but the file says they're pettable starting at generation 0 (wild).
• Starting at generation 2, the player can use rope on pigs to get them to walk behind you.
• Starting at generation 3, the player can instantly kill pigs with a cleaver .
• Until generation 3, adult pigs attack the player if piglets are nearby.

Food

Pigs like to eat:

• Vegetables (except parsnips)
• Grain (except rice)
• Fruit mash
• Protein

Harvesting

• Adult pigs leave behind a medium carcass, while baby pigs leave a small carcass.
• Unharvested pig corpses decay into bones after 4 days.

History

• Prior to version 1.21, they were referred to in the game files as wild pig. For 1.21 they were recategorized, as "Eurasian hooved mammal", an indication that there will eventually be other types of pig.
• Prior to version 1.21, piglets' sex was undetermined. For 1.21 the block info overlay displays "baby-male" or "baby-female".
• They probably used to drop bones in the harvesting GUI but now the bones are left in a carcass on the ground.

Notes

• The display for amount of redmeat might be in error. Meanwhile, the data is at pig-adult.json
