A pigman is a pig in a humanoid form that originally were going to inhabit villages. Although not implemented, their skin can be found within the game files, and their zombified counterpart, Zombie Pigman, now known as zombified piglins, have been part of the Nether since the Minecraft Alpha 1.2.0 Halloween Update. It has the same dimensions as a player, and has no coding present within the game that spawns it.
History[]
Minecraft user Miclee made up the idea for pigmen. He was given the bacon cape as a reward. However, when Notch was asked for personal capes by other users, the bacon cape was taken away from Miclee to prevent further commotion.
Notch mentioned April 25, 2011 that he might add pigmen as villages' townspeople.[1] In Beta 1.9 Pre-releases, a different villager mob was introduced. Regular pig models were changed in Beta 1.8 to have a protruding snout. Whether this will be applied to Pigmen in the future is unknown, although possibly unlikely due to the fact stated above of sharing the same shape as other entities.
Oh,ok,Pigmen!
