Would the pigman be aggressive at me?



Best Answer

The pigmen will be hostile

This is covered on the wiki article on Zombie Pigmen, under Hostility

  • Pushing a zombie pigman off a cliff or otherwise causing environmental damage to them will not make them hostile.

    • However, damaging zombie pigmen with TNT ignited with flint and steel or flaming arrows will make them hostile, because these count as player-induced damage.
    • Similarly, damaging zombie pigmen with a redirected ghast fireball will make them hostile.

However, killing a zombie pigman in one hit does not cause the other pigmen to be hostile. On hard difficulty, a Ghast fireball does a maximum of 25 damage, which is enough to one-hot a pigman with its 20 hp and 2 armor (25*(1-2*0.04)=23>20). The article does not state whether this would affect the hostility of the other pigmen.

Can you deflect ghast fireballs?

Ghasts cannot destroy any blocks with a blast resistance of 26 or higher (eg iron bars, Nether Brick Blocks, or cobblestone but cobblestones blast resistance lowers every blast and regular stone doesn't.) Ghasts will cancel their fire charge if a player that they are attacking moves behind a block.

What is resistant to ghast fireballs?

The player states that the Overworld is the Ghast's real home, and that it is sad because it is trapped in the Nether dimension. This gives the \u201cAn Uneasy Alliance\u201d advancement a ton of more weight, as it potentially saves the Ghast from the Nether. Minecraft hosts a ton of different mobs that roam its blocky lands.

Why do Ghasts cry in Minecraft?

Originally, ghasts were intended to be able to spawn near nether portals in the Overworld. However, this ability was not implemented.
