Tutorial:Hoglin farming
.png){kind=small}
Hoglin farming is the process of killing hoglins for leather and porkchops. Eating a cooked porkchop restore 8 (
) hunger and 12.8 saturation, which makes it a great food item for players, while leather can be used to craft several items, such as leather armor, books, and bundles.
Mechanics
[edit | edit source]Hoglins can only spawn in a crimson forest, and are afraid of warped fungus, Nether portals and respawn anchors. If a hoglin or baby hoglin is standing on a slab with lava poured on top of it with hoppers underneath the slabs, the Hoglin will burn in the lava, but the hoppers will pick up its drops. Hoglins drop 2-4 raw porkchops (cooked porkchops if on fire) (maximum of 7 with Looting III), 0-2 leather (maximum of 5 with Looting III), and 5 (in Java Edition) or 1-3 (in Bedrock Edition) experience orbs if killed by player or tamed wolf. Looting can't be used unless it's a mob softener. Warped Fungus is immovable via pistons, so Respawn Anchors are the way to go. This can be expensive, however. Hoglins can be breed by feeding them crimson fungus to produce baby hoglins that will eventually grow into adults, which is how they can be farmed manually.
