Commands
A pig can be spawned in another way besides its respective spawn egg, with the command /summon pig you can spawn it.
In addition to that you can add data tags to customize the pig. examples:
/summon pig 1 ~ ~ {name:"Thief pig", Health:5, defaultDrops:0, drops:[{item:{id:"gold_ingot", name:"Cash"},quantity:6, bonus:2}]
/summon pig 1 ~ ~ {health:20, baby:5, defaultDrops:0, drops:[{item:{id:"carrot"}, isBaby:1}]}}
Drops
When killed, they drop 0-2 raw porkchops (0-2 
Cooked porkchop if on fire) and 0-2 Raw bacon (0-2 
Cooked bacon if on fire).
It will also drop some 
experience points.
Behavior
The pig will wonder around aimlessly, avoiding hazards in its direction. It can jump up to two blocks high.
If a pig is struck by lightning, it turns into a 
zombie pigman.
The pig can be made rideable for the 
player by placing a saddle on its back. While riding the pig, the player can control the pig's movement using a 
carrot on a stick, however this is limited to sideways movement, as the pig will jump randomly by itself, and if the player presses the jump button they will dismount from the pig. If the player sneaks, the pig will stop, however otherwise it just keeps going in the direction it was going in before, not avoiding any drops. As the pig moves, the durability of the carrot on a stick goes down.

Bugs
- 1.28 - Using a carrot on a stick while riding a pig does not deplete its durability.
- While on a saddled pig, if a Fishing rod is used downwards in rapid succession, the player can levitate with a pig. Additionally, if a pig jumps while a fishing rod is used, it will start flying in the direction opposite of the mouse pointer's location. Easily done against a wall.
Trivia
- If a pig is struck by lightning, it will turn into a zombie pigman.
- The pig is not hostile, so it will not attack, even if it has been hit. If hit, it will run back and forth for a couple of seconds, like other passive mobs.
