Behavior

The pig will wander around, avoiding cliffs. It can jump up to two blocks high.

The pig is not hostile, so it will not attack even when hit. If hit, it will panic, running back and forth for a couple of seconds, like other passive mobs.

If a pig is struck by lightning, it turns into a zombie pigman.

The pig can be ridden by the player after placing a saddle on its back. While riding the pig, the player can control the pig's movement by holding a carrot on a stick. If the player presses the jump button, they will dismount from the pig. If the player sneaks, the pig will stop, otherwise it just keeps going in the direction the player is facing, not avoiding any drops. The durability of the carrot on a stick decreases as the pig moves.

Trivia

• 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.
