Hoglin

What Is Hoglin in Minecraft?

The Hoglin is a hulking, hostile beast that charges through the Crimson Forest, attacking anything in its path.

What Can Hoglins Do in Minecraft?

• Hoglins attack on sight and hit hard, knocking players back with every charge.
• They travel in small groups, so one Hoglin spotting you often means several more joining the fight.
• Warped Fungus terrifies them. Holding some nearby makes Hoglins back away and refuse to approach.
• A Hoglin that wanders near Warped Fungus, or ends up in the Overworld or the End, transforms into a weaker Zoglin almost instantly.

How to Breed Hoglins

• Feed two Hoglins Crimson Fungus to start breeding and get a baby Hoglin.
• Keep Warped Fungus away from your breeding pen, since even a little nearby can scare adult Hoglins into fleeing.

How to Fight Hoglins

• Fight in open ground so you have room to dodge a charge instead of getting pinned against a wall.
• Holding a piece of Warped Fungus keeps nearby Hoglins from attacking at all, which is useful for sneaking past a herd.
• Watch for more than one Hoglin. They usually travel in packs and will surround you if you are not careful.

How to Stay Safe from Hoglins

• Carry Warped Fungus whenever you explore a Crimson Forest, since it is the easiest way to avoid a fight entirely.
• Avoid narrow bridges over lava when Hoglins are nearby, since their knockback can shove you straight into it.
• Build or travel on paths above the ground when possible, since Hoglins cannot follow you up most ledges.
