Before building your pig paradise, let's explore the benefits:
Why Pigs are Useful:

Pigs are a readily available food source. Cooked pork is highly nutritious. Beyond sustenance, with a saddle and carrot on a stick, they become surprisingly stylish (if slow) transportation!

Where to Find Pigs:

Pigs are common in several biomes:
- Meadows
- Forests
- Plains
They usually spawn in groups of 2-4. Village pens are another potential source.
What Pigs Eat (and Breeding):
Carrots, potatoes, or beetroots are the key to pig breeding. Feeding two pigs with one of these items initiates breeding, resulting in a piglet that matures in 10 minutes (faster with additional food).

How to Breed Pigs and Ride Them:

While not tamable like cats or wolves, pigs can be ridden. This requires:
- A Saddle: Found in chests (dungeons, temples, strongholds) or traded with villagers.
- A Carrot on a Stick: Crafted by combining a fishing rod (3 sticks, 2 string) and a carrot.

Use fences or a pit to contain your pigs. Lead them in with a carrot, feed them, and watch the piglets arrive!

Bedrock Edition features "adaptive" pigs for warm and cold climates, with different models and spawning locations. This is currently part of experimental gameplay.
Efficient pig farming ensures a steady food supply and adds a touch of charming chaos to your Minecraft world.
