Pigs commonly spawn in:
- Meadows
- Forests
- Plains
They often appear in groups of 2-4. Village farms may also house pigs.
What Pigs Eat:
To breed pigs, use carrots, potatoes, or beetroots. Feeding two pigs with these items initiates breeding. A piglet will appear, maturing into an adult after 10 minutes (this can be sped up with more food).

While not tamable like cats or wolves, pigs can be ridden. This requires a saddle (found in chests or via villager trades) and a carrot on a stick:
- Craft a fishing rod: 3 sticks and 2 string.
- Create a carrot on a stick: Combine a fishing rod and a carrot.
- Find a pig and saddle it.
- Use the carrot on a stick to steer.
