This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a zombified piglin (formerly called zombie pigman) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

You can summon a zombified piglin whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the syntax to summon a zombified piglin using the /summon command is:

/summon zombified_piglin [pos] [nbt]

Definitions

  • pos or x y z is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the zombified piglin should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the zombified piglin will spawn in the current location.
  • nbt or dataTag is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the zombified piglin such as {NoAI:1} or {IsBaby:1}. See NBT tags for zombified piglin.

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button  at the top of the screen.
  • For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
  • For PS4, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button  on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
  • For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a zombified piglin in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:

/summon zombified_piglin

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the zombified piglin will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message “Summoned new Zombified Piglin” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the zombified piglin has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

Congratulations, you have summoned a zombified piglin in Minecraft.
