Cows have leather, sheep have wool, and chickens have feathers. But pigs have always gotten the short end of the stick in Minecraft. This pack aims to make pigs a tiny bit more interesting by making them produce more piglets and giving them the ability to forage for mushrooms in mud.<\/p>\n

**Features**<\/p>\n

– More Piglets.
\n – Breeding pigs will now result in 1-5 piglets. The more pigs nearby the lower the chance for additional piglets\ufeff, so make sure to give them ample space to live!
\n– Mushroom Foraging.
\n – Feeding a pig a carrot will make it look for a willing partner, if it is unable to find one within the given time (30 seconds) the pig will instead attempt to forage for mushrooms.
\n – Mushrooms can be found in mud, mycelium, and podzol.
\n – Fungus can be found in [soul soil]([https:\/\/minecraft.wiki\/w\/Podzol](https:\/\/minecraft.wiki\/w\/Soul_Soil)).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
