Why Pigs?
Pigs are a readily available and nutritious food source. Cooked pork is a high-value food item. Furthermore, with a saddle and carrot on a stick, they become surprisingly stylish (if slow) mounts!

Where to Find Pigs?
Pigs populate common biomes: meadows, forests, and plains. They typically spawn in groups of 2-4. Village farms are another potential source.

Pig Diet & Breeding:
Carrots, potatoes, or beetroots are the key to pig breeding. Feeding two pigs these items initiates breeding, resulting in a piglet that matures in 10 minutes (faster with additional feeding).

Pig Riding:
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.
