Pigs have long been a staple of Minecraft, and it’s hard to believe that their design has remained unchanged for over 15 years. However, recent developments in Minecraft Snapshot 25W02A have introduced two fresh variants of the classic pink pig. These new pig types will spawn in specific climate regions, each displaying distinct colors and textures. Curious about where to track down these new swine? This guide provides comprehensive details on locating the various pig variants in Minecraft.
Note: This feature is currently in its beta testing phase and is playable only in Minecraft Snapshot 25W02A. We will update this page as soon as Mojang releases this feature in the stable version.
Exploring Pig Variants in Minecraft
Before embarking on your adventure to uncover the new pig variants, remember to pack some food for these adorable creatures. Pigs thrive on potatoes, carrots, and beetroots, which can also be used for taming and breeding them.
If you’re aiming to ride one of these friendly pigs, you’ll need a saddle, a carrot on a stick, and a lead. After taming a pig, equip it with a saddle and use the carrot on a stick to steer it in the direction you wish to travel. Now, let’s discuss the various biomes where you can spot all three pig varieties in Minecraft.
1. Warm Pig
The Warm Pig variant features a rusty brown hue, complemented by dark brown ears, noses, and legs. This variant thrives in hot and humid climates, spawning in these specific biomes:
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Windswept Savanna
- Jungle
- Sparse Jungle
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Wooded Badlands
- Badlands
2. Cold Pig
The Cold Pig, true to its name, is found in regions characterized by cold and snowy climates. With a fluffy, beige coat and brown accents on its nose and feet, this variant can be located in the following biomes:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Windswept Hills
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Forest
3. Temperate Pig
The Temperate Pig is the familiar pink variant that has been part of the game for years. They spawn in all regions that do not host the cold and warm pigs, with exceptions for the Snowy Plains, Wooden Badlands, Badlands Plateau, and the Meadows. You’ll find these pigs in the following biomes:
- Forest
- Flower Forest
- Birch Forest
- Old Growth Birch Forest
- Dark Forest
- Swamp
Additionally, you may come across some of these pigs in fenced areas within villages. Notably, while the climate dictates the appearance of spawning pigs, the offspring produced from breeding will depend on the parent pigs. If two pigs of different variants breed, the variation of the baby pig will be randomly chosen from its parents.
