What can you get from piglin bartering?

Give a piglin a gold ingot and it returns one roll from the bartering loot table: Soul Speed books/boots, Fire Resistance potions, water bottles, iron nuggets, ender pearls (2–4), dried ghast, string, quartz, obsidian, crying obsidian, fire charges, leather, soul sand, nether bricks, spectral arrows (Java), gravel, or blackstone.

How do you barter with piglins in Minecraft?

Wear at least one piece of gold armor so adult piglins stay neutral. Hold a gold ingot and use it on a piglin, or drop/throw gold nearby. After a few seconds they throw an item back. Babies and brutes do not barter. Works in the Nether (or anywhere piglins exist).

Is piglin bartering worth it?

Yes if you have gold — especially from a gold farm. It is the only survival source of Soul Speed, a renewable ender pearl route without endermen, and a steady supply of crying obsidian, blackstone, and Fire Resistance potions.

Yes. Soul Speed enchanted books and Soul Speed iron boots only come from piglin bartering (book ~1.07%, boots ~1.71%). You cannot get Soul Speed from enchanting tables or villager trades.

Dried Ghast was added to the bartering table in Java 1.21.6 (weight 10 / ~2.13%). Place it in water to hydrate into a happy ghast over time.

Java vs Bedrock piglin bartering?

Drop rates are the same for shared items. Java gives spectral arrows; Bedrock gives regular arrows. Barter inspect time differs slightly (about 6s Java vs 8s Bedrock). This tool uses the Java loot table including spectral arrows and dried ghast.

How accurate is this piglin bartering simulator?
