Frequently asked questions

How do I summon a Piglin in Minecraft?: Enable cheats or use OP, open chat with T or /, paste /summon minecraft:piglin ~ ~ ~ (Java) or /summon piglin ~ ~ ~ (Bedrock), and press Enter. The Piglin spawns at your feet.
Does the summon Piglin command work on Bedrock Edition?: Yes — use /summon piglin ~ ~ ~. Bedrock uses the same entity IDs without the "minecraft:" prefix and does not support NBT arguments like custom names in the summon command.
Why does my summoned Piglin despawn?: Mobs despawn when no players are nearby. On Java Edition, add {PersistenceRequired:1b} to the summon command to prevent it. On Bedrock, use a name tag on the mob after summoning.
