Zombie Pigmen
Like Endermen, these inhabitants of The Nether region are neutral unless attacked. The
main problem with doing that is that, just like wolves and zombies, attacking one causes
them all to want to join in. If you do get zombie pigmen riled up, you may find it best to
try to make your escape. They'll calm down eventually.

visage—a mug shot if ever there was one.
FIGURE 5.8
With a pack mentality, zombie pigmen are best left to their own devices.
Defensive Mobs
Balancing out the host of hostile mobs are a couple of defensive ones that are unique be-
cause they are created by the player. Neither of these mobs is created at a crafting table.
Instead, you'll need to stack their blocks where you'd like them to spawn, always ensuring
you leave the pumpkin block to last.
