Overview[]
The Pig was the first mob in Bloxd.io added on November 20, 2024. The developers did not announce or gave spoilers about the release of the pig before the pig was added to the game.
Spawning[]
Pigs spawn above ground level in plains, forests and mountain biomes.
Items Dropped[]
Pigs drop 1-3 pieces of porkchop when killed.
Health[]
A pig has 75 health.
Sound[]
Added on November 25, 2024, this mob's Sound sounds like a "man's scream".
Movement[]
After Pigs spawn they turn around up to ~160° and sprint 5 - 7 blocks straight. This repeats for an indefinite time until the pig is attacked. When pigs are attacked, their speed will increase temporarily and they will try to run away from the player or mob that is attacking it.
Release[]
At 16:51 on November 20, 2024 (GMT +0), developer Dirty Flea Sack updated this sentence on the dev-log announcement channel on Discord: "added pigs".
Spawn Orbs[]
Spawn Orbs (for Pigs) were added on December 12, 2024 along with other spawn orbs for Cow mobs. The Spawn Orb for the pig can only be obtained in Creative, Worlds, and Plots. When the orb is thrown, a pig will spawn. However, you can't spawn multiple mobs in one place or spawn too many in a lobby.
Taming[]
You can use Raw Porkchop and Cooked Porkchop to restore a Wolf’s health or tame a Wildcat. You can technically eat both raw and cooked porkchop to gain health, but raw ones will also give you a poison effect when eaten.
Bugs and Problems[]
Problems[]
Pigs can walk into caves/ravines or water bodies.
Bugs[]
If a pig collided with a boat, the lobby would crash. (Patched)

Old Trivia[]
- This mob used to not take damage from spikes, moonstone explosives, and firearms.
- Previously, this mob only had 40 hp.
Trivia[]
- Unlike Cows and Sheep which were introduced and were said to be added in the near future, Pigs were not introduced but were the first and official mobs added.
- They have a very simple pathfinding mechanic, making them walk around in straight lines occasionally and often falling into caves. They face a random direction and go a random amount of blocks toward that direction.
- Some joke textures have been made about the pig.
- You used to not be able to kill them with instant damage potions.
- In Discord, JanuaryBoy posted an image of him testing out "Test Pigs."
- Like other updates, when the developers added this mob to the game, the game broke.
- Pigs used to be rare, but DirtyFleaSack increased the chances of finding pigs and spawning in a herd.
