Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Piglin Summon Generator

  1. Type piglin into the search box (or leave the default – this page opens straight to the Piglin panel).
  2. Toggle Is Baby for a small, fast piglin instead of an adult.
  3. Pick a Weapon from the dropdown if you want the piglin holding a sword – leave it on “None” for an unarmed piglin (it will still try to barter or flee like normal).
  4. Check Immune to Zombification if you want this piglin to stay a piglin forever, even standing in the Overworld or the Nether outside piglin-safe zones.
  5. Copy the generated /summon command and paste it into a command block, the server console, or an operator’s chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

The base command is /summon minecraft:piglin ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This tool fills in the {NBT} portion for you:

  • IsBaby:1b – spawns a baby piglin (smaller hitbox, faster movement, and it won’t attempt to barter gold).
  • HandItems:[{Count:1,id:"minecraft:<sword>"},{}] – gives the piglin a held sword. The second array slot is the off-hand and is always left empty by this generator.
  • IsImmuneToZombification:1b – stops this piglin from ever converting to a zombified piglin, regardless of dimension or how long it spends away from the Nether.

Without a weapon or the immunity flag, a summoned piglin behaves exactly like one that spawned naturally: it avoids Warped Fungus and soul fire, admires (and can barter with) gold ingots, and slowly zombifies if it stays outside the Nether or a Piglin-safe zone for too long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a piglin summoned outside the Nether turn into a zombified piglin?

Yes, unless you check Immune to Zombification. A normal piglin standing in the Overworld (or anywhere outside the Nether, a nether portal’s piglin-safe radius, or while wearing a full gold armor set) starts a countdown and eventually converts, exactly like a villager turning into a zombie villager works in reverse.

Can I make this piglin hold a crossbow instead of a sword?

This generator’s weapon dropdown is limited to sword tiers. Piglins in vanilla can naturally spawn with a crossbow too, but to force that specific item use the general Summon Command tab, which accepts any free-form item ID including armor pieces.

Does gold armor stop a piglin from zombifying?

Full gold armor prevents piglins (and piglin brutes and hoglins can’t wear armor at all) from starting the zombification timer while it’s worn, but this generator doesn’t have an armor field for Piglin – use the general Summon tab if you want to add gold armor via raw NBT.

What’s the difference between a Piglin and a Piglin Brute here?

They’re separate mob types with their own dedicated generators. Piglin Brutes always spawn hostile toward players (no barter, no fleeing from the player when unarmed) and default to a golden axe instead of a sword. See the Related Tools below.
