Required Materials for a Piglin to wear Armor

In Minecraft, these are the materials you need for a piglin to wear armor:

Steps for a Piglin to Wear Armor

1. Piglins love anything Gold

Piglins like anything made of gold and can pick up any gold items. This includes golden armor such as golden helmet, golden chestplate, golden leggings or golden boots:

In this example, we've thrown a golden chestplate on the ground next to the piglin. Let's see what the piglin does.

2. Piglin will Pick up and Examine the Gold Armor

When a piglin sees the golden armor on the ground, it will pick it up in its left hand and examine the item for a few seconds.

Here is the piglin picking up a golden chestplate off the ground and holding in its left hand.

3. Piglin equips the Golden Armor

Once the piglin has finished examining the item, it will equip the golden chestplate as part of its armor. The piglin will only put on pieces of golden armor (not any other type).

TIP: A piglin even likes golden armor better than diamond armor! You can test this by spawning a piglin wearing diamond armor. When this piglin finds a piece of golden armor, it will equip the golden armor (and remove the corresponding piece of diamond armor).
