Steps to turn a Pig into a Zombified Piglin

1. Find a Pig

First, you need to find a pig and build a fence around it so that the pig can't run away. In this example, we've placed the pig inside of a nether brick fence so that the fence doesn't burn when the lightning strikes. Other fence types (ie: wooden fences) are flamable and may burn away from fire caused by the lightning.

2. Strike the Pig with Lightning

Next, you need to strike the pig with lightning. If you are running Minecraft PC, you can easily create a lightning bolt with a game command.

So stand next to the pig. Then summon a lightning bolt by typing the following game command:

/summon LightningBolt
TIP: When you summon the lightning bolt, it will strike close to you and cause you damage in Survival mode. If you don't want to get hurt, switch to Creative mode and then summon the lightning bolt.

To enter a command in Minecraft, open the chat window and then type the command. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window.
