Sapience - Mod for Enhancing Piglin Behavior
Sapience mod fundamentally transforms piglin behavior in Minecraft, turning them from simple neutral mobs into fully sentient beings with complex social structures and unique interaction mechanics.
Reputation System
Piglins now possess an advanced reputation system similar to villagers. Your actions directly affect their attitude towards you:
- Reputation increase: Fighting alongside them against hostile mobs, giving gifts, and successful trading
- Reputation decrease: Attacking piglins, unauthorized resource mining, and chest opening
Reputation levels:
- +50 reputation: No longer required to wear gold armor
- +100 reputation: Permission to mine gold and access chests
- -50 reputation: Stop receiving items from bartering
- -100 reputation: Attack on sight regardless of gold armor
In versions 1.18+, you can check current reputation by holding Shift and right-clicking a piglin with an empty hand.
Food and Breeding
Piglins now exhibit feeding behavior:
- Automatically pick up and consume food (default: pork)
- Players can feed piglins directly
- Food consumption restores health
- Can breed when reaching sufficient satiety level (12 units)
- Babies mature in 20 minutes, can accelerate growth
Gold and Bartering
Expanded gold interaction system:
- Piglins store gold nuggets and ingots in separate inventory
- Can craft golden equipment and arm themselves
- Exchange equipment with fellow piglins
- New bartering options: gold nuggets (increased common items chance) and gold blocks (increased rare items chance)
- Accept any items with "piglin_loved" tag
Additional Features
- Visual refusals with head shaking
- Particles and sounds when accepting/declining items
- Ecological behavior: spreading crimson fungus to maintain hoglin population
- Hoglins also received improved breeding behavior
Technical Settings
