What Do Pigs Eat?

Carrots, potatoes, or beetroots are used to breed pigs. Simply holding one attracts them.

Feeding two pigs initiates breeding, resulting in a piglet that matures into an adult after 10 minutes (this can be sped up with more food).

How to Breed Pigs:

Pigs aren't tamable like cats or wolves, but they can be ridden. This requires a saddle and a carrot on a stick:

1. Craft a fishing rod: Combine three sticks and two string (obtained from spiders).
2. Create a carrot on a stick: Combine the fishing rod and a carrot at a crafting table.
3. Obtain a saddle: Found in chests within dungeons, temples, strongholds, or traded with villagers.
4. Build a pen: Use fences or a pit to contain the pigs.
5. Find at least two pigs.
6. Lead them to the pen: Use a carrot.
7. Feed them carrots, potatoes, or beetroots to breed them.
8. Wait 10 minutes for the piglet to mature.
