Avoiding Actions That Still Make Piglins Hostile

Distracting Trims Mod gives gold-trimmed armor the same piglin-distracting property as vanilla golden armor, preventing piglins from attacking you simply for walking near them. However, wearing a gold trim does not make piglins completely harmless if you break their other rules in the Nether.

Vanilla Provocations That Override Gold Trims

Even when you are wearing armor trimmed with gold, nearby piglins will immediately turn hostile if they notice you doing any of the following:

• Opening or breaking storage blocks: Interacting with chests, trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes, or ender chests near piglins still angers them. Use hoppers under chests if you need to loot safely.
• Mining gold blocks: Breaking Nether Gold Ore, Gilded Blackstone, Raw Gold Blocks, or Blocks of Gold within range of piglins provokes them regardless of your armor.
• Attacking a piglin: Hitting any adult piglin or baby piglin causes the surrounding group to retaliate.

Watching Out for Piglin Brutes

When exploring Bastion Remnants, keep in mind how vanilla mob variants behave:

1. Standard Piglins inside the bastion will ignore your presence as long as your gold-trimmed armor stays equipped and you avoid touching their gold or chests.

2. Piglin Brutes are never distracted by gold armor in vanilla Minecraft, which means gold trims will not pacify them either. Keep your full Netherite or diamond set equipped so you have enough defense to fight or escape them.
