How to Find, Ride, and Farm Muddy Pigs

Finding and Creating Muddy Pigs

Muddy pigs are swamp-dwelling pig variants that love rolling in mud. You can find them naturally in swamp biomes where pigs discover mud pits and jump inside. Alternatively, you can create one manually anywhere by using a bucket of mud directly on a standard pig.

Once a pig enters mud, it rolls around until it is fully covered. When it emerges as a muddy pig, a tulip flower blooms on top of its head.

Shearing Dyes, Riding, and Cleaning

Once your pig is muddy, you can interact with it using shears to harvest the tulip on its head. Shearing drops dye corresponding to the color of the flower, giving you a renewable dye source.

• Riding: Place a saddle on a muddy pig to ride it like a vanilla pig. Muddy pigs gain a significant movement advantage in mud, moving extra speedy and float-y across mud pits, making them great for custom racing tracks.
• The Drying Cycle: After two minutes out of mud, the mud hardens and the mob becomes a dry muddy pig. It will immediately skedaddle toward the nearest mud to roll around and refresh its coat.
• Cleaning: If you want to revert the creature back to a regular pig, lead it into water to wash the mud off completely.
