Prevent Piglins and Hoglins from Zombifying
Stopping Zombification
Piglins and Hoglins naturally zombify when brought to the Overworld. Use the nozombification nametag effect to prevent this transformation permanently.
Steps
1. Rename a nametag to nozombification using an anvil
2. Apply it to a Piglin or Hoglin by right-clicking
3. The mob will no longer zombify, even in the Overworld
Re-enabling Zombification
To allow a mob to zombify again, rename a nametag to zombification and apply it.
Practical Uses
This is essential if you're building Piglin or Hoglin farms or displays in the Overworld. Without this effect, your mobs would transform into Zombified Piglins or Zoglins, breaking your farm's purpose. Apply this effect immediately after capturing or spawning these mobs in the Overworld to preserve them in their original form indefinitely.
