Minecraft How to Tame Hoglins and Breed Them

The slow strolling Hoglins are the latest mob creature to join the wonderful block world of Minecraft. These larger animals can be found walking throughout the Nether type of areas within the game. With that, most found in crimson forests.

The key to taming them is the use of just giving them crimson fungi. This is probably something many will wonder about as mating animals in the game is often desired as you can get an off-spring and have more of them roaming around. This is a rather easy process, very simple with these creatures.

Basically, just keep feeding them the crimson fungi until hearts appear over their head and push them together if they’re not just meeting each other. It takes two for baby Hoglins, and they have a five minute real world cool down before more breeding is possible between those involved. The video included below showcases this process.
That's right, it may not just be about getting the heart emotion going. You may actually have to manually get them closer together. It's also important to remove the crimson fungi from your hand after doing so as they'll be drawn to you instead of their mate which makes them harder to tame. When bred, the offspring will be small and can grow up faster with additional fungi. Each fungi you add reduces the growth time by ten percent with their total maturity being an in-game day, or well twenty real minutes.

Just so you are aware, this won’t have the same effect of taming as it would for other creatures. It simply adds more of them since this is the type of creature that you will be farming within the Nether in order to gather porkchop as a food resource. You can also attach a lead to them if needed. They carry twenty hearts of health, being a tough foe if you cause that to happen.

A neat fact is that you can use warped fungi to fend them off since they avoid it like Creepers do with cats. Another bit of information is that the babies will ride other hoglins. If one of these creatures spawns or ends up in the regular world or the End it will shake and turn into a zoglin after fifteen seconds.
