Pigs act similarly to other passive mobs; they will wander aimlessly, avoiding falling off cliffs high enough to cause fall damage, and will usually stay out of water.

Trivia
- Saddled pigs in minecarts behave strangely:
- If the player mounts the pig and uses the opposite controls for direction, the speed of the minecart will be boosted to the same speed as a minecart travelling on powered rails.
- The minecart, ridden or not, will not come to a stop unless it hits a block. Other entities and unpowered gold rails will only slow it to a minimum speed.
- Also, if you sit on a saddled pig in a minecart that isn`t on a track, you are able to control the minecart and drive it around like a car (although it is very slow).
- In Pocket Edition, quitting the game while boosting a ridden pig will cause the pig to always move at boosted speed.
- One of the splashes which shows up on the title screen reads "Ride the pig!".
- The house-music artist deadmau5 released a song titled "Get In The Cart, Pig" (later named "Fn Pig"), in a direct reference to Minecraft.
- If a saddled pig is struck by lightning, it still transforms into a zombie pigman and the saddle is lost. The player is ejected from the pig if the player was riding it.
- You can still see a pig`s saddle when it is under the effect of Invisibility. This does not occur in the Pocket Edition.

It takes about 5 minutes before the parents can be bred once more, which applies to all farm animals. It takes at least one full Minecraft `day` (20 minutes or more) for piglets to mature. The appearance of a piglet is roughly similar to that of an adult pig, having the same sized heads, but noticeably smaller bodies. Piglets will stay around their parents until they mature, although the parents cannot protect the piglet(s) from harm.
The growth of baby pigs can be slowly accelerated by feeding them. Each use takes 10% off the remaining time to grow up.

Saddled pigs are controllable with a carrot on a stick. They start slow but end up going 4.00m/s. Pigs can be controlled through 1-block-high bodies of water with a carrot and stick, but any deeper and they will throw the player from their back. Using the carrot on a stick while riding a pig will cause it to accelerate to a burst of speed, taking 7 durability from the carrot and stick. It is not necessary to continue holding the carrot on a stick once the pig has begun having the burst of speed. Damage is taken by the part that was hit; fall damage is taken by the pig. Be that as it may, it does not cause any knockback nor any decrease of movement speed.

showOverview
Pigs have a height of 1.1875 blocks, a length of 1.25 blocks, and a width of 0.625 blocks. Hitting a pig will cause it to flee for a short while. It will eventually calm down.
Farming
Pigs are good for gathering porkchops. First, the Player should make a fenced-in area, 4 blocks wide and 1 block deep, with a fence gate, then lure a pig into the farm with carrots. After getting at least two, breed them as often as possible, by right-clicking on them with carrots or wheat in your hand, and kill one every time there are three or more than 4 adults.
Riding
- Main article: Saddle
For one to ride a pig, one must first find a Saddle in a Dungeon, Desert Temple, or Jungle Temple, as they are not craftable. A saddle can be placed on the pig by left-clicking the pig (in PC version) while the saddle is held in one`s hand. The pig will then be wearing an orange saddle, and it can be mounted. A player cannot control the pig`s movement unless they use a Carrot on a Stick, holding it in the direction they want the pig to walk. A mounted pig can be told to sprint by right-clicking.
A saddle can only be removed by killing the pig.
Breeding
A pig can be fed a , carrot or potato to enter love mode. When two pigs are in love mode within 16 blocks of each other, they make a baby pig. It takes one full Minecraft day (or 20 minutes) for the piglet to grow into an adult Pig. beetroot⃢₀₋Trivia
