Introduction:

This datapack improves piglins and rebalances piglins by the following changes and it supports minecraft versions from 1.16.2 to 1.21.3.

Changes from datapack:

Piglin Brute's New Stats:
- HP ♥️: Then = 50 (25 hearts), Now = 20 (10 hearts)
- Armor 🛡️: Then = No Armor, Now = Random Golden and Netherite Armor
- Weapon ⚔️: Golden Axe (70% chance), Netherite Axe (30% chance)
- Attack Damage 🩸:
  - Golden Axe 🪓: 13 (6.5 hearts)
  - Netherite Axe 🪓: 16 (8 hearts)
- Will alert nearby piglins about "your presence", and "the purpose of your presence", if you break into their bastion.
NOTE: Piglin Brute will never drop any armor or weapon on death. It will only drop its death loot which is mentioned further. This is for maintaining balance in the game.

Piglin's New Stats:
- HP ♥️: Then = 16 (8 hearts), Now = 20 (10 hearts)
- Piglins cannot be distracted by gold ingots when in attack mode.
- Piglins, that are alerted by piglin brutes, will attack you. Doesn't matter if you wear golden armor.
- Piglins will now hunt Hoglin more oftenly, like a real hunter should.
- Sometimes, instead of attacking you, they will only threaten you if you are not wearing gold armor. Eventually, they will start attacking.
NOTE: Piglin's universal anger is removed. Now if a player runs away from angry piglin and come back, it will not recognize the player.

Zombified Piglin's New Stats:
- Zombified Piglins will now spawn barehanded by default, but oftenly, they will spawn with golden swords and crossbows as their main weapon.
- Zombified Piglins are now hostile to piglins and players just like how real zombies should be. This is a toggleable feature. See admin commands to understand "How to disable?".
- Zombified Piglins can now convert piglins into zombies. The rate of conversion depends upon the following game difficulty:
- If a Zombified Piglin kills a Piglin Brute, then it will convert into "Zombified Piglin Brute".

New Death Loot Tables (Toggleable Feature):
- Piglin: 1-2 Gold Nuggets, 2-4 Arrows (for Ranged Piglins only)
- Piglin Brute: 1-2 Gold Ingots, 1 Golden Carrot
- Zombified Piglins: Piglin's Loot + 1-2 Rotten Flesh
NOTE: Looting Enchantment will not work on Golden Carrot dropped by Piglin Brute.

New Game Mechanics:
- Hoglins are restricted to spawn in Piglin Brute's territory. This feature is toggleable. See admin commands.
- Zombified Piglins, and Zoglins are restricted to spawn anywhere near Piglin Brute's Territory and in Nether Forests (Toggleable Feature).
- Zombified Piglins, and Zoglins will have more chance to spawn as a baby variant. This only feature is an exception for the below notation.
NOTE: The above features will not work if there is a player 8 blocks nearby, this avoids the mobs spawned by the player (using commands or spawn eggs) from being replaced or deleted. And mobs do not naturally spawn in 24 blocks area from player, so basically, players will face NO inconvenience. Spectators do not count as player in this case.

Admin Commands:

```
/function toggles:rebal_piglins
```
Here, you can toggle datapack specific features as you want. These features are:
1. New Loot Table for Piglins and Brutes : When Enabled, Piglins will drop gold nugget on death and Piglin Brutes will drop gold ingot and golden carrot. Both Piglins and Zombified Piglins holding crossbows in hand will drop arrows on death.
2. Chainmail Helmet for Ranged Piglins : When Enabled, Piglins carrying crossbows will have 50% chance to spawn with Chainmail Helmet.
3. Leather Boots for Piglins : When Enabled, Piglins will have 50% chance to spawn with Leather Boots.
4. Modify Original Piglin Brute : When Enabled, Piglin Brute's Health will be reduced to 20 HP and it will have random golden and netherite gear.
5. Piglin Zombification : When Enabled, no Piglin will be immune to zombification.
6. Restrict Hoglins : When Enabled, Hoglins will be restricted to spawn in Piglin Brute's territory.
7. Restrict Pig Zombies : When Enabled, Zombified Piglins and Zoglins will be restricted to spawn near Piglin Brute's territory and Forests of Nether.
8. Zombified Piglins attack Piglins : When Enabled, Zombified Piglins will attack nearby Piglins in .
9. Zombified Piglins attack Players : When Enabled, Zombified Piglins will attack nearby players. In order to achieve balanced gameplay, Zombified Piglins will also be nerfed.
10. Zombified Piglins vary with weapons : When Enabled, Zombified Piglins will spawn with more weapons and even barehands.
11. Fix Piglin's Loot Table Bug : When Enabled, the bug, where Piglins drop infinite amount of their current loot table will be fixed. DO NOT ENABLE THIS, WITHOUT TESTING THE BUG. To test the bug, summon atleast 20 of piglins and wither skeletons and let them fight. If one of the piglins drop a lot of gold nuggets on death, then the bug exists, else not.
```
/function uninstall:rebal_piglins
```
Uninstall this datapack removing all the features.

Pros:

Piglin Brutes have same power and protection as before but it makes more reasonable sense why is it so difficult to defeat.
Piglins are more intelligent now.
Killing Piglins and Piglin Brutes is now so worth it because of the modified death loot table.

Cons:

It's more harder to loot a bastion remnant.
