250gold ingots on average (one per barter)How bartering works
- Drop or hand a gold ingot to an adult piglin. Baby piglins take gold but never barter.
- The piglin admires the ingot for about 6 seconds (119 game ticks), then throws its result at you.
- Wear at least one piece of golden armor or piglins attack you. Opening chests or barrels, or breaking blocks piglins guard (gold blocks, gold ore…), near them makes them hostile too.
