Piglin Alchemist - seymourimadeit/Piglin-Proliferation GitHub Wiki

Piglin Alchemists can be found in the Nether Wastes, Crimson Forests, and Bastion Remnants. Few know exactly how and when they make their remedies, but there's no mistaking the characteristic clink of their potions!

These support-oriented Piglins will see their comrades in trouble and toss them a relevant Splash Potion from their belt:

  • Potion of Healing/Regeneration to Piglins below max health
  • Potion of Fire Resistance to Piglins on fire
  • Potion of Strength to Piglins that are fighting an enemy and below half health
    • If an Alchemist is nearby, Piglins below half health will now 'retreat' to them for healing

Alchemists also wield a bow, with which they can shoot Tipped Healing Arrows at their comrades from a long distance. Although they prefer to offer support in battle, they can attack enemies with their bows if need be.

They can be bartered with just like normal piglins, but they give you a different set of items focused around alchemy and brewing. The loot table can be seen here:
