Minecraft ™ Pigs
are Cool!
Minecraft is something I’ve been doing
since I got the PC version for my birthday.
In my Minecraft world, there is a colony of
pigs halfway down my waterslide. Aft er
my favourite pig 'died'/ went missing/
escaped/ (who knows?), I decided to
help the pig colony a bit by feeding it,
decorating its space and putting on some
music. I guess I felt guilty too because
these pigs were the same ones that
escaped and fell in water during my lava
experiment to see if I would get cooked
pork. A surprising number of things can
happen to pigs in Minecraft !
I mentioned riding Minecraft pigs in my
Horse Diary. What you need to do is get
a saddle (from a chest in a dungeon) and

a carrot on a stick (by craft ing a fishing
rod with a carrot). Select the saddle and
right-click it on the pig. Hold the carrot on
the stick in your hand. Right-click the pig
to get onto it. Look where you want to go
once you’re on.
Minecraft pigs and nasty creepers
are pretty much cousins. The
current creeper is based on a
failed early model for pigs. The
height and width of the body
were the wrong way around and
they were a strange grey colour.
Creepers and pigs are now very diff erent.
