This is so frustrating. I'm trying to explore the Nether, but the Zombie Pigmen start attacking me for some unkown reason. I am aware of Nether ores and so I haven't been mining any ores. My latest death was me eating my pork beside one and a random slowness effect took hold of me and they all became aggressive.

Even then, whenever I am exploring they just become aggressive towards me at any given random interval.

Anyone know a mod which is causing this?

Did you or one of your friends punch one of them?
It's just me playing, no. I've just started the world so I really don't want to get into much trouble in the nether. However, this is hard for me since they just aggro for no reason.

I really don't interact with them at all. As said, I can walk past them, and the next second, they go aggro and begin attacking me. It's really more specifically ones carrying an envy shard; those are the most common. But normal ones still do the same also.

Honestly, I'm not going to go back into the Nether until I get flight sorted. This is so annoying, haha.

The cause of the Zombie Pigmen rage (Ziggy) is what you said in your opening post, "Eating Pork within direct view of a Ziggy". It's an effect added by Draconic evolution and even mentions it in the tablet. Only way to stop it is by the usual Ziggy genocidal methods .

While the consumption of other primates is rather weired to me I would not consider attacking someone eating baboon on a stick.
Pigmen != pig. This hostility makes no sense.

Thanks dude, this is totally it. You've saved my day, haha. I was getting super annoyed. I literally spent the majority of my day dying and trying to retrieve my stuff.

isn't it the case that a pig that gets hit by lightning changes into a zombie pigman?
Yes this is correct:
A zombie pigman will spawn when lightning strikes within 4 blocks of a pig. If the player is riding the pig when lightning hits it, a zombie pigman will appear on top of the player. If the pig is a baby, the zombie pigman will still be full sized.

The solution is to switch to beef ;)

(inb4 a mod adds cowmen that aggro you when you eat beef)
I believe Ars Magica adds cowmen (ok, so they're called hellcows) to their own dimension; however, they're as aggressive as zombies and creepers and thus would be too busy trying to smash your face to care much about what you're eating.

There is a transformation*, but Zombie Pigmen have their own child form. I am still not buying that a zombie pigman should feel affinity for their porcine ancestor form.

* Difficult to verify - while I have been able to extract flesh from zombies, despite mass murder, I have been unable to examine a single flesh sample from a zombie pigman. Which is dissapointing as, as a thumaturge, their flesh looks tasty and nutritious. Experiments in flesh extraction continue apace.
