uhh don't mean to burst your bubble but.. that's is vanilla creeper mechanics so pigs will turn into pigmen as well.

Oh well I thought that the wand was not shooting actual lighting like in storms in minecraft and in 1.4.7 it do not do that

why is there no option for, yes this is new to me and I'm currently scheming evil minion plans

I think this is a bit of an exploit, once you have pig farm or a pig soul shard going you can just zap them with a Wand of Lightning to get a zombie pigman spawner for infinite gold.

You DO realize that pigmen are ALL OVER the Nether? The effort of time to gain a wand of lightning is greater than a nether portal and a safari net.

An MFR autospawner requires mob essence, power, and the mod itself. Not to mention the nets need 4 ender pearls and a ghast tear.

In some cases it would be far easier to divert some pigs from a Soul Shard, zap, and safely kill them rather than hunting down 1024 zombie pigmen in the Nether which will be trying their best to kill you.

I did some testing--the pigs don't seem to "convert" consistently, while the creepers do. Something to think about.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, a Soul Shard won't accept souls from entities spawned by another Soul Shard. I think that pigs converted into pigmen would still count as "spawned from a Soul Shard", though I haven't been able to test that yet.

Considering that you're changing entity types, it also may wipe out the marker that it was spawned from a soul shard, so it's possible that soul shard -> pigs -> pigmen -> soul shard may work

well, the mechanic of getting the soul shard has changed a bit and now requires endstone, so you need to atleast go to the end now to make a soul shard to be able to pull this off

i didnt freak out. where is my candy?

or, with other mods. Use mystcraft to get End stone, or End Stone from Oblivion Hives from Magic Bees.

Making a pigman grinder is fairly easy. It's not like their pathing has been improved or anything. They still fall off of cliffs to their death, where Hoppers await to carry their remains to your base. No MFR or Soul Shards necessary.

If I had to live in the nether, those cliffs would look pretty tempting to me, too.


It's a fun way to zap pigs and creepers, but personally I'd go with bees for large scale zapping. Mostly because I like bees and think it's fun to have danger zones scattered around the place.
