In Minecraft versions after 1.21.4, Zombified Piglins no longer drop XP unless killed directly by a player. This breaks gold farms that use automated killing methods like lava, water, or fall damage — farms that worked perfectly in 1.21.4 and earlier.
This mod restores the original behavior: Zombified Piglins always drop XP on death, regardless of what kills them.
Gold farms that also serve as XP farms work again exactly as they did in 1.21.4 and before — including illmango's gold farm design. Whether your setup uses lava blades, fall damage, or any other automated system, Zombified Piglins will drop their 5 XP points on every kill — no player interaction required.
No configuration needed. Install and it works.
