How do I get the Zombie Pigman back into 1.2.7?

[moniker 67]

Just updated from 1.2.6. to 1.2.7 and I can't find Zombie Pigman, only Piglin. Could you keep Zombie Pigman for legacy reasons? I just can't see Minecraft without Zombie Pigman at this point, I don't like the new model.

I suppose there's a rig or something but it probably doesn't look 1:1 pixel perfect to the vanilla one.

The zombie pigman shares the same model as steve. You can find an endless amount of zombie pigman skins on the internet which you can just apply to the steve model.

Sadly this was intentional and there are no plans to re-add Zombie Pigmen.

However, you can still just import a Steve with the Zombie Pigman's texture, which is essentially the exact same thing.
