To directly answer the question, befriending Hoglins is not entirely possible in the classical sense, as they are aggressive beasts by nature, but you can take certain steps to make them less hostile, such as holding Crimson Fungus when around them. By understanding and leveraging their behaviors and fears, like their aversion to Warped Fungus, Nether Portals, and Respawn Anchors, you can create a more harmonious, or at least less confrontational, experience with Hoglins in Minecraft.
