Zombie pigmen, once provoked, can eventually forget past aggression to the player, effectively ‘forgiving‘ them, meaning that should the player wait long enough or exit and then re-enter the Nether, the Zombie Pigmen will no longer attack the player until attacked once again. The zombie pigmen will remain hostile for 20 to 39.95 seconds, and will continue to pursue an already-targeted player after this time until the player escapes their 40 block pursuit radius.
Understanding Zombie Pigmen Behavior
Introduction to Zombie Pigmen

Factors Affecting Zombie Pigmen Behavior
Several factors can influence the behavior of zombie pigmen, including the player’s actions, the environment, and the presence of other mobs. For instance, if a zombie pigman is harmed by another mob, it will become hostile towards that mob, but the rest of the group will remain neutral until they are also harmed or attacked.
