This process is a key part of the “Oooh, shiny!” achievement in Minecraft, where Piglins are distracted by gold and become temporarily friendly.

Piglin Trading
Piglins can be traded with using gold ingots, and they will offer various items in return, including Netherite and diamond armor. However, it’s essential to approach them when they are not hostile, or to throw a gold ingot at them to distract them and initiate trading.
