Piglins won’t trade with you if you’re not wearing at least one piece of Gold Armor, as they have a deep love for gold and can be aggressive towards players who aren’t wearing it. Additionally, you need to offer them a Gold Ingot to initiate the trading process, and they will only accept gold ingots and not other gold items or nuggets.
Understanding Piglin Trading
To trade with a Piglin, you need to understand their behavior and what they accept as trade.
