1. Gather supplies: You'll need carrots, potatoes, or beetroots, and a saddle (found in chests or traded with villagers).
2. Craft a carrot on a stick: Craft a fishing rod (3 sticks, 2 string) and combine it with a carrot.
3. Find and pen your pigs: Build a pen to contain at least two pigs found in suitable biomes. Use carrots to lead them into the pen.
4. Breed the pigs: Feed two pigs carrots, potatoes, or beetroots to initiate breeding. A piglet will appear and grow into an adult in 10 minutes (feeding speeds this up).
