The pig is one of the most recognizable farm animals worldwide and appears in countless children's stories, cartoons, and games. In Minecraft, pigs were the first passive mob ever added to the game (even before cows and chickens). They can be ridden with a saddle and controlled with a carrot on a stick. The pig's round pink body, snout, and floppy ears make it a perennial favorite for craft projects β especially for Chinese New Year (Year of the Pig) and farm-themed decorations.

- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
