Cowlings are neutral mobs found in the Aether. They attack players on sight unless the player is equipped with at least one piece of Cold Iron or Iron Armor.
Players can use Cold Iron Ingots to trade with them for various items. They use a trading system similar to Villagers, unlike Piglins.
Spawning[]
Cowlings spawn in groups of 3-5 in aether wastes and spored garden biomes, and within bastion remains, at a light level of 11 or less in Java Edition, or 7 or less in Bedrock Edition on most blocks other than golden caps block or ice block, even in Peaceful mode.[Bedrock Edition only] Each piglin has a 20%[Java Edition only] or 5%[Bedrock Edition only] chance of spawning as a baby.
