I’ve been playing in the 1.16 snapshots looking through the nether for the new new mobs and biomes, and one of the biggest things I noticed was there were no zombie pigmen. Only Piglins and Zombified Piglins. What will happen to the zombie pigmen in 1.16?
Any role that the zombie pigmen was able to fill in 1.15 and earlier will be getting filled by the zombie piglin in 1.16 and later. Like a retcon, for all intents and purposes the zombie pigman has never existed in Minecraft.

Not really a retcon per se, more so a reskin and rename. As far as I am aware, Zombie Piglins behave near exactly to Zombie Pigmen if not exactly. But yes, you are right. Zombie Pigmen basically do not exist in the regard of what story, lore, or implementation to what they were suppose to be.
Don't make the same mistake I made, these guys aren't replacing Zombie Pigmen (soon to be renamed 'Zombified Piglins'). Nope, these guys are a brand new mob to be added in the future. So, Piglins spawn in the Nether, and come with their own new structure called Bastions.
Piglins = Group of mobs that bear crossbows and swords. They will get mad at you if you do not wear any gold armor. You can give them gold in exchange for a random nether related item (not every nether item, just a few of them). They are afraid of the warped forest and things related to it.
Zombified Piglin = Group of passive mobs that spawn in the nether, bearing swords. If you hurt one, they will all attack you. They are functionally a replacement to Zombie Pigmen. If a Piglin goes to the overworld, it becomes a Zombified Piglin.

Oh. Ok thanks.

I'm confused. are zombie pigmen getting removed or not?
Zombie pigmen will no longer be in the game, but have a creature that looks and behaves almost identically replacing them.
Stay fluffy~
