So what I am proposing is that whenever you hold (not have in your inventory, but hold in your hand) an item made of gold (full list below) all zombie pigmen in a 32 block radius would turn hostile. The idea is that they are gold-crazed zombies who will do anything to get gold.
Here is a list of all the items that would turn pigmen hostile:
Gold Ingot
Gold Nugget*
Block of Gold
Golden Hoe
Golden Axe
Golden Sword
Golden Shovel
Golden Pickaxe
Golden Helmet**
Golden Chestplate**
Golden Leggings**
Golden Boots**
Clock
*A nugget would only turn the pigmen in a 16 block radius hostile, instead of 32.
**These would also turn the pigmen hostile if you were wearing them.
I think that this would be a very simple yet interesting addition to MineCraft. Please leave comments, criticism, or support below.
Actually Zombie Pigmen are very powerful and pose a risk in multiplayer because you only need one player to agro them for all other plays to be attacked. I like your idea because it doesn't make them harder to defeat but gives a way to get them to come closer to you.
And it's true. Zombie pigmen are the easiest non-passive mob to kill in MineCraft, with the possible exception of Silverfish.
Overworld Zombies? Slimes?

Yeah... I understand where you were going with this idea, but it damages the integrity of gold a bit. A player might be wearing his favorite enchanted gold chestplate, or might put his gold pickaxe to use somewhere in the Nether, only to be gangraped by a bunch of Zombie Pigemn just because Jeb decided "Hey! Zombie Pigmen should shred any player holding something gold!"
pigmen are far harder to kill than zombies, spiders, slimes, and magma cubes. plus, who really uses gold stuff? its rarer than iron, and breaks much faster. bad suggestion, no support.

Sam- I left this here because I know you like MC and hope you are on this forum. this is alex, from gym and geography class. the kid with long hair and glasses. make an account and msg me if you see this.
Everybody seems to think zombie pigmen are hard enough to kill already, but some people still like the idea of them turning hostile for gold, so I am open to suggestions for trying to balance this out.
Updated the main post and deleted the sentence stating that zombie pigmen are the easiest non-passive mob in MineCraft because no one seems to agree.
Although gold itself is pretty useless with the exception of a clock or nuggets, I think zombie pigmen should not get aggressive because of the gold you are wearing or holding. They are already dangerous to some players and they hang out in groups, which add to the danger. Not only they run fast when angered, they are also high in attack.
So... No support.

Sorry, a good suggestion, but no support.
