So Zombie Pigmen can't be friendly?

Only problem with your argumentation: This bug is fixed for the next version.

I think it's because normal pigs do not have a sword.

Comment by someone314 [ 14/May/13 ]

yes this is still a bug

Comment by Kumasasa [ 18/Mar/13 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Just asked Dinnerbone, it's not intended.

This is most likely intended. The zombie pigmen already exist in the nether, but when a pig gets struck by lighning, where would it get the sword? It can't, so it doesn't. I'm pretty sure if you throw gold swords on the ground, then they can pick them up and use them like they usually do.
