I'm using Pigmen on my server, but their insistence upon carrying gold swords is causing a couple problems that I won't go into too much detail about. Ideally, I'd love to be able to set them to carry stone swords, or maybe just set a rarity percentage where one in ten pigmen has an iron sword and the rest have stone. Is this doable by any manner of Bukkit wizardry?
I'm pretty sure the gold sword is just built into the pig men model. You can check by installing a texture pack, getting a gold sword (make sure it looks different) and then going to a pig men and see if the sword looks like the default one, or the texture pack.
I'm positive the items being held by the Pigmen are actual items - as in, they change with the texture pack, and thus are the same gold swords as players can use. As such, I have to imagine they should be changeable.
