During the first act of the campaign, the first 3 piglin outposts owned by the Horde of the Hunt will generate in the outskirts of a village after successfully saving it from occupying piglins. Once the piglin outposts are destroyed, the Night Beacon base will spawn. After successfully destroying the Night Beacon base, the second act of the campaign will begin in which all the 3 piglin hordes will come into the Overworld bringing along the 3 piglin outposts that will generate in groups of three, each group with its own horde type. They can be located on the map; with a blaze rod tower icon and the color of the horde they belong to. The outpost will be considered destroyed when all of the structures are destroyed. Once destroyed, all piglins will vanish along with most of the fortifications at that outpost, such as bone walls and fortress walls. Piglin cages, if present on the outpost, will also automatically open, and the mobs that were trapped within them will be freed.
