[MCPE-149822] Zombie Piglins not spawning in Overworld portals

I built a manual gold farm in the overworld utilising a 23x23 nether portal being repeatedly turned on and off. Only no zombie piglins are spawning at all. Have the mechanics changed so that resetting a portal no longer gives a chance to spawn or is this a bug?

Ticking portals will not spawn Pigmen anymore. This was an exploit that was fixed in 1.18.

Well that sucks. It seemed like a perfectly reasonable farming mechanic to me.

The spawning was not removed, see MCPE-126674. It just doesn’t work below Y = 0. I’ve resolved this report as a duplicate of MCPE-149718.
