Visiting nether for the first time can be a scary experience. Every nether biome has dangerous mobs looking to hunt down players coming near them. Hoglins is among the strongest hostile mobs in Minecraft.

By placing warped fungi, players can scare any hoglins rushing towards them.

Piglins adore gold so much that they trust any player wearing gold armor and become friendly to them. When exploring the nether realm, it is worth wearing any piece of gold armor to prevent a sudden ambush. Use a gold helmet or boot as they provide less protection than chest plates and leggings. This way, players can stay safe from piglins while not losing much protection.
