Java Edition:Piglin Jockey
A glitch in the 1.16 snapshot 20w21a allows the player to obtain a piglin on any mob existing in the snapshot that could ride a boat[1]. These jockeys are also later possible in the April Fools' snapshot 22w13oneBlockAtATime. The piglins can also be zombified in later versions.
Obtaining
Boat Mounting
First, the base mob or jockey must be put in a boat. The mob/jockey should, for any permanent set up, be put in the nether because a piglin will dismount the entity upon zombifying. Next, the piglin must attempt to enter the boat by getting within mounting proximity. The piglin will mount the mob in the boat immediately upon entering the boat. The boat can then be optionally destroyed to just leave the jockey. If there is a piglin already in a boat, then another piglin can't enter that boat.
22w13oneBlockAtATime Mob Wrestling
In the April Fools' version 22w13oneBlockAtATime, the player can pick up nearly any entity to create mob stacks in any combination. This powerful method also allows for most piglin jockeys from the boat method to be obtained and more to be obtained.
Zombification
Piglin jockeys can be zombified in the Overworld and End from versions 1.16.2 Pre-release 1 to 25w42a (present). From 20w21a to 20w29a, the piglin would dismount upon zombification. The only version that would cause the game to crash was in snapshot 20w27a[2].

Oversized
Updating oversized mobs in boats from the 1.9 snapshots allows piglins to ride any mob that is already mounted in a boat, provided that it can get in range of the boat's mounting hitbox. This allows piglins to ride several mobs that won't fit in boats in 20w21a. These mobs are as follows:
