Bastion Remnant
Nether
How to find it
- Generates in every Nether biome except basalt deltas
- Four types: bridges, hoglin stables, housing units and the treasure room - the treasure bastion has the giant gold-block pyramid and lava pool
- /locate structure minecraft:bastion_remnant
Loot
- Netherite upgrade smithing template: guaranteed in the treasure room chest (1.20+) - you need 7 diamonds to duplicate each one
- Ancient debris, netherite scraps and sometimes a netherite ingot (treasure room)
- Pigstep music disc, snout banner pattern, gilded blackstone
- Gold blocks by the dozen, especially in the treasure bastion
Dangers
- Piglins attack anyone without gold armor or anyone opening chests and mining gold - wear one gold piece and distract them with gold ingots dropped elsewhere
- Piglin brutes: 50 HP, no fear of gold armor, huge axe damage. They do not respawn - clear them first
- Magma cube spawners under the treasure bastion lava pool
Tips
- Loot chests without angering piglins: break the block under the chest, place a hopper feeding a new chest, and take the items from the hopper - piglins only get angry if you open or break the container directly.
- Hoglins in the stables bastion are a free porkchop farm if you block them in.
- Never dig straight down in a bastion: lava pockets and brute fall-traps are everywhere.
