Raiding Bastion Remnants is Easy in Minecraft 

"These bastions have the worst loot" *finds 2 ancient debris in chest*

Lava bucket also will be helpful with dealing against piglin brutes, because common piglings wont get angry at you if you kill brute with it. And bringing some dirt or soul soil to place warped fungus on it can be helpful to deal with hoglins

8:19 My very first time inside a Bastion to find Netherite was this one. I had tunneled my way into the bottom and quickly got to that center platform, but I had piglins and slimes pressuring me, when I tried to get a little distance to eat a golden apple, I stepped into that EXACT hole in the floor that Piglin is in. I. Was. Upset.

I think since piglin brutes use axes, they will disable shields just like an attack from a vindicator.

Another thing I’ve personally realized after dying a lot- raiding bastions from the top down are normally much safer. It’s easier to stop enemies from coming up to you than to stop them from dropping down on to you

Some other things: 1. Bridge, Stables and Housing can have different ramparts that contain varying numbers of chests: In Bridge, they will have 1 or 3 and in housing and stables they will have between 1-3. The loot tables do not change in these however. 2. In the stables part of the hoglin stables bastion, the chests may also contain gold blocks or diamond hoes 3. Stables is also by far the bastion type that varies the most in terms of amount of loot. In the non-stable part, there can be between 4 and 12 chests (counting double chests as 2). There can also be lots of gold if you can find it. 4. While it is the best bastion for speedrunning by far, housing is likely the worst for the casual player. Despite this, there can be 3, 4 or 6 chests in the top part and at least 3 (usually ~5-6) in the bottom part. There are ways to identify the different housing units as well and there is a tutorial for that on youtube by someone named EleventyBillion. Housing also generates at least 12 blocks which are buried but more may generate (such as the ones at the top of the units in this video). 5. Treasure is the best bastion but those chests in the middle were quite a bit better than what you are likely to get. You will usually only get 1 chest down there and I'd say on average 1 good item (diamond equipment or netherite debris or scrap). You can also get quite a few gold blocks out of those chests. 6. A way to easily kill piglin brutes (and regular piglins) without agroing the other piglins is with a lava bucket. Just make sure you have fire res handy (it is relatively common from piglin trades). This lava bucket method also works extremely well with hoglins. If you can, pillar up 4 blocks if a hoglin is chasing you and place the lava on the side of the pillar to kill the hoglin. 7. If you hit baby hoglins once, they will become scared of you and avoid you for ~10-15 seconds. 8. If you are using the pillar method to kill piglins, it is important to remember that half of all piglins have crossbows and can shoot you off. 9. If you are simply looking to distract piglins, remember that throwing them any gold item will distract them. But be careful as their AI can sometimes be really dumb and not notice it for a few seconds so it is better to right click them with a gold ingot to distract them. 10. Do not use respawn anchors in any dimension but the nether. They will explode just like beds. 11. Some of the largest clusters of gold are as follows: At the bottom of housing there are 9 gold blocks very close together, they are located in a sort of pit area where there is lots of chiseled blackstone bricks. On the bottom left and right of Stables, when there is not a chest there, there will be between 1 and 4 gold blocks in a wall there as well as between 2 and 8 gold blocks in the floor of the same room. Also in stables, on the ramparts with 3 chests (1 double 1 single), there are 4 gold blocks hidden in the room directly below the single chest. In the very top 2 floors of treasure, there are between 2 and 14 gold blocks in the walls. Sometimes they will be exposed, but mostly not. They do however always generate in the same 14 places. 12. As a final rule of thumb, always wear and gold helmet or boots when in a bastion. Although it will not deter piglin brutes, with the lava bucket trick or the boat trick it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Good luck.

Opening or breaking chests will anger the piglins, but you can avoid it by placing a hopper underneath the chest and suck the items out

Quick tip, about chunkbase... you can type your coordinates in below the map, to see where you are or to see where you want to go. Type in the x and y and hit go! And it will place the red dot. Very useful tool. Great video as always.

One thing to note: after 1.20, the netherite upgrading smithing template now required to upgrade your diamond tools to netherite have a low chance to spawn in bastion chests but a 100% chance to spawn in a treasure bastion

Sort of fun fact: The Bastions are the most deteriorated structures in the game, followed by the deep dark cities. In 3rd place are the ocean ruins.

The only bastion that really excites me is the treasure room. Finding 1 or 2 netherite ingots is amazing. Plus the gold

Very informative & helpful. I've pretty much been avoiding bastions, but am now willing to give them a try.

I found Lava Buckets very effective in clearing out bastion mobs. Also, if you time the lava correctly, or use a fire aspect/flame weapon, the Hoglins can drop cooked porkchops, which can be an extremely good source of food even if you're just killing the ones in your way.

0:00 End City loot puts up a firm competition

One time in a server, me with my friends we do a bastion "heist" -use the invisibility potion -drink fire resistance to swim in lava to the main loot area -use hoppers to grab all loot -and run, run as faster we can

You forgot to mention that it's extremely useful to bring a lava bucket to a bastion. The lava can easily kill the piglin brutes without alerting the piglins nearby. Also works great on hoglins.

A video on mob spawners in 1.18 would be awesome!! Great video!

A technique that I found was well to rid the bastion of most piglins was to bridge over lava while they are hostile. As long as they can’t follow you onto to the bridge they will run into lava.

I think the 16 blocks of gold that you find at The Bridge, is supposed to be a Piglin head, considering there are 2 quartz slabs that represent the Piglins tusks.

Epic! so helpful, I've recently returned to minecraft since the 1.19 release and last time I played Bastions didn't exist, I'm very thirst for their loot now!

This is one of the most helpful guide that people need including me.

My suggestion is to start dealing with the eniema from up to down while searching really well before going down because If someone up survives they can drop on you from any direction and kill you so fast you can t react. And another things you should to is to aggro the enemies on a floor and then then trap them with a few blocks and kill them all like that.

Thanks for the video, man. I have been struggling to find a bastion so I can try my luck in finding the netherite smithing piece so I can finally get netherite weapons and gear. I hope this makes it much easier to find and clearing one. Appreciate it very much.

Highly informative video! I'll definitely try raiding bastions in the future!

you can also kill hoglins going the 3 blocks up and burning them with lava placing it repeatedly in the floor so it can't spread to get cocked pork chop

Since I started watching your videos, I've been able to excel so much in minecraft! Thank you for the content!

Being someone that is in speedrunning and yet still learning something from this video is insane, i love you content man, keep it up

the bastion routes used in speedrunning help quite a bit because you can uncover gold blocks easily. my recommendation for dealing with piglin brutes is to use boats. place one in its path, and it'll be completely immobilized by the boat. other piglins will get mad at you if you attack a brute, so bring some gold along to distract them.

Thanks so much! I've been trying to speedrun Minecraft ssg and I was so scared that I guess I spent 15 minutes in the bastion just holding my shield and walking but now I know some tricks I will go and try the seed again

Full dye guide next? It's actually a pretty complex subject that would great to have a video to reference!

Thank you very much for the video. I managed to find 2 chock-full chests in a Hoglin stables after searching the main wall more thoroughly.

thanks for the tips, i made some spruce boats in my inventory and i can now easily raid a lot of bastions with ease

I knew about the gold in the walls but I always thought it was random. Thanks for the tip on the chilled rock!

The piglin brutes are very dangerous, as they're like a vindicator but with more health. They have enough health to survive a melee from the warden, but they don't always survive them.

Thank you so much for these videos they probably helped me know like 50% more things in minecraft i didnt know before

Omg i was waiting for so long for this guide tsm!

8:55 A-nether.. nice one 👍

I love watching your videos as much as I love playing minecraft! Keep up the good work buddy 💜

11:40 on Bedrock edition, when you use a shield against a hoglin it actually knocks back the hoglin instead of the player, so if you are near an edge of the bastion, knocking them off could be a good and easy method unless there are multiple, if there are multiple I like fir them to hit me with my shield, then sword crit, and repeat.

If you have problems with piglin brute, gets a chest place it and break it again. So you lure all the piglin brute to you and could easily kill them if you build a small house about 4x4. I always use this method it works every time

A well made tutorial, very concise

Thanks for the vid. Very helpful! Especially using boats to kill the brutes. ;O

tip - bring iron and pumpkins and spawn iron golems to help you out. it has saved me a bunch since the brutes are fast and deadly

My first time raiding a bastion,this helped alot and I got the treasure room bastion

the other day I found a housing unit using the /locate command but I had no idea that there were different kinds of bastions, I thought it was all just bastion remnants/housing units. I'm gonna go raid the nether now

The treasure room design is my favorite. I'll have to head to more bastions and hopefully get a Pigstep or two. I never knew about the snout blocks hiding gold or how many chests were in a bastion. I'll maybe have to revisit some as well and see what I might have missed.

This is a game changer thank you so much

biggest thing that so many people overlook!! invisibility potions!!! piglins almost hardly detect you(two block distance) when opening chests, and same goes for brutes. Don't attack any of the piglins though then you'll be in trouble (only works without armor on)

Bastion remnants are not too easy because, opening chests will anger piglins (but you can avoid that by using a hopper to collect the chest loot or scaring them with soul light sources), and Piglin brutes which are kinda op.

Thanks mate!

The very first nether portal I fired up in my current world. Opened right on top of a bastion remnant!

Very helpful video. Thanks a lot!

Now I can finally loot one just near my portal😀

Thanks for the tutorial! In my Minecraft world, I’m currently grinding for XP the best I can to get some enchants on my full set of diamond gear just waiting to be used completely untouched. But when I’m feeling a little more adventurous I’ll head through my pre-built nether portal and start searching for a bastion- and when I find one this tutorial should really help! Edit: Oh and since this video is from a year ago, things have changed no longer can you get Netherite gear IN ORDER to go in the bastion, unless you’ve already been to another one because as of 1.20, you need to raid a bastion to get Netherite because of smithing templates making this challenge even harder.

just recently found a tresure bastion and didnt fully explore it just because it looked daunting but i will give it a try with these tips thx!

This helped a lot! Occasionally i managed to mine aroung some mobs. Once I even trapped them kind of in a spot where they could see but not reach me. Easily killed many mobs in one place that way and the area was cleared. Also your tip with the boxes is gold!

Getting into and out of any closed space is pretty easy in Minecraft if you don't mind going slowly. Bring stacks of blocks, tunnel in from the side of the structure instead of walking in the front door, identify carefully where you're trying to go, and protect yourself on all sides with blocks as you creep slowly toward the target. I did this to get nether wart out of a housing bastion, since the only fortress I'd found had no wart. The wart is pretty visible from many places in the bastion, so I got in securely, lined myself up horizontally with the wart, then gradually built a tube of blocks to get me there. Mobs couldn't even see me, much less attack.

"... you can actually do an MLG with scaffolding" so unexpected, made me laugh; good channel, good tips, won a sub

this video is so useful I am so thankful

really helpful i subbed u 👌

Hoglins go into boats for me, glad to see someone else using the boat strat for stuff, i have never seen anyone use it but me.

you are so underrated this guy deserves more subs

ur videos are the most helpful i stg

This is what everyone needs thnx.Your the best

Worked perfectly in my hardcore world except I did pop totem but I’m still going strong. Nice video!!

Thanks for your videos - i hope one day you can make a video for The End / beating the ender dragon. Cheers

Eyecraftmc: Get urself a respawn anchor Me in my Hardcore World: Let me introduce myself

I love this

good video. I will mention though that you left out one thing about bastions, in every bastion I've raided, I've found a hidden chest room randomly tunneling through walls. I usually enter bastions by pillaring up and burrowing into the center. surprisingly, i've burrowed directly into a concealed chest room several times by pure dumb luck. they're usually about 6x6 rooms with a single chest and no path in or out. So you will never see them without tunneling or cheats like spectator mode. not sure it's a feature or a terrain generation bug but they're always there.

I conquered part of a bastion today,it was awesome! .I used a lot of blocks to cover up holes where I could fall .Placed soul torches here and there .Killed every piglin I saw with my bow .Got swarmed by Magma Cubes,had to kill so many till I destroyed the spawner .After the Magma Cubes,I made my way over to the loot 💯🙏🏾🔥 It felt like playing in a stealth level honestly lol

Thanks man

The number of bridge bastions I've been to and I've never noticed the piglin face until you pointed it out. I was too busy looking out for brutes.

My friend and I usually use our Power V bows and try to snipe all the Piglin Brutes from a distance. Even with Netherite armor, those guys can easily kill you in melee combat, especially if there are multiple of them.

Very Helpful! Ive been trying to get all music discs in the game, and I’m only missing 2, one being Pigstep. Ill use the tips for this video to find and loot one. Thanks!

Noice tip in the end. I was curious what those strange block account for.

Tip - you can also bring in any blocks like dirt and make a safe cubby hole, and place your respawn anchor there, along with a back up set of armor and weapons. Maybe not a full set, but you don't want to leave your respawn point naked and defenseless. Shield, definitely, bow or two with infinity and some extra arrows. Food, basic building blocks for making a mobile safety cubby. Using these building blocks can give you a safe place to hide and recover, as you can fall off a 2 or 3 tall high stack of blocks. It's not optimal, but an option. As I type this, I'm standing at my first bastion and I didn't bring any wood or chests. Time to boomerang and grab more prep gear and return and begin the slaughter. Hopefully not mine. Thanks for the tips.

I missed out on upgrading my diamond tools to netherite before 1.20 so now here I am trying to find out how to get the smithing template to upgrade tools

The Nether Update really was one of, if not, the best, updates in the entire history of Minecraft.

The pillar strat with a lava bucket beats pretty much everything.

So helpfull thanks

This helped me get a pigstep disc and netherite scraps

Always bring a lava bucket. And when a mob chases you, run away and place lava in front of them and watch them die in agony. You can also tower up 3 or 4 blocks so that the mob cant reach you, then you can pour lava on the top block which you are standing on, and the mob will burn up. This doesnt anger piglins and gets rid of hoglins and brutes

"Boats and Bows!! Gotta have my Boats and Bows!! 😂😂😂

i like using a lava bucket for combat too, if you pillar up it even saves you arrows

my god, I never realised how cool Bastions are

This video is now going to be useful because it is essential to go to a bastion remnat just to upgrade diamond armor to netherite armor

I came here to learn how to quickly get the best stuff from a bastion. Instead I get a minute of yapping about how a Bridge Bastion looks like a piglin head. I'm not angry, this genuinely made me laugh :)

love these videos keep it up!!❤

I found a a kind of tower like bastion with the good loot on top. Idk which one it is. But it has loads of caves with chests inside. I was busy with exploring these and the piglin brutes are a real pain in the ass in these close quarters. I think of just digging a hole in the ground putting a trapdoor on top and every time one will chase me, I'll walk over the hole and open the trapdoor so he falls in and close the trapdoor.. But I haven't tried this yet with how effective it is.

Peak content. Nether update is still my favorite!

Using a lava bucket is very useful for killing all of the mobs in the bastions. Much more efficient than a nether it’s axe against a brute as well as it keeps them away from you due to the flow of the lava. Also make a safe space in the bastion as well where you can hide.

I like making my tunnels in the nether lined with blackstone bricks. I just realized that all these basions are COMPLETELY made of blackstone. In leveling ever single basion 😂🔥

His channel is the best and it is very explanatory I believe everyone should suscribe

Great guide

I have found a grouping of bastions today. Two housing units, a stable and finally a treasure room one all within a few hundred blocks of eachother

This was useful

New to Minecraft. Thanks to your vids, I guess I got lucky my portal is close to one.

Easiest way I have ever raided the bastions is bunch of long lasting fire resistance potions and Invisibility potions works like a charm just have to watch your step as you are pretty vulnerable without any armor but I have raided alot of bastions with invis potions and Fire potions

as a minecraft player my friends left me in the nether then i had to find a bastion and had no flint n steel but then i found stables bastion then found flint n steel and went back to overworld. it was crazy

Nice job
