Crying obsidian can be used for respawn anchors and decorationį) Bone blocks – a good source of bone meal Yes, it can be quite easily farmed automatically with the wither, but getting enough wither skeleton skulls can be problematic. Bastions contain A LOT of gold.ĭ) Blackstone and its variants – blackstone, polished blackstone and blackstone bricks are great building blocksĮ) Obsidian – very useful for large portals used in some farms. Fast travel in Soul Sand Valleys is also very good, although using an elytra is even fasterĬ) Gold – it might not be very useful in Minecraft, but gold can be used for trading/bartering, decoration or just collecting for fun. On average, I’ve found roughly 2 ancient debris / netherite scraps per bastion.ī) Soul Speed enchantment – it’s amazing if you build some roads made of soul sand/soul soil (they can be covered with slabs to look better), you can move extremely fast on them with Soul Speed III. Sure, you can just go mining, but it’s incredibly tedious and doesn’t give you that much ancient debris (unless you’re very lucky or you’ve built a World Eater or something). These things are:Ī) Netherite (ancient debris, netherite scraps, netherite ingots) – in my opinion, bastions are the best source of netherite. There are some thing that can only be found in bastion remnants, but there are also some things that bastions are (one of) the best source of. For the less favorable terrain, have a lot of blocks for ravines and a good pickaxe for dead ends, so you can tunnel through netherrack quickly. If you don’t have it yet, then a saddled strider with a warped fungus on a stick works pretty well on these large lava lakes. I strongly recommend an elytra with some fireworks. I’m talking about the uneven terrain - dead ends, hills and ravines. Navigating the Nether is a pretty miserable experience and I’m not talking about the abundance of lava and aggressive mobs. You can also just fly/run around the nether randomly, but it’s not very effective – it’s dangerous, takes a lot of time and bastions are often covered in netherrack (or similar blocks), so they can be difficult to find. The best way to locate a bastion is to use a seed map app on ChunkBase. However, if even a tiny part of the structure is located in a valid biome, then the rest can be inside of a basalt delta (and that can be a huge pain in the ass, believe me). The mobs that can be found inside are mainly piglins, piglin brutes and hoglins, but occasionally you can find mobs specific to the Nether biome that the bastion is located in (zombified piglins, skeletons, Endermen, magma cubes).īastions can spawn in every biome except basalt deltas.

What are bastions and how to find them?īastions (or, more precisely, bastion remnants) are huge structures found in the Nether, made primarily out of blackstone and blackstone bricks.

What are the dangers and how to deal with them?.What are bastions and how to find them?.

I strongly recommend watching my four Bastion Looting Route Guides, since many things are best explained by showing them (I plan to post them here over the course of the next few weeks). I’m playing on Java Edition, but as far as I know, regarding bastions, Bedrock Edition has only slightly different loot pools. I haven’t found a comprehensive guide for bastion looting that is not aimed at speedrunners, so I wanted to share my knowledge of these structures. In this time, I’ve conquered around three hundred of them. I’ve been looting piglin bastions for a few years. Hi, I’m TooMuch (short for „toomuchinvigilation”).
