Bastion Remnants are large, dangerous structures that generate naturally in the Nether (except basalt deltas) and are inhabited by piglins, piglin brutes and hoglins. They share the same regional generation space as Nether fortresses, so only one of the two structures appears per region.
There are four Bastion Remnant variants: Hoglin Stable , Housing Units , Treasure Bastion , and Bridge . Each variant has different rooms, layouts and chest placements, but all are built from blackstone, gilded blackstone and polished blackstone, often with magma blocks and lava beneath.
Loot chests inside a Bastion Remnant can contain rare items such as enchanted golden boots with Soul Speed , ancient debris , netherite scrap and netherite ingots , diamonds, gilded blackstone, gold blocks, crossbows, Soul Speed books and the Pigstep music disc. The Treasure Bastion variant has the highest-value central loot room.
Players are attacked on sight by piglin brutes and by any piglin that sees them mining gold blocks or opening chests. Wearing at least one piece of gold armor keeps regular piglins neutral, but brutes always remain hostile, making Bastion Remnants among the toughest structures to raid in survival.
