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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

It's funny how these are now mandatory to gain netherite tools

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.

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

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.

0:00 End City loot puts up a firm competition

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.

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