Where do bastion remnants spawn?

Bastion remnants are large blackstone ruins in the Nether, home to piglins and hoglins. In Java, each 432 × 432 block region of the Nether holds either a bastion or a nether fortress, and bastions get 3 in 5 of them. They never generate in basalt deltas.

Good to know
  • A bastion has a 3 in 5 (60%) chance per region in Java.
  • Java regions are 432 × 432 blocks with a four-chunk empty strip.
  • Two structures never generate in the same region.
  • There are four types: bridge, hoglin stables, housing units and treasure room.

How to find bastion remnants without a seed map

  1. Travel through the Nether and look for large, dark blackstone walls and towers.
  2. Skip basalt deltas: bastions never generate there.
  3. Use the bastion finder with your seed to get Nether X and Z before you leave the portal.
  4. Expect a fight: piglins, piglin brutes and hoglins guard the bastion.

Java vs Bedrock

Bedrock Edition uses 480 × 480 block regions instead of 432 × 432, and bastions get 2 in 3 of them. Structure positions differ between Java and Bedrock for the same seed; this finder uses Java generation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the command to find a bastion?

Use /locate structure minecraft:bastion_remnant while you are in the Nether in Java Edition.

What are the four bastion types?

Bridge, hoglin stables, housing units and treasure room. Each type has a different layout.

Where do I find a netherite upgrade template?

In bastion remnant loot chests. You need one to upgrade each diamond item to netherite.

Can bastions spawn in basalt deltas?

No. In basalt deltas the region always gets a nether fortress instead.

Does the bastion finder work for Bedrock?

Not yet. Bedrock uses different region sizes, so positions differ. Our Bedrock mode shows biomes only.
