Minecraft Bastion Finder
Enter your Java seed and version to see the nearest bastion remnants with Nether coordinates and a ready /tp command. Confirm with /locate structure minecraft:bastion_remnant in the Nether of a test world before you go.
Predicted from world generation. Confirm with /locate structure minecraft:bastion_remnant before a long trip. Found in the Nether.
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.
How to find bastion remnants without a seed map
- Travel through the Nether and look for large, dark blackstone walls and towers.
- Skip basalt deltas: bastions never generate there.
- Use the bastion finder with your seed to get Nether X and Z before you leave the portal.
- Expect a fight: piglins, piglin brutes and hoglins guard the bastion.
