Now rotate the camera, and keep an eye on the E value.Next, you use the E value to pinpoint the direction of the Bastion.If E2 is lower than M+C, you need to look elsewhere because there are no Bastions close. Because Piglins count as permanent hostile mobs, it means there is potentially a high amount of them in the surrounding chunks.If E2 is around 30, there is one Bastion, if it’s closer to 60 there could be two. Now, look around the Nether realm while focusing on the 4 values.If the value of E2 is larger or equal to M + C, it means there should be a Bastion in your local area.This is because Bastions spawn with around 30 Piglins.This zooms in your view to the maximum value. Open the options menu, and slide the FOV setting fully right.C – Total amount of creatures in the world.M – The amount of permanent hostile mobs in surrounding chunks.E2 – The number of entities currently loaded in surrounding chunks.E – The total amount of entities within your FOV, even through walls.There are 4 different values that you need to interpret.

At first, you might feel like you just entered the matrix – but it’s easier to understand than it looks. By shrinking your FOV (field of view) to the smallest, you can essentially “snipe” the location of Bastions through walls. The tip is to use Minecraft’s debug screen, which shows a range of statistical information that can give you clues to find a Bastion. Although this mechanic is built into the game and works in standard survival mode – it’s even accepted in the very strict Minecraft speedrunning community. This method is the “roleplaying” method, however, if you want a bit of a techy trick, try this… The Secret Trick for Finding Nether Bastionsĭepending on your values, this could be considered cheating. You should also look for a large concentration of Piglins or Piglin brutes, as they sometimes walk out of the Bastion and patrol the surrounding area. Alternatively, you can change your field of view in the options to zoom in or out.

Using a spyglass can help by giving you longer vision. It’s generally easier to spot these structures in open terrain, rather than in tighter biomes, or digging.
