Tutorials/Defeating a bastion remnant

Defeating a bastion remnant allows the player to obtain many loot, including valuable gold items, the Pigstep music disc, and the Snout Banner Pattern. Due to having Magma Cube spawners, bastion remnants also provide a good source of Magma Cream.

What to bring

 * 1) Strong, durable armor of at least iron tier.
 * 2) At least one piece of golden armor if you don't want piglins to aggravate.
 * 3) A sword and tools of at least iron tier.
 * 4) Food with high-enough saturation and food point restoration. Golden apples (optional) can heal the player quickly.
 * 5) Potions can improve combat. Fire Resistance is incredibly useful, and can be obtained by simply bartering with piglins. (optional)
 * 6) At least one shield, as they can prevent taking damage.
 * 7) Soul torches or other soul-fire items can be used to scare piglins. (optional)
 * 8) Bring some Logs and/or planks to craft boats, which will be very useful against piglin brutes and melee piglins (see next section)
 * 9) Expendable blocks you can easily obtain, place, and break. Good examples include dirt, cobblestone, and netherrack.
 * 10) TNT(optional), and a button (not flint and steel) to light the tnt.
 * 11) Hoppers(optional)

Piglin Brutes
Piglin brutes are very tough mobs to engage in combat, due to their high health and damage. Here are some tips and tricks to easily overcome them:

3-block tall pillar
When piglin brutes are rushing towards you, and there is no low ceiling, you may want to pillar up 3 blocks. Standing on a 3 block tall column will allow you to safely attack the piglin brutes while they are unable to reach you.

Boats
When piglin brutes are rushing towards you, you can simply place boats in front of their pathfinding. If you do this correctly, the piglin brutes will enter the boats while running towards you. Once they are in the boats, they are stuck; they are unable to exit or break the boats. You still do not want to go to close to the boats, as the piglin brutes will still attack players near them.

Piglins
There are many ways to overcome piglins. Here is a list:


 *  Wear at least 1 piece of Gold Armor.  This stops the piglins from being naturally hostile and allows you to travel safely through the bastion (with the exception of piglin brutes in which if they see you, all the other piglins become hostile.)
 * 3-block tall pillar (works best for melee piglins)
 * Boats (works best for melee piglins)
 * Distraction by dropping golden items
 * Taking advantage of their fears by placing soul torches, or using other soul fire.
 * To prevent angering the piglins:
 * Using TNT. However, don't light up the TNT with any tool, where the game knows that you lit up the TNT (Don't use flint and steel or fire charges, as that can anger piglins if they take damage). Instead, use buttons to light up the TNT, as the piglins will not get angry at you for hurting them that way.
 * Placing hoppers under their chests.
 * For crossbow wielding piglins, you might want to do traditional ranged combat by simply shooting at them with bows and crossbows. Because shields reduce 100% of the damage if used correctly, these are incredibly essential.

Hoglins
Hoglins don't appear in bastion remnants too often, neither do they respawn in them once killed. Keep these in mind when fighting them:


 * Hoglins can attack from a 3 block tall pillar, but not a 4 block tall pillar. Because you cannot hit them from 4 blocks, you can still shoot them.
 * Piglins will never hunt any hoglins generated in bastion remnants. Don't rely on piglins to kill the hoglins for you.
 * It is extremely hard for hoglins to get in boats. Instead, take advantage of the fact they can't fit through 1 block wide spaces.

Magma Cubes
These can come from spawners hanging from chains over lava these are very hard to reach and the cubes can knock you into lava. Although breaking these spawners work and protect you, the problem is that you can no longer use them for magma cream farms.
