Overview
A ruined blackstone fortress in one of four layouts — bridge, hoglin stable, housing units and treasure room — each packed with piglins and, in the treasure variant, piglin brutes that ignore gold armour entirely. Bastions hold the richest loot in the Nether: ancient debris, netherite ingots, gilded blackstone, enchanted books with Soul Speed, and the Pigstep music disc. Wear gold armour before entering, never open a chest or mine gold in front of a piglin, and expect a fight regardless in the treasure room.
