Minecraft Bastion Finder

Find the nearest bastion remnants in your Minecraft world from its seed. Every result is an exact Nether coordinate pinned on the Nether biome map — click one to jump there, copy the coordinates, or grab a ready-made /tp command before you brave the piglins.

Since 1.20, the netherite upgrade smithing template makes bastions unskippable: no template, no netherite gear. Add Pigstep, gold blocks and netherite scrap and a bastion raid is the Nether's best payday — the finder makes sure you spend your time fighting brutes, not searching for the front door.

How to use the bastion finder

  1. Enter your seed — type or paste it into the seed box and press Go. Text seeds work too; they convert to numbers exactly like the in-game seed field.
  2. Match your version — pick the version your world was generated in. Structure positions change between versions, so this matters.
  3. Read the results — the nearest bastions appear in the panel, sorted by distance from the search point, each with exact coordinates.
  4. Jump to a result — click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy its coordinates or a ready-made teleport command. Panned somewhere new? Press Search this area to look around the current view.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a bastion remnant from my seed?
Enter your world seed and the finder lists the nearest bastion remnants with exact Nether coordinates. Click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy the coordinates or a /tp command to use in the Nether.
Where do bastion remnants generate?
In every Nether biome except basalt deltas. The map on this page renders the Nether's biomes, so you can see at a glance whether a bastion sits in a crimson forest, a soul sand valley or somewhere nastier.
What loot do bastions have?
Bastions are the only place to find the Pigstep music disc and — since 1.20 — the netherite upgrade smithing template, which is guaranteed in the treasure room chest. Chests also hold gold, netherite scrap and enchanted gear, guarded by piglins and piglin brutes.
Are these Nether or Overworld coordinates?
Nether coordinates. Horizontal distance in the Nether is compressed 8 to 1 — one block traveled in the Nether equals eight in the Overworld — so multiply X/Z by 8 if you want to line up an Overworld portal above a bastion.
Which versions have bastion remnants?
Bastion remnants were added in Java 1.16 (the Nether Update), so the version selector on this page starts there. From 1.16 on, each Nether placement region generates either a bastion or a fortress — which is why the two never crowd the same spot.
Does the bastion finder work for Bedrock Edition?
Not yet — it supports Java Edition worldgen only. Bedrock worlds generate differently, so a Java result won't match a Bedrock world with the same seed.
