The hopper trick in the bastions is so good. Once you have shulker boxes you could even drain everything into an empty skulker box and never have to open your ender chest.

Best of luck with the Alexlriffs recordings! Keep up with you has been fun, so far. Or trying to as you are a very efficient builder! Excited to see where you take the storage system build. I wonder if this is the same Treasure Bastion that I found on this seed? The Treasure Bastion was found while digging a tunnel back from a Woodland Mansion and a random Trail Ruin site. The former which I found by using a map traded from the cartographer in the acacia village. This version of Minecraft is really exploration focused so this particular map seed has been a blast. Got a little lost on the way to that Manor but found a decent sized Mooshroom Island and two nice coral reefs, too. Plus all the jungle and swamps means that you have some insurance on getting all the best villager types in the experimental villager re-balance.

I still learn new things watching your series. So refreshing! Like using a double chest to evade the gilded blackstone or piglins only get angry when they see you open a chest so just blocking things off can prevent it. Really nice

6mins right after released let’s go favourite season yet. Think of following this for my survival world. Keep up the good vids!!

GREAT VIDEO!! I have always went into the Bastians arrows flying and sword swinging just fighting everything. I have never meticulously picked it apart like you did. I’m going to find a new bastion and do the same thing.!!

Loving this series Pixlriffs. Still managing an episode despite adversity! True dedication. Bed mining, so much fun if you're going after ancient debris next time 😊

Great episode Alex! thanks for filling in for Pix!

thanks for all the super helpful tips! i watched the survival guide season 2 when you did a similar video, and used your techniques to raid a treasure bastion a couple of weeks ago successfully! the lava bucket is really the best with dealing with many many creatures.

You've inspired me to make my first auto sorted storage system. I've had my survival world since late 2021 and my endgame storge has just been a fair amount chests with sulker boxes inside the chest for bulk items which has served me well but I've grown out of it. Your storage video a few days ago gave me the push to finally build a proper storage system. I've dug out a basement underneath my house and I have built all the chests and redstone with 500+ double chests worth of storage (Including barrels and manual chest storage in the corners). All I have left to do is figure out how i want to sort it and add the filters which is going to be tedious (The last 10% is going to take the longest).Thanks for the great videos Pix!

Hey Pixl, Good raid on the Piggy Fortress and good see you can now go to netherite gear. Can't wait to see the "mining for antient debris" eps. Till next eps Cheers

I love when a new vid comes out. I was always wondering about pig Lin bastions, but I feel more confident now.

Loved the random upload❤❤❤

Yesterday i saw your video of automatic kelp smelter from S1 because you had the best minecart loading system. Your tutorials are so good!!!

Nice tutorial Pix. Makes the Bastion seem more doable

Love how you were Alex for the whole video 😂. Thanks for another great episode!

*Ouch* in sounds expensive. Happy that you were able to make a video despite adversity. I really appreciate how you explain everything.

Y'know, I usually just make a texture pack to change Steve or Alex into my skin, in case of internet connection.

Thanks for going the distance for making it work today. I appreciate you.

That initial story is worth the thumbs up without even seeing the tutorial. Good job my friend!

Great video thank you so much, quality work

oooh. As an English teacher I absolutely loved the use of to ride in your sentence 'they can be rode'. I will use it as an example for my pupils just as soon as the next school year starts!

I would never have thought of using a hopper to loot a bastion treasure chest, even though it seems obvious in hind sight. Thanks for the tip!

Finally got pigstep in my current world and Pixlriff’s tips definitely helped. The lava bucket and fire resistance combo is also so satisfying to pull off in a pinch. Almost got cornered by two brutes before I remembered “oh right, I can just burn them”.

wow this was so helpful!, so many tips: Golden piece of armor to prevent hoglin aggro Lava bucket to kill the piglin brutes block line of sight when opening chests to prevent aggro use hopper under chests without gilded blackstone to get loot without aggro turn on subtitles to see the piglin brutes' sounds

So a few days ago I raided a bastion for the first time on a server with a couple friends, and even that was scary as hell - One time I got surprised by a piglin brute and nearly died. Even with good diamond gear I went down to one heart within a few seconds and had to stay in a panic box for a while to get my irl heart to calm down haha xD I honestly doubted if I could raid a bastion alone on my solo world without dying, but your tips in this video were great! I never would've thought to use a lava bucket or hoppers, so thank you! :D That should make the whole thing a bit more manageable, so I might actually try to do it soon-ish.

It's pretty easy to create a resource pack to fix your skin while offline, and I've done it soooo many times in the past. 1. First you create folders with the following names nested into each other : assets\minecraft\textures\entity 2. and inside the last entity folder, you paste your skin file as a png and rename it to steve. you then create a copy of the same skin file and rename it alex. now you should have steve.png and alex.png inside the entity folder. 3. once your done with that, you create a txt file with notepad with the following text : { "pack": { "pack_format": 9, "description": "Custom Skin" } } 4. Then you save the text file in the same folder as the "assets" folder and rename it to "pack.mcmeta". (just make sure you're changing the txt file extension to mcmeta instead of saving the file as pack.mcmeta.txt. if you do that, it simply won't work) 5. Finally you use a software like winRar or similar to create a zip of the files together. you do this by selecting the "assets" folder and the "pack.mcmeta" file at the same time by holding control and then right click and say add to archive, and select zip (don't archive as .rar, it won't work) you can name the zip file whatever you want, it really doesn't matter. Now you have your very own texture pack that you can move inside the "resourcepacks" folder under "%appdata%/.minecraft" that you can enable inside the game to have your skin show up even without being online! Looking forward to seeing your skin back next episode!!!

Another great video. Thank you

Good episode as always

I love how he makes this look so easy.

I've never seen a zombie piglin on a strider before that's pretty neat. My daughter loves the striders so maybe today we will go look for one

When he first showed the storage room pattern I thought Neapolitan and then he said it 😂. I was also thinking the same thing with cherry-crimson-mangrove, and I’ll honestly say I’m not a big fan of the Neapolitan, but I’ll trust your builder’s intuition to see it through here; you never disappoint. Wondering if Cherry-crimson-warped might look good and shake things up…

Ouch. We've got 2 internet providers in case one goes down as we run an internet dependent business from home. I feel your pain with the lack of internet connection. Having a qifi card is definitely a good back=up tho. I was definitely getting Star Wars vibes during that piglin Brute battle... with the burning them in lava, and the "It's over, I have the high ground" 😆

Excellent taste in design, Pix.

The Floor makes me nostalgic and Hungry Ice Cream Sandwiches are still my most liked Ice Cream variant

That squeeze past the endermen gave me chills 😂

looking forward to you making that magma cube spawner into a froglight farm like you did in Empires

My way of looting bastions is to snipe as much piglin brutes as I can with my bow before I enter the structure. When entering the big part, I go from top to bottom by continuing to snipe every piglin I see. (Simply because I don't want to bother with them in any case) And how I open those chests in the first part is simply digging under them and looting the chest from below. They don't realise you opened it that way

Glad you got your internet connection fixed up :)

Going back and watching these videos to catch up and I'm absolutely enthralled by the side story that is "Pixl's misadventures in technical issues"

Hello everyone my name is Alexriffs and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide, i hope you all are having a good day!

Cmon its only twice

Seeing the floor of the storage room makes me want ice cream.

Tip for all the people raiding their first bastion- if you have the iron, you can make iron golems and they’ll protect you against angry piglins. They can really save your bacon (pun intended!)

I love the Neapolitan floor!

I am finally at the point where I can deal with bastions. Not perfectly, and with lots of safety platforms and target practice with the bow, but I am only dying 1 out of every 5 bastion visits. So much better than I used to do. Now that the templates are there, it's too much of a temptation to visit them.

Also I love how your skin defaulted to Alex when your Empires S1 base was “Pixandria”… Alexandria, Pixandria, we’ve come full circle or maybe I’m just geeking out 😂

Hey Pix, wanted to say, you can use your mobile connection with your PC! On Android at least, when you plug your cable in, you should get a notification for connection type, (usually this is where you would enable file sharing), however you need to choose Ethernet, or USB tethering, or whatever it might be called.

No wayy!! I kinda “copied” your house design but I changed the floor/ceiling to have almost the exact same design as the floor for your storage. Did cherrywood in center, then spruce, then dark oak on the edges. I thought the same thing about it looking like icecream but I still like it haha

If you use potions of invisibility and fire resist the whole time, you can quickly lava bucket anyone that detects you. It seems like you can leave some armor on as well while invisible as well.

FWY, if you phone is an android phone, you can tether with USB. going to settings, connections, tethering or sharing (depending on brand), then there should be a toggle for "USB tethering" (as long as you have a USB cable connected to your PC. also, generic USB Wi-Fi dongles do exist on amazon or another local retailer.

You don't necessarily need a wifi component to connect your pc. You can use a usb cable and use usb tethering directly from the phone

I wish I seen this video. Playing Minecraft after years of not playing is so different. I stumbled upon this in the nether and got 2 shot by a pig. I was so confused

I don't know if someone else has been mentioned this already or not but you can connect your mobile phone to your PC with a cable and in settings of your phone (It should be on Hotspot settings) you can enable USB thetring and use your internet from phone on the pc

LAVA BUCKET ftw! Unfortunately for piggies in my bastion, I just lava bucket every living soul in the bastion. 😂

Mom, Pix already post a new episode!!!

This is good 👍

Huh--I never would have used a hopper to cheat the piglins!

as a suggestion to help with lag of the hoppers put composters on top of hoppers to minimize lag

I raided a bastion recently, and I did it full mission impossible style, stealthily taking down all the piglins and the brutes floor by floor with my bow until I had an empty bastion, I even made a skin for that with a night vision goggles and all

Minute 5:02 Interesting. In the US, it's called _Neapolitan ice cream._ I haven't known that. It's new for me. *ì(ÓûÓ)í* I live in Germany, and there it is called _Fürst-Pückler-Eis._ *(c:*

18:43 "It's over Piglin Brute, I have the high ground!" Should have dumped a bucket of lava on him anyways just to complete the reference... :)

I usually go for a full stealth mission, sniping everything from afar. Never considered the lava bucket. Though I'd probably set myself on fire at some point and I'd still want the regular piglins gone anyway.

BIG FAN SIR 😎😎

Mmm... the floor on the Storage Room looks like Neapolitan ice cream. 😋

*Burns piglin brute in lava and hits it down stairs* Pixilriffs- "It's over piglin I have the high-ground" Piglin brute- "I hate you!!!!"

What would be good is on hardcore mode, the brutes have a 10% chance of spawning in enchanted netherite armour or carrying a netherite axe enchanted with Smite IV. This would encourage brave players to engage these dangerous mobs in hand to hand combat. Using looting however does not increase the chance of netherite drops, this would remain 10% and there is also a 50% chance any netherite items would be cursed as well, just to switch it up a bit.

Your honour, it was the lava!

My trick to treasure bastions was to open the right up, and then fly out whenever things got too hairy.

I mean, if you're stuck with a default skin for a bit, at least Alexriffs rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

My game is so strange. I had my ocean monument in my spawn chunk without the structure generated. Just the bounding box. I found out by seeing wierd creatures like fish in the water. Had to dig it out but no harm. Same with my treasure bastion next to my spawn base. It's in the delta. So only piglin brutes I had to fight and since then it's empty. Only the magma spawner is there to make some frog lights.❤

The higher ground 😂

I loved Neapolitan ice cream

My first treasure bastion that i just defeated spawned in a crimson forest. So I had hoglins spawning in everywhere

If you don't already have your wifi fixed, it might be helpful to note that many phones can use USB wifi tethering, where you connect to the wifi through your phone by plugging it into your computer's USB port. I hope this helps if you don't have your internet back yet.

I always assumed that the Piglins took over the structures of a more advanced society. Lightning turns pigs into Zombified Piglins in the overworld, so perhaps lightning in the Nether creates Piglins. The Bastions may have been built by the same people who built the ancient cities. Perhaps they accidentally created the Piglin race and the Wither to deal with them. They thought they were making a Nether version of the iron golem, but created a monster. They fled the Nether to escape the Wither, leaving the Piglins to occupy the Bastions. I assume that the Wither Skeletons and Blazes are the original inhabitants of the Nether. The ancient people built cities deep underground to try to escape detection by the Wither and eventually summoned the Warden out of desperation. The Warden killed the Wither, breaking the ancient city portal in the process. The residents of the ancient cities became trapped by the warden and the skulk machines/creatures. They were hunted down until they all died. 34:28 I swear I thought you were about to say that the real treasure is the friends we made along the way...

Hi Alex! Ugh my thing makes me Alex too

Hi Pix, I don't have a wifi component in my pc but I can tether it through a USB to my android phone, it just takes a bit of jiggery pokery, hope your cable gets fixed soon!

When my son and I took on the Piglin Bastion, we built a bunch of boats around the boarder of the bastion and then let them get mad at us. When they came at us, they got stuck in the boats. Then we went around them and looted the bastion.

this sounds.. so strange to me. I KNOW I've played minecraft offline without internet connection on multiple occasions and I always had my own skin, no issue. but that was a few years back, so maybe something changed since then?.. still, I'm baffled you weren't able to use your skin without access to the internet. :o

Just as a tip, there are ISPs in the UK (Ill not advertise them here) that have a 4G fallback

The last time I raided a bastion I just went in "Guns Blazin" style, sniping pigs & swinging my sword in panik and I somehow didn't die... To each their own methods I guess 😅
