Classic Bastions Brings bastion remnants and piglin bartering back to how they felt in the 1.16 Nether Update , before piglin brutes and the ender pearl bartering nerf. What it changes Better ender pearl bartering odds — restores the original 1.16.1 rate (~4.2% chance, 4–8 pearls per trade) instead of the current nerfed rate, so bartering for pearls actually feels worth it again. No more piglin brutes — every piglin brute is automatically replaced with two regular piglins the moment it spawns. More piglins in bastions — since brutes get swapped for piglins instead of just removed, bastions end up noticeably more piglin-dense, closer to the classic 1.16 feel. Why The Nether Update's later patches quietly cut pearl bartering rates in half and added piglin brutes as tough, non-barterable guards. This datapack undoes both changes for anyone who prefers the original, more generous, more chaotic-in-a-good-way bastion experience.
