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. Compatibility
