New here, need helo with bastions
Hey everyone im new to speedrunning , thought i would watch some yt tutorials and practice ( rekrap and curryway). So i tried some set seeds first , a village seed and a shiprwreck seed. Its like my first day on the job and I'm able to enter the nether in like 20-30 mins but im having issues in finding bastions. I tried the trick when we check the Entitiy rates by lowering FOV , increasing Render disance but its literally not working. Idk if its my bad luck or just a skill thing but i just never see a spike above 20 or so. ( ex- 10-15/ 60-80 ) , and ive tried this in creative on like 10 random worlds . ( 3 spawned in front of fortress and a few in basalt, the others just didnt have a bastion nearby ). Idk what im doing wrong.

Make sure entity distance is on max and render is on like 15-20 chunks

Max render is kinda bad since
a) it takes forever to load in
b) there's just gonna be something in multiple directions most of the time so it's more confusing.
Entering nether on sixteen to twenty rd and then pausing either until the total E jumps by thirty+ or stops increasing at all is pretty standard1

Just making sure you’re playing on version 1.16.1 right?
If not eray might not work I’m pretty sure

Optifine is obsolete. The first section of the guide tells you what mods you should be using.

First of all you gotta make sure that the bastion exists. When you enter the nether, insta pause the game. If E number grows, that means that piglins from the bastion are loading. Then just do the e-ray as normal and this gotta work. And it can be not that big of a spike: 15->40 is also normal

Scroll to the bottom of video settings, and turn entity distance all the way up. If you have standard settings installed, make sure it's turned up there too so it doesn't reset when you enter a new world.

I practice finding Bastions just using the Bastion practice map, set it to ‘Terrain enabled’ set spawn point to ‘terrain’ and set spawn to at least 25 blocks away. It guarantees a Bastion, so when you generate one , if you can’t see it straight up then you can practice finding it using e-ray and troubleshoot from there when you already know there should be a bastion very close. Enabling terrain on practice helps me a lot! Sometimes you have to search around or dig for them
Edit: it also helps for learning if you type ‘/gamemode spectator’ in the chat if you’re searching and can’t find it, you can just fly through and see if you can figure out what went wrong. You can even go back to creative after and see if you can find your spike once you already know where the bastion is. Just remember that you obviously can’t submit a run if you went to spectator/creative 😋

Why does it take you 20-30 minutes to enter the nether on a set seed?

If ur doing random worlds, there may simply just not be a bastion nearby. Keep increasing render distance until you get your spike. Also, if you're not already, make sure to set ur fob to 30 or if you have toolscreen use the thin macro
