How to get a Snout Banner Pattern in Survival Mode

You can add a Snout banner pattern to your inventory in Survival mode by finding one in the Nether. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Bastion Remnant

First, let's explore where to find a Snout banner pattern. In Minecraft, a Snout banner pattern is only found in the Bastion Remnant in the Nether dimension. So you will need to find a Bastion Remnant to explore.

If you haven't been to the Nether you need to build a nether portal to take you to the Nether dimension.

2. Find a Chest

Inside the Bastion Remnant, look for a chest. There may be many chests hidden within and each chest will contain different items. In this example, we have found a large chest.

3. Open the Chest

When you find a chest in the Bastion Remnant, you need to open it to see what is inside.

If you are lucky, you will find a Snout banner pattern inside but there is only a very small chance!! So keep looking if you don't find one right away.

Make sure you move the Snout banner pattern to your inventory.
