Minecraft wiki entry for Defeating_a_bastion_remnant, associated text: When piglin brutes are rushing towards you, and there is no low ceiling, you may want to pillar up 3 blocks. Standing on a 3 block tall column will allow you to safely attack the piglin brutes while they are unable to reach you. When doing this, you must make sure there are no piglins with crossbows in the vicinity as they can shoot you off your pillar and into the hands of the piglin brute. You can also pour lava on top of enemies to kill them. If you have a lava bucket, try to drown the piglin brute(s) in lava, as they aren't immune to fire.
