My friend and I were playing on multiple worlds but could not find nether fortresses for hours, but we could find bastions very easily. This is clearly a big problem.

Nether fortresses are necessary for progression and bastions aren't, so if they would be tweaked so fortresses are equally or more common than bastions that would be very good. As is it is impossible to continue playing in survival since we can never get past the nether.

Thanks.
