The refuge remains is a new nether cousin to the trail ruins. It is found at the very bottom of soul sand valleys and is filled with suspicious gravel with nether brick pottery sherds and other loot such as ancient debris and diamonds.
This structure contains 9 nether brick pottery sherds: “crop”, “detection”, “escape”, “flame”, “mount”, “portal”, “sorrow”, “spirit”, and “swirl”. if the armor trim addon is installed, then the “Interloper” trim can also be found here.

The top of the refuge remains peeking out from the lava. What could be down there?
