What does your Minecraft base say about you?

[dancinginfernal]

It says that I'm a bad architect.

I live in a hideous castle, because my resources aren't substantial enough for me to build the underground city I wanted to.

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

One big castle as the centerpiece of my empire, ontop of a big ass hill/mountain, with a tunnel that goes deep down, which spreads out into more tunnels to other bases around the world.

 

[Eijarel]

My first, base was a huge tower, connected by a 2 floor passage to a mine, where every couple levels i would lay properly constructed safe zones, built on the style of underground labs
also i like using only clean stone to build my tower, cobblestone looks ugly.

 

[Quala]

My current world's main bases are a humble little cave with a main room and a bedroom and nothing else, and just outside an underwater bunker type thing with a glass roof.

I guess it says that i got bored and made an underwater bunker type thing, I'm really not sure.

On my last world though, i had a mansion on atop a desert mountain, complete with a work room, winding stairwell, art gallery, bath room, and a near complete library that even had a huge chair. Then dying a few times and a bunch of creepers and spiders caused yet another rage quit.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

My minecraft classic saves say that I don't have access to a credit card.

I've built a couple of castles, an underwater base, complete with water filled tubes for elevators, a cloud city, and a dwarven city, with hidden exits.

The problem with my minecraft constructions is they always seem really empty and lonely, as there are no characters using them. The world is completely deserted.

 

[E-Penguin]

I only have one main base, and it's small with two chests, a furnace and a workbench. The only really unique thing I do is my obsession with giving any room that I can a glass roof. I just like the natural light I guess.
I guess it says that i'm unadventureous and I like to keep things close at hand.

Also, since we're talking about Minecraft, can someone please link me to that program that works out a map of what you've explored in the world? I've been searching the forums for it for a few days and I cant find it.

Here you go!

I make cave homes but replace the stone with wood then I make fireplaces

 

[Custard_Angel]

A 15x15 tower that extends from sea level to the top of the map world. 16 floors + plus the rooftop (which has swimming pool at the very top, extending into the floor below with glass.

On each alternating floor starting from floor 2 there is a walkway extending around the tower complete with battlements. The roof has the same battlement/walkway arrangement, but has a second battlement walkway slightly lower than the first.

Each floor has redstone circuitry extending right around the room, lit by several redstone torches. The battlement levels also have this circuitry following around the pathway.

There are 2 3x3 type spiral staircases in the rear corners which extend to the very highest point of the tower.

Hundreds of torches line the inside and outside of the tower ensuring every inch of the tower is well illuminated at all times.

There used to be a small forest of trees surrounding the castle, but I eventually cut them all down and replaced the soil with cobblestone to create a courtyard. The courtyard took up more space than was originally available, so the tower now compromises the entirety of an island unconnected to the mainland. The courtyard has battlements too.

Under the tower is an enormous mine extending to bedrock, just above which I am currently constructing an enormous monster trap (100x100 in size, all carved 10 or so squares above bed rock). The trap itself is intended as a drowning trap, but I'm considering how I can implement a lava blade into the design for efficiency reasons.

Outside of the tower I have a glass underwater fort accessible by boat that I was constructing before I started my monster trap. At present there are 2 levels, the first 10x10 and the second 20x20 with an adjoining 20x30 long hall. I'll continue construction after the monster trap is complete.

I also have a few smaller projects including a greenhouse where I grow wheat, a cactus maze, and some experimental logic gates that I have recently started (I recently got a random logic gate to work, which I'm quite proud of).

In real life I live in a small room and even if I had piles of cash, I'd just buy a nicer small room with better stuff in it.

So... My Minecraft base says that I like to waste time on a computer I guess.

Not much more.

 

[scully745]

I always start in a cave, and then extend from there once I get enough cobble stone to make something large enough to live in. Probably because I can't be bothered making a proper castle, and theres less danger inside. Less Creepers at least, and they cant jump out from behind you in a cave.

 

[Megawat22]

I like building houses in the side of cliffs overlooking a nice view.
Only problem is I'm fussy as hell. The cliff area has to be elevated or I won't bother, the part of the cliff I build into has to be fairly large and big enough for an upstairs area and it has to be close to my mining area.
If anyone's seen Kevin1811's (zNoxRegretzxzx is his youtube name I believe) Minecraft LP the area he builds his first house is pretty much my dream spot.

 

[BabySinclair]

Underwater glass bunker connected to the surface with a flooded vertical shaft to a lighthouse in the middle water and a dry shaft leading to a lit tree farm that is also on the water and blocked off. Mine shaft leads down with boat shaft for round trip and gate to nether is blocked with two sets of doors.

I'm paranoid and concerned for my security.

 

[Sicram]

I build with glass... and LOTS of it. Either a glass tower or a glass base in a mountain or better yet, when there's a natural "bridge" between mountains I build a "hanging" glass base there. Even among my friends I'm know to be nuts about glass.

I guess I like to be able to see EVERYTHING... or in worst case as much as possible. Then again, I have a light case of control neurosis

Also, it looks the most modern, I'm a sucker for sci-fi.

 

[Count Igor]

I have a kingdom inside a mountain, but then build massive walls outside, often connected to the sea, with TNT traps everywhere in the tunnels..
One must tread carefully!

Hey! that mod looks awesome! Which one is that?
How much gold did that take? dang.

It is the John Smith Texture Pack [http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29164], and it also uses 32x32 tiles instead of 16x16 (patch is linked on the previous linked page). The track has boost rail every 6th (or maybe 7th) rail, so it will get you all the way there, but also not waste a ton of gold. Think I may have used 24 pieces, but I still need 3 more pieces of powered rails to finish it off. :/

 

[Deathlisk]

Well, if you took a tour in my base you would see that I am quite obsessed with making things symetrical, only stopping when I have to or leaving a sign that says "symmetry stops here".
My current house has a nice basement and a ton of floors. I think I'm at the seventh floor now.

 

[concrete89]

A cozy little hobbit-hole, surrounded by an idyllic garden, surrounded by a twenty feet wall that is on fire, surrounded by lava.
This thingis the hub in a network of roads, leading outto my imortal pieces of art, such as "Huge Dude Whose head is on fire", "Endless Sand-And-Cactus-Deathwheel", "Cozy Lava Cottage", "The ethernally puking pigbeast", and my personal favorite, "Flower Garden Surprise"

 

[norwegian-guy]

I like to build big. Really big. Like flying fortresses and castles that reach the sky. I just like to build something epic and minecraft allows me to do so.
