What does your Minecraft base say about you?

[Morbid_Myths]

After looking at the way I build, I'd say parasite.
My single player base started as a double door built into a cliff at the back of a cove. Now there is no cove. Just a fortress. Also a pit to the bottom of the map...with a glass roof over it, which doubles as a floor for my fortress.

I haven't actually played Minecraft, but if I did, I would build a sprawling underground base, with a large portion above ground, but the above ground part is basically the inside of a mountain, and the only entrance is through the underground, a fair distance away. That is my dream.

It sounds more awesome than it does practical...

I have a firend who builds bases like that. Makes more sense than you think, makes it harder for enemies to find your actual base, since they are attracted to light.

An apartment building made out of brick. Me and my friends have a place each in it.

I like doing projects with people. If your not working togther you might as well play singleplayer.

How the hell do you find enough clay?

I'm generally a fan of giant underwater domes that I get grass to. No idea what it means about me - I like how it looks from above.

oooh, I like that. Mind if I use that? Also, how do you get the water out of the dome? I can't think of any way that wouldn't drown me.

I don't really build bases. I have maybe a 10x10x7 wooden hut where I keep my chests/workbench/furnace, but apart from that, i do not touch the surface. At all. Everything i do is underground. My current project is to make the ground one block thick for a couple of chunks (dig anywhere, and you fall into bedrock) I have no idea what that says about me.

I've thought of doing that, but seems like too much work. Would be cool, though.

well, to get water out of a dome, theres a couple of ways to do it. one is to build an outline of your desired base out of dirt or whatever, cover it in glass, dig under it, and mine out the stuff you outlined your base with. my idea would be to just decide on a height, pile sand that high in a rough shape of what your central dome area will be, cover it in glass, then dig down in the sand and just expand it from the bottom, breaking the glass and plugging leaks, since only flows will go into yer dome, not source blocks.

but this is hardly my area of expertise, ive only fancied it, not actually done it. and thinking about it, you should probably outline in sandstone with just enough glass so you can keep an idea of how it looks from the inside.

 

[Quassimodo]

well this is my base as it stands right now.

what this says about me i dont know

 

[angry_flashlight]

It began as a cobblestone 6 level structure that held my bed on the 5th with a garden of trees on the 6th. 1st floor lead to the workshop and mines. Began construction on massive suspended dirt road, ~10 blocks wide, leading from my tower's second floor to my spawn. Lit it up with several hundred torches to act as a night-time animal spawn. Began construction on add on portion that juts out from the 3rd floor and goes to the high cap. Put in a practical waterslide (top straight to the bottom) and then a fun glass waterslide that spirals around me tower into my fields.

Added second portion to dirt road that lead to a shaft that goes down to my underground castle with a lava moat at the lowest point in the world.

Built stone boat (ha!) in nearby water for no apparent reason and serves no real purpose other than looking cool.

Currently building Zeppelin made out of wood planks and various coloured Wools for the balloon.

What does this say about me? I like impressive things of an assorted variety? I must find new projects? I just like building things for the sake of building things? Yeah, probably the last one.

 

[GraveeKing]

My current minecraft base says one thing about me:
Everything I do is pointlessly long winded and complex and could be done much more efficiently and easily

 

[Sejs Cube]

What my Minecraft base says about me as a person is "this person apparently does not play Minecraft".

 

[wynnsora]

All of my rooms are at least three spaces high, I have lots of rooms but nothing in them, have paths to get to other islands nearby and have the beginnings of an outpost at around the level diamonds start being found.

To me? It's that I keep putting to mind getting stuff done and forget to get around to it. I tell myself all the time "I'll decorate this room like this!" and then never do it. I have accomplished much and have many materials but almost no use for them as I stick to some of the lower grade one's for the most part saving the diamonds for just in case situations. The issue being I have enough to make at least three diamond blocks and have some to spare. Even further three spaces high seems like way too much space but I get claustrophobic in two space high tunnels for some reason. I don't have claustrophobia, that's the weird part.

 

[krazyzebra]

Last save i had i had about 5 bases conencted by glass tunel railways. all with lava for light usally made out of iron blocks and Lapis Lazuli blocks. i had secret underground bases beneath them all with hidden tunels, dead ends , and more secret bases off of them. one was an underwater dome, one was a tower, another was a town with two walls an outer wall and an inner wall, another was another tower with lava flowing down it into pits, and the last one was an attempt at a spaceship. Outside of these bases i had many land mines and sea mines. I don't now what that says about me.


(you might have noticed it is all in the past tense. This is because i blew it all up.)

 

[Kyle Roberts]

Well i got two worlds so:
World 1:
Its a wood house with 4 floors 3 bedrooms a pegasus horse stable monorail cart to my creeper statue penthouse 1 bathroom a kitchen extra rooms for no reson a secret planning bunker a cactus defense a underground panic room a church with a portal to the nether.
Nether house:
1 bed 2 panic bunkers a bar (no idea why) and a guard tower.
Creeper penthouse:
Right foot is a dog house for my wolf left is the entrance the top body is a Small bedroom followed by a big penthouse with a sofa and fireplace a king sized bed a food dispenser a Study with a few book cases and a monorail to my main house.
World 2:
A island fully illuminated along with a bridge to the main island the house is underwater with 2 bedrooms and a fireplace with a escape hatch to the surface a crop farm another church with yet another portal and a mine with a campfire.

If you haven't noticed mine is i like to build. Alot

 

[Brainsaw]

Mine says that given half a chance I will construct a giant obsidian (yes, slow as hell to make) doom castle on top of a floating island and subsequently be surprised when a large pine forest goes up in smoke because I completely forgot to check where the unending lava flows coming off my floating castle-isle would touch down.

 

[winginson]

World 1 - A small log cabin on top of a large mountian, with a huge basement dungeon.

World 2 - Nomad mainly with several large navigational towers. The number of lava blocks on top tells me which tower it is and the torches on the side tell me which way I am facing. Each tower is well defended and has a bed.

World 3 - A small underwater house with a nether portal. Found two huge mountains close to the draw distance apart from eachother and built a perfectly straight one block wide bridge between them. Built a large (for me) symetrical castle at the exact mid point. Castle has a nether portal and is lit by lava lamps. (Why do all my maps never have enough lava?)

 

[Xaio30]

Massive multi-leveled tower with traps on the first five floors and then barracks, storage, personal quarters, tree-farm, and a wheat farm at the top.

I'm a sly and cunning Wizard.

 

[Brightzide]

I like to build glass forts in the ocean. Very long winded to make, but very pretty and rewarding. And maybe just maybe that reflects me as a person...I want everyone to see me ( through the glass lets say ), but I want to be left alone ( out at sea see? ), but I also want them all to know I am superior ( by having a fuck-off fort in the middle of the sea made of glass perhaps? )...yeah that's me right there

 

[Subbies]

That I'm a really lazy ass, oh and also tnt.

 

[oden636]

Kleptomaniac. Im the Noah of minecraft blocks.
I have several random "Bases" including one in a lava mountain and a shack that floats on the water. Also have a load of traps for threats that only i ever fall into.
Probably says something about how paranoid i am =S

 

[Maverick Dorotheo]

First built a wooden house with glass windows but it's only one floor. I then made a signal tower, lighted the inside with a lavafall and placed netherrack on the top and lighted it. I then dug to the bedrock, found a lava lake, then started building an obsidian house. Just getting started on the second floor. Found a "Turn redstone to obsidian" video to help collect more obsidian. Clay is nowhere to be found near my base.

I think I'm one of those "Great plans, limited resources" types. Maybe.

Planning on doing Quarry mine and making that my third base.

 

[seamusotorain]

I'm generally a fan of giant underwater domes that I get grass to. No idea what it means about me - I like how it looks from above.

I like to make gardens and waterfalls and the like.

 

[snagli]

I always build really high towers made of cobblestone or smoothstone, with few windows, one entrance, lava or water oozing out, single stairs with no safety rails that lead up to the main platform at the top, that's about 4-5 time broader than the rest of the tower. There, the actual stuff is, like my house where my tools are (the entire tower is pretty much empty), a swimming pool and some crop/cactus/sugar cane farms.


What all this says about me? I guess that I never let people get real close to me, or at least give them a hard time. To be honest i don't think that's the case with me, but still. It could also just mean I like being ridiculous and slightly sadistic, as there is also a small room with a window in the perfect position to watch people fall to their deaths.

 

[Jovlo]

I found myself spawning in some kind of desert with big stone canyon-like structures in it.
One of the biggest structures had a small opening with a waterfall coming out of it.
I started making that opening bigger and eventually I hollowed the entire structure out.

That hollow rock slowly turned my castle. It has a living room with fireplace, a kitchen, a bedroom with a skylight above the bed, a bathroom with bath/shower and a toilet (a block of wool, you need some imagination) and a library. On top of the castle I've built crenelations and two watchtowers, and there's a garden with grass, flowers, trees and a fountain. That fountain flows over the wall, all the way down into the moat I've dug around the castle. The original waterfall also ends in the moat and is used as my trash chute. I've been turning the desert around my castle in lush farmland and forest.

This tells about me that I like to work with what is given by nature and improve it.
My love for building gardens and fountains must have something to do with the agricultural engineer in me.

 

[Sacman]

That I might be a hand fetishist... that is if hands were 20 stories tall and spewed lava from the fingertips...<.<
