What does your Minecraft base say about you?

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

My bases are simple and temporary. They serve as simple shelters against zombies. With the occasional mining tunnel system.

I guess this means that I am completely lacking ambition and my life is without any kind of long-term purpose or goal. Which is pretty much true.

Mine is a hollowed out mountain. It says, I have too much time on my hands.

I never build any massive towers, apart from my initial spawn point where it always serves as a landmark/beacon for navigational purposes. Most of my bases are meant to be a little different. I'm halfway through building an underwater pineapple, for instance. My last base was a galleon based on a floating island.

Walls, doors, tunnels, escape routes, cannons, concentric castle structure, hidden safe houses, iron bunkers... I think it says both that I am paranoid and that I have too much time on my hands.

A really nice house with brick walls, several extension rooms, decoration and a greenhouse with wheat and sugar cane...

... Not sure what that says of me, that I secretly desire a modest life maybe? :p

I go big. REALLY big. My private server is a 100x100 arcology basically dropped onto the terrain. Its base conforms to the contours of the land around it, but it goes up almost to the very top of the level.

The outer wall is going to be covered in a coating of obsidian and the interior has about 6 stories of stuff. Its not a castle, its an arcology. The center is a "park" of sorts. The idea of this is to never HAVE to venture outside my base.

This says that I don't like little projects, I like plugging away until I've created something truly worthwhile? That or I'm compensating for a tiny penis.

edit: picture?

My first house was typical, a wooden home. Though i designed it with a second story and large elegent glass windows in the 2nd story bedroom. Then i built an underground tunnel that leads to a tower sticking out of a mountain with a air-boat (non-functional), with a nethergate built on top. Then ontp a passage way that leads to a staircase coming out of a mountain and leading to my currently under constrution sky-castle upon a staircase enclosed by glass all the way up...


Hmm, i wonder what that says about me?

Note, i hate it when the damn explodie cactus monsters spawn in my castle at night!
Also, wish the guard dogs would actually guard instead of sitting and watching all the zombies and skellys that love to infest my castle stroll around next to them... sigh

My bases are always built into mountains near the top or right by the water. Theres a ton of glass allowing for everyone to look inside and pockets dug out where torches are put in (for some reason I dont like torches just hanging on walls that are out in the open). The bases are often compact, having green houses, tree farms, cactus farms, and mines within a short walks distance with the structures easily visible (although the entrances tend to be hidden). I also like lost of water and trees, usually putting in mad made waterfalls and planting trees just outside and on top of my base.

I have no idea what that says about me though

I generally don't stop walking in MC, even at night I keep on the move and attempt to spelunk every cave I find. This doesn't reflect my personality at all because I prefer to stick to what I know and have little sense of adventure.
