What does your Minecraft base say about you?

I built Sauron's tower with the flaming eye and everything.
wow

Awesome, any screenshots you can share?
Sounds freaking epic
It's not as big as I want it to be yet
and it's a shame that I had to use cobblestone

Says that I have no imagination.
Any buildings I make are square or rectangular. Whenever I try to build something creative, it's always some simple geometric, repeating pattern or something.
I felt like making a Mt Rushmore-esque sculpture out of the side of a big hill near my house... I ended up hollowing out a cube.
I then decide to build something in it... I made a pyramid.

Good question.
I have a yellow pyramid that has a hole in the top. Go down this hole and you will eventually be in an underground, upside-down pyramid of a different coloured material. There is one block of a different colour in this pyramid, destroy it, and you will have access to the entrance of two afterlife themed mazes, one heaven, one hell. Both lead to a different place on the surface.
What does that say?

Umm... so far I've spent less time building and more time exploring. There's just so much uncharted territory out there...

I did the same with the maze only, I made a small settlement...mainly cause I only play online so it's much easier to gloat about my brilliant town...I think the best part was when we got a load of people who weren't regulars on our server and just decided to make an army out of them, destroying each others town. Afterwards we then claimed victory (simultaneously) and proceeded to build a new settlement on each other's ruins...this has happened 3 times now. Let's see if he can destroy obsidian this time >=]

Mine would say that im a Perfectionist, and quite irritable.

I blow up sections of it if i dont like the aesthetic effect.




That was ages ago though

My first one was a giant floating stone house with a lava moat, and an underground labyrinth with a cave system, mining system, under-water glass dome, and an underground rail network between islands. I was really lucky in that I made my house, and then dug down to find a massive cave full to the brim with Gold, Coal, Iron, and Diamond. On my second play through I only spent a night on, I made a wood cabin floating inside a lake.
I guess I really like floating houses.

I was building a ton of underground caverns when I first got the game, back last winter when I was still kinda depressed.
Now, feeling the exact opposite of depressed, my old underground base in my new world is abandonded in favor of an above ground one. I found a sort of upside-down mountain: It was connected to the ground by a 6x2 rectangle, and grows bigger until the top looks like the base of a mountain, uprooted and balanced upside down. I've built a castle at the top, and now it looks epic.

After a long Minecraft session today I realized that all of the bases I've built have been extensive underground labyrinths, completely invisible from the surface and usually only accessible through hidden underwater entrances. Reflecting on this it's probably because I prefer to stay inside IRL and the windows in my house are almost always covered up. Oh, and my room when I was a teenager was in the basement, which is where I spent most of my time.
Same here, except initially I was building a keep on top of a hill before digging my house underground from there. It makes a safer shelter.

My house has a garden and decking outside. Like a lovely cottage. Though it's built into a mountain, but that's for convenience.

I don't build bases. I'm nomadic and spend the night living in a burning forest that way the lighting's good and i'm protected. This really says nothing about me because I prefer to stay indoors.
Last time I tried that I burned down the forest as far as my render distance could see and beyond.

My main base is a cosy little homestead with a farm, a quarry and a massive tower lined with redstone torches so I don't get lost. So I guess, I like my comfort?

On another world I have a series of underground bunkers and am currently working on an underground Doom Fortress. So I guess I don't like the light either

That I'm homeless, mainly due to the fact that I dont play minecraft

But I did build a basic one in the demo, so I guess that one could of been called "caravan-esq".

I tend to build neat little cottages, next with cobblestone paths that lead to mines and watch towers. This probably says that I enjoy being comfortable and in a familiar environment but I can explore when need be.

I tend to build massive underground bunkers. My last masterpiece in my minecraft world (sadly deleted due to forgetful partition reorganising) featured a hidden entrance to my evil meeting room and my secret quarters (for the republic of stephen, something I made up on Educational networking site Edmodo with friends at school).

So basically this means I am a recluse who has a power complex.

i have, across various maps:

-a sprawling underground fortress with more traps than 4chan
-a 40m-high pyramid filled with puzzles and traps
-a small, unassuming library containing a portal to a towery palace in the nether
-an oriental-style palace accessible only by a single bridge
-a gothic themed castle with walls 3 blocks thick (stone-lava-stone) to screw over creepers
-a 1:3 replica of the cathedral of notre dame (exterior only, less-than-half finished)
-and finally, a large sanctaphrax-based floating rock with a city on top, laced with caves

what *does* this say about me?
