Benefits:
Underground/Cave/Mountain bases are goated. On top of all of this, they're easy to expand without having to redesign or move, and in modded you can make room for glorp inside the walls almost unnoticeably
Started a Minecraft server recently for the household+friends, and I did what I’ve done for 15 years: Small shack on the surface, huge tunnel base underground
thats why i live in mom’s basement
A small wooden hut with slightly stylised roof, a bed, a firmace and crafting table.
Oh and trap door.
Now, tunnels below may reach multiple hundreds of blocks each way like tendrils…and be more stylised inside tha n the hut…
“I am a dwarf and I’m digging a hole!”
What are those anti grief defenses? Are they in the room with us right now?
It’s been ages since I’ve played Minecraft, but my favorite and most frustrating base was one of those guardian temples in the ocean. The kicker was that it was a fresh server, and my buddy and I tackled that as our starter base. No armor, stone tools… Just a few stacks of sand and some doors to drain of, and lots - LOTS - of dying.
When we finally got that thing drained and hollowed out… so satisfying!
In any survival style game I play, it’s the bare minimum for me. Hell, in Palworld, I only made a 3 wall house with a roof because that counts as an enclosure.
I just put down a bed and utility blocks out in the open and light up the area around me so mobs don’t spawn. I hardly bother building any sort of structure at all.
Dirt hut that gets half-assed upgraded to wood, then stone if I’m feeling fancy.
I’ve never been great at design :’)
Man, makes me remember the days of building TnT cannons and playing Mafia online. Good ole days XD
The modern minecraft mountain generation is so good. I love finding a nice mountain and start hollowing it out. My latest word i found an island with a trial chamber underneath it. A decent sized cave system and a natural cove for me to build farms around.
Any house that is carved into like a hill already got 5/6 walls and thus by default the best ROI(you don’t spend any building material and get some back). Heck, you might even have a 2 block gap and have all 6 walls already in place.
Although I find that building one in the ground(like a hole) also works.
Also in Rimworld, right to cave tile for my starting base
Some of us like to build though.
See, many people say graphics are less important than gameplay. Which is true, especially with Minecraft.
But a good looking base makes the gameplay that much more enjoyable.
I’ve known plenty who just throw all their machines and farms out in a field. And it works, it just doesn’t look great. With a bit of TLC, they could have an awesome base. But it seems like they want to speedrun Minecraft and be done with it.
It’s either an underground cave or a castle

Go ahead bomb my 2×2×5 cell with a bed, furnace, workbench, and double layer chest. It will take me all of 5 minutes to replace
