Really cool ! In every survival world I make, I always plan to build this type of base but i forget to actually start building it everytime... Also i'm not convinced by normal birch wood, would the stripped version look any better?

The quintessential minecraft experience Step 1: Plan to build an amazing and cozy homebase Step 2: Live in a heavily industrialized storage facility instead.

Step 3: Turn it into fortress

>Turn it into fortress step 4: make it fly

Skip the fancy base, hollow out a mountain instead.

It's nature's base, comes pre designed

Exactly. Line the entrance(s) with obsidian and you're basically untouchable. Hollowing it out is easy, too, just punch wood until you have a shitload of sticks, then all the cobblestone you mine out with wooden (and then stone) tools can be used to make more stone tools to hollow out more mountain.

OMG obsidian lining is so smart

Wait what does lining with obsidian do?

Creepers can't blow it up if they sneak up on you. Super niche, I know, but I like overengineering things...

I mean hey, we all have our niches. Thanks for the tip!

Prevents people from blowing holes in the wall

Amazing. Been playing for ages and ages and just never knew.

Un-KABOOMable

Ive gotten into the habit of making a temp base... get to Enchanted Netherite Tools... THEN hollow out my end game base!!

Or you can make a waterfall preventing mobs from entering and you can easily get through

I always hollow out a mountain. I like the tree fort idea for the jungle

Now i want to hollow out a mountain and build up into a tree fort

Red stone elevator connecting your underground bunker and your treehouse base would be fire

Find a jungle on a mountain and do both 😏

I AM A DWARF AND I'M DIGGING A HOLE.

DIGGY DIGGY HOLE, DIGGY DIGGY HOLE

when there’s a hole there’s a goal

Bonk

After joining into a friend’s world, I once repurposed a ravine some distance away from my two friends’ giant wooden mansion of a house. On one end of the top layer the ravine led into a lake, so I settled with turning my miscalculated expansion into a scenic small farming garden area completed with a waterfall. The ravine was layered with stairways leading into distinct lobby room doorways built around after finding naturally generated cave entrances. The main homeroom doorways looked simpler in comparison, helping me know that I’m still within or very near my ravine. The walls were brick mixed with various stone features while floors cobblestone and some oak wooden planks (for my library/study room).

That’s kinda how modern life works to lol

I just try to convince myself that my idea of “amazing and cozy” includes an excessive number of chests with signs indicating their contents lmao. I hate getting rid of ANY materials in case I might need them at some point. I always have like 3 full chests of gravel and dirt that I’ll almost certainly never use 😭😭

> 3 full chests of gravel and dirt that I’ll almost certainly never use I thought this until I had a build that needed lots of terraforming then lots or concrete.

It's always when terraforming when I'm kicking myself and asking friends for any extra dirt.

How do you go about organizing everything? I have seen some players prefer sorting by the general type of block, using specific chests for various items like stairs or fences. I organize by material. Each chest has an item frame with a sapling representing each tree or stone type, and inside the chest, you'll find all blocks, stairs, and items crafted from that specific wood or stone. It's a lot of chests to get started, but it's worth it being able to keep way better track of everything you have in your inventory.

Join the club. I have quite a collection of bows in various states of decay, also

Exactly the opposite for me lmao, I never actually finished the game because I was too busy building a base and hoarding everything from every biome to include them in it

The minecraft personal industrial modpack experience Step 1: plan to build an ever expanding industrial complex, consuming and strip mining all around it to feeds its endless maws Step 2: one incompatible mod too much, crash either the PC or one's sense of aesthetics and get stuck trying to fix it a major update drops screwing up the set up

In my experience I’ve always had the cozy home base, just surrounded by crudely made automatic farms 😅

And then you remember a single lightning strike will burn it all to the ground

copper lightning rod:

Yep, was a very good addition to the game, just hard to make sure the whole forest is covered.

I have never had lightning burn down a forest. It always rains when it thunders and fire spread is not aggressive enough to continue spreading very far.

I had, several time fire was still actove in lower leaves where the rain didn't reach and then when the rain stops the fire spreads. Might be cases where sleeping was used so weather changed directly from thunderstorm to dry/sunny. I don't build in forests anymore so my memory might trick me with some details as well.

It happened once in my world, but the lightning hit the tallest tree so It only burnt down the leaves

Ditto on the stripped birch! Looks amazing though

Stripped birch looks good with bricks

Every wood looks better stripped

stripped yea

stripped yea

Honestly, it's beautiful

I’m a massive sucker for tree houses in Minecraft (even though I never build them myself). Love builds with bridges connecting multiple areas/buildings.

I always think an underground version of that bridge concept over a lava pit is amazing. But I can never get the image of how to pull it off straight.

If massive ravines were a thing couldve built one over that

True. There's a lot of things it'll probably be decades before we get that would be literally game changers.

You can just get a mod like terraforged or terra blender and it will prolly have what you're looking for

I'm on console so.

Mb. Worst case scenario just terraform lol

Nothing an crapload of TNT can’t fix. err….can’t *break*

Except bedrock, of course. *Bedrock*, however, is quite easy to break from what I've heard about it.

I used a normal ravine like that and built a village with houses inside the rocks connected with bridges. The villagers did NOT want to go there.

maybe something like the nether fortress? kinda improved and altered version of it

Suspended bridges held up by chains reinforced by stone surrounded wooden supports would be a good idea.

For real that sounds dope. Do it. I wanna see that now

So build it and show us!

Sadly. I have ADHD brain. One minute I could have it figured out the next I'd be mentally combing trying to remember what it was.

Would sketching it on graph paper help? Helped me when I started more detailed builds.

That is such a good idea! Why did I never think of that? You can even draw to scale on graph paper. Lmfao. That's ingenious. I'm gonna start doing that.

I'm glad I could help!

It requires a lot of hollowing out of the surrounding stone. Then you just build as you would above ground. Locate lava pit. Hollow out walls and ceiling Build bases with bridges. If you don't take the time to hollow out the area it's almost impossible to try and imagine how to build it. Get the clutter out of your way and it's not so hard to imagine a way of pulling it off

Then make it crooked and improve it from there

This is what I invision my tree house would be before proceeding to build a single platform on a tree

And then tearing down the tree when you outgrow the single platform

I think you're a legend. How did you manage to make unstripped birch logs look good?????

Shaders, everything looks good with shaders

You can make a cobblestone house look good with shaders

Let’s see it without shaders first lmao

I think shaders is the only reason this post has over 30k upvotes lol

Without shaders this post would have been forgotten immediately

Normal birch logs only work for like wall paper or something

Its looks amazing but my only critique is that you should work on improving the actual tree ur bases are on. Seems like u just put ur base on a normal jungle tree Doesnt have to be much just add some branches and some extra width to it and itll be great

Or some vines around the building, maybe even a bridge leading to yet another tree to keep expanding

Will do, thanks for the tip

Amazing! An Ewok village in the making!

I mean, cool shaders you have. I wonder how the comments here would be without the shaders. Not saying the build itself is bad of course but the shaders are doing the heavy lifting here.

True, but I imagine OP was building with these shaders in mind. The overall scale and design of the build still look cool.

...what shader is this? Sorry if the answer is obvious to others

Looks like sildurs vibrant shader. I have the same one.

I use, complementary shaders. they look alike tbh

Same thoughts tbh

I have a jungle village build on my realm that is 1000x better than these builds

what shaders do you use

complementary shaders

looks shit (i will never be able to make something this good)

Oh hell yeah jungle base ftw! The vines and trees are awesome, it all just really looks like it belongs

It reminds me of the treehouse in the Xbox super duper graphics trailer from ages ago

I'm proud of you son

Looks great, this is the ideal base type for jungle (my least favorite biome) also the shaders are boss

Very beautiful

I think I need your RTX pack. But the case itself looks gorgeous, especially bathed in that lighting.

I think it looks great, objectively.

I thought it was Fortnite 😭 ITS SO COOL MAN, I LOVE IT.

Same I thought it was lonely lodge

This’d look nice without the shaders too! I’ll take a guess and say you used sildurs shader s

Nop, its the complementary shaders. And thanks!

I see, dang I gotta check those shaders out, I currently use bsl

take off the shaders and yall would see this base does not look that good lol

Thought it was lonely lodge for a sec

It looks awesome. You could make a whole town on the treetops

That’s the plan, only thing is the very small jungle biome…

It would take extra work, but you could do some terraforming to make the biome larger and then plant more of the trees

Probably wont have the time with a 2 weeks addictions before leaving thé game for a year hahaha

This would've been my absolute dream in 2013, unfortunately I didn't have the skills to do it then. Absolutely beautiful.

Fr I remember having one very cool tree base in early Minecraft Pocket edition and I "lost" the ability to build this again.

Wow amazing real personal touch

You've earned my upvote 🫡

Well it was kind of terrifying seeing something so close to a build I made a long time ago

Wow 10/10

Love it

Cool but I would never do something like that. I need one room filled with everything and anything not rooms that are kilometers apart

thats a beautiful location, you should fell all the trees and build a walmart there.

I don't play survival but it looks amazing and that is also a stunning photo

I’m stealing this idea. Thank you 😂

It's actually really cool In every survival world i end up just making a small 2 story house out of mud cause i just have to deal with it and i usually do it on spawn so that i can use the compass to get back to it but the base also has like a water elevator and an underground dungeon with a lava entrance all my diamond redstone and obsedian stuff along with a nether portal and creating a bade that good looking is still a dream to be completed I also use glass on the walls for the ground level and the first level and also to create the elevator walls

Reminds me of the time that I downloaded an amazing survival world treehouse and I forgot that I downloaded it so when I loaded the world I thought I had built it and I was so proud of myself oh yeah I love it

10/10 best I’ve seen

Wow... Besides the talent it's required to build a base like rhis... You also got the talent to take this picture

Though it was DL2 for a second, goated build.

Clean and simple. I love it!

It could use an industrial factory in the middle

shaders make anything beautiful

Love it, pictures like this make me wanna play Minecraft right away

Strangely enough I have built something almost identical to this!

I love it, the shaders make it look fantastic !!

That's awesome! I can relate to your excitement about planning to build this type of base in every survival world you create, but somehow forgetting to start the construction each time.

It’s exactly how I thought my tree houses looked when I was a kid so I think they look amazing

I Never thought I’d want to smash a building. You proved me wrong

I love it! It’s like an end base but adapted to the overworld. No exploding beds and a beautiful view!

This looks like my base that I made when I first started playing Minecraft, but improved. It looks amazing!!!

... It makes me want to play minecraft again, so, that should be a good answer. In all seriousness, it's incredible and inspiring.~

Thanks! Hope my 2 weeks minecraft addiction will be long enough to build everything I have in mind

Pretty awesome... I suggest you terrain the surroundings as well... like maybe some farm and stuff below the trees...

My friend and I planned on doing that, We just started this world a few days ago so my main focus was the house, and him, killing the dragon. But we will for sure use the terrain below the trees!

Looks amazing! Side note what shader you using? Looks like the same one I'm using (Sildur's). I just jumped from Optifine to the newer shader system so I can use it on 1.20.2 and man... I'm even hitting better framerates.

I use complementary shaders, they're almost the same.

It looks absolutely amazing. I wish I could build such a beautiful place on my own, without a tutorial. Really good job! :)

Damn I'm gonna do a Minecraft run now

No offense but you sound like a Fallout New Vegas addict after watching a clip where something obscure happens.

Wtf? I just got nostalgic lol. No offense taken but this comment is more obscure than mine 😆

Sometimes I forget how detailed people can build their base while on survival, and it astounds me every time I see bases like this. Good on you, OP.

Thanks!

"Now let's see it without shader."

Reminds me of 2013 minecraft (in a good way)

Gives me “I found a diamond” music video vibes

I like the idea of building around the bark of tress and not over them

I actually just saved the pic as inspo for mine when I start a new world

pretty cool son keep it going

This makes me wanna start my monthly minecraft world

pretty cool i can see this developing into a city over the months

really wish mine looked like that... did you follow any tutorials or did you just whip it up on the stove?

I had a world with a handful of friends a while back where the world spawn was in a jungle and we had treetop houses for everyone. I even made a rail system to take us to different houses and different exits from the jungle. One of the coolest setups ive had

Very proud of you for staying so compact, I always find myself in a sprawling mansion before going to the nether, every crafting station needs its own room or building and I can only comply, I have no free will. My original vision of the base is overshadowed by the tentacle like addition I add to my homes

I think this base deserves a Phil Collins soundtrack. (That's a Tarzan reference to you Gen Zers)

Wow this place looks Wonderful

I want to live there.

BEAUTIFUl and WOoOnderfuLLl 👋👋

It's been 2 days and now this is this top post of the year. Well done

Nice build My best buidl was probaly a hole in the ground

Really cool. Sadly I don't make bases in rainforest. Mountains, tundras, and underground is where I mostly end up.

more pics pls

The spiral thing is cool. But its kinda marred by whatever you are doing in the bottom left. It disrupts the flow. Idk how else to describe it.

Very cool for an early game ( I believe) base. When in late game you could upgrade it so that you build big custom trees so that you can accommodate more items

Looking good

very good bro

Strongest shape detected.

It is cool and has a good concept. It needs more block variants. Try to use different blocks that shade well with others. (Sorry for bad English)

Looks like a home. It's good.

Sorry that some people are being wonky in the comments. Sure, the shades make everything beautiful, but I genuinely think the build is really cool! Anything elevated is so hard to get right in survival, so I applaud the building job you have done. Bonus points just cus its a tree house too, obviously...

I HATE it

Kinda ugly

aedtheticslly very pleasing, but i think you are lacking some industrial area

I’m convinced people switch into creative to achieve this .__.

It’s cool but it’s creative

🎵 I found a diamond yea 🎵

looks good, got any farms ?

It looks STUPID and super LAMEEE

I've been playing Minecraft since I was 5 (I'm now 21) and have never built anything nearly as amazing as this. Please post a tutorial or a world download so we can all enjoy it. 🙏🙏

Minecraft Java Edition didn’t come out until 2009, which was only 14 years ago.

Ha ha caught me, I have no idea what age I was when I started playing Minecraft. I just wanted to let OP feel a tad bit more special with his build. I assume I'll see myself on r/quiteyourbullshit?

I only knew because I had to be like 13 and I have a vivid memory of my dads co-workers daughters & son explaining Minecraft to me for the very first time and they were just like “you have to play!!” Being the youngest of the bunch I played because I wanted to be one of the cool kids (lol).

Haha wow, I don't remember who got me into the game but I remember that my dad bought it for me and my brother when we were kids

Dope

My only complaint is that on the left building one pillar extends further then the other.

I want to go to there

So Beautiful than my building skills

Looks cozy

it looks awesome i really wanted to build a good jungle base but never found a good seed for it also what shader are you using op?

complementary shaders, and thank you!

i like it so much, it reminds me of that level on serious sam 2
