5 MEGABASE IDEAS FOR MINECRAFT SMP’S

Unless your snp consists of dreaming technoblade fighting to the death and blowing up villages then your server might look a little more like hermitcraft a regular survival where people build all sorts of farms and bases at a massive scale across a long period of time and so

Today i thought i’d come up with a list of five different fairly original megabase ideas for survival minecraft starting things off we’ve got pyramids now pyramids are one of the few things i feel like i’d recommend to the new player as it’s just easy to get sanded sandstone and make something really big

And it doesn’t take too long provided you don’t make it huge and you’ve got a lot of space in between in the middle you’ve got all the sections that you can make for example cub on the hermitcraft server has got different sections for different farms he’s got long corridors

With automatic farms with a push of a button and it’s ridiculous and if you haven’t seen it already i’ll link the video in the description and speaking of cub one of the things he does perfectly is colors i mean this is one of the color palettes that he uses inside his build

And it’s just brilliant i mean i don’t know how he comes up with it he ends up with lapis on the on the ceiling he’s got honeycomb on the walls and cactus as pillars i mean it’s just so bizarre but it works the color palette just feels perfect now the main advantage of

Building a pyramid is that mining out the space gives you the sand that you need to build the pyramid in the first place meaning you’re sort of killing two birds with one stone by mining the area out of sand and then building said thing out of sand again the other immediate advantage with

Pyramids is that they fit basically anywhere you put it as long as it’s in a sand biome because you don’t really need any form terrain to do any sort of terraforming or anything and it just kind of fits wherever you put it whereas with some villagers you have to find the

Right place and you’ve got to find the right terrain and you might have to tear it from a little bit and only then will it look half decent whereas with pyramids you can sort of just put them down wherever you want and it will look good enough next up we have medieval bases

Now this was my medieval base from my old snp server and as you can see it turned out quite well i mean the only problem we had was having to farm all this wood and get all of the concrete for it but in the end it turned out quite nicely and i

Even put my diamonds in the middle just because it was a bit of a boasting thing although i was far from the richest person on the server adding small details like the shops and things all these different market stalls just makes it all really tied together the lanterns really

Fit the theme and even rooms like this i mean this was just underneath one of the buildings and we had like a small workshop going on in here we had different ingots for sale and we had like a blast furnace over here random items on the floor and it just

Turned out right as well as some buildings that were completely unfinished as you can see here we started this never got around to it this was meant to be a museum sort of area and we were going to have all the different paintings of what it looked like before

And build it all the way up but we just never got around to it and then over here we had an extra set of shops we had some a bookstore we had some more chests over here and we had a basalt generator which i wrote a long

Long instruction manual to do uh and yeah it would just push up the base hole and you’d mine it from the top and it worked great and then the next project was this i mean it turned out all right i think we ended up with a big building which is

What i was going for we had a pool in the in the front garden which again sort of turned out all right i mean i think it could have definitely been approved upon but here we go we could have had a little bit more color or something on the sides

And then the inside well it looks better without shaders let me just turn shaders off quickly i mean here i think you can really see the colors that i was going for without without the shaders because the shader sort of flushes out the light a little bit

But i mean this building again this turned out just as i expected it to i’m really proud of this and then again just more area that’s completely unfinished as i said you’ve got to be careful with these megabases you don’t want to build something you’re not gonna finish

And this was the second project it was a small little farm area with a nice man-made tree in the background supposed to look a little bit natural with the dangling leaves and things but again it just never got finished i mean you see up here i made these little

Water things in the ground so that i could farm all the crops and plant them all up here but i just never got around to it i i just got too busy and then this was the last project which was basically a big mine shaft i mean i

Mined this whole thing out by hand uh with the efficiency 5 and the insta mine however but i mean it took it took long enough we ended up with exactly what i wanted to in the fact that we had a big big mine with a lot of gold and diamond

In it and then we had the small little like diamond pockets on the side and we had lava down here if i just go down here there’s the lava there you can see we’ve got some campfires to make it look a bit nicer as well as a giant portal so that when

People came through the portal to see my base they would see this when they came out with another portal and during the day it looks a little bit nicer but it still looks pretty good at night and then this was the last thing we built which was a giant crane

To fit really nicely up here with the build i can’t fly up there i’ve not gone quick enough so yeah medieval bases being one of the more difficult ones however once you do build it it’s a lot it’s a lot more rewarding it’s a lot more rewarding

And look at that i mean just with the sun shining in the background you can see it just looks perfect and granted a lot of this is shaders i still feel like it would look pretty good in regular in regular minecraft small thing this tree’s been burning for two weeks

Yeah i’m just i’m just gonna leave it alone world tours and burning trees aside the next one is pirates now i feel like a pirate ship would be really cool in a survival world and this this kind of thing would fit perfectly in the middle of the ocean i mean it

Could go with something like this with the palm trees and the big buildings and the watchtower volcano and all that but i just feel like this is so doable for a survival world like it seriously is most of it i mean i don’t even know if the interior is done i’ve not even

Looked inside he’s definitely built up the area enough i mean look these are meant to be beds and the hammocks and stuff and you got all the space up here it’s even this i mean i don’t even know what this is i mean if you have the patience to build

All of the wood for this or gather all the wood i mean it’s it’s so doable look at what you can fit inside if i wait i’m gonna have to break through here i’m gonna have to break in the amount that you could i mean even

This is interior but you could fit so much in here if you just added like a like a storage system maybe underneath here and you can you could even fit like a mob farm in here in this part you can have chests down here super smelters you know everything it’s even got some

Writing on the side it says gu or ghoul or goose is that an s or an l although one thing to mention about this is this is definitely scaled up as you can see the telescope is a lot bigger than i am as you can see

I’m going to have to sort of jump up here to reach it and it’s the same thing with the steering wheel at the top is that you can’t really you can’t really reach it it’s not the appropriate height that you know this is a lot higher

Than it is usually but the reason they do that is because when you build something really big the detail you can go into is ridiculous you can fit so many small things like buttons and stuff and from far away the the detail that that makes and the difference it makes

Is is so much more than if you just made a small boat with the buttons you’d end up with less space per per thing and also if you include the mountain like he has you can add basically everything that you didn’t fit in the pirate ship to

Begin with granted this is a lot more effort i think than building one of those i mean they’re probably even but this mainly because of a stone and all the different materials that it needs i mean up here you’re gonna need the concrete and things and i think making the inside

Of this look good enough again rather than just being some stone on the inside would take a lot longer than making this look good because as you can see over here the way he’s done this is just sort of fill the interior with different types of

Cloth and and carpets and that kind of thing chairs it’s a lot easier to make the inside of this than it would be over here just realized i completely forgot to credit the owner of this build so here we go this build was made by jay stoke m2

On planet minecraft so go check him out again link in the description this build was absolutely amazing to look at this next one is something i feel like people forget a lot and that is you don’t have to build one big thing in the middle of your base you

Can just go with lots of smaller buildings like people often do in medieval villages like i showed you earlier and this is no exception this was done by danny4355 on planet mc and he what he’s done is combine a lot of these smaller medieval buildings like this one

And he’s put them all into like a village sort of thing where they’ve all got a little space in the area and they could all have some one thing in them for example if you wanted a storage system in this one and a mob farm in the next one maybe in this

Slightly bigger one and you wanted a bedroom in this one and a wheat farm in this one you can do that and that’s the advantage of having one of these basis is you can spread everything out without having to combine them all into one thing one thing to mention as well is that

Danny actually made this in minecraft 1.12 which means that this was before a lot of the more recent block updates meaning that a lot of these blocks actually could be outdated you could probably make a better looking wall than this with just the cobblestone and you could probably make a better

Looking front area than this has however having said that he’s managed to find some creative ways to make villager farms he’s even got a pathway to the castle this goes all the way out the side and all the way up the top and it goes

Up to the to the top castle gate and i think he said on the forum that he has a castle gate that opens and closes when you when you press the button which is just another added detail that always fits in these kind of builds now this

Last one is more of an added bonus but i just thought it was too cool to leave out now this is called the arctic exploration vehicle by captain underscored jek on planet minecraft and it’s inspired by rob watkins who made this beautiful arctic explorer which just looks perfect it’s got the

Right scale these wheels are absolutely massive he’s even got armor stands to scale here it’s absolutely huge he’s used a lot of methods that aren’t really vanilla minecraft as you can see he sort of used some barrier blocks here to make the levers look like a chain

But a lot of this is very doable and again this is maybe not something that you’d consider building in a survival world but the kind of thing that i feel like could definitely fit a lot of different things in it you could have a chest system in here

You could have a mob farm you could have honestly the space you can have with this and the amount of things you can put inside it is ridiculous and although a lot of these rooms are empty i think he did interior one there we go he did and we

Have to break in here he did interior one of them and you can see he’s used different banners to make it look like seats he’s got different redstone inputs to look a bit like a control area and he’s got all these different desks for more and i think there’s these buttons

Which do something on the outside well maybe they were just a show turns out it was just a show i was just being an idiot also this video was only really meant to be five minutes and i’ve somehow managed to make it ten and a half so you’re gonna have to bear with

Me with that but i hope you all enjoyed nonetheless and i’ll catch you in the next one
