50+ Minecraft Build Ideas for Survival Worlds

I have been playing Minecraft for over 10 years at this point and if you’re anything like me you know that sometimes the grind of just breeding cows mining cobblestone getting food it can get boring and monotonous if you’re not really working towards anything so for

Any of you that may be looking for a new project to build here are some of my favorite builds that I’ve used in my eight year survival world first and foremost we have skyscrapers these are some of my favorite builds to make and I do them almost any time I get bored with

My world and I think it’ll show with how many of them I have in my opinion they’re one of the coolest Overworld builds that you can do and they really only take one to two double chests of material to construct now I know that sounds like a lot to most of you but

Compared to some of the other builds we’re going to get to that’s actually kind of cheap now unlike me you may actually want to decorate and fill the insides of these buildings but making a few of them will definitely set the tone for any city that you might want to make

In that same vein all good cities have to have something to do so why not make some shops some of my favorite shops include things like a clothing store head shops food stands but may also be something as simple as like a block shop if you’re playing with others in an s p

Really any material that you have that others could want you can make a shop out of and if you have any empty space between these shops a little Park is always a really easy and cool addition that I love to add to my builds especially when I’ve cleared out the

Area and it’s really flat it’s nothing to just add a little Fountain some bushes made of leaves and it adds a little focal point instead of just having this open area that does nothing and now that you have some good shops in there you’re going to need some extra

Security so why not try some walls I often find myself just being lazy and using something like normal fencing or walls to keep the mobs out but when you add something like this it gives a little bit more Decor that can really help spruce up your builds and make it

Feel like a real town While You’re Building these walls you could just build it out into a full Castle as well or even just a small village one of my favorite parts of my own world is that I’ll just fly to some random spot and make a cool little getaway area out of

It sure it doesn’t necessarily serve a purpose but I always love flying around and finding them later on sticking to this Village idea why not add a windmill not sure it may not actually function but it’s a pretty easy building that you can make that’s really tall and can help

You find where you put these Villages when you inevitably lose them along with it you may want to add a church nearby and make it a full-on home for some villagers but if you’re sick of sticking around the trees like a noob why not try an underground base instead one of the

More overlooked things about building normal bases is the fact that you never have to clear any of that land out you just sort of break blocks and go I always find it so rewarding when I have to go underground and chisel out my own little Homestead and in these bases you

Can build pretty much anything you would put in a normal base think like an automatic farm maybe a chest room and send to your underground you could even do a Wither fighting room so that you don’t blow up your normal builds if you’re really feeling fancy try and make

It something that you could live in for days maybe weeks at a time without going to the surface and once you’re a full-on Hermit you can also connect your underground base to other parts of your world using things like tunnels or another portal and speaking of the

Nether once you get to the other side it’s a literal hellscape so you may want to Spruce It Up by adding things like another Hub nether highways maybe even some mines so that you can get more netherrite I’ve redone mine like three or four times and even if they don’t

Look great I seldom have to fight off things like gas while traveling between cities and I’m sure you’re not gonna miss having to fight all of the things in the nether either so long as you have some sort of tunnel between the different portals in your world I think

That’s a win then once you get back to the Overworld maybe make an area to study the new nether items that you’ve found and it doesn’t just have to be the nether you could also add rooms to study other cool things that you may have found on your journey like cool mobs

Maybe Moss end items the choices go on and on mine personally only has about four rooms but I’ve seen people like Dallas Smith who have dozens I find these builds to be particularly interesting because the lab itself can often be kind of boring and it really

Forces you to find some cool stuff you probably haven’t used before to make a focal point for the room and now that you already have the Moss for your lab why not cover an entire Island in it since it can grow over normal blocks if

You do it right it can almost look like a little Untamed grassy area and you could make something like a little hobbit Village like this with a farm and a little walking trail that goes around while you’re at it why not try making all sorts of new biomes with different

Blocks on the cheaper side you might try something like deep slate because there’s a ton of it underground and make a unique biome that might have something like quartz trees and on this island you could even put a little research center there fit with field sites and satellite

Labs that connect to your main laboratory or maybe even another skyscraper dedicated to a very rare mob that you found on the island if deep slate isn’t your style maybe try making an island out of dripstone and make it as rich as you can possibly afford gotta

Get that drip and if you’re really rolling in the dough you could even try to cover an entire Island out of gold and make a volcano with flowing lava over it now if you’re broke like I was and didn’t have enough gold to cover an entire Island maybe start off with a

Little gold Farm instead also full disclosure this is bedrock I cannot make a good gold Farm but for any of you Java boys oh this will be nice and of course no gold farm would be complete without a giant golden creeper standing guard over top it may not actually stand guard but

This is how I remember where I put the farm and with this new gold farm you may as well get some use out of it so maybe try your hands at making statues now they don’t all have to be out of gold but if you’ve seen my channel before you

Know I love making golden statues if you’re new to Statue building or just suck at Minecraft like I do some of the easiest things to start off with are the Minecraft Mobs themselves because you know they’re going to be blocky and they end up being really easy to copy me

Personally I’ve done things like a golden cow a Golden Chicken a golden bee an emerald sheep a copper dog in an amethyst Axolotl but really the options are endless and I’m not stopping here oh yes speaking of axolotls do you have one yet if not go find one they’re one of my

Favorite mobs because they hate the drowns just as much as I do and they’re also just so adorable but one is never enough so why not get a few and while you’re at it why not try and get every color of Axolotl there’s lucistic let’s be honest that’s just pink brown gold

Cyan and the rarest of them all blue now if you’re not lucky enough to just find a blue Axolotl in the wild no worries because you can actually breed for them so why not make a little breathing tank by a warm ocean biome so you have easy

Access to the tropical fish that you’ll need to get them all hubba hubba it is a 1 in 1200 chance so you may be there for a while but once you’ve found one you’ll be glad you did and mine only took me eight hours to get but if you have one

Blue Axolotl why not breed it and make a second at that point why not three or maybe even a thousand yes side note don’t actually get a thousand I did that in the entity cramming has made it literally unplayable within 100 blocks of that stupid but you know you could

Probably do a hundred and be fine anyway now that you have so many axolotls let’s build some cool stuff for them one cool idea could be to go to the middle of the woods and make a cool little Temple and start your own Axolotl cool our cult’s

Not your style maybe just try an aquarium where the blue buddies can swim freely with their new friends or if you’re a true capitalist you could even make a fancy Black Market store for them fit with everything they could need like an amethyst tank and a gold ceiling

Speaking of amethyst why not just cover an entire mountain in it all right I’m not gonna lie this one was a bad idea but after you do something stupid like that you can always make a villager breeder at the base so you can have an ample number of emeralds to power all of

Your beacons I’ve also made a Frog Light Mountain but I don’t know that that’s a good idea either so maybe we stay away from these ones okay at this point the builds are getting outlandish so let’s wrap things up with four of my favorite builds that I have in my world you may

Have seen it earlier but the soccer stadium in my newest city is one of my favorite builds that I have ever made and it is just so aesthetically pleasing all it takes is some wool to Mark out a little field at the bottom make a big circle around it put some stairs leading

Down to the field and that’s about it now the resources aren’t going to be that cheap but none of these ideas are it’s something you have to work towards and for me these stadiums are just so gorgeous and they add a great focal point to whatever area you want to have

Because of that I’ve made stadiums for soccer baseball football I’m American I’ll call this what I want a little fighting arena and a basketball court now the basketball stadium is especially cool to me because I built it in the end and for my last recommendation I would

Implore you to Branch out into the other Realms to build in my own end I converted one of the islands into its own little city fit with skyscrapers and a little farm I covered a different one in calcite and I even made a cool little space station out there and I just love

How quiet and surreal it is to be building Among the Stars that being said if you’re gonna do the end make sure you’re on Peaceful because the Enderman will steal the blocks from your builds thank you guys so much for watching if you have any other ideas that you think

I may have missed make sure to leave them down below if you want to see something like this again I’d love it if you left a like and if you want to see any of the hundreds of other things that didn’t make it into this video I’ve

Actually done a full world tour of my almost nine year survival world and the link to that will be down below
