I Made a Safe House in Minecraft

I hate people and today i plan on doing everything in my power to keep people as far away from my house as possible because we are going to be creating a safe house in minecraft now for those of you who are very observant you may notice that there isn’t yeah there

Currently isn’t a house here so far there’s just a flat piece of land but let’s quickly do something about that and now we have a home and i’ve got to say it’s it’s quite a homely little home too we’ve got the bed we’ve got the crafting bench we’ve got the furnaces

Anvil and the chest i even have a little balcony up at the top here which i can use to have views of the village and some some hay bales on that clip what why are there hay bales on that cliff that’s actually quite cool the village has kind of generated around this cliff

Top here anyway this is my adorable little home that we are now going to protect from any and all humans that plan on trying to get inside so the first thing that we’re going to create is the wall that is going to be surrounding this thing now i’m thinking

I mean we could build some of it out of wood and then i guess some of it out of stone kind of mimicking the sort of build that we have going on here and then those stairs there are actually well they have sticky pistons underneath them so we’re going to be doing some

Interesting bits with those no no okay i’m no builder all right and i never do building stuff in my videos but i just wanted to take a moment to say that i actually i’m quite liking this wall design here i’m trying my best to make it so this safe house isn’t horrendously

Ugly and very redstoney and i would say this is a fairly good start now as mentioned earlier on each part of this wall or at least these stair segments here have got pistons underneath them and those pistons are going to be extendable or retractable using controls

On the inside of the house and they’re going to reveal something that the player probably doesn’t want to see those things are blaze now the first thing i should probably do is make sure that fire tick is off um yeah that that would probably be pretty bad news if they start shooting then

This entire thing burns down so now that’s covered let’s chuck ourselves into survival mode and let’s see how powerful this is most of them missed i mean seriously that was a pathetic shot by almost all of them ah i think a lot of them are actually getting stopped by those fence posts all

Right if i try again with this slightly better setup maybe it might be more effective it turns out that actually blaze just have terrible aim i mean what earth is this oh to be fair it’s not too bad well i guess after that relatively disappointing display by the blaze it just proves that

We need a lot more defense if we truly want this house to be safe so don’t worry i’ve got plenty more redstone contraptions in mind and weirdly enough this wasn’t actually one of them but it came into my head and i thought i had to build it i love the idea of deploying

Creepers over the top of the wall so let’s see if this thing actually works in theory it should if we hit this button right here no that’s gone terribly can you imagine if you hit that button so maybe we need i guess a few more glass blocks and maybe

A few more removable objects as well to ensure they don’t spill out all over the place this could be a little bit more like it oh now that is exactly how i imagined the first one to go and that looked awesome now there is another type of launcher that i’ve been

Messing around with which is this one so we flick the lever and these guys all bounce out and kind of explode outwards a bit like how the creepers did earlier on i think it’s because there was too many in the area they kind of burst out

I thought i’d use that game mechanic in these corners to launch evocus yeah i mean i think i think if i was attacking a house and then evokers burst out of the ground this would be me yeah no anyway with all of those locked and loaded on all the corners i think now

It’s time to move away from mobs for the time being and move into another defense strategy which of course is the lava mode you can’t have a safe house without some form of lava moat going around the outside it’s they’re just they’re made for them now this is looking very very

Cool already but with this lava moat i don’t want to have it deployed all of the time because of course you know if if i want to actually get into my safe house there’s going to be lava in the way that’s going to be a problem so we need

To have some way to reveal the lava moat and the way that we’re going to do that is making use of the minecraft 1.14 scaffolding block so you can see i’ve kind of created a network of scaffolding up at the top here obviously on top of this scaffolding we’re going to have

Something like gravel and then down underneath we have got a few blocks with pistons kind of running into them when we retract these blocks out of the way it will break all of the scaffolding revealing a pit of lava and now i have managed to make my way all the way

Around getting this fully set up i am so hoping that i don’t mess up and break all of these because this is taking me a long time to work out but what i’m working on at this point is creating the channel that circles all of the pistons that is

Going to allow us to actually activate this thing upon the press of a button here we go so the lava is going in everything is being filled in one thing that i have also made sure of is that underneath this lava we also have some slabs so when this gravel falls down

It’s not going to destroy all of the lava because that’ll be a little bit pointless it’s actually going to land on the slabs meaning it gets broken which means that the lava is actually in place something to make about 40 backups because i really want to make sure that

This doesn’t break itself and go i’m nervous definitely definitely feels definitely hasn’t worked what has happened here everything is still powered ah okay let’s try that one again and go oh wow that is a lag spike but that has worked perfectly that is exactly how i imagined it and

That would be an awful situation to be in right okay i’m going to fill in all of these books right here should we make these obsidian yeah i feel like all the surrounding blocks should probably be obsidian to make sure the player has a really hard

Time getting out of this place i would say this is looking suitably evil yeah i would not want to fall in here i guess while we’re at it there’s a few other additions that we can make to make life a little bit more difficult for anyone trying to access number one is

Berry bushes i’m also thinking with the roses don’t these things give you the wither effect they seem like they’d be pretty good to have surrounding your base one detail that i have somehow missed is the fact that we as the player who actually owns this house still needs to be able

To access it so i’ve created this pathway out of the front where everything splits which actually means that it increases the chances of the player actually coming through this area which means that we can put more defenses up here but the way that i want

To have access to this place is by using a slime block launcher that then launches us up and over the wall but the way that we’re going to activate that is of course by using some form of key card reader and that it turns out is far

Easier said than done you see there is actually quite a few redstone contraptions around in this area here so what i’ve had to do is have the key card get placed inside this dropper the dropper then shoots it out into this hopper right here and then this is the

Circuit that works out if it’s the correct key card and all that sort of thing and then it will retract and re-extend our piston now the reason that i want the piston to retract and then re-extend is so that a player doesn’t run up placing a button hit it and be

Launched immediately over our wall because that would be a bit of a security flaw so let’s give this a go this is our extremely cryptic key card and if we just place it in there stand on top of the slime block okay i might need to work on the timings

Quickly this should be a tiny bit better so we hit the button and we drop down and then we pop back up perfect that is the way that i want to get into my real life house you know what would be perfect for up here on this area

A minecart dispenser imagine how cool it would be if we could have mine cart dispensers in minecraft so you’d have a minecart going around like this the dispenser would be pointed outwards it will be shooting arrows as it cycles around that’ll be sweet why why isn’t that a

Thing if minecart furnaces are a thing then minecart dispensers can definitely be a thing but considering we don’t have those these little strategically placed enchanted bows are gonna have to do the trick it’s just a really good bow it’s up here so that if we ever land on the

Balcony we see people coming we can pick it up and start firing not exactly exciting from a redstone or technical perspective but hey they’ll come in handy so i would say that’s enough defense for the outside of this thing so now we’re working on worst case scenario

Situations where a player has managed to get on the inside of here what i thought we’d do is start throwing in some obstacles that if they stand on them they’re going to die and we’re going to make use of this game mechanic right here so we have a piston we’re going to

Redirect that redstone signal and then when this piston gets updated using string it will instantly retract and then we’re going to use this piston to move that piston out the way so they drop through into lava it’s just working out how to do it this could actually be

A smart way to do it if it functions so if we place in this lever right here and then we update this piston making use of string maybe not a small amount of head scratching later i think this could be the way to do it it’s a tiny bit bulkier

Than i was expecting but if we stand on this string i mean everything happens pretty fast you’re gonna have to react quickly to that one and now with all of them placed in there’s plenty of opportunities to make a mistake you just have to jump over this wall slightly incorrectly land

On one of those and you’re gonna be in trouble now i think one thing that all safe houses need is a nuclear button okay you need a button that you can press that’s kind of it’s like a kamikaze button it’s like you know what there’s people in here they’re destroying the

Place they’ve managed to get into my house if i press this button right here i’m taking myself everything in the house and everyone in it with me now do we use lava where you will definitely lose all your items or do you use something like

I guess if you just had a big drop fall and then hoppers down at the bottom you can actually collect all of their stuff it can actually work out quite well yeah this is much much better and i’m thinking i’m thinking that actually the

House up at the top is sort of a dummy house like we have some good things in there but nothing too crazy i actually think the house should be somewhere down here and you have a bed down at the bottom here so you’re gonna respawn down here immediately pick up the stuff and

Probably head off into the distance and you could have you could have your bay and i think i’ve had a bit of a revelation here because you can have a bed and actually a small base down here that house up at the top is kind of like

A dummy house it’s like a it’s a decoy whereas your actual base is down here so when you die you respawn pick up all their stuff and just run off into the distance and i’m taking this idea very very seriously so i’ve just placed in a redstone torch key right here and we’re

Going to run the output of that into this piston so that if we’re walking past and we place in a redstone torch that will open up this little system and then we can drop through onto this ladder that ladder then drops us down into this corridor which takes us into this

Tiny little base area here so this is where we keep all of our valuables and we even have a little glass window so we can see where the players have dropped through oh and of course if you want to get out of this place then we have to do is hit this

Button right here and we can pop out onto the surface and then of course everything is completely hidden away so there we go i would say we have got ourselves a pretty decent safe house set up right here we have got a fully functioning blaze turret system we’ve

Got creepers that get shot out over the walls we also have vindicators or evokers that pop out of the ground and explode all over the place we’ve got a toggleable lava mote which let’s be honest looks absolutely fantastic when it all activates we’ve got little areas that

You can’t stand on that will drop the player into lava we also have technically deployed bows around the top normally redstone related but definitely helpful to have and then we also have a destruction button oh my words that’s even worse that is worse than i was expecting of course the blades have escaped

So now if you haven’t fallen into the hole you’re quickly going to get shot at by those plays and eventually probably make your way into it you’re going to die the player who owns the safe house is then going to pick up all your stuff because it’s ended up in these hoppers

He’s going to take it run off into the sunset never to be seen again it’s it’s perfect so there we have it guys i hope that you’ve enjoyed this video if you did please go to that like button and if you really loved it make sure to subscribe but thanks for watching guys

This has been mumbo and i’m out i’ll see you later oh and if you can’t tell throughout this entire video i’ve been getting progressively illar to the point that my throat is basically the size of a pee it ah i don’t know what’s happened to it it’s really bad
