Minecraft Base on a Lake with FREE World Download

Almost everybody builds their base on the land why not change it up a little build it on the water it’s safer for mobs it’s beautifully flat and frankly sometimes it can look really good so today I’m going to show you how to build this awesome Lake base let’s go I’m

Going to change it up a little bit today I’m bored of building on the land obviously I’m totally not but I had to introduce the video somehow didn’t I so today this lake is going to be our canvas and I’ve picked a really gorgeous seat for it look there’s a village in

The background there’s a huge ocean right next to it and the biomix is absolutely brilliant and that’s really important because I’m giving this to you as a world download in both bedrock and Java editions and I’ll give you details on how to access those world downloads a

Little bit later on in the video and just to confirm they are completely free but now I’ve got to decide where on this Lake I’m going to put this base and I think I’m going to make it easy for myself and use the shallow bit in the

Middle just means I’ll need fewer blocks to get down to the bottom this is not a floating base it’s going to be stuck to the bottom like all bases should be otherwise it would look weird now we are going to be making this up a little bit

As we go along in terms of the palette and the blocks we use but this is what I’m going to start with so take a screenshot pause the video whatever it is you want to do let’s crack on so I’ve come out to about where I want one edge

Of my base to be and I’m going to play Spruce Wood one two three and four until it just pokes out of the water and I’m going to put outward one two on top of that and that way the Spruce Wood looks a little bit like it’s wet Oak that’s

Quite a cool little trick you can use just to make things look a little bit more real I’m then going to place 47 temporary blocks I’m just using wall but you can use whatever block you wanted and then the other end of that I’m going to place another Oak and Spruce column

So it looks like that that orange block there is right in the center I’m then going to place 23 more temporary blocks coming off either side of that Central orange block and then put Oak and Spruce pillars at each end of that one too so you should end up with something that

Looks like that and then using Oakwood I’m going to make a 49 block diameter circle around the top of these posts so that means I’m placing a block there and then I’m coming out one two three and four and then coming in one block and I’m coming out another one two three and

Four and then I come in one and come out another two one another two one and another two and then I have to zigzag six times one two three four five and six and when then repeat what we did at the other end in Reverse so from the end

Of this block we’re coming out one two and coming out one two coming out one and two then we’re coming out one two three and four and then we’re coming out one two three and we finish off on top of that pillar that is one quarter of

Our Circle so just repeat that on the other three segments which will look like that we’re then going to make another circle inside of it is 21 blocks wide which means we place our oak wood 10 blocks from our Central Block in all four corners and from that block we’re

Going to come out one two three in one two and then we’re gonna go one two three and four then we’re going to come out two like that and then there and back and back which gives us one segment do that on all of the sides and you

Should have a platform that looks like that and build some pillars on these circles as well going all the way down to the bottom and make sure you use that Spruce under the water just to give that a wet effect you can then get rid of those temporary

Blocks then on each of these long straight edges which they should be nine long if you’ve done it correctly we’re going to create a nine by nine square so we’ve got one block there two three four five six seven eight nine and then carry on the Square and I’ve placed more legs

Going down on each of those corners and if you come to the zigzag on the side of your circle here if you start the zigzag with that corner so we’ve got one two three blocks and then it turns into two we’ve got one two three four five six

Seven teeth before we go into again so count in the middle one two three and four and under that one build a leg and do that again on each of the four sides so with all its legs it’s gonna look like that but it’s not much of a base

Yet so we need to start building up the structure and specifically the floor I’m going to start with some mud brick and I’m going to use mud brick stairs to go all the way around the outside and do make sure that all your Corners are formed properly it’s really easy to

Place these when and you’ve got lots of little corners and they don’t quite work so make sure it is a smooth stair line you can see that one hasn’t formed properly so I need to knock out that block replace that there and now that’s nice and smooth and just keep placing

These all the way around until you catch up with yourself on the other side and we’re then going to fill in the area between your big circle and your little circle with some stripped oak wood this is very Oak Rich my version of this but you don’t have to use these blocks if

You don’t want to make sure that your stripped Oak however is all facing in the same direction by placing it in the same direction you can see I’m facing this way with every block that I’m placing and we’ve then got that nice straight line otherwise what happens is

You get little bits going sideways like that now if you like that effect so give it a little bit of texture go for your life but for me for this part of the build I’d like it all very straight and natural so it looks like that now I want

To section off this bit in the middle from the rest of the lake this is going to be a manual kelp farm right in the middle of our base so I’m going to use glass blocks I’m going to build all the way down from under this Oak right to

The lake bed and I’ve also placed in five lanterns one next to each post and one right in the middle with some ladders going down the post so you can easily get in and out and I’ve kept it really natural looking it’s not just one solid block of kelp although you could

Do that if you wanted to I didn’t want it to look too artificial so we’ve got a platform and a kelp farm right in the middle we need to do a lot more though I’m gonna get Oak log and I’m going to place it strategically around the edge

Of the base so on the outside of these squares I’m going to place it on that block not that block there that’s not the one we want we want it on that block right there and then going to do that on all of the other squares as well and

Then between them I’m also going to place it on the Block that has the pillar going down and then I’m going to come across too and I’m going to count in this one two three four five then the three and then this three I’m going to

Place it there and I’m going to come the other way one two three four five then the three and there’s three and play I sit there and do the same all the way around and I’ve also placed them around the center circle one at each end of the

Long end there and one right in the middle where we’ve got one two three four five teeth it is on that third tooth and we’re gonna raise this Central Area upwards I’ve made each of these pillars four high and then at the top of the pillar over where we have these oak

Logs I’m placing Spruce fence so just mirroring that Spruce fence to make the circle that we have got over those oak logs that comes out like that that comes out like that and that joins up and I’m going to do that all the way around and

Then on top I’m going to put another circle of oak wood I’m then trimming it with these mud brick stairs just like last time I’m then going to fill it in with this stripped out log in the same direction as the bottom section so we’ve got a matching top floor and ground

Floor well it’s not actually a ground floor it’s more of a waterfall but you know what I mean and I’ve placed some lanterns underneath just so it’s not dark that should help with drown spawning inside of our kelp Farm although if you want to light it up a

Little bit more there’s nothing wrong with that I’m then going to fill in all of these four n squares with dirt I’m going to fix up all of these logs that are facing the wrong way so I’m just take them out pop them in so they’re all facing in the same direction obviously

When we’ve got a corner it’s difficult to make it face in the same direction but let’s pop them all like that it just looks a lot neater I’m then going to come to the center of my dirt one two three four across and one two three four

In I’m gonna pop that out place in a bottom slab and I’m going to water log it and I’m then going to hoe the entire area and I’ve planted those four platforms up one with wheat one with carrots one with potatoes and one with melons and

Pumpkins I’m then going to use Oak fence and trim it all the way around so far it should look like that but right now you can’t get to this upper platform so we’re going to build some steps up and we’re going to do it symmetrically so

I’m going to take out all of these blocks along the side here I wasn’t going to do this but I’ve changed my mind so just proves I’m making it up as I go along let’s get all of these out and I’m going to build a set of steps

That goes down onto the platform from these four sides it seems The Logical way to do it a little bit like a Mayan Temple style step but we need to keep these sections accessible otherwise we won’t be able to get into our kelp farm and I think that is going to work there

Is a gap underneath it to be able to get in this will be quite good for perhaps some storage and upside down steps go all the way up to the top plenty of access for the kelp Farm I’m going to put one of those on all four sides so it

Looks like that I’ve added some fence posts up on each step as well and then I’ve put fence in all the way around around the top increase in the height of that middle pillar and this area up at the top is where we’re going to live and

It’s going to be a nine by nine square I’ve built those four columns up five high and I’m going to put in some cross beams and some pop outs this is going to be an oak building but it’s not going to be a house in the traditional sense because it’s not going

To have walls really it’s just going to have four arches going in each direction we don’t really need doors because this is going to be completely mob proof and as a result of that mob proofness we don’t actually have to block our way with doors so we might as well make it

Open so before we decorate it and put in some detail it’s going to look like that and we’re also going to put a four-way roof on it we’re going to give a slight color accent with this gray Cobble there’s nothing else gray so we’re going

To use the Cobble on here I’m going to place a slab there and a step there and a step there the reason we’re putting a slab here is we’ve got to put a step it doesn’t link up with both sides does it so we need to put in a slab I’m then

Going to put in an upside down step a normal step an upside down step and then they’re going to put a cobble block and I’m going to bring it another upside down step a normal step there and then another Cobble block like that and then a normal size step there and I’m going

To repeat that all the way around so the roof of our house looks like this I’ve completed the top of the Gable there with a little bit of a pop out upside down step for a bit of depth and I’m going to create the rest of this roof in

Cobbled deep slate so I’m going to pop one block there I’m going to bring that around there that around there and when that joins up together that will create a join and then going to pop a cobbled deep slate block there and there there and there and then join that up as

Well I’m going to do that all the way around so there’s our roof right in the middle of our platform but it still looks a little bit angular look these lines are just too straight so we need to break them up I’m getting a cobblestone a block or a deep slate

Cobble block anyway and I’m going to change up some of these steps so they’re into blocks you can see that really changes the way they work I’m just going to try and fix that so that goes like that excellent and then I’m going to pop that there and that there as well I’m

Going to do that all the way around but then I’m going to switch out some of the deep slate comedy slate blocks into normal deep slate just gives you a slightly different texture that’s not going to work that’s gonna have to go like that I’m going to take

This one perhaps change that into deep so you can see the texture is ever so slightly different and as a result it makes for a slightly more interesting looking roof and I now need to give this roof a gradient look how flat that is it looks absolutely ridiculous so I’m going

To pop one Cobble deep slate block against each of these like that and I’m going to get a copper deep slate slab and I’m going to put two copper deep slake slabs just like that that gives a nice edge and a gradient to the roof as

Well I now need to fill in the end of this Gable on top of the wall with some stripped Oak however I am going to leave a too high hole right in the middle there for a window now these wooden platforms are pretty big and I think I need to close

Them in just a little bit otherwise it just looks way too wasted so what I’m going to do I’m gonna pop that out there I’m going to come out in a zigzag right the way across to the end of the circle in Geometry should mean that we are over that

Pillar yes we are okay so that works I’m now going to create a ceiling across the entirety of this area and what I’m going to try and do is when I get to about here I’m going to bring it down a level like that and as a result of that coming down a

Level it will give a curved feel to the entire roof I think that looks pretty cool let’s do that on the other three obviously we’re gonna need to put a little bit of light in here so let’s get some of these fence posts lit up yet I’m

Very happy with the way that’s come out and now really all we’ve got left is detailing and decoration which means I’m going to be popping in some trap doors some buttons obviously I’m going to be bringing in some bushes detailing up the flat walls of this house at the back

There and I think that sounds like something a time lapse would do so sit back relax enjoy the music and let’s finish this thing off foreign Foreign Simple but effective and I’ve left lots of space for you to be able to put what you want into it but what I have given you are four different villager trades a kelp Farm which you could also fish in for food Farms storage all over the base

Your nether portal hidden in the roof of your house and something that looks actually pretty cool go to avimadge.com and hit free downloads on that tab there will be a link specifically for the Bedrock world and also the Java world and I really really hope you enjoy it

That’s all for this one let me know in the comments below if you’re going to download it or if you’re going to do your own version of it sometimes changing up the palette can make it look completely different I did ever go at this with a stone palette and it does

Look absolutely fantastic so I challenge you to do that and I’ll look forward to seeing you in another video you take it easy now bye
