Minecraft – Survival Mountain Base Tutorial (How to Build)

Hello everybody my name is marlo and today i’m gonna show you how to build this mountainside survival base where on the inside we have basically everything you could need for the early game of survival minecraft but before i show you how to build this let’s go through the materials list first of all

And here it is so everything inside of this double chest is to the exact amount needed with the exception of this top row here and also the stack of scaffolding the scaffolding is simply here to help you build it you’re going to need something to stand on whilst you’re placing the outside blocks

So whether you use scaffolding or just grab a stack of dirt and use the old school method of scaffolding whichever you had on hand is all good but then along this top rail we have stone which is what we’re going to be using in a lot of the walls

Just to smoothen things out a little bit but do bear in mind if you have a silk touch pickaxe you’re obviously going to get quite a lot of this from digging it out probably more than you need so we’re going to use some stone that doesn’t have an exact number

And then the other three that don’t have exact numbers are strip spruce logs oak planks and ladders and that’s because the way you get into this base is basically through a trapdoor on the surface of the mountain and then you go down into the survival base

So depending on how low down or high up you’ve actually put your base will depend on how much of this resource you actually need so just grab probably this amount and it should be good but you might need less or you might need more as for the rest of the materials list

Here we have some spruce stairs spruce trap doors stryptock logs oak slabs and then oak buttons we then have some stone stairs and four andesite walls and the site instead of stone because currently at the current time of recording this video there is no stone wall

In the game but then we have 23 glass panes which you could of course make into a colored variant if you would like to and then we have some miscellaneous blocks here with the lanterns and the chains and then two flower pots which of course you need two flowers to go inside of

Them we then have four dirt and a couple of water buckets to actually hydrate the soil which of course you’re gonna need a hoe to actually till the dirt itself and then basically everything along the bottom here are just all of the blocks that are going to be helpful in survival

I’m just doing a quick scan over now in case you’re not sure as to what some of them are this base has two requirements the first one is you’re gonna need at least a 15 by seven flat surface area on the side of a mountain the second one is

Just make sure that mountain has a top that’s easily accessible as i said whilst going through the materials list that’s how we’re going to be getting into the base itself so if you want to use the same mountain face as i have here this is the world seed and these are the

Rough coordinates there’s also a couple of other good spots around here that make a good place to set this up first things first we’re gonna figure out the roundabout area where we want to build this in and make a scaffolding tower with a platform just in front of it so that you have

Something like this however i’m in creative not survival mode so i’m gonna go ahead and break this so the first thing we’re going to do is grab our strip spruce logs and place down four of them facing forwards like this and we’re going to leave a gap of three in between

Them all so the third one can go here and the final one over here we can then grab our spruce stairs and on these top two we just want them facing upwards like that and then copy it on over to the opposite side but for the upside down ones we

Basically just want to flip it on its head and have them upside down like so and you should eventually end up with something looking like this at the moment and then we can grab our strip spruce logs again and basically connect them from one stair to the other going all

The way around and eventually that will complete your first circle you can also grab some oak buttons and just place them all on the front of those blocks and now we can work on the two smaller circles on either side and these are the same so

I’ll just show you how to do one of them but we’re going to place a temporary block here in the middle of these three strip spruce logs and just cover them up with trapdoors like so you can then go ahead and break that block but then we’re gonna place in some

Spruce stairs in basically the same pattern as what we have for the big one so two upside down on the bottom and then two correct way up on the top so we have something like this which is very similar but just a smaller version as i said

And then basically just add in our stripped bruce logs and that is a smaller circle done you can then copy it around to this side too Next up you can go ahead and place in all of your glass panes here here and of course in the center here but i’m just gonna do the two smaller windows for now and come back to the larger one later just because i want to be able to easily

Access in and out of the base whilst we build it but the next thing we need to do is take back all of these stone blocks that you can see on shell by one two three and four blocks And once you’ve got that done we then want to break the four blocks here just behind those front facing pillars and replace them with strip spruce logs just like that and then we want to break the three here that will connect them both and place in

Three more on either side just like that and then we can also go ahead and get rid of all of these on the back face then we want to come to the center block here and just place in the strip logs going all the way up to

The surface and then pretty much we want to break our way up to the mountain surface this time so obviously you’re not going to be able to fly here like i am in creative you may have to come up to the mountain beforehand and dig your way down

But basically all we’re going to do here is this back block is going to become strip spruce logs and then these other three sides are going to become oak planks and of course we’re going to have our ladders on the strip logs but you can do

That all the way up to the mountain Surface and then lastly you just want to have your trapdoor here and that is how you’re going to get into the base and back out of it of course once you’ve got all of that done we can then place some furnaces along here so we’re gonna have two smokers at the bottom

Two blast furnaces above and then the rest on top can be regular furnaces obviously if you’d rather have all normal ones you can do that it’s truly up to you but next up we’re gonna look at the ceiling here and break this block and replace it with a crafting table

Now the crafting table underside actually has the same texture as no plank meaning if you place the rest of the oak slabs on top of the ceiling here you can have a sort of hidden crafting bench which doesn’t really mean anything it just is kind of cool

Next up we’re going to grab all of our barrels and sort out the main bulk of the storage which is going to be going here in the floor and what we want to do instead of placing the barrels in like this is we actually want to get the upside down texture

This one right here so what we’re gonna do is break the floor down by three blocks in total for all of these and then actually hop down into this little area and place all of the barrels upside down just make sure you have this texture facing you and not one on the side

Like that but once you’ve got all of them placed down you may want to fill this in just so you don’t get mob spawning in here and making noises whilst you’re trying to live in your survival base definitely just make sure you fill in these front six but as you can see

That right there is our new floor which is functional and can store items still and same deal with the crafting bench doesn’t really help at all just looks cooler it’s now time to start expanding to the right and to the left of the base here but

Both of these are virtually the same for the most part so i’m going to show you how to do one of them and you can either copy it on over or build them both at the same time it’s entirely up to you but the first

Thing to do is break all of these stone blocks back by one two three four and five and as you can see here this final section is actually revealing the outside which obviously isn’t a good thing so we need to do something about that we’re gonna grab

Our full stone blocks and have two here in the corner with an undecide wall in the center and same deal over here just three blocks in between the wall we just placed down and on the bottom we’re gonna have some stone stairs and on the top we’re gonna have some upside down ones

So from the outside it looks like this or from the inside it looks like this and from the outside it’s nicely covered up and looks identical to what it was before just next to the stone block here we’re going to put a chain on the spruce log with a lantern down below

Of course they’ll copy on over to this side too if you’re going about things that way but this just provides a little bit of light in here as it is awfully dark but we’re going to grab two dirt blocks and just place them right here

Next to the stone block and then we can have two upside down stone stairs above it like so we can then break this block here in the corner and then quickly place a water source down with a strip spruce log in front of it and then just bring that up by two more

And then if we just hoe our dirts here you can see that is nicely fertilized and hydrated by the water source in the corner we can go ahead and place whatever crop we want on top i’m gonna have carrots over here and potatoes over there and then finally

Just cover the front up with two spruce trap doors these three trapdoors that connect the big circle to the little circle actually make for a nice spot for a flower pot so we’re gonna put one in there and then we can turn around to this log

Here on the bottom have an upside down spruce stair with another lantern on top just to give off even more lights and then finally what we want to do here on all of the stone blocks on the ceiling just cover them up with some spruce trap doors

Just make sure they’re all facing the same way and you don’t have one that’s off like that as it’s gonna look a little bit weird just behind this lantern here we can go ahead and break these three stone blocks and replace them with some strip spruce logs

Just like that and then next up this three by three area of stone we want to break it back by one two three and then four blocks and then we just wanna break these six on both of the sides like so and we should be left with this shape right here

We can then grab our oak slabs and just have three across the top here two on either side and then three more in the middle we can then break these six blocks here and replace them with some barrels whether you want to have them facing upwards like this or place them so that

You have the upside down texture entirely up to you but for the most part that is where the identicality of these two sides end things then start to differentiate just a little bit so go ahead and copy all of what we’ve done here over to the other side and then we can

Work on both of these sides separately so one of these sides is going to be an enchanting setup and the other is going to be a spot for your bed and all of the other crafting blocks like cartography tables looms and brewing stands that sort of thing so pick whichever side

You want to be your enchanting area because that’s the one we’re going to be doing first it truly does not matter i’m going to pick the right side over here and break these six stone blocks in the corner and the top block can become a strip spruce log like so and

Underneath on either side we can have two bookshelves and then just in front of them we can have three like that same again over here and then five in the middle in this u-shape that right there is 15 bookshelves which will give a total of 30 levels

In the enchanting table here in the very center on these three spots we’re just gonna have an ender chest a grindstone and then an anvil over on the other side here where the bedroom is gonna be going we’re going to start off once again by breaking these six stone

Blocks but this time replacing them all with strip spruce logs no book shelves over here and then we can grab our eight chests and just place two on top of each other double chest that is on both of the two sides and then we’re gonna place down all of the blocks i’m

Scrolling across here so it doesn’t really matter too much how you place these but what i’m gonna do is have a cartography table then a loom then a smithing table stone cutter in the middle and then two brewing stands for no other reason than symmetry and finally our bed can go

Just in front of the loom next up we’re gonna grab our strip toke logs and basically break every single stone block on the floor and replace it with the log itself so obviously for the enchanting area we can just go ahead and break all of these nice and straight forward but for the

Bedroom it’s a tiny bit more complicated the only thing i really need to mention is just make sure you get the ones under the bed and then under the chest as well everything else should be fairly obvious so you should have something that looks like this

In the end now all of mine are facing the same way but if you wanted to you could make a bit of a crisscross pattern and just do something a little bit different like this if you wanted to but i think for this situation the ones all facing the same way

Actually look the best just a couple of final things left to do the first one is if you haven’t already place in all of your glass panes like so which obviously will look better if you have optifine running because these will all be connected textures and just look a lot smoother like it

Does in the thumbnail or right here for example so if you want to get it how it looks like that just google optifine and install it and make sure you have connected textures on but the very final thing to do is something that i’ve actually got pretty lucky with here

And not found any blocks that aren’t stone in the wall but you just want to grab your excess stone and say for example you have something that looks like this which admittedly yes i’ve just added in myself but pretty much we only want the stone

Blocks here on show so maybe if you had some dirt just get rid of that or some ugly granite you want to go ahead and smoothen things out with the regular minecraft stone so that everybody is the tutorial all done the base is now complete and i really

Hope you did enjoy watching and you enjoy your new home if you’re choosing to build this in your survival world thank you so much for watching i hope you enjoyed and i’ll see you next time bye for now
