Minecraft: Ultimate Underground Base (How to Build)

Hello everybody my name is Marlo today we are going to be building this underground base which is perfect for any survival world so we have this big area split up into five different rooms in the center is storage and then the others are for enchanting smelting crop

Harvesting and sleeping I should say I was heavily inspired to make this video by gold Robin who gave me the original idea with his underground base which is pretty much a smaller version of what I’ve done here so make sure you check out his links in the description he

Makes some really really cool stuff unlike my other tutorials I’m not gonna go through showing you block by block exactly where to place everything otherwise this is gonna be a very long video but I am gonna try walk you through the process in a tutorial esque

Manner the first thing to do is lay out all of our rings I’m doing this in spruce logs for now so you can clearly see how many blocks I’m actually placing down but then I can go ahead and change all of those out for a spruce planks

Then we can add in all of our slabs and stairs the blue is where you place the stairs and the red is where you place the slabs All of the parts tower three blocks long on our rings can be replaced with some strips Bruce logs and then three trapdoors on the middle of each of those and then I’m gonna place some buttons down on these blocks here the last thing to do before we can head underground is

To place in all of the glass you’re gonna have to do a fair bit of digging now so make sure you’re nice and prepared but we’re gonna have to lower the floor down four blocks beneath all of the glass it’s looking quite messy down here so before we go any further we

Need to sort out the walls and the floors so to do that Graham pretty much any type of grey stone you can think of and begin to texturize I myself I’m using mostly stone and stone brick but also throwing in a little bit of andesite and cobble here and there we do

Need to sort out a way to get inside so on the center ring we can flip up all of these trapdoors and remove the blocks just like I’m doing here and add in a ladder to climb in and out with ease as far as connecting up all of the rooms is

Concerned we are just going to use two doors beside each of the ladders with a pressure plate in the middle to open them finally we can now start to decorate all of the rooms so this is where the time-consuming part of the video would take place if I were showing

You how to do this one block at a time so instead I’m gonna time-lapse each of them and then we can check them out in first person and I’ll explain a little bit about why I’ve done first up the storage room 24 double chess I would say that should be plenty of storage we’ve also got some item frames on the side of each of them so you can display whatever is you’re gonna be storing inside of the chest and under all of them we have some trapdoors with some hidden lighting down below so

We can light up this area a little bit and make sure there’s gonna be no mob spawns and then in the four corners we have our fledging table and smithing table currently don’t have a use in the game at the moment but I’m sure the fletching table will at some point and the

Smithing table should when 1.16 is released and over on the other side cartography table and stonecutter you may be wondering where the loom is well we’ve got that somewhere else in the base sivadier need to worry about having it in here and we can keep hitting nice and symmetrical but in the

Center we have our very much needed crafting bench with some upside-down barrels as extra storage if needed and then i’ve also added in some of these strips bruce logs on the walls in replace of the stone as some structural supports You So this is the enchanting room as you can see we have placed a butt ton of bookshelves going along the wall here as well as added in some more of these support beams in these four locations which we’re going to do the same with the other three rooms just breaks up the

Stone walls a little bit and makes it look a bit more supported I think but as you can see we’ve staggered some of these bookshelves going around the edge so we can stack some things on top of them like some flower pots and lanterns for lighting up this area a bit and then

Some anvils and the ground stone because those are very helpful for our enchanting the station down here which we have enough bookshelves by many more than we actually need to be able to get 30 levels which is always handy another light source underneath just to brighten

The area up a little bit and of course some upside-down barrels as extra storage and some nice paintings on the wall here as this bit felt a little bit empty but wait what is this mysterious pressure plate doing on the floor here well I’ve done some piston trickery and

Added in a secret entrance through the bookshelves into a room which has our nether portal we’ve done a bit of a cave vibe in here which i think looks pretty cool with some lanterns that’s lighting of course I didn’t think a nether portal really warranted its own area in the

Base so it’s got its own offshoot here with a hidden entrance behind the bookshelves which I think’s a pretty cool thing to do but anyway next up the smelting room You Now I know we could have taken a bit more of an easier and manual approach to this by just put in some furnaces in the wall by that we would also make things a little bit so we’ve got a somewhat of a super smelter going around the edge here

Which I think bends quite nicely to the shape of the room but how this works is there are some hoppers underneath all of these furnaces which will take out the smelter items and accumulate them in this chest here obviously furnaces on top with some hoppers on top of those

With a rail which is where our minecart hopper where you can put your items you want to be smelted glass cobblestone some food maybe whatever you want and you can send on its way and it will go run filling up all of the furnaces until it’s completely empty and then you can

Just stop it over there and yet all of your items will return to this chess so thought that was they’re pretty cool to do instead of just yeah plopping them in the wall like I was originally just got a little bit of lighting and some storage here if needed and then in the

Center because these are only furnaces and we have smokers and blast furnaces we’ve just got some of them in the floor here and underneath this slab is actually a campfire I can just place that back so it looks like they’re on and smelting away with all of these

Smoke particles that are coming up In here is where we’re growing all of our crops I would imagine there’s some pretty good photosynthesis going on with the giant skylight we have on all of the rooms but on this one here I’ve planted all for crop variants just because I think it looks pretty cool that way but

Say baked potatoes are your main food source you would obviously only plant potatoes in here golden carrots you need carrots wheat for bread and maybe there’s some very strange people of you out there that only beetroot soup you would need a whole lot of be true in here but I don’t

Think that really applies to anybody because these are kind of pointless and then we have some lanterns just to eliminate any mob spawns some barrels on the side in between these trap doors that look a little bit like shelves holding them in place maybe you could

Store a hoe or two in here just in case you accidentally trample some farmland and below them we have some composters where you can deposit some extra seeds you get maybe in return for some bone meal but last but not least the room we have to do now is the bedroom you You So this is the bedroom my favorite area in the whole of the base I think we’ve got a lot of stuff going on in here so let’s go around and do one at a time I guess we can start over here with our little storage area which has some

Barrels obviously you can actually use it but we’ve just placed some trapdoors in certain variants to look a little bit like some shelves maybe obviously we’ve got a few lanterns dotted around to brighten this area up and then we’ve got a carpet on the floor here this is some

Sort of cupboard and here is where our looms are placed we’ve just got them facing backwards so it looks a little bit like shelves but obviously if you need to you can actually use them if you’re in the need of a banner and inside the cupboard here we have our armorstand displaying some

Armor of our choosing over here is a neat little shelfing design with some items on show we’ve got a flowerpot an item frame with something inside I chose an axe we’ve got some turtle eggs here which you can have as many as you want I myself I’m gonna go

With three then this is a armor stand with a gold helmet on top now in case you don’t catch how I did this in the time lapse I’ll explain it now so pretty much this is an armor stand with only a golden helmet dropped onto four layers

Of snow which then allows the golden helmet to just poke above the trap door there which I think looks pretty cool due to this not being a full block you can’t display most items in here so it needs to be some sort of entity same deal with this item frame here but over

On this side we’ve got another little shelving unit same deal with these sieve decals you can have as many as you want I’m gonna give it two looks a bit of a little bit like burnt out candles maybe and yet another lantern with some extra storage if needed and to last things our

Writing and reading station over here some bookshelves nice little flower pot on top and maybe you’re in the process of writing a novel so we’ve got a lectern with and right with a book and quill on display here nice low chair out front and then of course the main area

Of sleep the bed we’ve just put a sign on the end just so it doesn’t suddenly drop off and makes it look a little bit more interesting I suppose some flower pots on display and then behind here we’ve just done a bit of extra hidden lighting just to lighten up this place a

Little bit so the entire base with how I’ve done all of the lighting be above block light level 8 or level 7 sorry I should say the lowest it gets to is 8 but you can always hide a little bit more here and there but as long as

It’s above 7 you should be good and just like that the base is all done and honestly it’s really cool kind of walking around here going from room to room with the addition of the pressure plates here makes it a lot easier to get around perhaps you could always have

Some more on this side but does have issues with stuff like that going on so yeah just be careful but it’s probably not that often you’re gonna be walking around here loads and lows so yeah a little flick of the door probably won’t hurt you every now and again but

All-in-all I am really happy with how this turned out so that everybody is the underground base fully complete I hope you do like this it should make for a pretty nice and functional home in your survival world also let me know of any changes you made perhaps you replaced one of the

Rooms with something else I’d be very intrigued to hear what you did differently once again thank you so much to Gold Robin for the inspiration for this one and thank you to all of you for watching I hope you did enjoy and I will see you next time bye for now
