How to make a nice underground starter base in Minecraft survival.

I've done TONS of screenshot while playing minecraft to remind myself of the steps to build stuff in survival.

So I decided I would publish them as tutorials here. Here is the first one with an underground starter base.

Step 1: Gather all the building blocks

Here is the list of all the blocks you will need to build this base.

• 35 spruce slabs
• 31 spruce logs
• 33 spruce planks
• 9 glass blocks
• 3 spruce trapdoors
• 7 torches
• 1 bed
• 9 barrels
• 1 crafting table
• 2 furnaces
• 3 ladders
• 9 spruce stairs
• 4 stone pressure plates

Which means you will have to collect a little more than a stack of wood logs for this (about 70 logs). I personally use giant spruce trees for that, you can easily get a full stack of wood with one of them.

Note: If you don't have spruce, it's not a big deal, it works with any type of wood.

Step 2: Build it!

Here are the screenshots of all the steps to build this underground base.

Build the top

Dig a 3x3x4 hole

Dig all the dirt and stone under the slabs and logs

Build the inside skeleton with logs

Dig the "arcs"

On the "ladder side", fill with planks. Otherwise, dig a 3 block hole on the middle

Fill the 2 sides with planks

Place 3 stairs on the top and 3 barrels in the middle

On one side, place a bed, on another place 2 furnaces and 1 crafting table.

Fill the floor with planks

Place torches as such

Cover the middle torch with carpets

Place some pressure plates and glass on the top area.

Conclusion

You now have a nice little base to begin with.

You can also use the unused side for a mine entrace with a bubble elevator or simple ladders for example.

I hope you enjoyed this first tutorial. Have a great day!
