1. Use a circle template, like this one, and build the outline of your base. I used a little over a stack of cobblestone for the one I used for my base, #19.
2. Smelt a ton of sand into glass. I used almost three stacks of glass panes for the next step.
3. Glass panes are cheaper, but are harder to build with. I placed two layers of glass panes on the cobblestone outline. Your home is now animal-free, so you can move in if you're playing on peaceful. Don't turn all of your glass into panes, because you'll need some glass blocks later.
4. On the parts of the circle outline that have two blocks diagonally next to each other, you'll need to use an extra glass pane for it to look good from the outside. See diagram below:
5. Continue placing layers of cobblestone on the circle outline. You can add windows now if you want, but the way I do the lighting in my base, you don't need windows on the walls.

6. It's up to you how high you want the ceilings on each floor in your base (or if you want ceilings at all.) I built a pretty small circle, so no ceilings wouldn't have looked very good. If you build a bigger circle, you can just have no ceiling. It feels open and looks really cool. Here's an example. I personally hate the feeling of two-block-high ceilings, and if you have a bed inside your house, two-block-high-ceilings won't work. I always have three or four-block-high ceilings. Fill in the ceilings on a few floors, depending on how high you want your ceilings to be, how high you built the cobblestone wall in step five, and how many floors you want.
7. Decide if you want just a central ladder going through your base, or stairs in between each floor. In my base, I have a central ladder and stairs going between areas that I use a lot.
8. Make sure you have the ceiling of the top floor done. Now it's time for the lighting. You can use torches if you want, but I personally think glowstone looks really good. Get a stack to a stack and a half of glass blocks. Not panes, those look horrible when you use them in ceilings and you keep falling through them if you're not careful.
9. You can choose exactly how you want to do this step. On the roof, make rings of glass around the place where the ladder comes out, and have a regular patter of glowstone. You can use anywhere between 4 and 24 glowstone on each floor. depending on how big your base is and how much glowstone you have. Check out my other Minecraft PE Base post for more pictures. Here's one:
My kids want to know if the picture of the base is yours or if you got the pic from someone else.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not. Thank for thinking it's mine, though! I'm glad you think I'm that awesome :D
