If you’re looking for the best Minecraft bases, then you have come to the right place. In this article, we’ll cover only the 10 best Minecraft bases you can incorporate anywhere you want in your world. They’re the best way to store all your belongings and valuables, so we decided to present you only the best you can build anytime you want.
You will want to build at least one of these bases because of their unique design and the fact that you’ll like at least one from today’s list! You will be able to easily replicate them in your Minecraft world by following the videos we left beneath every build.
Survivalist Underground Base
So let’s start with something quite interesting. The survivalist underground base is a base you’ll want to build just before your first night starts. It will cover you and protect you from all the dangers of the outside world and all the hostile mobs you can find.

It uses simple blocks such as glass, stone slabs, and wooden planks, and the best part is that you’re ceiling is completely transparent, so you can see everything going on outside!
It’s minimalist, but it still looks well put together, especially for an underground base that you can construct immediately. The only issue is finding sand and fuel to smelt it.

Fortified Tower
The next base idea is for more defensive purposes. The fortified tower is a base you will want to build to defend yourself from other hostile mobs. It can even help you defend your loot from other players if you’re playing on a server.

It’s a simple tower design made with dark types of wood, combining stone blocks such as cobblestone and a few variants of stone blocks.
It’s good if you want to protect yourself from all kinds of threats, and it can serve as an outpost if you’re tired of using it as a base and want to move on somewhere else. Or you can create temporary fortified tower bases worldwide without getting lost.
You can be pretty creative with this design.

Circular Ground Base
The next Minecraft base idea is not safe, but it’s one of the best-looking on this list. It’s an open circular ground base where you can fit everything you need and want. It’s built like the Roman colosseum, which makes it really cool, as it goes in-depth underground giving some levels to the base.
In Minecraft, you’ll mostly see cube-shaped base designs, so it’s nice to see something out of the ordinary from time to time, especially when it decides to use depth as a part of its design.
Standing out with its unique shape and design, you can create all sorts of variations of this base. If you become attached to it, you can upgrade and use it for the rest of your Minecraft playthrough.

Mini-Fortress
The next Minecraft base perfectly combines the fortified tower and the circular ground base we covered in this article. It’s a mini fortress with cobblestone walls that protect the main tower from the outside world.

Inside the garden, you can plant some seeds to have a reliable food source or bring some animals. The base itself is quite cheap and pretty. It looks like an outpost of some sort.
It’s an upgrade to the fortified tower base we covered on this list and a more substantial and sustainable variation.

Small Survivor Base
The next Minecraft base is perfect if you’re looking for a small, compact, useful, efficient survival base. It’s made out of cheap and simple blocks like oak logs, wooden planks, and cobblestones.

And it’s the main purpose to store as many animals, food, and storage as possible while protecting the player from enemies. It’s very useful and cozy at the same time, so I recommend you build it before your first night if you aren’t a fan of underground bases.
You can even build multiple of these if you want to, as they’re cheap but more valuable than they seem at first glance. You can use different blocks to build them if you like some other aesthetic. The design is customizable.

The Futuristic Dome
The next Minecraft base design is quite different from the last ones I covered in this article, as it takes more of a futuristic spin on base designs. The futuristic dome is a giant modern-looking dome made out of quartz and blue stained glass, which, when together, look fantastic.

The base itself is huge and looks like an alien settlement or something you would see on another planet. The only issue with this base is that you need to clear out a lot of space to blend it in with the terrain generation.
It’s pretty expensive, but a base for you if you’re a real megalomaniac ready to take things over the top. It will shock all of your friends.

Ultimate Swamp Base
When discussing size, it really does matter when looking at some Minecraft base designs. Like the futuristic dome, this ultimate swamp base is also one of the biggest bases you’ll see on this list, and it looks flawless.
The ultimate swamp base is meant to be created in a mangrove swamp biome, and the way dark prismarine blocks and nether portals are incorporated into this dark theme design is so pretty that it would be a shame not to have this in your Minecraft world.
Modelling the tree and leaves will be tiring, but if you genuinely love building and being created in Minecraft, then this base is the one you should choose. So if you have a problem with building trees in Minecraft, you should check Grian‘s video on how to make them much better than before! That’ll definitely help you with this base design.
Don’t forget to also check out the video on how to build the Ultimate Swamp Base. Make sure to closely follow the instructions for the best outcome!

Stone Bridge Temple Base
This is a more monumental base design, which is cool. The stone bridge temple base is a base idea that looks like one of those ancient civilization temples you would find somewhere in the middle of the Amazon in South America.

It’s interesting how you can build this in any biome you want, as stone bricks and cobblestone go with the majority of the blocks in the game. This Minecraft base idea is perfect for surprising your friends, especially if you don’t immediately reveal the base to them.
It’s cheap, but create a stone cutter before building it. So you can perfectly mold all the required stone blocks.

Deep Underwater Base
This next Minecraft base design takes underwater building ideas to another level. The deep underwater base is a huge futuristic base made of quartz blocks, glass panes, and other modern decorations.

It’s big enough to be your main base throughout your entire playthrough and one of the most stylish on this list. So if the whole underwater style and idea are your aesthetic, you should definitely build this in your world.
If you build it among the coral reefs like in the picture above, you’ll feel how it is to play Minecraft on a different level. It’s a recipe for making other people jealous of your build.

The Treehouse Fortress
And the final base design will be perfect for medieval and magic aesthetic enthusiasts! This Minecraft base is a huge treehouse fortress. The treehouse fortress is surrounded by multiple rows of fences made of logs and leaves with real working food farms between them.

It’s best to build it in the plains biome where everything is flat, as it will stand out the most. The tree is custom-made, and it’s lighted by lanterns which just make the whole aesthetic feel more alive and beautiful.
And I should also mention it has a hidden underground area which is an entire base on its own! You can do whatever you want with this base without heavily modifying the tree or outside surroundings.
