I havn't played much minecraft but most of what I've done involved huge monuments (pyramids, temples, etc. ) to my greatness. This clearly means I have a huge ego.
What does your Minecraft base say about you?

I seem to be a major Nether-hopper. I'll stay somewhere for a while, build a house and whatever else I feel like building. I'll live there a good while then visit the Nether and walk around a bit, build a Portal and start the whole cycle again in a whole new place, bringing in about half the supplies I scrounged up in the last place to the new one. I guess I'm just a wandering hermit sort of person, staying somewhere for a while and then moving on. I suppose one day I'll visit the old places again. Not for a while, though.
Books. Lots of books.
I should explain, Wooden walls 2 Blocks thick, 3 Blocks high, Integrated into the surrounding area, 1 Entrance, to which some blocks are a makeshift stairway. Windows and Lava drops are in strategic places, so any intruders feel a sharp burning sensation, after falling about a billion feet.
Inside this place? Book Blocks. Lots of them. I'm in the process of making a library of sorts... Or a tower that goes into the land, instead of protruding out of it.
Oh yes, and atop this place, is perched a small layer of Stone Blocks, and a small Tree.
*Sigh* I don't know what it says about me, so make of it what you will.

hmm, i always wind up digging a hidey hole into where i found coal so i can survive the night, and then dig into that mountain. i try to find the edges of the mountain, so i can have some nice windows and rooms just to sit and look out. i also have a place with an underwater base topped by sandstone, and pretty rough on the bottom because im too lazy to smooth it out, but im thinking to make a glass ceiling for a more open feeling. also hate building things out of wood or dirt, seems to fragile.
so i guess... indoorsy, but i like to watch storms from safety, while hearing the pit pat of rain on the windows (even helps me sleep), like feeling secure definitely, but not at the cost of an open feeling. i deliberately make islands of all of my starting places, so i guess i like having a limit as to how far i can go at the beginning, so i dont feel overwhelmed.
also, my basic home and mining shaft designs were shamelessly ripped off from x. well, digging into the side of a mountain i took from him, and the x light, i just made a couple mods. and the staircase to the bottom i got from a video, also modded it to have workstations and boxes on the way down, and make detours wherever found for extra minerals. so i like improving upon others' ideas, but have few good ones of my own.
and all of my mining shafts and/or farms are built in/on/easily accessible from my house. so i like convenience.

Mine's a boxy fort built just offshore. Ground level is 'open' (glass) with a Nether portal at centre and no door (that's underwater). The level above is future expansion, the one above that is bedroom and library, and then the roof is my open-air garden. Below sea level is two levels of storage and an offshoot to my lava pits that ends in a door leading to a small underwater grove with trees and a glass roof, just barely visible from the top of my fort.
No idea what that says about me. I like things that are nondescript on the outside but have some striking things if you look closer?

After looking at the way I build, I'd say parasite.
My single player base started as a double door built into a cliff at the back of a cove. Now there is no cove. Just a fortress. Also a pit to the bottom of the map...with a glass roof over it, which doubles as a floor for my fortress.

well, to get water out of a dome, theres a couple of ways to do it. one is to build an outline of your desired base out of dirt or whatever, cover it in glass, dig under it, and mine out the stuff you outlined your base with. my idea would be to just decide on a height, pile sand that high in a rough shape of what your central dome area will be, cover it in glass, then dig down in the sand and just expand it from the bottom, breaking the glass and plugging leaks, since only flows will go into yer dome, not source blocks.Avatar Roku said:
but this is hardly my area of expertise, ive only fancied it, not actually done it. and thinking about it, you should probably outline in sandstone with just enough glass so you can keep an idea of how it looks from the inside.
well this is my base as it stands right now.

what this says about me i dont know
It began as a cobblestone 6 level structure that held my bed on the 5th with a garden of trees on the 6th. 1st floor lead to the workshop and mines. Began construction on massive suspended dirt road, ~10 blocks wide, leading from my tower's second floor to my spawn. Lit it up with several hundred torches to act as a night-time animal spawn. Began construction on add on portion that juts out from the 3rd floor and goes to the high cap. Put in a practical waterslide (top straight to the bottom) and then a fun glass waterslide that spirals around me tower into my fields.
Added second portion to dirt road that lead to a shaft that goes down to my underground castle with a lava moat at the lowest point in the world.
Built stone boat (ha!) in nearby water for no apparent reason and serves no real purpose other than looking cool.
Currently building Zeppelin made out of wood planks and various coloured Wools for the balloon.
What does this say about me? I like impressive things of an assorted variety? I must find new projects? I just like building things for the sake of building things? Yeah, probably the last one.

My current minecraft base says one thing about me:
Everything I do is pointlessly long winded and complex and could be done much more efficiently and easily

All of my rooms are at least three spaces high, I have lots of rooms but nothing in them, have paths to get to other islands nearby and have the beginnings of an outpost at around the level diamonds start being found.
To me? It's that I keep putting to mind getting stuff done and forget to get around to it. I tell myself all the time "I'll decorate this room like this!" and then never do it. I have accomplished much and have many materials but almost no use for them as I stick to some of the lower grade one's for the most part saving the diamonds for just in case situations. The issue being I have enough to make at least three diamond blocks and have some to spare. Even further three spaces high seems like way too much space but I get claustrophobic in two space high tunnels for some reason. I don't have claustrophobia, that's the weird part.

Last save i had i had about 5 bases conencted by glass tunel railways. all with lava for light usally made out of iron blocks and Lapis Lazuli blocks. i had secret underground bases beneath them all with hidden tunels, dead ends , and more secret bases off of them. one was an underwater dome, one was a tower, another was a town with two walls an outer wall and an inner wall, another was another tower with lava flowing down it into pits, and the last one was an attempt at a spaceship. Outside of these bases i had many land mines and sea mines. I don't now what that says about me.
(you might have noticed it is all in the past tense. This is because i blew it all up.)

Well i got two worlds so:
World 1:
Its a wood house with 4 floors 3 bedrooms a pegasus horse stable monorail cart to my creeper statue penthouse 1 bathroom a kitchen extra rooms for no reson a secret planning bunker a cactus defense a underground panic room a church with a portal to the nether.
Nether house:
1 bed 2 panic bunkers a bar (no idea why) and a guard tower.
Creeper penthouse:
Right foot is a dog house for my wolf left is the entrance the top body is a Small bedroom followed by a big penthouse with a sofa and fireplace a king sized bed a food dispenser a Study with a few book cases and a monorail to my main house.
World 2:
A island fully illuminated along with a bridge to the main island the house is underwater with 2 bedrooms and a fireplace with a escape hatch to the surface a crop farm another church with yet another portal and a mine with a campfire.
If you haven't noticed mine is i like to build. Alot

Mine says that given half a chance I will construct a giant obsidian (yes, slow as hell to make) doom castle on top of a floating island and subsequently be surprised when a large pine forest goes up in smoke because I completely forgot to check where the unending lava flows coming off my floating castle-isle would touch down.
World 1 - A small log cabin on top of a large mountian, with a huge basement dungeon.
World 2 - Nomad mainly with several large navigational towers. The number of lava blocks on top tells me which tower it is and the torches on the side tell me which way I am facing. Each tower is well defended and has a bed.
World 3 - A small underwater house with a nether portal. Found two huge mountains close to the draw distance apart from eachother and built a perfectly straight one block wide bridge between them. Built a large (for me) symetrical castle at the exact mid point. Castle has a nether portal and is lit by lava lamps. (Why do all my maps never have enough lava?)
