I always have to much stone after a few months so I always end up making a castle. The basic design I stole from a youtuber, Grian. The rest I created myself. The interiors are done as basically as possible and I might fill them in if I find some kind of inspiration. I do like to make sure you can get all around the castle easily without eletra, so the there are lots of doors and passages.

Also, I know just how phallic it looks. I don't know if it says more about me that I always build castles I think end up looking that way, or that I always think towers have that look.

Thanks for checking it out!

Your original base at the top is incredible, that's a really good use of such an island. I love the application of prismarine, I can't seem to do it justice. Your hallways look great and the green bridge fog is beautiful. As for the purple castle, that's breathtaking.

Added some things, beginning of a village outside the castle, with shops and vendor stalls, plus a windmill on the hill. Added a large main entrance bridge and a smaller double bridge to get to the windmill. The windmill is completely copied from Grian (youtube) and the double bridge is a design taken from Jerracraft (youtube) everything else are my designs.

Thanks for checking it out!

@Yelloms Hey man ! Is there any way to contact you privately? On discord for example.

Got discovered, it always happens. Whoever found it was actually pretty kind as far a greifing goes so I got some final pictures for myself. Now I'm moving on to build another base. Looks like I still need to try harder to hide my builds, but it's part of what I love about this server.

Thank you all for the comments on these builds, it makes building them and watching them burn totally worth it.

That was quick :/

Another inside job it seems

No inside job, I found a spot I liked and built there. I had 3 beacons activated and the area wasn't small, I got unlucky with someone flying over head or someone noticed where I had been using the nether. It happens with every map, I could do a lot more to protect myself but as time goes on I get lazier and lazier when it comes to covering my tracks.

@Yelloms

it's likely one

if you haven't been keeping a close eye on things lately major bases left and right has been getting raided and grefied lately

Unless it was an admin, which it wasn't, no one has ever been to my base, that was something I learned very early on. I have never warped anyone there, I have never told anyone coords, I have never even let on a general direction or distance from spawn. I built in common biomes so I could post pictures without giving to much away.

I promise you, I got unlucky, someone found it. It happens... every map.

I needed to move on after the raid so I built this a temp base, but it was such a pain to build it will probably end up being the center of my new place. It is my best attempt to copy Starbug from the TV show Red Dwarf, one of my favorites. This build is all my design which is why the proportions are a little off and the detail is lacking, but it was SUPPOSED to be a quick temp base. I will try to improve it as I go. Also forgive the Elytra pictures, my flying skills are lacking.

Thanks for checking it out!

Dug a hole to to planet core! Or at least that is what I wanted it to look like, didn't come out quite as cool as I had hoped but it at least makes a good floor for my new base. I will NEVER build with black concrete ever again...

What's wrong with black concrete? Although it was a total pain when I used it in a statue build, I could not tell if i placed 1 or 2 or 3, lol

LAVA under several layers of red and orange glass might change the earth core look. Also a few well placed pistons under the lava on timers could create a bubblying / splashing effect. Just a thought.

black concrete is a nightmare - i whole heartedly agree with yelloms

All you space builders should get together! @Yelloms, @Slainte_Alainn @bgmg and build a spectacular space themed base.
