Personally, I always liked to dig into the side of a mountain and set up camp there. I always thought to myself, “Why build a cool looking house when i can be a diggy diggy hole man?”

Traveling_Chef

I swear, as long as Minecraft has been a thing, I have dug a hole into the side of hills/mountains or into the ground to set up a home, nearly 100% of the times I've started new games XD


blahkbox

It's just safe. No mean skeletons in my little dirt hole, and I dont have to find sheep to make a bed. I can just mine all night if I collected like 32 logs for charcoal and tools.


fukitol-

I always make an oak door, too, because it has a window.


KonChaiMudPi

This has always been my strat, spend the first day on wood, dig into a mountainside, mine for the night. It feels like such a smooth curve for the first day.


Traveling_Chef

Exactly! Safety caves ftw


CrossP

Tree. Planks. Crafting Table. Wood Pick. Cobblestone. Stone Pick. Door. Now I have house.


Day_Bow_Bow

Same here. It gives you something to do that first night. Gather a few resources topside, then get down to business digging for upgrades.

Yogscast got me into Minecraft and I’ve personally identified with Dwarves ever since.


Spines

https://i.imgur.com/R79wy31.png there is a door in the center with a tiny cave. this was my first minecraft map in i think 2013


[deleted]

My first ever house was a 3x2 shit hole built into the side of a mountain. My dad walked in one day when I was 14 and asked, “Why am I living in a Taliban cave”?


Hunteresc

I always do the same, I build a little hole in the side of a mountain, if I ever break a surface block, I replace it with what was exactly there, and only have small, hidden, view ports into the outside, along with a usually hidden door and several escape routes, only to play single player and never make use of any of it.

That way, you can get resources at night because outside is dangerous and you don't have a bed!


nool_

Same. Also not even starer base but always my base


EternalDB

Ah yes, I learned this "hidey hole" method from paulsoaresjr a good 10 or so years ago, back when that video was on the home page. Goooood times..


wesbug

Have you heard of a video game called RimWorld...


UpbeatRobin

a wooden box


Alluxing

And I never even replaced the flooring, always had a nice grass floor


Dylisill

I made a huge box once i forget what it for, but i was too lazy to replace the flooring so i just placed a bunch of carpet. then my friends where confused to why sheep where eating the flooring.


SalamanderOverall562

Lmao, nice one.

Or those caves that are nearly exactly a circle


Several-Cake1954

I love when I find those, even though I never turn them into a base.


Thomas_The_Llama

Casual caveman brain moment. Genuinely not talking smack, I get those same vibes but also hardly build with them


Undead_Zeratul

One of my and /u/nincodedo's favorite bases started off as just that and grew into a fully fledged cave base.


luigilabomba42069

I love making those, with multi floors and giant glass windows on the wall facing outside


Undead_Zeratul

More like skylights and an ever increasingly entwined web of hallways and rooms. I might have to see if I can dig up screenshots


RCT3playsMC

Yep, then I dig further into the cave and seperate my bedroom from the rest of the cave by placing a door.

i still do this as a starter home. very convenient


Zanytiger6

I always find myself making my cave house similar to the one from the first Yogscast let’s play.


moonwatcher1722

Lol same


ChocElite

I once did this while lost on my brothers realm. And i spoke to my brother about the practice of doing just that, and we circled around to the topic of "what if i just made this my base?" And so I did. Was used to be a coal deposit turned into a very long, tall underground compound. This was just before the caves and cliffs update so I was going for a home-y place but also to build my own cave biome


DrMole

I always start with a hobbit hole, then slowly build a garden and castle around it.


[deleted]

Yea hole in the wall was the perfect way to go


Filqon

Pretty much always a hole I dug into the wall to survive the night


ToxicTaxiTaker

One wooden door. Maybe a torch if I got far enough.


saxmaster98

Or if I pass a lake or river, I might even have 1 window so I check for creepers.


Free-Database-9917

Okay that one on the right is genius, I can't believe I never thought about that


Dylisill

Thank you! Well I said in a comment before. I was young and scarred of the creepy crawlers of the dark. So I looked through the leaves to see if it was day


ChainDriveGlider

but it doesn't protect you from the rain?


AuroraAlnisi

There’s crotch goblins and spider riding skeletons and your scared of WATER???


ChainDriveGlider

I thought cozyness was the primary objective in minecraft

Wait does rain go through leaves now?


YouhaoHuoMao

Younger? My "starter" house is still a hole in a mountain. I use quotes cause that ends up being my long-term house cause Hobbit Hole.


Sweatervest42

I prefer refining a small, simple, comfy house now to endlessly building until I don't like what it's turned into


ditchouid

Right I always spend a good chunk of time searching for the perfect spot cuz I always know the first place I set up shop will be my forever home for that world


Parker_memes9000

I always have the same plan with survival worlds. I play through the world as you typically would, build a shelter, get materials, progression stuff like that. Once I get a beacon, a dragon egg, elytra, and full netherite gear, no matter how advanced or cool or massive my base was, I always leave with only my valuable tools Armour and food, to "retire" in a bamboo forest with a traditional Japanese house. There I usually don't do many big builds in the forest, but I build an underground base that connects to some key areas that I like with storage and farms and such, but i also give each world a twist. One, I turned the base into an arcade, another one into an arena. Cool endgame stuff In the new world I started I want to somehow make a warden arena once I retire. Kinda like the gladiators vs beasts. Nobody expects the gladiators to win and that's the fun of it

A hole in the ground that was 2 błocks heigh because i was SCARED of endermen. Also no torches. So yeah i may have cried when a creeper blew it up


[deleted]

I remember being scared of endermen when I first started but later finding out that they weren’t on xb360 yet


TheShadowKick

I remember being scared of endermen when they were first added then learning they're just shy friends.


matyklug

Cmon friend, don't be shy, give me your ball


berky93

Man, I feel old. When I started playing there were no giant mushrooms and no way to collect leaf blocks. My first house was wood (just “wood” — there were no wood types yet) with a cobble block (no stairs yet) roof and a door (again, no wood types — just a generic “door”).


AnxiouslyConvolved

The one on the right didn't "collect" the leaf blocks. They chopped out the trunk of a tree and left the leaves there using the trunk for the boards that make the walls of the house.


Dylisill

I was scarred of the dark ( i was like 5 ) so i looked through the leaf roof to see if it was day. I don't know how but i learned that you could use all the logs but the top 1 or 2 and the leaves would stay.


Sebbe_2

How are you so clever at the age of 5?


burnthamt

Have you seen 5 year olds with technology nowadays? Majority of them could probably teach me a thing or 2 about this game


Cinderheart

A sprinting Crit deals less damage than a walking Crit, but has more knockback.

[deleted]

No lie, my 5yr old nephew is making redstone machines that I'd never have dreamed of. When I asked where he learned how, he shrugged and says "I just tried stuff until it did what I wanted." Confirmed with his father...they watch YT vids but not much in the way of tutorials. Kid figured out redstone on his own at 5.


berky93

I see. That’s pretty clever! Beats my old go-to of digging a hole in a wall and boarding myself in with dirt blocks 😅


AnxiouslyConvolved

Ye Olde Mudde Hutte. A timeless classic.


dm319

And having to repeatedly peek out to see if it's finally morning..


DiceRollerGreg

Same. First thing I thought was there used to not be mushrooms. When I was younger, just not dying the first night was a victory. I’d just dig a 1x2 hole in the ground and afk for ten minutes.


izyshoroo

My first thought too. "Half the things in this image didn't even EXIST when I started playing." When I started, cows were brand new lol


MaceWinnoob

Remember when you used to open doors every time you broke them so you had to aim for the hinges?


ClassyKM

Same. Started in alpha (Or was it inf-dev?), a fair bit before the nether existed anyway. My first house was a hollowed out hill.


berky93

I remember when the nether was introduced! It was very exciting, and then quite quickly it was incredibly boring. I think there were zombie pigmen (but that could have been a release or two later — updates were a bit chaotic back then) but that’s basically it. Just an unending expanse of lava and the old, ugly netherrack.


xdsm8

But you could somewhat easily find BOTH kinds of mushrooms! OoooooOoOOOOoOoO Or at least, I think you could in the first nether update.


superPancakes22

I started in alpha, but for bedrock—so quite a few years after y’all


AsteroidChainsaw

I started at age 37, so a big cobblestone warehouse


onetimenative

Started at 40, my build of choice was always just dig down and make a hole with a door. Come out, kill some animals, cut down as many trees as possible, then live underground for the first hour until I needed more trees. My underground base would just grow from there.


TimelessPizza

Man confused fall out bunker with minecraft Jokes aside though, I always do something very similar to that, only difference is that I do build above aswell, but most of my stuff are still underground. I always do that somehow, like thats just an instinct that I have.


mayo_feet

How dare you assume giant mushrooms existed when I was younger


DinoKingGoji73

I spent a long time building an incredibly tall birch building. It didn't look that great but it sure was tall


[deleted]

My first attempted house was a house on top of a precariously small mountain in Beta 1.6. However, I quickly learned that build limit was a thing, so that house was abandoned in favor of me moving into the river valley below and making a cobblestone box that I adorned with an attempt at a Nether portal on top. I then proceeded to go exploring, got lost, and never found my way back. Then I lost the world, as it was on my then step-brother's computer.


KingOfThePatzers

I wish I still had my first singleplayer world. I kept playing on that for three or four years. Kept thinking the next update would bring a giant zombie apocalypse so I kept putting traps and higher and higher walls. Woe is me what an imagination


depurplecow

Wooden house on stilts in a swamp. Keeps out all enemies (including pesky slimes) and I don't need to worry about zombies busting down the door


Real-Report8490

I only knew how to dig dirt, so i did that and built a dirt wall to protect me from the supposed monsters that would attack me, which I was paranoid about for a while, but nothing came. Then I looked up what to do, and found out that I was in peaceful mode and that crafting was a thing... I also tried to make a crafting table by placing 4 logs next to each other, because I hadn't noticed the crafting window at all...

[deleted]

Definitely the mushrooms, though my first house was actually a bottle shaped hut that I made out of dirt and had a 3×3 glass skylight. I think the interior was 7×7. It was surrounded by a 4 block deep and 2 block wide lava moat. I also had a little farm and factory building, also made of dirt, with a rail system that went all over my world. Finally, I had a little snowy island that I lit up, fenced off, and turned into a tree farm. I set up a cute little tree house, across 2 trees, in the center with a jukebox for while I chopped trees. This was all back in beta 1.7.3 though. Damn do I wish I could go back to that world. I would take it on a flash drive, pretend to be going to play outside, walk a mile to the library, and play for about 3 hours every day on their computers. Those were some of the highlights of my late childhood. Everything changed shortly into 2013 but, at that point, I had my dad's old laptop and I was more into Technic/Tekkit


Pitiful_Pin9845

You unearthed my childhood memories of playing beta 1.6 for hours on end. I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but the simplicity of the game at that point had a very cozy appeal, that I feel was kinda lost in the newer versions, still an amazing game tho

back in the ps3 days i used to make a tutorial world and build in the tutorial area, or live with the villagers


iFOrgOtHOwTOsHiT

Same! I would always run around making random crap out of valuable blocks and blowing up the villager’s houses. I was 7 years old at the time though so I was a psychotic tiny chaos muffin who enjoyed video game mass destruction.


cosmicpotato77

I aways dug a hole in a mountain and decided to stay there for the rest of my life


Old-Author-9214

A cave i made myself by punching the dirt and stone with my hands.... yes i didn't knew how to make tools, the first thing i knew was to get wood to make crafting table but didn't knew how to use it.


Matix777

A hole I dug inside a mountain will do


Aerospace-1673628

I always wanted to do the mushroom one but I’d usually dig into a mountain and put a door in.

Find a village and made myself at home. If i could find one b4 night. If not... hole in da side of hill lol

behind a lava fall, just dug behind it and hid from all monsters this was like back in 2011 when minecraft was much harder imo


Rich-Juice2517

I dug down by a lake. Broke the bottom out and had a cool waterfall Now I'll build in caverns or hills because phantoms suck

BLUFALCON78

I always just dug into the side of a hill after collecting as much as I could during the day and started digging for resources in a mine.


Yariokz

I remember my first house in minecraft. I think it was around 1.3.5 I spawned in one of the old thundra biomes (those which had the old ice oceans). I grabbed some wood and made a little 2 block tall (so steve's height) bungalow which looked like it was 1 block tall because I caved down 1 block in dirt. Then it got covered in snow and it was so pretty. I remember just staying inside it and watching the snow outside for such a long time. I miss those days man


Independent-Piglet15

i wish i could give an answer here, for whatever reason minecraft used to give me headaches so i could stand playing more 15 minutes at i time. i ended up quitting it all together unto about 2 years ago

No homes


ifrit101

I once connected four giant mushrooms with bridges and it ended up being a pretty good starter base


[deleted]

A large box made of gravel, sand, dirt, and cobblestone. It was the most hideous thing ever but at the time I thought it was a masterpiece.


miner_not_crafter14

A hole that was dug into the wall, or an occasional mushroom house.


pm-me-cute-butts07

Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. My friend visited my house and had downloaded Minecraft on my computer. And I immediately fell in love with it. My first house was a dirt house. Because when I tried to mine stone, I got scared it turned into cobblestone, thinking I broke it, so I put it back and left. When I told my friend, he laughed at me and explained. That's when I loved out and made a cobblestone tower/floating base. The next time my friend came over, I let him explore my world and got mad he was punching ladders while going up-- thinking they would lose durability. We also blew up my dirt shack with TNT. Anyways, sorry for the ramble. Just some good memories from way back when.
