Mumbo please, I have a request for you I have always wanted to see built, a very special and specific door. I would like to see an underwater airlock door. 1. a 2x2 piston door that opens when you swim up to it. 2. The interior space is already filled with water. 3. the water drains away (using dispensers to pick up the water). 4. Then (and only then) once the water is clear and the room dry the second set of doors open into a dry room. 5. The door should work in the reverse order too opening, closing, filling with water, then opening from the outside (underwater half). If anyone else would love to see this built please help him see.

[@legendaryhuntertutorialsti6713]

A few tips for everyone who wants to build bases inside a cave, this is all from experience: -Carve them out so they wont have absurd spurt outs -Make sure it fits with what you want, if you want overgrown, you should probably do a little more carving out -Dont hold yourself in one place, if you got lucky like I did with 4 massive cave systems, branch out slowly -If you go with modded like I did, make certain cave branches or tunnels designated for that mod and add signs or an item frame with a block from that mod. It makes it a lot easier, trust me, you will get confused if you dont organize it by mod -If you do Hardcore, get charcoal torches and light it up while you mine for coal, iron, and Diamond. Creepers even with full iron can still insta-kill you if you're not careful

Build with purpose 5. Not everything has to be symmetrical 6. Make storage system nice and easy to access(you’re going to be there a lot) 7. ALWAYS Test in creative before you build in survival 8. Look through KZbin or other platforms for inspiration 9. Manage your resources( don’t build with stuff like netherite blocks too often) 10. Don’t build completely with brick(you’ll regret it) 11. Manage your time(don’t be unhealthy) 12. Know what you wanna build and if you’ll enjoy it.(adapt to your play styles) 13. Choose a block palette 14. Choose a good biome you like 15. Gather before building(it’s a demotivation if you don’t) 16. Build a “skeleton first”(base or structure) 17. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing 18. BRING SCAFFOLDING AND SLIME BLOCKS YOULL THANK ME LATER 19. After you’re done find some things you can redo or finish other projects 20. Not everything has to be in your base.

Funny story for the "scale over detail" thing you mentioned. I was in a build competition hosted by MCProHosting, and the theme was "Winter". I decided that I wanted to make a detailed mountain range with a christmas town at the bottom. Upon completion of the mountians though.... they were exceedingly short. So in about 10 hours time, after already about 15 hours of work, I flipped the script and doubled the size of the mountians, put a massive bridge & train on them, and built the christmas village at the bottom like plan. went back and detailed it later, and after a few weeks, i won the competition. I even did a video on my channel showcasing the absolute scale of the thing in shaders, if you're genuinely intrigued by it (not trying to self promo, I'm really just proud of the work i did). Fifty hours of work, for a free Xbox One S, i"d say it was worth it! I can 1,000,000% agree, scale over detail, in any situation

I built my base in a server as my version/vision of the stark/avengers tower, almost totally eyeballed. And I gotta say, its one of the first bases I've built in this game over a very long time that I'm very proud of. It has several floors where I can fit farms or decorative/trophy stuff, a very large underground area where I can still fit quite a few things, and I already made villager-powered crop farms on some of the floors of my tower that give me tons of food, as well as a supersmelter, XP farm, concrete breaker, and iron farm. Still plenty of space to fit small-ish farms/contraptions as I need. And plenty of space to make a couple annexed builds. I think your and grian's tips really helped out a lot. And its something I'm finally truly proud of. And the best thing now is, due to the massive rooms I dug up for my stuff, I now have plenty of random blocks to fill in the nearby ravines/caves. It was probably easier for me since the server has a shop system, but not everything can be bought from it, and slowly but surely I'm relying less and less on it.

[@jcannont7372]

Mumbo, in Sahara you should build a coffee shop so people could get some coffee while they shop

[@geoman265.]

Maybe recreate the coffee tables from S5 but use them as coffee tables. They would obviously be smaller, though.

I always start my survival playthroughs in creative so I get the base out of the way. I do eventually add onto the base, but I always get a good starter done like a small fort or castle.

[@Sphendrana]

Look at the industrial district today vs back when Mumbo made this. This really gives me the courage to keep grinding away. I just finished sweeping all the water out of a monument. Now I'm preparing to build a guardian farm. Can't wait to tackle this and make it look awesome.

[@MrMega1423]

Well, here's the thing though. If you don't *need* a giant base, why go through all the pain and misery to make one? If your 40x40 fortress is all you need for a base, be happy with it. Mumbo said that scale is better than detail. I disagree. What's the point of building a *GIANT 500x500x100 CITADEL OF EPICNESS* if you can't even fill it, or if you don't have the time or the resources to make it look good enough to satisfy you? The smaller the base, the easier it would be to upgrade it to your liking, and thus the more time you can spend doing so. You don't have to be a god. Just be you. :D

[@candiedginger8729]

Since figuring out how to progress to mid game play in survival I've spent most of my game time in creative mode trying to sort out how to: 1. Build bigger in my style 2. Ensure efficiency of the layout 3. Include all of the things plus their redstone 4. Leave room for expansion 5. Remember to have decorative spaces. So far it's a big puzzle in colorful wool. An aquarium is something I hadn't thought to add. One would look nice near the enchanting area and I can combine that with an afk fishing farm. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@gabey1]

ok i got so much inspiration from your spherical base i’m gonna try to build something like it in survival. (i’m gonna look up tutorials on how to build domes / circles in minecraft too)

Is it even possible? Wait, now that I've asked, someone will do it. Will you send me the world so I can see it? I don't have the guts to build flying machines, I can barely build storage :p

[@aidansalasin-deane7256]

Catherine Reed I find that it helps to understand the principles behind each system. It makes them a lot more approachable. I didn't start doing Redstone until a few weeks ago and I'm really close with the staircase, or at least it seems like it.

[@kaffii]

note: when Mumbo said "test things out", I recommend actually testing things out instead of building the whole thing, I've built my bases in creative mode before and I got burnt out even before I started in survival

[@WhozeWhatzit]

Thank you for making this video. I have been facing some struggles when it comes to life and art and due to self help culture being so toxic and not caring for others well being i actually turn to videos about how to enjoy games and apply that to my life and my projects and this helped me beyond belief. I had been doing art for some time now and for years i had felt pressure to make stuff and be successful due to expectations put on me that i will do great. But as a result I suffered from imposter syndrome and didn't feel like a true artist, causing me to freeze and not be able to create anything without that external pressure. Luckily I overcame that somewhat, but then i was faced with another challenge this video helped me realize. I was making projects but i still wasn't feeling motivated. I knew it wasn't my lack of love for the medium because I would animate other small things and love to do it, but for some reasons these larger projects i assigned to myself to get back into art wasn't fun to do. But then i realized they had no purpose. Similar to your Fish town, my projects were just being made to do something rather than with an intended purpose like most art has. This led to not enjoying the project and having little motivation. Its as if i wanted to get back into Minecraft but only built stuff to build stuff with no purpose for what i was making. No Redstone farms to help others, or piston doors to solve problems, no buildings that make a world feel lived in with small details that tell a story, and no terraforming to make everything nice and smooth. Only fishing villages. You helped me realize that my projects need purpose to matter to me and others. So sincerely thank you for your accidental self help video.
