The thing with mega bases is that after building a large chunk of the build you realise that the parts you built at the start start to look bad compared to the new stuff you built and you have even more to do by renovating the old parts to look as good as the new ones
Another tip: expect mistakes, for things to go wrong, and for some parts to just not work out how your imagined. If you expect for everything to go perfectly, there will be lots of disappointment when building.
I have a 3-4 year old mega base, consisting on various medium sized builds and areas (city, farm, swamp, villages, mines etc) and I realized one year after starting my base that my true passion is just building. So I switched to creative mode, and it was a game changer. I'm never tired of my world, and although sometimes I do take 3 months breaks from the game, I'm always excited to play. Sorry about my English
thank you for sharing your story!! i'm very glad to hear that you found a new source of passion and motivation for your world :) and your English is great!
Making smaller builds due to burn out is such a real tip. I built stark tower in survival and it took me HOURS especially due to tutorial being hard to follow because it was in creative and being constantly time lapsed. The amount of concrete powder to turn into concrete was absurd even with a farm. The the building process was crazy. I’ve only played Minecraft for about 3 months now and that was honestly extremely for a beginner like myself
for sure!! survival minecraft is *incredibly* tedious and grind-y, not enough people are aware of how much time, energy, and persistence it takes to build a megabase
I built a custom village in my world and I can say if I were to add some advice, is when you are planning, make sure you are confident in your build palette, and the materials that make up said build pallet are hard to get. for me, it was in a desert world so my pallet was red sandstone and sandstone along with terra-cotta. Secondly, roads are everything. in a town especially, if the path doesn’t look good you won’t want to walk the city. And third, making it exactly what you want to be is important. If you don’t make your dreams of a build or multiple builds then you won’t get attached as it's not what you wanted. this video is amazing, keep up the good work.
I feel that. Ive built a big village and that damn wall around it took so much stuff already and isnt even finished. Gathering ressources costs a lot more time that actually building.
@@MrIamadon The Wall is made of that dark Stone, dont know the Name. Acts like cobblestone just a little sturdier. I gather it a lot while Farming for diamonds. I dont exactly plan on building something down there.
Thank you for the video! I started working on my first ever mega base yesterday and i'm almost done with my creative world copy. It's a gargantuan ruined tower jutting out of the ocean with underwater railway tunnels at the bottom floor. I have designed it so that I will be able to fit many different farms and redstone contraptions in it. Hopefully these tips will come in handy when I make the final design in my survival world. One good tip would probably have been to first make your base in creative to see if it has any flaws and is practical.
that sounds really dope!! ty for sharing :) and yes, that's definitely a really great idea - not sure why i didn't include it 😅 i do that all the time with my own survival builds

hey all, i've just created a Discord server for my community! 🎉🐧 super excited to chat with yall, and i've got some plans for build challenges & other server events coming soon! come stop by & hang out! 🧡 discord.gg/3qmXBBQPH2
Loved this video, It was really good at breaking things down to a manageable level. Abstraction is key in big projects and I think you summarized it perfectly!
Started an SMP with my friend abt a month and half ago. Our starter base was a hole in the side of a mountain, which we are planning to expand into our megabase, because we can just keep expanding on it. There is a seperate mountain near by and we also plan to build a massive bridge which connects the two, both of which having our base inside. Also means we can work step by step and not overload ourselves with too much.
The only real mega base I ever built was back in 1.12 and is was a gigantic sideways square hole in the ocean with smaller squares around it looked really cool for the most parts But yeah ur right the burn out screwed that thing from ever getting finished
it's really difficult 🥲 one one hand, large monotonous projects like the one you described, are very easy to get bored of, but more complex and challenging projects can be very intimidating
I just seen this man’s RUclips channel for the first time and I’ve been looking for ideas on how to make mega bases easier or look nicer I’ve built one and just started another. All these tips will be very useful. I really needed this video. You just got yourself a permanent Subscriber. Keep Up The Great Work!!!👍
Something that I do when I play Minecraft, (whether I'm resource gathering or just building) is put on a show/podcast to watch/listen to. When I tell you it helps so much when you're doing anything that you hate, like outlining for a build or figuring out designs in creative, I mean it. A podcast I enjoy listening to is 'Distractible' with Markiplier, Bob, and Wade. I promise it makes tasks, whether it be large or small, so much easier .
I feel like there should be a tip #8 which is just talk with a friend. They don’t have to help you or even play with you, but trust me, talking to another person instead of sitting with yourself in silence helps you stay committed. Overall as a person who has built countless mega bases and has over 25,000 hrs in game, this is a great tip for beginners. Keep up the good work
this is a great piece of advice! it's so much easier to focus on the mindless grind aspects of the game when you've got some other distraction, like a show, movie, or better yet like you said - someone to talk to :)
aww, thank you, i really appreciate that 😊 that was a really sweet comment! this video is definitely my most successful out of any i've ever made, and i'm glad that it's been able to reach people in this way :)
right now i am working on a huge video game area, (like a ton of builds based on other video games, specifically nintendo right now), and a huge huge thing that helps me is finding screenshots of the game areas i wish to recreate and putting them in a pinterest board, or even just a discord channel. it personally helps me with scale as well, because i can see the sizes of things compared to eachother in screenshots. another thing i find that helps is getting a world map mod, and then screenshotting the area i’m working with and scribbling stuff over it in an art program like mspaint. i know some people play strictly vanilla but xaeros world map mod helps a ton with me visualizing things :) thanks for this video!! your channel is super underrated and this helped gather some motivation to finally get grinding. edit because i forgot to put this in the original comment: another thing that sometimes helps visualize or plan is building on a creative superflat world, and then using litematica to essentially give a blueprint of what i want to build. this can really help because it will give you an exact material list as well of what you are building. also for those who dislike doing redstone but need farms, some tutorials post their farm worlds online, and you can download the world and make a blueprint of the farm so it is way easier to make!!
that is a very interesting way of planning builds!! thank you for sharing :) it's always neat to see the steps other builders take in their process. personally, i do use litematica to help visualize my builds that i've already planned out in a creative test world, and i occasionally use the material list function as well.
I just finished the OUTSIDE of my giant tree that almost touchest the clouds and it took 9 MONTHS to build. Yea i may i have taken like a 4 month break from burnout but it does look cool for my villager trading hall eventually. Its a pine tree if u wanna know. I definitely agree that smaller houses put together is better. I do plan to build a spruce themed villager but i still need to update my older buildings 😅
what im thinking about doing is a big base with smaller buildings around it, adding story to it bc i like adding story/lore to builds idk why, but im still questioning what to build, and what style
hey there's nothing wrong with that! i think adding a bit of story or 'worldbuilding' behind a large build is really great :) definitely a really fantastic way to inject some more of your passion and enthusiasm into the project!
Great vid! Just a quick tip for your audio: you might want to consider either throwing a de-esser into your chain or bringing down the higher frequency band of where your S's seem to peak. Currently it's distracting and I had a bit of a tough time getting through the awesome content due to it. Just a thought! ✌️
ah yup, i definitely had some issues with the essing in this video - took me a while to get an audio setup i liked, it's much better in my recent videos now though!
I joined my friends’ world 2 weeks ago and whenever I do something on that world it’s to make progress for my mega base. I got all the materials and I’m about to build it. It is 1 huge construction though, so we’ll see if I get a burn out. Even if I do, I will probably just take a brake and troll my friends or something, so the chance of not finishing my build will be very slim.
A tip I have is breaks, I have been working on a mega base for about 1 1/2 years and it’s only halfway done but I also take time away from building the base and move to other projects and come back to work until I get bored
ikr! i'm really glad i found that island, it's a fantastic build location. never would've found it without an online seed finder, i think it was over 25k blocks from spawn? 😩
my longest burnout for one of my megabases was half a year before i got back to work and by the way make sure u Gather up on all the materials for you´re mega base before hand in order to save more time instead of having to go back and forth from mining and Woodcutting in order to get enough stuff when u could be building
thank you!! :) and to answer your question, i think it depends on the build - if we're talking about an organized, planned out, large city build, then having a set of orderly grid roads is very important. in that case, i think it's very helpful to be able to create city blocks of uniform sizes, before you start laying down your buildings. however, if your build is more organic and freeform, such as a rural countryside, then try laying down the buildings first. in situations like this, pathways would naturally form as people walk around the area, finding the most efficient ways to get between different spots. maybe you had a small frontier town that started as just a railroad stop by a mine, and gradually expanded to include more homes and businesses. this type of town would have the railroad track as a central location, and roads would be formed by people walking from their homes to the mine, and to stores, etc. hopefully this helps!
How about a tower like structure that in centre water elevators were the outer rings are soul soil and inner magma blocks with just one hole for the beacon This tower will connect to other towers where each component of a base will be like storage ,food farms etc The connection will be through two different pathways one with ice and another just normal and it will also be linked by nether portal There will also be chunk loaders in every tower And most of the farms will be grouped so that there aren't too many towers in the world There will be a castle in the centre as a place for gathering or just chilling; just a common spot or smth Give opinions on this
Leon i might need help im now building a castle for a base but my idea is a village surrounding the castle and every build is gonna be small but the castle is huge (60x30) is that a good idea since you said not too big
i think this can definitely work! if you're familiar with hermitcraft, this idea reminds me a lot of BDoubleO's base from season 7 - he built an outlying village first, and then later went in and added a huge castle on a hill. so i'd suggest making the village first, if you burn out on the castle (which sounds like it would be a larger project) you'll still have a cool village build!
@@LeonSBU thanks for the tips i would start working on the village but i wont wait for the end to put the castle since its a working one it would have the chest erea and auto smelter so i will need it pretty soon but it could wait since i still have the starter erea
i just stumbled across this video and its definitely gonna help me because im building massive archways in the water and building a sort of temple/dojo
Building a village is exhausting enough, i can't imagine myself being that crazy and make mega base😵 I chose to be a builder because I never get bored, however, we as Artist, we are prone to burn outs. I learned from my first attempt to build a village is to gather, A LOT of materials first and create a good storage area...but my second time creating a village, yeah it turns out good but what bothers me is the unorganized blocks in my inventory and my chests. Worst, if you play bedrock edition, it consumes alot of your time just to craft a bunch of stairs or any blocks.
mega bases are nuts! i sometimes feel like the pressure on creators to build massive bases encourages an unhealthy perspective of one's own minecraft builds, that if we aren't building on that same scale our builds aren't "good enough" - as much as i think huge builds are cool, i also don't want to encourage that mentality
100% agree! i tend to use named blocks in item frames, but honestly, any kind of labeling system works great! i find it very interesting how other players organize their blocks...it feels like a weird bit of insight into how peoples' brains work...
@@LeonSBU I used chests the face out with one side labeled in categories in my storage room 2. That’s the smaller stuff I don’t need tons of. Excess usually gets made into bone meal. Storage room 1 is the terraforming broom with cobblestone, dirt, sand, all that bulk material. And almost everything. Has its own chest. Or row of chests.
I'm currently mining down to bedrock a map sized area, in the centre of the world, below will be storage and in the centre a beacon with a monument of diamonds and ancient debris. Also mining a few bastions for the black stone, burnout certainly a problem but I'd say some music, a podcast or a video on another monitor if you have more than 1
dear creator i know your not gonna read this but its fine i am making a project called mission mega base basically i go into creative and make buildings that are big and have depth so far i have made couple things until i realized that my old minecraft world spruce Island and my home base was a mega base but it was made by tutorials but mission mega base only takes inspiration i wanted to say thank you
So I'm playing a create mod server with my friends and the second option is actually something that we found it at a massive. I think it's around a thousand blocks cave and it's all a lush cave and we're building a giant like woodland houses base, hanging from the ceiling, the walls and everything over as our megabase
Hey, thank you for the video. My friends and I are planning on a world with huge bases (megabases...) and this video helped me a lot figering out how to do this kind of builds properly. But I still have a question: what Texture/Resource Pack do you use to get this type of grass block ( 4:20 for example)? I couldn't find the right one, so please help me out, keep up the good work! :)
thank you!! glad it was helpful :) as for the grass texture, i use a variety of texture changes from VanillaTweaks, which allows you to pick and choose from a collection of small, vanilla-esque resource packs: vanillatweaks.net/picker/resource-packs/
I’m doing a flat survival world right now and it has my first mega build and probably my only one due to the massive pain it has been. They do look cool though. Mines not even that complicated just big.
Technically, if you build a base, that fills at least 1,000,000 blocks, it can be called a megabase, because mega is another word for 1,000,000, and base (in this context) means "main place", "foundation", or something similar to that. So technically you could make a big 100 x 100 x 100 cobblestone box, put a bed in there and call it a megabase. Personally i wouldn't do it myself, but again... technically.
I'm planning to build a giant tree and on top, there's gonna be sky islands connected to the leaves and branches by chains. I'm probably gonna put every single biome on the islands.
I made a mega base once it was a lab that i built in a lush cave which was pretty neat because it made it look like the lush cave was being studied it was so cool even had a horizontal slime elevator in said base that goes over a pit filled with lava too bad i accidentally went into creative and i had to throw out the whole world
I started yesterday a new survival, and i'm gonna build a 80x80 pyramid with hobbit houses inside and a Giant tree with a lake around it. See you in 5 months.
@@LeonSBU Yeahh, i had another 50x50 with a few temples on another saved game, but i broke my phone and had to buy a new One, so i have to start everything from the beginning. Not easy. 🤦
hmmm good question! there's a few things you can do - for starters, i think finding a massive cave can be a huge blessing! that's a ton of blocks that you don't need to manually dig out, and now you have a sort of "template" for how your base can look. of course, you'll need to light up the area, and full explore it, but that's a *lot* more fun than digging for hours. also, don't be afraid to create new sections, or wall up parts of it, if it's too big! just because the cave is huge, doesn't mean you need to use all of it 👍 one thing i like to do when i'm making a custom cave is to add natural formations such as rocky pillars, waterfalls, underground lakes, etc. to make the place feel more vibrant, and mix up the color palette.
My “mega base” is “mega” or otherwise just big builds all connected together. The central area being the hub where me and my friends go for our basic needs (storage, forge, crafting) and sleeping.
I myself like to make all my builds inside a creative world where i use worldedit and after i have made the build ready then i will just use litematica to make a schematic of it and put the schematic into my survival world and build it all from there
The thing with mega bases is that after building a large chunk of the build you realise that the parts you built at the start start to look bad compared to the new stuff you built and you have even more to do by renovating the old parts to look as good as the new ones
Right
Not alllllll the time
Thats why my builds are spreeded all over the word, with sometimes few thoused block apart
I think this is the best advice ruclips.net/video/MUhWw79Gc_s/видео.html
True, also nice profile pic
Another tip: expect mistakes, for things to go wrong, and for some parts to just not work out how your imagined. If you expect for everything to go perfectly, there will be lots of disappointment when building.

thank you!! :) and to answer your question, i think it depends on the build - if we're talking about an organized, planned out, large city build, then having a set of orderly grid roads is very important. in that case, i think it's very helpful to be able to create city blocks of uniform sizes, before you start laying down your buildings.
however, if your build is more organic and freeform, such as a rural countryside, then try laying down the buildings first. in situations like this, pathways would naturally form as people walk around the area, finding the most efficient ways to get between different spots. maybe you had a small frontier town that started as just a railroad stop by a mine, and gradually expanded to include more homes and businesses. this type of town would have the railroad track as a central location, and roads would be formed by people walking from their homes to the mine, and to stores, etc.
hopefully this helps!
Earned a sub from me for this. Good stuff man, looking forward to future vids
thank you :)) more videos coming soon! taking a lil break this week to spend time w the family but i will be back on videos shortly
love the honesty in the intro lol
How about a tower like structure that in centre water elevators were the outer rings are soul soil and inner magma blocks with just one hole for the beacon
This tower will connect to other towers where each component of a base will be like storage ,food farms etc
The connection will be through two different pathways one with ice and another just normal and it will also be linked by nether portal
There will also be chunk loaders in every tower
And most of the farms will be grouped so that there aren't too many towers in the world
There will be a castle in the centre as a place for gathering or just chilling; just a common spot or smth
Give opinions on this
Leon i might need help im now building a castle for a base but my idea is a village surrounding the castle and every build is gonna be small but the castle is huge (60x30) is that a good idea since you said not too big
i think this can definitely work! if you're familiar with hermitcraft, this idea reminds me a lot of BDoubleO's base from season 7 - he built an outlying village first, and then later went in and added a huge castle on a hill. so i'd suggest making the village first, if you burn out on the castle (which sounds like it would be a larger project) you'll still have a cool village build!
@@LeonSBU thanks for the tips i would start working on the village but i wont wait for the end to put the castle since its a working one it would have the chest erea and auto smelter so i will need it pretty soon but it could wait since i still have the starter erea
ah yeah, if you're putting infrastructure items in the castle like farms and storage, it's definitely worth building up some of it first :)
This convinced me to try a mega build despite my… lack of talent let’s say
nice! i hope all goes well :)
this helped a ton thanks
glad to hear! :)
the editing is so awesome. Thank you for the tips
glad you like the editing! :)
My strategy so far was to pick biggest mountain I can find and build everything inside. I might have a soul of a dwarf.
‘Doesn’t have a backside’
Grian:
i just stumbled across this video and its definitely gonna help me because im building massive archways in the water and building a sort of temple/dojo
glad to hear :) good luck with your project! archways in the water sound very dope
Building a village is exhausting enough, i can't imagine myself being that crazy and make mega base😵
I chose to be a builder because I never get bored, however, we as Artist, we are prone to burn outs.
I learned from my first attempt to build a village is to gather, A LOT of materials first and create a good storage area...but my second time creating a village, yeah it turns out good but what bothers me is the unorganized blocks in my inventory and my chests. Worst, if you play bedrock edition, it consumes alot of your time just to craft a bunch of stairs or any blocks.
mega bases are nuts! i sometimes feel like the pressure on creators to build massive bases encourages an unhealthy perspective of one's own minecraft builds, that if we aren't building on that same scale our builds aren't "good enough" - as much as i think huge builds are cool, i also don't want to encourage that mentality
General storage tip; if label, label, label everything. If it’s bulk material it will have chest upon chest full to do anything meaningful.
100% agree! i tend to use named blocks in item frames, but honestly, any kind of labeling system works great! i find it very interesting how other players organize their blocks...it feels like a weird bit of insight into how peoples' brains work...
@@LeonSBU I used chests the face out with one side labeled in categories in my storage room 2. That’s the smaller stuff I don’t need tons of. Excess usually gets made into bone meal. Storage room 1 is the terraforming broom with cobblestone, dirt, sand, all that bulk material. And almost everything. Has its own chest. Or row of chests.
I'm currently mining down to bedrock a map sized area, in the centre of the world, below will be storage and in the centre a beacon with a monument of diamonds and ancient debris. Also mining a few bastions for the black stone, burnout certainly a problem but I'd say some music, a podcast or a video on another monitor if you have more than 1
Ima be honest i was completely listening to the explanation of the mega prefix with 100% focus 💀

dear creator i know your not gonna read this but its fine i am making a project called mission mega base basically i go into creative and make buildings that are big and have depth so far i have made couple things until i realized that my old minecraft world spruce Island and my home base was a mega base but it was made by tutorials but mission mega base only takes inspiration i wanted to say thank you
hey! i did in fact read this :) and you're very welcome! i'm glad you found this video useful
So I'm playing a create mod server with my friends and the second option is actually something that we found it at a massive. I think it's around a thousand blocks cave and it's all a lush cave and we're building a giant like woodland houses base, hanging from the ceiling, the walls and everything over as our megabase
that sounds super cool!! hope the project turns out well :)
Hey, thank you for the video. My friends and I are planning on a world with huge bases (megabases...) and this video helped me a lot figering out how to do this kind of builds properly.
But I still have a question: what Texture/Resource Pack do you use to get this type of grass block ( 4:20 for example)? I couldn't find the right one, so please help me out, keep up the good work! :)
thank you!! glad it was helpful :)
as for the grass texture, i use a variety of texture changes from VanillaTweaks, which allows you to pick and choose from a collection of small, vanilla-esque resource packs: vanillatweaks.net/picker/resource-packs/
This is soooooooooooooo underrated!
I have been waiting for a video like this for some time now!
This guy deserves millions more subs, good content, keep it up.
thank you! new 7 Quick Tips video coming out in a few days :))
"doesn't have a back side"
that was straight up a roast to grian
Yeah me and my friend are working on a mega base. If you want to see some of it, one of my videos have it. (Why I haven’t been uploading video)
Is it possible for you to make piltover and zaun megabase, based on league of legends arcane? That'd be cool, I think
When the whole screen rotated in the intro. I felt like a turtle. Never seen minecraft sideways like that.. gave me a huge headache.
I’m doing a flat survival world right now and it has my first mega build and probably my only one due to the massive pain it has been. They do look cool though. Mines not even that complicated just big.
the doesn't have a backside one was clearly directed towards grian 😂
these tips really helped. i actually managed to complete my megabase only to get blown up by a creeper
thats the worst 😭😭 congrats on finishing the base though! and i'm glad you found the tips helpful :)
@@LeonSBU it was a hardcore world as well so rip
Technically, if you build a base, that fills at least 1,000,000 blocks, it can be called a megabase, because mega is another word for 1,000,000, and base (in this context) means "main place", "foundation", or something similar to that.
So technically you could make a big 100 x 100 x 100 cobblestone box, put a bed in there and call it a megabase. Personally i wouldn't do it myself, but again...
technically.
i appreciate the math :)
I'm planning to build a giant tree and on top, there's gonna be sky islands connected to the leaves and branches by chains. I'm probably gonna put every single biome on the islands.
that sounds dope! i hope it goes well :) giant trees are super tough, i definitely recommend planning as much as you can ahead of time
with such quality to the edits on your video I wouldn't be surprised if you rose to the top Minecraft youtubers within a couple months / a year
thank you!! we'll see where we end up in a year 8)
megabase advice from someone who admits to never having built a megabase, great!
i wish i had even a sliver in creativity in me to make a proper base without a tutorial
I m from germany. I unverstand it perfect thank you , useful Tips
thank you!
I made a mega base once it was a lab that i built in a lush cave which was pretty neat because it made it look like the lush cave was being studied it was so cool even had a horizontal slime elevator in said base that goes over a pit filled with lava too bad i accidentally went into creative and i had to throw out the whole world
Great Video! Simply helped me right now to calm down a bit and sort things out 👍
very happy to hear!! thank you :)
There’s no way this dude only has 5k subs this is the quality of at least 500k!!
aaaa thank you ((: perhaps we will reach 500k one day!
3:09 this looked so much like the seed im playing in i had to compare the world to confirm they were diffrent
"Doesn't have a backside"
we all thought of it. I won't even mention it.
I started yesterday a new survival, and i'm gonna build a 80x80 pyramid with hobbit houses inside and a Giant tree with a lake around it. See you in 5 months.
oooooooo, sounds like a big task, good luck!!
@@LeonSBU Yeahh, i had another 50x50 with a few temples on another saved game, but i broke my phone and had to buy a new One, so i have to start everything from the beginning. Not easy. 🤦
hey man great video but i have a question, what should i do if i’m trying to build an underground build but i come across a massive cave?
hmmm good question! there's a few things you can do -
for starters, i think finding a massive cave can be a huge blessing! that's a ton of blocks that you don't need to manually dig out, and now you have a sort of "template" for how your base can look. of course, you'll need to light up the area, and full explore it, but that's a *lot* more fun than digging for hours.
also, don't be afraid to create new sections, or wall up parts of it, if it's too big! just because the cave is huge, doesn't mean you need to use all of it 👍
one thing i like to do when i'm making a custom cave is to add natural formations such as rocky pillars, waterfalls, underground lakes, etc. to make the place feel more vibrant, and mix up the color palette.
"Doesnt have a backside"
*Grian Intensifies*
i love the effort put into this video, it was very helpful and entertaining :)
thank you! i appreciate it :)
whats that seed on the first tip?
I'm making a house that's kinda nice and big, but making ground underneath the warehouse of warehouses.
My “mega base” is “mega” or otherwise just big builds all connected together. The central area being the hub where me and my friends go for our basic needs (storage, forge, crafting) and sleeping.
this sounds really neat! i'm glad you were able to find success with the "many smaller builds is better than one large build" philosophy :)
Thank you!
you're welcome! :)
Can't wait to try these! Thank you
nice!! hope it works for you :)
I've started my project, it's coming along great!
this channel is so underrated, but has the quality of the top notch channels with millions of subscribers. you deserve more subs :D
thank you!! video quality is definitely something i've been working on a lot over the ~15 months i've been making videos, i'm glad it shows :)
I’m a survival builder so even if I build more storage, I’ll need it 😂😂😂 I go through blocks like no other
I know these are difficult, buuuut in my survival world I think I want to suffer so time to make the worlds most glass-filled end base!
I myself like to make all my builds inside a creative world where i use worldedit and after i have made the build ready then i will just use litematica to make a schematic of it and put the schematic into my survival world and build it all from there
i do the same thing - it's a nice workflow, even if it takes a while :)
You'll be big soon your videos are so good
i'm hoping for the same thing (: thank you!
this video helped me create better bases the tips were realy good
thank you! (:
thank you soo much very direct link n works for me love the way you expressed the installation .
