How do I build a nice base?

[NeddyTheNoodle]

I'm basically by myself. I don't play with other people, but I'm terrible at building. Any advice?

also I don't use mods.

There are a ton of youtube vids that show creative base builds

This guy are only using vanilla mats for building. Very informative too :)

not that creative if you need to follow a video though is it?

Inspiration comes from viewing the work of other and integrating your own ideas.

There is also the new creative mode, saves you a bit of materials to put it mildly

well, from my subjective view, using cheats whilst simultaneously trying to play the game "legit" is completely pointless.

Look up Aaron Longstaff for easy tutorials. He's on YT.

Well nobody talked about cheats.... Practising there to learn mechanics is no more "cheating" then getting help from a video tbh.
But each to their own, that's all that matters.

was just going to say Aaron, that and GGFizz are two of my favorites to get ideas from. Fizz also has a showcase video he does of other people's bases on his server, some amazing ideas!

Monkeypuzzle got some decent builds as well, a bit more spread in his series, but got some great stuff.

While the video's are fun. I'd largely ignore them if you're just starting out as they can be fairly elaborate sometimes and often require specific terrain to build

I'd say Aaron Longstaff is really good for understanding the basic Architechture ... I've be studying his videos a while . He builds his videos in the same way , as follows below.

I'd strongly suggest to watch the the large House video . It's a 5 X10 structure that can be built anywhere. Which a 5 X10 is big to a beginner but you can add to fairly easy as you learn more about design.

1 . Shows you the final product
2. Gives you a list of the materials
3 , Shows the location he did it
4. Builds it step by step in a linear fashion.
5 . Uses no voice overs .
6. Pauses to show how it should look at this point .
7. Finishes the build
8. Give ideas for accents .
9. Asks you to subscribe so you cvan see new designs
10 . Uses no moded pieces to build his structures .

And

11. Picks music the sticks in your head for the rest of the day.

With these studies I learned to build this on my own ...

Good luck to you and keep learning.
