Talk:Tutorials/Underground Home

Information
This tutorial is far from complete. Underground shelters are, in fact, one of the best shelter types there are, especially in SMP. A good underground shelter should be so efficient that you should NEVER have to go to the surface, whether it be gathering mob drops or cutting down trees. Making an underground base is quite easy. Material is gained instead of lost, and you are very unlikely to come across lava when digging your basement level one. You can easily get everything underground as from the surface with farms. It is also the hardest to find of any base, which is great. Having an obsidian castle is great, but you'll have to log off sooner or later, and when you come back on you wont be very pleased at the remnants of your once mighty castle, floating fortress, or other freestanding shelter. Being hidden is the best defense in my experience. I had an underground base on a temporary map once that was almost right next to the spawn, but it took them one day to find it. Griefers will be too busy tearing down castles to spend the time to look for some random underground shelter. Mybabypetghast 03:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
