Minecraft has been around for a very long time and people always have new innovative ideas to build the perfect house in Minecraft. Remember back in the day, when the game is not having that many blocks, or when people are afraid of the dark, they tended to dig underground and build a base there.
Without too much knowledge, underground bases work perfectly for most people, especially for miners! And today, we will go through the list of the best 20+ Minecraft underground house ideas so you can take inspiration and build your own house. All of those houses can be built in survival mode, so let's go!
Ready for a Minecraft build tutorial with pictures? To get prepared, below is the list of materials you will need for this build.
For the exterior:
For the interior:
First, you need to choose a plain terrain so it's easier to build in. You will need an area of at least 17x17 blocks. The center rectangle is 10x10. Then, pick the center of each side and go outside 5 more blocks, and mark the sixth block with any block you like. We mark with coarse dirt for this tutorial.
Dig a 6-block deep hole in the center and leave the corner pillar. You will have a hole like this.
On each side of the hole, pick the center blocks and start digging in a stair shape. Dig in one block and make your way to the top. The final block should match with the other coarse dirt blocks you marked earlier.
Use Stripped Spruce Log to fill up all the walls of the hole. Make sure that you place the log facing top to make it look better and synergize.
Use some Stripped Spruce Logs and Spruce Slabs to follow the layout below. Place the log in the corner and connect it with 2 Spruce Slabs. Then repeat the pattern.
On each entrance above the stairs, use 2 more Stripped Spruce logs and Spruce Slab and build them like this.
Now it's time to connect the outer wall with the main rectangle. On each side, place 2 more Stripped Spruce log on top of the marked block, then connect them with the main wall using Spruce Slab like usual.
Finally, place stone pressure plates on top of each exposed spruce log. You should have something like this.
Starting off the interior with the actual stairs, this is how you enter the base! Remember to repeat on all 4 sides.
Above the ground, put some spruce fence gate to block the hostile mobs from entering your base.
Replace the floor with Oak Planks for extra coziness. You can also use other blocks for the floor depending on your interest.
On each stair entrance, break one block in the middle of the stair and place a glowstone block there. Then cover it with an oak trapdoor.
Coming down to the main building, in the middle column of each wall, break 3 blocks and dig one more block in for the middle block. Then place the glowstone deep inside and cover it with another oak trapdoor. Finally, place 2 spruce stairs like this. Repeat for all 4 sides.
Hanging some leaves with a spruce fence like this. Repeat for all sides as well.
Now the interior is completely up to you. But if you don't know what to do next, just follow us. The first corner will be a bedroom with a lovely flower on top of the barrel. There is also a crafting table right below the bed for easily crafting.
The second corner will be for enchanting and repairing stuff. You need to add 3 cobblestone slabs on the wall and place an anvil there. For some greenery, one more flower pot is needed!
The third corner will be likely the same as the first one. But you may want to adjust it based on your interest.
And finally, the final corner with a brewing stand in case you need some potions.
How does this become a base when you can't smelt the mineral you mine, right? Simply add some furnace in the middle of the room and put some more barrels for storage purposes. On top of that, you may want to easily filter your stuff by placing some item frames for better organization.
In the end, cover your base up with a stack of glass (any type of glass will work, especially stained glass for more color). And you're done with this Minecraft underground house!
And there is the list of some awesome Minecraft underground house ideas! First, try to rebuild them using your favorite blocks, and then slowly add more personality to your builds. You can even change the house's shape later to make it feel more personalized! And happy building underground!
