5 best Minecraft base designs for new players

Starting Minecraft as a new player can be both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Players are dropped into a brand new world with minimal training and basic tips guiding them across their journey. However, this leaves players to discover the game’s different mechanics and activities by themselves.

Building is one of the most important pastimes in Minecraft, in addition to exploration and combat. Building a base is one of the first things new plates should do, as it provides a safe haven and a place to store all their loot. This article will highlight some of the best beginner designs in Minecraft.
