I can’t play Minecraft as much as I want to. Here’s my base in my 2.5 years old survival world.

You probably won't believe my real-world job. But it does not allow me to play the game as much as I want to. There are times it would take 3 or 4 months before I can come back to my world. But when I do, I think of builds to add beauty and function to this world. The aerial view only tells half the story. The underground area is as busy as the surface with live moving minecarts (on loop but with randomizer) deep in the mines to simulate life. I take inspirations from Pinterest, much of the builds here are from Shera Nom. The main base is also a pinterest post, but I have no idea who owns the original build, not even the dimensions, interiors or exact materials. I don't use world editing tools or schematics; I prefer trial and error. I am alright with tearing builds down when I need to change it. This area has become OP in a survival sense, with materials enough for me to survive the next two years of gameplay, and I may need to start building somewhere else to feel the need to gather resources. Wherever, whenever that will be, this base island will forever be my home.
