Q&A for How to Make a Secret Base in Minecraft

You should build the base in an area where people don't mine. They could find it with tools or by going in spectator mode.

You should go in spectator mode and find it. If not, plant a flower or tree nearby so you remember.

Not unless they see you go in, or they might follow you. Don't leave the door open.

Only if the person finds the base or sees you go in that area. Try building an alarm system using command blocks.

Cover up the corners, or even add a trapdoor if you plan on exploring that cave.

If you hit lava while making a base, just quickly patch the hole with any non-combustible material, like dirt or cobblestone.

On some servers, like SKrafty, there's a command to block a certain player from going on your plot or area. Find out if there's one like that. If there is, use it. The intruder should immediately be kicked from your area.

You can only go into spectator mode on PC, so you would have to be playing on PC. Type "/gamemode 3" into the chat bar, and you should be in spectator mode.

Of course. To prevent issues like this, you will need to surround your base with obsidian, or lava. Or basically anything mobs can't get through.

Find redstone in a cave. If you don’t want to venture underground, put grass or a tree in front of your door, or just cover it up with blocks (make sure they aren’t valuable, or someone can mine them).

Light up the area around your base, or if you have a underground base, surround the base with obsidian or lava, etc.

If you find mobs in a cave, add torches and they will not spawn. Then, kill the remaining mobs.

You could use the combination lock trick or the password trick using redstone.

Sure! You can make a portal room anywhere you like. Be sure to secure it though because mobs from the nether can walk through the portal and attack you.

You could make a secret escape way so if there are intruders you can escape. You should, however, make your underground secret base covered and therefore not suspicious.

Yes, but if you light it up using a lot of torches, it is very unlikely. You could also use the redstone lighting system.

Yes, but a layer of signs, then water (try not to waterlog the signs) then another layer of signs (try to not waterlog the signs). Last, put a layer of lava. Try to make it look like a natural lava moat or you can use an existing lava moat (Like a moat in another player's base). Then, if you jump from a height high enough, you will land in the water. If you dig a hole that connects to your secret house. The bad thing is, you can then use elytra to fly out. If you have enough armour and food, you should survive the trip out.

This is not recommended, as it might end up breaking. And you cannot get out if this happens, nor can any other players going in it with you.

If you're on PC/Mac, hold Shift. If on console, crouch.

You can make a secret base on any platform, including Nintendo Switch.

You can place trapdoors on the outside of your walls so spiders can’t climb up, a water moat for endermen, and maybe honey blocks on the border.

Yes, you can. What you need is some strong material(s) and materials for building.

Of course you can! All phones versions are Pocket Edition, which is the edition I play on, and I have made so many secret bases.

Break a block from the side of the hopper and turn yourself in the direction in which the block is.
