    Will somebody find my base with their tools?
    Community Answer
    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.

    What if I build a base and I forget where it is, but I do not want to put anything near it because it will look suspicious?

    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.
