Showing off what looks to be the perfect place to escape the summer heat, a talented Minecraft builder has shared pictures of their incredible base built atop a snow-capped mountain. The chilly, high-altitude hideaway is an excellent example of how Minecraft’s mountains can be used for so much more than quickly gathering massive quantities of stone.
Although Minecraft players have created all manner of incredible constructions in the block-based building title over the years, it's still impressive how much work some gamers put into their in-game base of operations. From sprawling undersea habitats stretching out across the sea floor to an epic Minecraft pyramid base in the desert, fans of Mojang’s massively popular sandbox game seemingly have no limit to their imagination. Combining architecture and entertainment in ways that are constantly surprising, these often colossal constructions are among the most impressive Minecraft builds around.
Providing a prime example of just how creative players can get when choosing a spot for their base in Minecraft, Redditor Daffysamlake_ shared some gorgeous pictures of their imposing mountain hideaway. Nestled on a ridge next to the summit of a nearby mountain, the impressive and imposing stone base fits perfectly with the rugged surroundings. Built in such a way that the base seems to grow out of the mountain surrounding it, the snow-covered construction has a striking, cinematic appearance. With its Brutalist style and sparing use of red accents to break up the otherwise grim and gray exterior, this impressive Minecraft base looks like a Cold War relic frozen in time.
Redditors responding to the post on r/Minecraft were blown away by the impressive build, with responses saying it reminded them of everything from the lair of a James Bond villain to an SCP containment site. Noticing a striking similarity to a prominent set piece from Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending 2010 sci-fi film, one popular response pointed out that it looked like the mountain fortress from Inception re-made in Minecraft. Other responses to the stunning set of screenshots were simply awed by the sheer scale of the impressive base, with one Redditor joking that they couldn’t tell exactly how large it was but were “pretty sure it's somewhere between big and huge.”
While a craggy, snow-covered mountaintop may not be everyone’s first choice of place to make their in-game home, it’s hard to argue that this menacing Minecraft base is anything other than impressive. And while its intimidating facade doesn’t make for the most welcoming exterior, at least the massive stone walls should help keep out the Creepers once the sun goes down.
Minecraft is available on mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
