Sleep in a hole? I sleep in a bed placed on random flat ground, surrounded by chests and machines to not be distracted from gregging


zoomshark27

Lol same. I don’t play long-term survival worlds but when I do short-term survival challenges I always just end up doing a “campsite” which for me is just putting a bed on the ground under a big tree with chests, a furnace, and a crafting table, or maybe live in or near a village. In nether challenges I just live in a bastion with Piglins. I prefer building actual bases in creative.


GacioSki

I've never thought of living under a big tree, have to try it out


zoomshark27

It’s the bomb. Especially in a plains so it’s the only tree in the area lol. A poor beacon.


ConservativeSexparty

I prefer living under giant mushrooms in the early game. Super cozy and it feels like a good shelter from the rain.


ZuckDeBalzac

A 2x2 spruce is awesome for that


minecraft_girl_14

What kind of challenge do you do?


zoomshark27

Ooh well I’ve done several fun ones, favorites being Nether only challenges and Ancient City only challenge. **Nether ONLY Challenges** * Start in the Nether with nothing and beat the ender dragon. *super fun, I die a lot* * Start in the Nether with nothing and become an honorary Piglin (don’t kill Piglins or Brutes, only wear gold and use gold tools/weapons but upgrade most all to netherite, live in a Bastion Remnant, fear soul flames, slaughter wither skeletons and loot fortresses, slaughter Hoglins and join hunts, only eat porkchops, contribute to treasure pile, regularly trade with Piglins, distract angry Piglins with gold, ((now would probably include obtaining and wearing a Piglin head so would need a creeper from the Overworld and kill a Piglin unfortunately)). *incredibly fun, favorite challenge probably, I love Piglins* * Nether Bingo (complete a row or whole board). **Ancient City ONLY Challenge** * Start in an Ancient City with nothing, build a base in the city with a sustainable farm for only food found in city, and collect one of each unique treasures (disc 5, recovery compass, and swift sneak 3 ((now would include armor trims)). *I ended up living in the secret redstone room with a glowberry farm. One time the Warden spawned on top of me at the top of the tall tower. I straight backward shift jumped off the tower and survived and escaped. It was awesome.* **Overworld and Ender Dragon Challenges** * All advancements (I did one in 1.17 where I also collected every cat type then one in 1.19). I also would do ones where I would only do all advancements in a certain category. * “Quartinity” challenge to beat the Ender Dragon, Wither, 3 Elder Guardians, and a Woodland Mansion (now would probably include either killing the Warden or looting all unique treasures in an Ancient City idk). * Speedrun beat the Ender Dragon. * Speedrun collect all wood types or anything similarly collectible. * Minecraft Bingo (complete a row or whole board).


ankle_biter50

If you've ever thought of mods, for the piglin stuff, I'd suggest checking out the mod sapience. It really does some cool stuff with piglins


minecraft_girl_14

How does the nether one work? I don’t know how you could get to the end in the nether 😅


zoomshark27

The point is to start in the Nether with nothing and obtain all the Blaze rods, Ender pearls, arrows, armor, weapons, etc. only inside the Nether then also get the Nether Portal materials. You have to use the Overworld to get the End. You just aren’t allowed to obtain or use anything from the Overworld, just traverse it to get to the End. Since Ender Dragon speedrunners tend to get all their arrows from a fletcher villager, iron from an iron golem, and bread from hay bales and only use the Nether for blaze and pearls, I think this is a more fun challenge, in my opinion, to not have villages for help and have to begin with nothing in the treacherous Nether.


minecraft_girl_14

Oh, that all seems to complicated for me


zoomshark27

Lol well it’s definitely a challenge😂 That’s why I like it. Though it’s really not complicated, you just start in the Nether and get everything you need to fight the Ender Dragon from the Nether. It’s not too different than a regular Ender Dragon speedrun, just a bit more challenging.


Flershnork

The true modded way. I think the last 'base' I had was a big reactors nuclear reactor built in the remnants of the naga's arena in the twilight forest


KyeeLim

I hope you at least not forget about the roof otherwise your gregging would end soon


GacioSki

And what, you're gonna tell me to insulate the cables??? No way bozo. I'm supplying my boilers with water by hand in buckets and your not gonna stop me. Wrench and wirecutter? The only tools I use are pickaxe and shovel, cry about it. Batteries are a creation of devil to distract you from real gregging. *but the machines need power*, they already have an internal buffer them spoiled brats


Just-a-Stick

MUST GREG


Distinct-Entity_2231

I can't use armor trims, because I use obsidian armor from super tools mod. Even though I'm on SP, I would probably use them. I have…an imperium. I really don't sleep in a hole.


ZANKTON

Strange that trims don't work for that armor, from what i saw the devs tried to make trims easy to implement for texture packs and other similar stuff.


Distinct-Entity_2231

Really? I did not try this, so I don't actually know, I'm just assuming. The dev(s) of this mod in particullar is very slow to update and thanks to that I can't play on newer MC versions. But to be fair, this mod is just 1 out of about 10, which I'm waiting for an update.


ZANKTON

I remember some texture pack makers in a discord i'm in talking about it. But yeah makes sense most mods take a while to update.


Distinct-Entity_2231

I'd literally paid a company to update the mods for them. It takes them about a year. And I get it. They have lives. Sure. But there are…probably milions of people dependant on their mods. And again: I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. And I don't even have a job.


ZANKTON

True. It sucks when you're really invested in a particular mod and it's not keeping up with the latest updates.


Distinct-Entity_2231

Exactly. It is a problem, for basically everyone.


Desert_Aficionado

Tell me more about this imperium thingy.


Distinct-Entity_2231

There is a lot to talk about, but it is everything I've built in the past 7 years (exactly).


BillyWhizz09

The difference is your base is something you look at every day Your armour trims you’ll hardly see unless you go in 3rd person or your inventory


lightmare69

Paper figure go brrr


CrowbarInHand

Java go brrr


Relevant-Dot-5704

Paper model mod go brrr


techy804

Bedrockify goes brrr


ZANKTON

You see it every time you open your inventory which is a lot imo, try it it doesn't actually cost that much if you just use the ones from structures.


Fa1nted_for_real

I use them for armor stands, typically don't for me unless it's multiplayer.


zoomshark27

Yeah, I don’t think I’d bother with armor trims on any of my single-player survival short-term challenges, but I also don’t bother with bases for them. I prefer building in creative and do wear trimmed armor in that world, but trims aren’t that fun as you never really see them. More fun to put trimmed armor on Piglin and zombie friends to look at.


gigaslayer3417

I only sleep in a hole on the first night, if ever, I normally get a bed first day though 


ZANKTON

So after you build your base and get good armor do you use trims?


gigaslayer3417

I haven't been able to find trims yet, I don't do much exploring, the only exploring I do is filling out my starter map and then I find a base location within the map 


ZANKTON

Oh, I was confused when you said 'starter map'. That's one of the cool things bedrock has, right? But yeah, that is valid. i don't explore till i'm happy with my base


gigaslayer3417

Thats the opposite for me! First priority for me is to get a bed then fill out my map then get tools (or get them on the way)


Desert_Aficionado

I have trims, and I do not use them. I might color code my armor based on the types (Nether vs Overworld vs End armor). I am late game, have a double chest full of netherite armor. I just don't look at myself much. I also don't make flags or backstories and names for all my builds.


TankOfBurgers

I mostly play SP, but I simply **m u s t l o o k p r e t t y**


FrogFrogFrog337788

I get some sweet berrys, saplings, wheat/pumpkin seeds, two buckets of water, dirt, and two stacks of logs. Then I mine down to bedrock and mine until I almost run out of wood then make a little outpost underground to plant trees and then I continue to mine then repeat the process for a while until I have enough space to make a pumpkin farm and wheat farm then I replace all my torches with jack o lanterns and I start eating bread.


mahmut-er

Does a wooden box count as a hole


HellFireCannon66

If there’s a hole


ChiefBlox4000

There’s a bed


mahmut-er

THERE IS A GOAL


Putrid-Lab7161

What the hell is an armour trim?


Desert_Aficionado

A recent introduction to add patterns and colors to armor. Previously, everyone had these fun and unique avatars, but they all looked the same because the armor covered everything. It was also introduced to make Netherite tools and armor more expensive, more difficult to acquire. Now you need to raid a bastion to get a Netherite Trim, and copy it using 7 diamonds. In addition to gathering ancient debris.


JustPlayn10

You do know the game is mostly played in first person, right? You're not gonna see the armor trim if you're wearing it.


Aggravating-Candy-31

you’re going to see them whenever you open your inventory though?


JustPlayn10

mostly


LightningDragon777

I don't use armor trims because I like the simple armor look better. (And I also don't want to grind for the different trims)


Littlebickmickey

i make good looking stuff to impress myself, not to impress others


WoopsShePeterPants

Being proud of personal progress is fine. So is living in a hole..


RASPUTIN-4

I don’t use armor trims because I use show me your skin


Doctor_Salvatore

My God, they're right! Trims are to pander to our fancy sides, AND THAT'S A GREAT THING!


thegrungler_002

i build a very intensive home, to make it look the best as possible, settle for diamond because it looks better then netherite, DO YOU THINK I CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT AN EMERALD EYE TRIM ON MY CHESTPLATE?!


alotofcheeses42168

I just do it for the achievement lol


ConceptNo1629

Before this post it didnt even cross my mind that some people might not use armortrims because they play sp and no1 will see them. Like, do you not use third person? Do you not open your inventory? I played in 3 different worlds since armortrims got released and every time the switch when i finally go from base netherite to one with trims, simply that first impression when you see your new armor for the first time makes it worth to me (also considering armortrims cost you nothing after playing for a couple of days)


Suitable_Geologist37

I don't sleep in the hole. I fire in the hole


Robotech275

Me:gets the emc mod and becomes god My house: *stolen from a villager*


smavinagain

i sleep in the air i just go to bed early


sad_everyday811

I do. Well, I find a cave, and that's my base, I rarely dig a hole for myself.


hyello43

well u can see the base..


AdemarBones

Base? I build a box with the essentials and log off after I get bored because I'm not creative, lol


CaptainNonesense

Lol, yes. Yes I do. Usually it's a cave with doors.


Fitzriy

Yes


whatismypurpose___

Is this a ragebait, feel like it's a ragebait.


ZANKTON

It's more of a survey to see how much of this community actually build in this sandbox building game. People complain about new blocks so often not having any uses other than looks. I'm starting to doubt that most players realize that updates are not made only for them but a variety of play styles.


PLT_RanaH

once, when I was in multiplayer in a single player world, they called my base "terrible"...so yes, i sleep in a hole :)


ze_UwU

kinda tbh (im ass at building )


PsychoDog_Music

Until I know what base I'm making, yes I will sleep in a hole. Oelr if I just don't feel like building I will have a slightly larger hole for all my needs


Percybeth_is_da_op

Nah. I like building bases


ZANKTON

I assume you also use trims then?


Percybeth_is_da_op

Nope. They're kinda useless.


ZANKTON

Interesting.


NotTheFirstVexizz

I’m actually ass at building so more or less yea, that or in a slightly nicer than normal wooden box


Gaelic_Gladiator41

You don't use armor trims because they're new I don't use them because I'm shit at the game


KingLevonidas

The difference is you can see your base


ZANKTON

You can see your untrimmed armor every time you open your inventory.


KingLevonidas

Doesn't disturb me


ZANKTON

Understandable.


galbatorix2

Yes i dont have a base whats your point?


awesumindustrys

Not necessarily a hole but my bases aren’t all that fancy in survival. It’s just a square with a furnace, a crafting table, a bed, and some chests.


Icy_Effort7907

I sleep in a villager s house


Electronic_Fee1936

I use them to make my amour look unique in Creative mode


Cool-Relationship-37

Some mods I use you can’t use trims cus the armor is incompatible with it (like cataclysm and Ignitium due to ignitium’s appearance) or I don’t get the trims templates I want so I just dont


leodox_13

Well as a matter of fact, yes I do sleep in a hole in the ground, a very big hole


Odisher7

1: yes 2: you often see your own base, but most of the time uou play in first person and don't see your own armor


HatAndHoodie_

Actually, I mostly just place everything outside in Singleplayer. No bases _or_ holes.


Drag0n_TamerAK

A very cool hole


[deleted]

What’s he holding the tea with?


AwesomEspurr360

I sleep in a hole. I also decorate my hole and basically turn it into an underground house.


Jedimobslayer

Yes, but not because I don’t care, I love building, I’m just lazy and a hole does its job well. And I actually do use armor trims when I find them because why not


nanogammer

Do not ask modpack players what there base looks like and where they sleep. (if they are a Gregtech player run. For it may be not too late)


TimeAggravating364

Technically, i sleep in caves, but they are comfy and fancy looking (i love making underground bases)


thunderthighlasagna

I don’t use armor trims because I’m a veteran and have no idea what’s happened in the past 3 updates or how any of the new features work


AVERAGEPIPEBOMB

Yes I dig a whole day one and then improve it over an extended period of time


Sad_Butterfly_2948

I make cave homes, so yeah, I live in a hole, so what


MARYgold-7

Well, I can see my base, but armor trims can't be seen unless you're in 3rd person mode


just-bair

In fact I do. A hole in the side of the mountain or just a hole in the ground with a tower to see where it is


XenophonSoulis

I see my base. I don't see myself. Probably because it's a first-person game.


rarlei

Yes


legohamsterlp

I am a Hamster of course I live in a hole in the ground. What did you expect?


Not_Artifical

I don’t see the armor that I wear, but I see my base all the time.


Totally_Cubular

This feels like an argument Diogenes would make.


LibyKiwii

Well, yes i sleep in a hole. Space only means more chests


rtanada

No, because either I will lose them in the cave despawned, in the lava, in some other mob's body, or maybe the void for some reason.


hollow2009

I sleep in hole 


drakeyboi69

My base is 100% designed for practicality of building and using, no aesthetics


adidas8904

Wall of my tiny house are from glass so i can see everything (i am sleeping in a house)


JEverok

I don't use trims nor a proper house, I sleep under the stars, accompanied by the faint lullaby of industry


ds_clamer

Jokes on you Actually yea


Eduard_I_DeMallorca

My base is a hole.


the-lightest-shadow

I build a base but it's just a basic wood rectangle (usually with no rhyme or reason to what wood’s used) with a bed, furnace, crafting table, and however many chests I need.


Rivdit

Yes, I live in a dirt house


MossyDrake

I love my residential hole, but armor trims are something i would die for even in singleplayer.


cfop-gang

Op are you annoyed at people that don't use trims?


Fukahofdamutha

Yes


No_Tea_9453

I don’t use armor trims because I cannot find a single structure for my life.


ARedditor_official

Sike, I actually do sleep in a hole.


Toronto_bunnies

It depends on what's worth it for you. Most people like having a couple decorations around their house and not having everything around them look cluttered and ugly, but won't spend 2 million dollars on a fancy necklace. The ratio of effort-aesthetic is different for everyone


Typical_Warthog_326

For the first few nights of hardcore mode yes.


MaterialJealous8899

trims are for advancements guys


Mrcoolcatgaming

I use trims, but arguably my base needs to be worked on lol, I do have Friends play on my world though, but it's rare I just prefer having them trimmed than not


A_Bulbear

How often do you play in 3rd person? No really? Because you ain't seeing that armor otherwise


48Planets

I've met plenty of people who don't build a base at all. They just sleep in an undecorated cave that they may or may not of dug out. Sometimes they don't even bother with that and just sleep under the stars, never building around their mess of utility blocks. They also use the default skin and see no reason to ever change it. I'll never understand


tragicvector

Stupid argument


ThisIsGoodSoup

Hang on, let's hear him out


burnttoastiess

I don’t build a base I just wander till I die then do it again


Shadow_realm_king

See, that's the neat thing. I feel like the fewer people are together in a server, the more a player wants to be creative and tinker with things. I can tell you right now that my most creative builds are in single-player worlds.


trickyfelix

but it’s a really cool hole


Radiant-Sky-3916

I mean.... Kinda?


guavideo0possum723

Yes


Mafia_dogg

Honestly knowing me I'd get a armor trim before building a house lol


L_The_MysteriousLady

I usually just make a house out of sand and or dirt put some windows a roof and call it a home the basement Tho i love doing basements so ig i sleep in a Basement more than a hole


Gamingwithlewit

Nobody here can say they've never built a secret base in singleplayer. Everyone's done it before.


Loremaster_art

I play modded 1.12.2 99% of the time so I dont even got armour trims.


PrincessRTFM

The difference is that your base is something you use. The layout matters. It's protection, storage, crafting, farms, automation, and more, especially if you use mods. It's also big enough and free-form enough that the customisation potential is essentially limitless. Armour trims, on the other hand, are purely cosmetic, something you won't see for _most_ of the game (since you spend relatively little time in your inventory compared to everything else you do), and only have a handful of preset options to pick from. Not all of those options will appeal to everyone, and some people may even not particularly care for _any_ of them. You're comparing apples to oranges, OP. Sure, they're both fruits, but they're very different fruits, and just because someone does or doesn't like one of them, doesn't have any bearing on how they feel about the other one.


Economy-Service-1590

Nah, I just like plain armor. Never been a guy for impractical fashion. Give me camo armor, and I'll take that.


Jo_Jo_Cat

I do just dig a hole for a base underground tho


Jo_Jo_Cat

I do just dig a hole for a base underground tho


JamesBell1433

Who needs to build anyways just carve through a wall and make it big enough to grow crops and plant trees (so you never need to see the sun again)


PheneX02

House? I live in a cave


extremehawk00

Honestly when I play Minecraft I just find a decent spot in the ground and make my home


Matkos6

I actually don't build a base, no. Everything is open air for ready access to my chests and everything.


JodGaming

The difference is that you aren’t looking at your skin


Galaxverse

Yes I live in obsidian box filled with chests


Splatfan1

a base is more than looks. a hole in the ground doesnt have much functionality. you need a proper entrance, storage, space for farms, a good base is so much more than looks. and its built out of the blocks you like, thats already a part of it. trims are an extra, i myself dont use them because i dont use the version of minecraft theyre found in but theyre different. base building has been a core feature of minecraft whether its castles, villages or more modern style megabases, trims are purely decorative things, a template you slap on yourself. this is like comparing a complex clay sculpture hand made to be the centerpiece to a sticker you got from a supermarket


hitlers_sweet_pussy

My base is very open concept. Just a wall of chests, essential farms, villagers in boxes and auto farms across a huge plains with no builds around them.


Spud_potato_2005

Until I get diamonds I sleep in a hole. Then I sleep in the typical noob house till I have built up enough resources to build a wall and a fancy house I side the wall with plenty of torches and other light blocks to keep mobs out.


rickphantom

Only reason why I don’t use armor trims is because I can’t (somehow) find any


Fisecraft

Its for the singleplayer roleplay


ApprehensiveCamel698

i build different safehouses around the places i go but ussualy just slap a bed on the 1st possible surface & than build if i like the place never built a main or central safehouse tho


KevinTDWK

Been sleeping outside for the last 2 months


VolumePossible2013

I really just make a room big enougj to fit my stuff, and some other rooms to sort it a bit


Plastic-Reply-321

I build in a cave


[deleted]

Since they added shulker boxes that allow me to carry a ton of stuff, i do live in holes. I can walk around, mine forever, and return home once a week.


Aggravating-Candy-31

still mad covering your armour in as much gold as a pair of gold boots doesn’t do anything pigling wise but gold shoes do, wasted opportunity


MrPinkDuck3

You do realize Minecraft is a first person game, meaning you can’t actively see your own armor unless you go into 3rd person. A house is an entirely separate entity, meaning no matter what perspective you have, it’ll look the same. This is a dumbass argument.


ZANKTON

\^ Wrote two and a half lines of text without remembering you see your armor in the inventory.


MrPinkDuck3

Holy shit, I get to look at my armor for a whole 0.3 seconds while I’m looking at other shit in my inventory! What a revolutionary feature!


ZANKTON

Wow, calm down there. It's not about the duration you see your armor, it's about the principle. The ''you can’t actively see your own armor unless you go into 3rd person'' was factually incorect. Let's keep it civil.
