5 best ways to defend your base in Minecraft – Sportskeeda

The nearly infinite world of Minecraft provides players with a canvas to showcase their creativity. There are hundreds of blocks for players to use in their builds, and players often spend hours building beautiful bases in Minecraft.

After working hard on their base, the last thing anybody would want is hostile mobs destroying it. Hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons and particularly creepers are the worst enemies of Minecraft players.

To avoid unexpected deaths or creeper explosions, players can use various tactics to protect their base. This article details some of the best ways to defend a Minecraft base.


How to defend your Minecraft base

5) Replace those old doors

4) Install traps

While traps aren’t necessary for defending a base, players can add them just for fun. For example, they can create traps to force mobs into a lava pit. However, players should maintain caution as the traps can be a danger to them as well. Instead of lava, players can also add zombies or creepers to prank their friends in Minecraft.


3) Use berry bushes

The easiest way to protect a base from mobs is by spawn proofing. By placing light sources, players can prevent hostile mobs from spawning. Torches are best suited for this job as they are pretty cheap.

Instead of using light sources, players can also use items like buttons or slabs for spawn proofing. Spamming torches might ruin the esthetics of some builds. Using slabs, players can maintain the theme of their base as well.
