[[category:New Avalon]]
The Base is a large fortress built by dnolan1337 in the far corners of New Avalon near Shabbyjazz Castle. It serves as dnolan's primary base of operations. Its location was selected purely because of the total amount of slime spawning chunks in the area.
Description
The base is a 100 diameter cubestone and glass circular wall, with a large building at each of the 4 compass points on the circular wall. Each building is color coded and serves a unique purpose. The field created by the circular wall is 7 below sea level. The inner walls surrounding the field are lined with wooden planks. The Base makes extensive use of stone brick, glass panes, wooden planks, and cubestone.
So far 2.5 double chests of cubestone, 4 chests of pine logs, a chest of cobble, a double chest of panes, a double chest of smoothstone, and 4 chests of stone brick have gone into the base's construction. The tower will require another chest of stone bricks and a chest of cubestone to complete.
The base currently extends from Y5 to Y 97, with most of the structure being hidden underground and in several hollow mountains created during the initial Terra-forming.
Features
The Base contains all resources and services needed to play Minecraft. The base features:
- A spider spawner setup to support either XP or a lava blade item trap.
- Several strip mines at level 12.
- A semi automatic chicken coop and cooker.
- Two seperate brewing areas. One for small scale brewing up to 60 pots, and a 2nd for brewing 200+ potions at once.
- A fully adjustable Enchantment room, with 3 levels of adjustment.
- A fully automatic sugarcane farm next to the brewing facilities.
- A hidden portal to the nether, in a temple themed hidden room.
- Underground animal pens containing moshrooms and pigs.
- An underground tree farm that contains 81 trees, for an average of 8-10 stacks of wood per harvest.
- A multilevel 100 x 80 slime hunting ground, with 14 active slime chunks. The slime hunting ground starts at bedrock level.
- A void hole.
- A semi automatic melon farm, producing a stack of melon slices every visit.
- An underground Auto Harvest Wheat farm that produces around 12 stacks of wheat per harvest.
- Underground overflow storage for common materials gathered clearing the base and other bases (home to 28 chests of cobble).
- A red stone powered quick equip room, designed to quickly equip dnolan1337 with all necessary equipment to go mining.
- Underground sheep pens, complete with color coded doorways and escape proof pens.
- Below sea level bedroom with a glass wall looking out into the ocean.
- Fully equipped bathroom.
- Underwater mushroom dome lined with mycelium for quick mushroom growth.
- A large central tower, that starts at y55 and will terminate at build cap height. The tower will eventually house a large circular viewing platform at y255.
Construction
The Base straddles several biomes, including ocean, Taiga, Extreme Mountains, and plains. A large percentage of the central field of the base was originally ocean, back filled with gravel and sand. Special thanks to SunnySoulSheep and Knolan1121 for placing most of it. Two mountains were cleared to make way for the base. Once the base was completed, the remainder of the mountains were hollowed out, and rebuilt to look natural while leaving as much internal space as possible, these caverns now house the chicken coop and wheat farm.
After the land was Terra-formed to sea level, and the outer walls were built, a circular cobble path was built around the inner wall of the base. The inner field was then dropped a further 7 levels, and the walls lined with wooden planks. The bottom of the field was lined with dirt and seeded with grass. Initially the field was lit with torches, but due to it being used to generate flowers and seeds, the torches were quickly switched for recessed glow stone lighting.
After, the Brown color coded wing was built, housing dnolan1337s primary storage area, the only doorway in the base to go outside the walls, and his crafting area. All other buildings were then created. As new features were desired, further rooms and staircases were added to the base to support the project. The most current project is the central tower and staircase. The tower took a total of 3 hrs to build, the staircase took a further 5.
More digging is required to add an underground redstone and rail powered breeding machine, along with increasing the total number of levels for the slime hunting ground.
