The default seed template for Spooky Mansion in Minecraft 1.21 puts you on the ROOF. After climbing down, I established a base nearby, built up advancements, and turned the mansion into an empty template with a mob farm.In Spooky Mansion 2, you will start in Hard mode at Base One, located next to a nearby river. You're wearing a suit of diamond armor with Projectile Protection and carrying a full set of tools. The base is loaded with building materials, more tools, and fine valuables. From there, you can access the secure nether hub, with safe passages leading to a skeleton XP grinder, blaze grinder, and back to the mansion lobby.The walls and all structures of the mansion's three floors have been cleared out, keeping only the staircases. Floors 2 and 3 are windowed and well-lit, ready to be updated to your preferences. The ground floor has been sealed off from light, except for a few dim sources near the corners of one massive dark room. You can safely AFK in the mansion lobby near the stairs, then charge into the room through a double-gated entry to fight for gunpowder and glory.Back at base, visit the trading hall for villagers with Unbreaking III, Fortune III, Blast IV, and Mending books, plus a broad field of sugar cane to trade with. They are even secure enough to withstand a raid, effectively making Base One a raid fort.Spooky Mansion 2 is a template map, giving you freedom to turn the default mansion seed into your own custom version. Stay tuned this Halloween for MY own custom version, SPOOKY MANSION TV!

Bedrock edition now has Hardcore mode, where death is permanent. Many players have been asking for Legit Survival hardcore maps. Understandable! It’s a natural variation on what we offer, perhaps more purely “legit survival” than playing in Peaceful.I’ve prepared multiple Hardcore maps and combined them into one listing, Legit Survival Hardcore Mode. In each map, you have a small underground base, stone tools, a sword, food, a bed, and early-game supplies like wood and stone. It's just enough to ensure you are sheltered and safe in a well-lit base with enough to get started.As the game says: Good luck! You'll need it.

In Stage II of this five-part series, a Castle begins to take shape.The outer wooden palisade is now a proper stone wall, using the old birch logs to support a parapet walk around the entire perimeter.The keep has been expanded upward AND downward to become a tower. The old dirt motte was peeled away to reveal a new cobblestone structure that seemed to rise up from the ground.Inside the Lonely Tower, storage has been expanded. The original base is now a comfortable residence and library, with enchanting room above.The bailey is ready for townspeople to populate it. For now, they are still home in their own village, just to the south. At Stage II, it's up to you to help them relocate!

We asked you to choose our next theme, and to my delight, you chose CASTLE.In medieval Europe, the site of a magnificent castle in its heyday began a century earlier with the humble motte-and-bailey design.The motte was just a simple keep constructed on a mound of earth, and the bailey was the space inside a hastily-built wooden palisade, meant to keep out marauders. It wasn't enough!But you can make a go of it with Legit Survival Castle Motte-and-Bailey, the first of a five-part series that will see this site grow and develop over "100 years" of semi-historic advancements.
