What you’ll build
Nobody would look for a secret base inside an iceberg. Sail to a frozen ocean, pick a giant iceberg and measure it. Carve out rooms with a hidden entrance and a sea-view window, light it up, then work out how much ice you dug away.
Finish line: Your secret base is hidden inside the iceberg, lit up, with a window looking out to sea.
Bonus challenge: Add an escape hatch straight down into the sea. Then time it: how fast can you get from your deepest room to open water?
You’ll need
- Pickaxes
- Food
- A boat
- Light blocks
You choose
- My hideout's code name
- Secret entrance: underwater, a cave mouth or a hidden hatch?
- The one room every ice base needs
Stuck?
- Mined ice disappeared? Packed ice drops nothing unless you have Silk Touch, so every block dug is gone.
- Walls turning to water? Plain ice can melt near bright light, but packed and blue ice never melt.
- Watch for polar bears: they defend their cubs.
