Hi gang, One of the things I enjoy most on Minecraft is mining. I usually set out into the waste, find a suitable area (usually a cave or something) and then make a small base where I can store some stuff and from where I can continue mining. So far, so good. I usually walk / run back and forth but this time there's a rather thick forest between my base and the outpost, so I decided to dig a tunnel. I am lazy like that, I can't be bothered with all those mobs all the time To make matters worse... my base is located at y50, so close to the ground (which is usually y64). I also couldn't be bothered to dig a bit deeper but decided to go straight to the outpost So... if you're looking for a safe(r) place to mine then this tunnel might be of some help for you. If you can find it of course /waste se on SMP2 If you go to the South East waste and jump off the outpost building on the East side (use the waterfall) then you'll soon see a small section with stone bricks, land there. This will land you in a small room with a few supplies, and the entrance to the tunnel. Which is somewhat long (around 400 blocks). A small intersection in between Because the tunnel sits so close to the ground there were a few caveats A lake, and a village ... and now also a tunnel I split the river with my own bare glass And in the end you'll end up in the small mining base. It sits close to some larger cave systems so there should be plenty of loot for everyone. There's a bed and an enderchest, and as shown above a fully safe route back to the outpost Small mining base So yeah... It's a somewhat useless tunnel because it doesn't lead to anything super special (like an end portal) but it could still be fun. Also: if you're interested in packed ice then this might also be useful for you because there are 2 spiked ice biomes south of the base. Figured I'd share
