Just a quick thing. I wanted to know if there were any ideas for practical defense tips against other players?
Playing on an anarchy server, and base defense is needed. I already have an underwater base with lava walls.

Make your walls lava sandwiches with obsidian for bread. Floor and ceiling, too.
Not perfect of course, but it's minimum of edit[80] seconds to get through. You could also build near a monster spawner and in a monster-friendly area (multistory monster trap), and on floor 0 for protection from below. No door though =\ Have to seal it every time you leave or enter, and it won't protect you forever.
I find security through obscurity the best option. Find a way to conceal your entrance (under a tree or underwater, no torches, etc). Then have a few red herring rooms with additional multiple hidden entrances, and clear every scrap of ore. With luck, an intruder will just think he stumbled onto a worked over mine, and with a little more luck won't dig into your tunnels.

Go to the bottom of the ocean and dig down 4-5 blocks. Then dig laterally 4-5 blocks. Place a door.

= Ladder
= Door
= You chillin'
Important note: Don't put a torch anywhere near that door. Put your first torch at the bottom of the ladder, otherwise the light might glow in the bottom of the ocean.
I've had a hidden base at the bottom of an ocean for nearly 3 months on a server now by using this technique.
I find a nice hidden entrance (under a tree or some water) dig straight (using ladders to get back up of course) down until I hit bedrock (have no torches so you cant see the ladders), make a maze, have 7 block thick layer of obsidian with lava between every other layer, have two iron doors protecting the entrance rigged with tnt w/ pressure plates, a long tunnel filled with arrow dispensers w/pressure plates, a maze of glass, a red stone combination lock on an iron door in between some luckily placed bedrock, and a lake of lava in front of the path. I use /home so I don't have to deal with getting back in XD

I believe it. Bedrock bases can get uncovered while people mine, but it is pretty rare for people to accidentally or even intentionally go near ocean depths. Nothing useful at that depth, and water is a pain to deal with.

pure win! as added protection, in case someone follows you and finds it, make a few dope rooms, a chest with some semi good stuff, maybe 1 diamond, and when they leave (not noticing the hidden entrance to the real lair) you are still safe and they are satisfied.
1. Find 3 Diamonds
2. Find Obsidian/Make Obsidian
3. Build room out of Obsidian with 1 Iron Door, make sign saying "____'s Base"
4. Build Base behind Obsidian room, bun not connected
5. Build pressure plate in front of iron door
6. Nothing in the room
7. Button near the door with sign saying "Exit"
8. When pressed Lava pours in room
9. No time to escape
10. They burn, and leave your base alone out of fear
For your doors, make obsidian lava sandwiches (if you're lucky, bedrock), and only use an iron door. Put the door on a complicated combination lock. Keep lava above the door. If they break the obsidian, lava. If they break the door, lava.
Also, paintings obscure things nicely.
Obsidian lava sandwich. People will easily be deterred by obsidian, and lava is the most dangerous hazard.

Honestly, that is the best idea I have ever seen, and I hang around the suggestion forums a lot.
to you, also the obsidian lava sammiches are good as well, more tips would always be helpful.

Besides not being seen, I mean like practical traps or things to help slow down raiders.

Good luck!
I like your "worked over mine" idea
Remember, this is a Chaos/Anarchy server, so no rules.
360 TNT cannon
How is this going to help me at all?
Arrow dispensers are expensive to make considering how annoying it is to get string
Done
???
again ???
We require creepers for gunpowder, TNT landmines need LOTS of gunpowder for TNT restock.

Then make a secret back door.

You're getting warned for smiley spam, obviously.
The best trap on it for you will probably be the ladder trap.
