i prefer digging a cave under a little house (this is more faster and safe)

meanwhile i build a bigger house (It may take 1 month or more)

I always do that. If not, then I dig underground.

I am guessing you hate jungles, right?

I don't hate them to be honest, but rather just tired of spawning in the jungle biome often.

I always start by making a house.

i usually cut down a tree then make the house. above ground.

I have a love hate relationship with them. The love part being the timber mod allows you to get stacks and stacks of jungle wood in a very short time, and ocelots. The hate part is everything else having to do with the jungle. They look nice but are annoying to navigate in without a map or tracking your coordinates, and there is little 1 block tall trees EVERYWHERE which i can't stand.

What I'm wondering wondering is why the game spawn you in jungles so much, because its been happening quite a lot to me recently. Either that or taiga. Dont get me wrong i like the looks of taiga biomes and love using spruce wood in builds but you get snow over everything and it fills your inventory a lot while trying to work

I make a hole in a hill, and live there for my first few days. Then, when I feel that I have enough wood and stone, I build an actual house.

Exactly. I always spawn in a jungle or taiga.

I invariably hollow out a dwelling in the side of a mountain/hill. I expand this later into a full size house taking up the whole mountain.

I made my house in a NPC village, so I can live with them and trade with them.

bad idea. if your playing on a difficulty, the village will probably be hit by a zombie siege

That's true. I tried living in an NPC village and there where zombie sieges every other day.

Caves are take less resources, but houses are more stylish. So house

Where I spend my first night, In order from most likely to least likely:

The proberbial "hidey hole" (A small room in the side of a hill, cliff, ravine, etc.)


A house I built.

Up a tree. (Don't laugh, unlike a pillar, it keeps you safe from spiders, zombies, skeletons, AND creepers.)

In a village.

Up in a tree actually does keep you pretty safe but you just don't wanna fall

I usually find a nice cliff, build up to it, and over time excavate a huge house. If it's. flat where I spawn, I. Just dig down into a hidey hole

It really depends on how far I've made it before nightfall. (I prefer to make a house then move to a cave)

In my last new survival game I decided to try to build a hut first thing instead of the usual cave. Came up with what I now call an emergency shelter. Even in the biome I spawned in (Biomes O' Plenty Shrubland) I was able to gather enough wood before nightfall to build a 5x5x3 with the first layer partially dug out of the ground on top of a bare hill. I created a ladder on the outside and the inside to reach the roof where I could watch my surroundings in 360 throughout the night. Even took on some helpless mobs on the ground from the rooftop. The whole thing could be broken down and re-setup somewhere like a tent.

Sometime soon I hope to set up a private server so I can do some cross-country adventuring with friends...I may use this simple emergency shelter as a portable base.

I usually live in houses unless I'm playing a world with Tinker's Construct in it. I temporally live in an open cave then I just quickly make a good hammer and then find a large mountain. I then carve out pretty much the entire mountain and put up different walls. So I guess it's still a house just inside a mountain.

I always make a deep cave add some walls chests beds and crafting tables and you can perfectly live there for a long time.
