5 best Minecraft sky bases that are easy to build

Minecraft is a game that is designed for every type of player. This comes from its core mechanics, which include combat, exploration, and building. While combat and exploration encompass a major part of Minecraft’s survival experience, building is something that is sometimes left aside, to work on later.

However, it is also one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences of any Minecraft player, whether they are new or a veteran.

Sky bases can be built in a variety of ways. They are creative and show promise, while having unlimited room to expand and, as an added bonus, offering a nice view.
