With a number of biomes to choose from, Minecraft players have a lot of choices as to where they can build the bases. One option is to build their base underwater.

Notably, underwater Minecraft bases are safer than their land counterparts. This is because they are harder for hostile mobs to reach. While it might take longer to build a base underwater, they are well worth the investment.

Here’s a list of the top five best underwater base designs in Minecraft.
