Badlands Goldmine Base
Minecraft Place
This is the place to get lots of gold. In the badlands, it's as common as iron. The house here is nothing spectacular, but I spent a lot of time improving the mine. Oh and I randomly found a Stronghold and End Portal!
I like making lots of bases and connecting them with rails, so having a lot of gold is very important. Fortunately, by virtue of being in a badlands, this place has tons of gold. I did my best to make this ravine quite safe and well lit.
The End
And of course, I found an End Portal here! It was a random find - no Eyes of Ender were needed.
I have not visited the End or killed the Ender Dragon yet.
