    As you all know, I spend most of my time either looking for bases, raiding bases, or selling raided items. Since this is very time consuming, I was hoping you could help me by making your base easier to raid, sell, or profit from. The following are a few simple rules that I would like the server to follow to make it easy for me:

    1). Don't: Use mutiple vaults, deposit your gold, and sell extra/unused materials in the shop.
    Do: Put your gold in your chests. And have like 50 chests full of stuff. Especially food, because that is one of the most valuable items in the game.

    2). Don't: Wear your OP all the time, especially when you log off.
    Do: Put your OP in your vault. I can't raid it if you are wearing it and are logged out. In fact, if you'll be gone for a while and you grab all your OP, food, valuables, etc. and log out, I can't raid that.

    3). Don't: Make your base too small for a nether portal to spawn.
    Do: Make large, cavernous areas for netherportals to spawn if someone tracks you. Better yet: Build a nether portal in the middle of your base. Sometimes, I construct nether portals just to see where I end up, and I have found people dumb enough (Hype, cough) to put one in their base.

    4). Don't: Use common sense in making a minimal base.
    Do: Create a expansive house/cave/mansion, with stairs/ladders/minecarts/whatever leading to your vault. I know it's raiding time when I come across a random well made town in the middle of nowhere.

    5). (Underground bases) Don't: Cover your base up properly with stone, natural building materials, and blocks that make your base not detectable from the surface, and don't seal up your OP chests with stone.
    Do: Tower out of your vault with cobble, all the way to the surface, so I know where it is. Or just leave a hole, it's easier for me. Also, if you cover your OP chests with stone I won't see them.

    6). (Sky bases) Don't: Use just chests or other entity style blocks not visible from the surface.
    Do: Use blocks like cobble, dirt, trees, soul sand, and anything else that is visible or casts a shadow.

    7). Don't: Keep your base as minimal as possible, avoiding the use of things that could be entities.
    Do: Have hundreds of entites in your base, like cows or chickens. (Entites that make noise are even better- hearing 50 cows when wandering on the surface is a dead giveaway there's a base just below). Minecraft debug console does show entity counts, and when I am walking around and this spikes to some ungodly number I will find your base.

    8). Don't: Use mundane/minimal materials, or keep your tracker separate from your base.
    Do: Use exotic stuff like iron trackers, glowstone for lighting, 12 enchant tables, 53 anvils and random blocks of gold. I love mining and selling this. A combo tracker-base is the best, and it's a 2-for-1 raid.

    9). Don't: Put your vaults at the bottom or top (Y=10 and below-ish or Y=250 and above-ish).
    Do: Put your stuff on the surface. I hate digging down and I hate towering up even more.

    10). Don't: Move your base if you've been raided.
    Do: Keep using that spot. Preraided bases are all over and raiders don't care if they leave holes, or tower out with cobble so finding your base is much easier when there already is a path to get to it.

    Anyway, thanks for your help, and as always- your stuff is my stuff (Except team Ba55 of course).

    Too bad I don't have a base, it'd be an honour for me if you were to raid it.

    This is the best guide ever. I need to improve some things because I only do the things I shouldn't be doing according to this guide thing. Thanks for the help! (And yes this is all sarcasm, just like the guide itself. :stuck_out_tongue:)

    I take measures that make raiding me both very difficult and not worth the effort. My OP fits in two dispensers, and my 'base' is periodically sold to /shop, brewed into pots or traded with villagers.
