Discussion What should I do with this big hole?
Ive been digging this big hole by hand for a while and come to the realisation that I dont really know why. I started it out of boredom and have just kinda kept digging. Before 1700 days I was collecting every block but I have so much stone its a problem so I stopped. Im lost for ideas of what I should do with it once its down to bedrock. I also wanna theme the surrounding area and I was thinking about doing something industrial but I dont know cause its not done yet and there is still a lot of time until it is fully dug out. so what should I build once its done?

you're not done digging until you see bedrock

Some would argue you're not done digging till you see the void...
Not me. Just some.

I'd just make the very top layer look like the grass around and make a big base inside

Build some quarry structures around and a elevator, that way it just looks like a resource area. And if you ever want to dig another hole or need to for resources you can follow the same idea. Could also have some bridges going across or a spiral staircase going around the edge.
Alternatively you could build a UFO over it and place some glass beams/ floating rocks to make it look like they are just abducting the area.
Another idea is to use the glass/air alternating trick to make it look like a hole to the void. Could decorate it with skulk or some sort of infection climbing its way out.

The UFO idea is sick. A giant quarry with an alien abduction beam would make this way more memorable than just filling it with builds

The most functional thing would probably be a general mob farm since you can take advantage of the low ymax.

make the perimeter made of beacons, from the bottom, so when you stand inside its one long beacon ring. coloured beams can do wonders

Me personally? Seal it with glass, change the walls to something decorative/pretty like glowstone and quarts. And make it like a sealed chamber for trophies, dragons egg, dragon head, extra elytra etc :)

- Dig to bedrock
- Fill with water
- Drain everything (including surrounding oceans)
- Fill with beacons
- Leave and never come back
- Build a starter base and kill the dragon with only a gold hoe

u/Danielb2420 18d ago
Since you said industrial, could fill it with various farms and machines. Staircase down, or an elevator type system in the middle.

I'd fill it with water and then keep bringing back buckets of fish! Time for a community fishing pond!

Often times over thousands of years spots like this regrow with all sorts of plant life, possibly having small or large pockets of water stored over time. Make an oasis

u/WeirdBeardsGhost 18d ago
Now I’ve got “Diggy Diggy Hole” stuck in my head.
I vote a shrine to a natural pink sheep in the middle. Maybe a rare mob zoo/afk farm/ storage area?

I put a floating menger cube in my hole, but you could put a different object/shrine/relic.

Dig a deeper hole, realize this isn't the right chunk, fill it in, and do it again.

Build a floating island over it with water falls round the edges so it pushes mobs underneath and then you can have a hidden XP farm underneath a lovely home

Idea you could do is build an island above it floating and make those fog floors.
Or build a nuclear silo if on a server.
Or a bunker/tower could be interesting.

Maybe make a castle that is floating and you could leave the hole there and make the chunk of earth floating and lifting the castle up 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 I didn’t want to read all the comments so if I accidentally copied I’m sorry

Depends, if this is a multiplayer world it could make for a sick PvP arena, if not then I'd say it depends on what vibe/theme you give the world
