Minecraft is one of the most versatile sandbox games, especially for a multiplayer title. Players can undergo various tasks together, such as mining, farming, exploring, and building. Gamers have limitless options of what to build, and it can get overwhelming with so many options on the table.
Starting a build project with friends in Minecraft can be daunting at first, but provides all players with a task to achieve and accomplish together. Finishing build projects together is incredibly rewarding and adds spice to multiplayer worlds. Hanging out and fooling around in Minecraft with friends is always a fun activity, especially when gamers have a set task to achieve.
These large builds will bring friends together while giving all players a purpose to keep playing and gathering resources. While most builds have a general concept, tweaking things will add a personalized touch and make the build feel unique to those who built it.
7 Museum

Building a Museum is a gateway to unlocking countless small personal builds relating to the multiplayer world. Players can add a rare selection of flowers, create dinosaur skeletons, create custom artwork, trap mobs, and display team banners.
Players can even present unique items, such as the first wooden pickaxe created or making a large map of the local area. Deciding on the size of the museum depends on the size of the community. Smaller friend groups should tackle a smaller museum size, while larger groups can flex their building prowess. Museums are also a great first construction project to show to new players on the server and give them a tour.
6 Wall

Nothing brings a community together like sealing off a large area and creating a safe space. There are countless wall design themes, such as medieval, village, and Japanese. The wall theme should match the surrounding area and buildings.
The Japanese style would fit flawlessly in a Cherry Blossom Biome, but be sure to find a large Cherry Blossom Biome. Once complete, the wall will keep mobs out and create a safe zone for players as long as they have lit the entire area. Walls can also use spare resources, such as abundant stone obtained from mining that would otherwise gather dust in a chest.
5 Indoor Garden

Creating a private indoor garden private only to a small group is the ultimate relaxing spot in Minecraft, adding a plethora of flowers, trees, chairs, and a fountain.
The key to giving a garden a more serene feel is avoiding torches and sticking to other alternative light sources. Having a pond with Axolotls will add life and movement to the garden. For players with an underground base, consider creating an underground garden with a fake blue sky. With a group of friends and a haste beacon, clearing an area underground for the garden should not take too long.
4 Nether Hub

The Nether has received lots of attention from Mojang and has several useful resources players will always need. Traveling to the Nether is uncommon within a Minecraft group, especially if players live thousands of blocks apart. Having a Nether hub established at the center of the Nether will connect all player portals and make it easier to travel back and forth.
Since one block in the Nether is eight blocks in the overworld, creating tunnels that branch off from the Nether hub is an excellent way to connect a group and allow faster trade between friends.
Aside from being grand, Nether hubs must have four exits for North, South, East, and West.
3 Statues

Statues are an easy way to add color and intrigue to where they are built. Statue ideas are limitless and can range from a Minecraft skin, and replica statues from real life to video game-inspired statues such as a giant Pikachu.
The ideal place to build statues is in the vicinity of bases or the sky, preferably in the shape of a dragon or the Enderdragon. Creating several little sculptures is a form of base decorating that is underappreciated, even if large statues tend to attract more attention.
2 Japanese Pagoda

Pagodas are visually striking despite the blocky nature of Minecraft. Pagodas stand tall and can be observed and admired from a large distance. Adding lights on the outside of a pagoda is essential as they become awe-inspiring at night as a shining beacon in the dark sky.
The color palette of a Japanese pagoda is unique to the regular blocks used in Minecraft, which serves to make the pagoda stand out more. The best spot for this build is a few blocks from the main base area as it is best admired from a distance, especially at night.
1 Graveyard

While graveyards are not that hard to build, the secret lies in maintaining them. Keeping a death tally on friends is a fun way to poke fun at friends prone to dying often in Minecraft. Giving each player a dedicated tombstone with a sign to indicate their total deaths will make strolling through the graveyard an interesting experience.
Adding a small church within the graveyard will prevent it from appearing flat. In addition, pets can be honored in the cemetery next to their owners' graves.
Minecraft is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
