GroundZero's Base Protection
Protect your base. Maintain your supplies. Survive longer.
GroundZero's Base Protection introduces a survival-focused base maintenance and protection system inspired by Rust's Tool Cupboard mechanics, redesigned for Minecraft.
Build an Upkeep Storage, claim an area and maintain your base using everyday building materials. The bigger your base becomes, the more resources you'll need to keep it maintained!
