An underwater rail system in Minecraft is a convenient mode of transport. Players can speed up their underwater expeditions and reduce travel time. The use of a powered rail will be necessary for speed in this build. Powered rails can be activated and used using Redstone torches. An underwater rail system will save players a lot of time when exploring underwater biomes.

4) Submarine

A submarine would be an ideal underwater build in Minecraft. If creating a rail system is something players aren't keen on, this takes the cake as the ultimate mode of transport underwater. A submarine is relatively easy to build and doesn't take much investment in terms of time as well.

This type of base makes it appear as though the player is on the surface while being submerged underwater. It makes for a great base design with esthetics that suit a swamp biome. That being said, any biome with a shallow body of water is suitable for the build.

2) Underwater glass dome

Players looking to build their own rendition of Atlantis can opt for a underwater glass dome build at the ocean bed. Glowstone or sea pickles can be used for lighting up the base and its surroundings so that hostile mobs do not spawn. Glass will be a major resource used here. The transparent nature of glass will allow the player to look around and enjoy the serendipity of the ocean from within their base.

1) Ruined Ancient Pyramid

This is one of the most unique underwater builds out there. It involves using design principles of a desert pyramid underwater. The peak of the base can be made with an opening at the highest point. The sides can have stairways running down them to mimic the levels of a desert pyramid, and glass can be used to create transparent walls across the base.
