This one works rather well:

Firstly, head to the tree of life. Once you get there, collect as many trees as possible. Then, move to the cliffs, and collect lots and lots of dirt. An immense amount. Use a bucket to make it all into mud, and while you wait for water to respawn, you can kill some code for a food source while you build. Use the mud to create a ton of mud wells, and dot them around sparsely in a large-ish area. Once that is done, make a ton of wooden buildings, and an extra two buckets. Don't place the wood buildings yet.

Now, when that is finished, you should have a lot of water in your mud wells. Fill all three buckets, and place and fireproof a load of wooden buildings, to essentially fill the gaps between the wells. This will take a while, which is why you have three buckets instead of one.

You now have a humongous, wooden, dense village by three spawnpoints. What raider doesn't want to watch it turn red? Heck, even I would gleam satisfaction from burning such a vulnerable blob of buildings down (although I would feel terrible afterwards). What happens when acme raider comes with their trusty Bluesteel Ignitor? Absolutely NOTHING. Because as everyone knows, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to burn down a lovely, vulnerable wooden nub village, and finding it's fireproofed. It's even "bomb proof", as the village is so big and there is no significant/expensive buildings to target, so bombing would be easily undone/immensely expensive for the bomber.

My Experience: I've done this multiple times, but most memorable of which was when I took it up a notch, and used it on my arch enemy (well, my second arch enemy).

I decided to play 303 one day, so I joined a server and what do I see? JohnPogi, my number one target, terrorising the peaceful inhabbitants of the server, and filling chat with profanity and dirty messages. Knowing I wouldn't be able to beat them as I did last time, I went for plan B. Troll the living daylights out of them.

Firstly, I power-levelled architecture to quickly storm to level 4. I made 4 quarries, and got a ton of wheat. Firstly, I made a batch of wells and some stone huts, and quickly fireproofed. I killed a cow with a battle club and cooked the beef, and that lasted me a while. I made the next batch of buildings, and at that point I noticed my architecture had well exceeded 7. I made a lighthouse and two medieval houses, along with some statues, and made an advertisement for my new holiday resort: NoBanana has created NoBananaville! A peaceful, beautiful town with plenty of water, food, and housing for all! This was soon followed up with: NoBanana will also provide johnpogi-proof housing for all residents!

Initially the intake was low, but as john burnt down more and more settlements, the resident income was staggering. I had been raided before, and we all hid inside medieval houses until they got bored. Soon, I couldn't build medieval houses fast enough, and as John had effectively laid siege on us (if we left the area, we would be spotted and sniped with their crossbow), I ran out of wheat and houses had to be shared.

Soon enough, John decided to pull off the second raid. We noticed in advance, and the only deaths was from those who attempted to face john. However, they had a dirty trick up their sleeve. I watched their nametag climb onto the house, and they were still for a moment. I assumed they were just typing yet another dirty message relating to us being cowards, but to my surprise, their ugly face appeared in the ceiling of the house! The rule breaking cheat had seatglitched through the roof!

This took us all by surprise, and we were all eliminated before we could get video evidence. Knowing this was a bannable offence, I quickly had the majority of the town evacuate while I stage one last raid.

Due to a mixture of provoking and yet more village adverts, they came yet again to the town of NoBananaville. I, and the stubborn people who refused to leave, opposed him. Two of us ran into our respective housing, and one fought them for a while, and was quickly eliminated. He broke into the first house, and killed the person inside. It was only me now. As they approached, I hit F12, and caught them breaking the rules on camera. By the time I had figured out how to upload the content somewhere where an admin could find it, they had gotten bored and left. Strange world we live in.

Yay for implanting stories into tutorials! :D
