When building a shelter, you need to be seriously thinking about all your options and some of the things that can go on in your current game mode.
1. There is always a plan B when making a house. Plan B's are essential to luxury and survival in the vast and endless wilderness we all know and love as minecraft. An escape hatch that can be blocked by a falling block of some kind like sand or gravel would be suitable if a creeper comes searching for you to explode. Have it stretch on for a while and make sure that you know where you are going for sure. You can have it let out underground to another secret lair, and if you know there might be monsters chasing after, build another escape hatch or a bed to rid yourself of the troubles of night time. Just make sure that you can escape after a chase - losing valuable resources is not a very fun thing to do.
2. High or Low is something you should always put into consideration when building a house. Valleys are ideal if you like building homes onto the mountainside, but unfortunately, it makes things easier for you enemies. Mountains are all fine and good until a monster of some kind sneaks up on you and you are unable to see it coming, so that is probably not a good idea either. Some place in between those two would be ideal for your current situation. And if you are in a rare snowy biome, don't hang around too long messing with snow golems - just move on and go frolicing later.
3. Water and other resources are kind of important for getting by in minecraft - mainly because trees and wood are you best materials to start with. Actually, a forest surrounding you and a small island of some kind might be a good idea to start off with. Over time, gradually remove the trees so that you can see your enemies without having to build a wall and block the way to other resources inefficiently. Water is also your main resource and is essential for building potions and keeping more water for yourself and others in your world. If you are far from water, bring it to you and make a lake, then use only the corners to fill your bucket (corners have an infinite store of water for some reason - they never get empty)
And that's all there is to it! Just use these simple and easy steps to understanding the way to choose a location for your base and you will be prepared, happy, and safe in the world of Minecraft.
