It sounds a bit improbable.... I'd just make a house out of obsidian, make an outer layer out of cobblestone (leaving a gap between the two layers), and just pour in some lava. Easy! Or even better, do that in conjunction with my skylight plan.
Completely ridiculous, but awesome! So much obsidian that I don't even have!

Well, that proposal is for those players with a lot of obsidian. The obsidian in that 'recipie' could be replaced with cobblestone - I chose obsidian as it is blastproof and takes a while to dig through, so if a player tried to dig their way out whilst in the lava layer, it would take a while.

Here's another plan - make an entrance hall out of chests. Dig down, make an underground house, and make stairs up to the entrance. It's hard to picture, but like this: (the gold shows where the stairs should be, and the wooden planks = chests).

Remember to make a door too. Lock all the chests and doors. This is important. The entrance is now impenetrable. Now, as you go down the stairs (NOTE: these mock-ups were quickly made in Classic, so I can't picture the stairs. But they are supposed to be the stairs that are like

Dig down a bit and place your stairs. Make a room down below. It doesn't matter how big, but preferably small. Then, at the end of the room, make another room. Make it bigger, and sealed off by a locked door. This is your actual house. Feel free to make a 'skylight' in that room, like I discussed earlier.

Now, this is the important part. Make the whole floor of the underground entrance hall stone pressure plates. It is important that they are stone. Wire a select few up to TNT. Make it so that only you know which plates are safe and which ones are wired.

Now, if a trespasser manages to get down there, they will step on the plates and cause an explosion. Make sure the explosion will not destroy the other room - the important one. It is absolutely foolproof. This means that by some sheer chance a griefer gets down there, they will be destroyed. By combining all of my ideas, you can make an impenetrable fortress.

The stairs are integral... Because the stairs are a different height to normal blocks, and if the whole floor is covered with pressure plates, it will look like the room has just a normal stone floor. Having the stairs means that a player cannot judge if the floor is at a different height, as pressure plates make the floor slightly higher.

Thanks.

i can't wait till the pistons and sticky pistons come out, becuase they can be used as floodgates for lava and stuff and also to create secret hallways just like the video demo showed on minecraft forums :D
^^^^^^^^^^^
Video iz here :D
