Replace wooden doors with iron doors Hard or Hardcore mode. In either one of these settings, zombies can break down wooden doors.
Light up the area around your house. Hostile mobs like creepers, zombies, and skeletons can't spawn somewhere where it is too bright.
Build some walls around your house. Make them three high with a one block over-hang so that spiders can't get over.
Put a moat of water around your house. Make the water flows away from your house to push away enemies. Dig the moat at least 3 blocks deep to trap mobs in there.
Have a watchtower to spot mobs from in your shelter. You can also create rooftop so you can snipe the mobs from above with a bow and arrows.
Have a bunker under your house to go to if your house is invaded. Keep it stocked with armor, weapons and food.
Always have a second way out of your house: preferably underground. If you are building an underground escape route, make sure it's properly lit with torches.
If you're good with redstone, hook up a trapdoor bridge over your moat.
If you're really serious about defending your shelter consider putting in some flood gates to flush out Endermen who teleport into your base.
If you can, keep some cats. Creepers are afraid of cats and this will keep them away. Keep some dogs, too, so you can kill off any mob who manages to enter your house faster.
Put a one-block-wide moat of lava around your house. You'll be able to easily jump over the moat if it's only one block wide, but mobs will just fall in, because they keep walking towards your house. For extra security, you could put this moat a little closer to your house than your water moat, in case any mobs succeeded in getting past the first one.
Don't leave windows open. If you have any windows in your house, fill them with glass so skeleton arrows don't come through.
Remember the golden rule of PVP (player vs player). If you don't have the advantage, run! If your house is invaded, don't go up against them with a wooden sword and half hunger.
