This week on Hermitcraft... CROWD: Mumbo do the intro! Mumbo do the intro! MUMBO: Uh...
oh, oh, um, uh, um, and, uh, uh, oh! Hermitcraft Season 10! >> Welcome to the Hermitcraft Recap! My name is Pixlriffs, our writer is SloyXP,
captions on this video were provided by Lyarrah. And with season 10 of Hermitcraft
starting, we’re once again here to tell you all about it! But before we can
do that, we have to tell you about us. If this is your first time on our channel: each week we provide a light-hearted summary
of the latest happenings on Hermitcraft, usually covering 7 days from Friday to Friday,
and typically uploading on Sunday because it takes time to write a script and edit it
all together. So every weekend, you can expect a team of enthusiastic fans explaining
what the heck all this Minecraft is about. GRIAN: You get a- you get a taste of everything. >> If this is not your first time
on our channel... same! We’ve been doing this since Season 4, and you could
argue that we’ve gotten better at it, but we’d probably be the ones arguing against you. MOVIE: I'm... ancient now. >> To introduce the team: I’m Pixlriffs, the
voiceover guy and co-writer of the script. Our head writer, video editor,
and executive producer is Zloyxp! And Lyarrah is the captioneer who provides
quality hand-crafted subtitles each week. Each of us has our own channels both here
on YouTube, and on Twitch, if you want to find us playing our own weird brands of
Minecraft and occasionally other stuff too. But none of us are officially affiliated with Hermitcraft
- this is a show by fans, for fans - despite that one time I ended up on the server and
performed the recap live from a coffee shop. CLEO: [cheers]
XB: Hiss. Boo. SAUSAGE: Yaaay! Here, have some coffee! >> It’s been a wild ride. But not nearly as wild as
the one we’re about to go on, so let’s get into what
Season 10 of Hermitcraft is all about. [VCR sounds] Webster’s Dictionary defines Hermitcraft as a
collection of friends who play Minecraft together and make videos about that. And despite all the
iconic stuff they’ve done over the years, the group itself is really the essence of the server.
So what’s gonna be different about this season? Well, for one, the server is running experimental
features of Minecraft 1.21, so for the first time in history, the players have access to automated
crafting and the expanded copper and tuff block palette. One thing we know for certain is
they’ve blocked Trial Chambers from generating, because they’re still under construction
before the 1.21 update actually releases. For another thing, they’re kicking off this world
with a pseudo-hardcore game which will look kinda familiar to anyone who’s watched the "-Life"
suffix series or the "Demise" game from Season 6! Basically it’s all fun and games until you die
- but once you respawn, your name turns red, and you become a "Reaper" whose job it is to off one
of the people who hasn’t died yet, with the only condition that it’s got to be more creative than
just swinging a sword at them until they perish. GRIAN: Very big important mystery gift - that we
all know - but the audience won't know till later, and I think everyone desperately wants the prize. >> So half the server has already plotted to kill
the other half, and expect more mayhem t o follow. JOEL: [...] where I have reached 2000+
days of hardcore Minecraft. However, that's single player, where
no one's trying to kill me. >> The final thing we need to address is the two
new additions to the cast! Joining the server for the first time in Season 10 is Skizzleman, whom
you may know from the Life series or his frequent collabs with ImpulseSV; and technically not
joining for the first time but at least becoming a permanent Hermit now is Smallishbeans,
who you’ll hear most people calling Joel because that’s his name and it’s easier to say.
What havoc will these two newcomers inflict on the server? What trials will the veteran
Hermits put them through? Let’s find out as we look at all the events and mishaps that
occurred on Day One of Hermitcraft Season 10. SKIZZ: You guys are amazing.
RENDOG: Alright Skizz. Bye~ SKIZZ: See you guys.
RENDOG: Bye. >> Upon logging in, Rendog notices a distinct lack
of anything in anyone’s inventories. Thankfully, he comes prepared with a solution:
if they split up into teams to watch each other’s backs, and return to
spawn after a long bit of caving, there will be plenty of spoils for everyone!
All the precious resources - and even some of the interesting blocks - can be divided into
chests where everyone gets an equal share. So having attempted to be a monarch last
season, Ren begins this season with communism. STRESS: Yeah, that's what I say.
RENDOG: Listen, I worked pretty hard to organize this little
event, and it all went Pete Tong- HYPNO: Hello!
RENDOG: It- it all went horribly wrong. MUMBO: Oh, there he is.
ISKALL: It went perfect. >> The gang splits into a set of
pre-arranged voice chats and complies. Except for Zedaph, who is not in any
team for the most bizarre reason: You see, having dedicated his last
season to the varied and hilarious accomplishments one can do in Minecraft,
Zed decides to gamify his season 10, and starts out with his whole
hotbar "locked" and unusable. ZEDAPH: I can't put this crafting bench
down. Uh, heh, I can't hold it to place it! >> He can buy out hotbar
slots by sacrificing diamonds, but those are pretty hard to come by when you
can’t even swing a pickaxe. Luckily for him, his off-hand slot is neither hot nor bar, so
he can eventually trick some creepers into blowing up enough materials for him to make
a flint and steel and use that as a weapon. ZEDAPH: Oh, there's double
diamonds! I didn't even realize! [Creeper explodes]
ZEDAPH: No! >> And just for the record:
nothing is making him do this, by the way. Those padlocks are just retextured
sticks, the rules are self-imposed entirely. He’s just like this. And we love him for it. KERALIS: Can you put on stuff
on your face? 'Cause there's a beautiful iron face I've got over here.
ZEDAPH: Oh, yeah, my face is free. >> Thankfully, by the end of the video,
he manages to free up at least a couple slots and is no longer completely
handcuffed. Funny as it would be, I don’t think he can play this season
with right hand tied behind his back. ZEDAPH: Bam-bam! We have
just unlocked hot bar slots- >> Team False, Jevin, BdoubleO and Etho briefly
become pirates as they board boats and sail up to Grian and crew, but their prospects are much more
bountiful in the mines, so prospecting they go. FALSE: Are you jumping?
ETHO: Oh no. JEVIN: Leeroy Jenkins! BDUBS: No?
FALSE: In before they fixed that in the update. [laughs] [explosion]
JEVIN: Everything's fine. FALSE: Are we not concerned about
the explosion that we just heard? >> After all, any loot pillaged would
be returned to the people equally, by decree of the socialist digging company.
Of course, they’ve gotta return from the mines intact, so it’s understandable that this is the
moment Etho becomes an evangelist for shields, and Bdubs spends half the time procrastinating
and taming horses for Etho to get jealous over. ETHO: Oh my goodness!
DOCM: What? BDUBS: [triumphant laughter]
ETHO: He's got the best color too, with the white- the white paws.
I love that one. BDUBS: Oh, and it's so fast and jumps so high!
ETHO: Oh my goodness. Dude, you've gotta be kidding
me, that's the fastest one ever! >> Once he’s got a modest
amount of equipment, though, Etho is keen to do some solo mining with
Fortune, the better to acquire some blocks for his build palette! A combination of
colourful copper and warm wood types comes together for an Asian-inspired build
which is, in PearlescentMoon’s words: PEARL: Exterior! Since when
does Etho build exteriors?! >> iJevin in the meantime butters up the
audience by telling us all about his plans for the upcoming season. The short version
is he wants to live in an enchanted forest, so he’ll have to build one, since the existing
woods won’t fit on the enchanting table. JEVIN: This enchanted forest, I have some very cool ideas for. It's going
to be like nothing I've ever built before. >> To start this future build strong, Jevin
kicks off the season with a whimsical rustic medieval fantasy home, that it took him
overall nine hours to research and plan. JEVIN: I've done about three hours of research,
and I have about six hours of Creative building, so I'm about nine hours deep
in just the first build alone? >> That’s right, Etho, while you were out partying
with the Hermits, Jevin was studying the blocks! We joke but maybe he really
should have studied the blade: the cave skeleton army gets him
to a Reaper state rather quickly. JEVIN: I was really hoping to win
Demise, but you know what, it happens. >> Etho’s social ways bring him into a
historic collab with Geminitay - because, you see, they do archaeology together. ETHO: You got an egg?
GEM: Etho, it's an egg! Yeah! ETHO: Nice, nice, nice, nice.
GEM: Heck yeah! >> Armed with the brushes the two of them sail
off to dust the ocean floor in search of the extinct species of the sniffer. It’s surprisingly
wholesome until you realise they’re both Canadian, and from that point on it’s shocking
how much they’re razzing each other. ETHO: We're gonna have a great time.
GEM: We are gonna have a great time. I'm glad that you're feeling so positive about this situation.
ETHO: You wanna boat off the cliff here? >> But this good-natured mockery eventually
leads them to their treasure. Though the first opportunity he gets, Etho starts
off the artifact black market, and turns out the going rate for a sniffer
egg is three poisonous potatoes somehow. ETHO: I have a gift for you as well, Gem.
GEM: Okay. 😑 ETHO: [laughs]
GEM: Our friendship is really tough to maintain, Etho. >> Well, if nautical nonsense be something
ya wish, Gem is right at your service with her starter house tugboat, plucked
right of the Dredge videogame. It’s only cute because she doesn’t yet
have the blocks to build The Horrors. GEM: Early game fishin' for saddles.
[Among Us intro] GEM: Just being able to relax,
see all my friends going around. This is nice. >> Thematically adjacent, Keralis decides to
live on a boat as well. His one is even more Spongebob style, as it’s sitting there
on the shore on stilts for some reason. KERALIS: Good? Bad? Ugly?
Like, I've never lived on a boat, not even like on a story-based scenario, at least. >> This is not cute, the boat is actually stressed,
yachts need saltwater to survive! After the way his internet connection
treated the mining session, Keralis feels he deserves a vacation. So
his theme for the foreseeable future is very summery and tropical, complete
with palm trees in the background. Cut sandstone into pieces,
this is his last resort. [🎶GTA: Vice City - Mission Passed] >> Keralis’s connection issues were not the
only disruption to his mining crew - at one point xBCrafted has to hold the fort
himself while Joe is away on an errand and Xisuma is doing server admin stuff.
But eventually the team comes together, a group identity probably helped by
xB providing them with a uniform. XB: Have a hat.
JOE: So this is a hole- Thanks. XISUMA: Oh. That type of hat.
This is our crew now. >> By the end of the session, that sense of party
unity overcomes the trepidation of venturing into the Deep Dark looking for more precious resources.
But don’t be fooled, that’s not the Warden, that’s Joe Hills! In a new Minecraft skin
that is much more muppety than the last. And we also have to give Joe props for putting
a ton of creativity into his video editing, bringing back childhood memories of Saturday
morning cartoons, and providing a handy graphic for us to remember who was on which team
during the collab caving session. Because when Xisuma gets frightened, you’d be forgiven
for thinking a monkey had broken into the studio. XISUMA: Oh! [alarmed hooting]
XB: You good? KERALIS: [mimics noises]
XB: You're gonna have to make a new Xisuma sound compilation.
KERALIS: 🎵 Oo-oo, ah-ah, ooo! >> There’s certainly no shortage of monkeying
around on the other teams, where event organizer Rendog places himself in the distinguished company
of Stressmonster, Hypnotizd, Mumbo, and Iskall85. RENDOG: It is an unwritten rule in
Minecraft, you never fiddle with another player's... mineshaft.
[group snickers] MUMBO: Thank goodness. Thank goodness for
that addition of a certain word in that. >> Ironically - having insisted that
dying during this mining trip means you forfeit any share of the resources
- Rendog is the only one to die, much to the amusement and
frustration of his teammates. STRESS: What happened?!
RENDOG: Nooo! [End Portal noise]
MUMBO: Just as I was- just as- SKIZZ: What? This is- this is his game! TANGO: Doc just straight up laughs, I love it.
[group laughs] >> With Ren relegated to sorting through everyone
else’s gains and being left with nothing himself, he shrugs it off, declares this "episode zero",
and aims to get geared up in the next episode. RENDOG: I mean False, it just- it really
comes down to how much you trust me, right? FALSE: I could log off here and you
wouldn't block it was I was standing on. RENDOG: That is- that is very true. Just because
it's quite late right now and I'm quite old. >> Once they’re done giggling,
Stressmonster and Iskall split off to set up a skeleton spawner which
Iskall deems a "glorious Hermitcreation"- ISKALL: [shouting]
STRESS: Don't die! >> - and while his voice recovers he experiments with the new tuff blocks to see how
they’ll fit a hillside cave base. ISKALL: I honestly don't- I honestly
have no idea what I've built here. >> Meanwhile Stressmonster tames a horse,
is menaced briefly by a red-named Keralis, KERALIS: Where's my lava buckets.
STRESS: Ah yeah no, don't start. [giggles] >> then proceeds to set up the most aesthetically pleasing early game animal and crop
farms we’ve seen for a long time. With the chaos of community mining left behind, Mumbo settles into his groove over by a
cherry grove hill around which many of the other hermits are building - pausing only to
discover how disturbing salmon head sounds are. [vigorous slapping]
GRIAN: Oh Scar!! >> Gathering up a bunch of deepslate and mangrove, he assembles a mechanical-looking arm from
which his starter base can dangle - and is naturally left with the question of
how the heck he gets inside it now. MUMBO: Look at all these new
titles! I spent sixteen hours on these yesterday. You better like them. Our final team-mining squad is Skizzleman, ZombieCleo,
TangoTek, Docm77, and VintageBeef. Doc shows up later for
reasons we’ll explore in a bit, but the team suspects he may
be in the pocket of Big Salmon. CLEO: I want the salmon.
SKIZZ: I want the salmon. BEEF: I'll take the salmon!
SKIZZ: Yeah, I need to eat. Need a swarm of angry pescatarians coming my way. CLEO: The Salmon Collective.
BEEF: Big Salmon's coming after you. SKIZZ: "Big Salmon"!
[group laughs] >> Beef is one of many to die his first
death after the community mining concludes, so fortunately he gets to walk away with
his fair share of French lapis lazuli, CLEO: The blue stuff. BEEF: Lapis?
SKIZZ: [in French accent] Lapis laz-u-li! SKIZZ: Lapis hon-hon-hon-hon.
[confused laughter] CLEO: Is lapis French now?
BEEF: Is it French? >> But now he’s on the Reaper team,
he might be regretting ditching his old butcher’s apron skin for
the Canadian lumberjack getup. With the corporate fish on their tail,
ZombieCleo books it for the nether, which is to say they craft the statue
book, and then go to the nether. CLEO: I've got- ooo, v2.11,
what's new in the book? >> Once again, the statue book is part of the
datapacks running on the server that allows players to pose and manipulate armorstands -
something Cleo is notoriously proficient at! But to use the pack to its fullest, one also
needs the statue wand - which in actuality is a fishing rod with warped fungi on it.
This means that for the season to truly begin, Cleo needs to scout out one of those
cyan mushrooms. But this expedition, inevitably, is their downfall. Or rather,
their downfall, bubbling noises, fire damage, fire damage, fire damage, ZombieCleo
has discovered the floor is lava. CLEO: [gasps]
No no no no no no no! This is bad, this is bad! Gonna die! Gonna die! [End portal noise]
CLEO: Oh no. >> That’s one more for the Reaper team, but it makes sense a person with such
a name would join the corpse pile. CLEO: And my horse Jason Penderghast.
I don't know why, that's just his name. >> Hermitcraft newcomer Skizzleman
also emerges from the caves alive, despite facing off against an enderman or
two and a lot of near-creeper experiences. First-timers to his channel, feel free to play
a game of "count the perfectly cut-off screams". SKIZZ: [screams]
Ohhh. Mmm! SKIZZ: I don't- [screams]
DOCM: Creepers! SKIZZ: It's Grian's fault!
GROUP: It's Grian's fault! >> Skizz even avoids stepping into an
admittedly obvious trap by Rendog in front of everyone, but having jeered
at Impulse dying, karma catches up to him in the form of Impulse’s fist
and a well-placed cavern entrance. SCAR: Pilfer his chests of all redstone, Skizz.
SKIZZ: Ah! Woohoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! IMPULSE: Oh my gosh, watch out! SKIZZ: Oh nah nah nah nah! No! No!
SCAR: Oh no! [End portal noise]
SKIZZ: Ah! >> Despite this, Skizz settles down
at the base of the cherry mountain, choosing a base location by a giant crag, slapping
the inaugural salmon, and announcing his plans to build a pyramid based on Maslow’s Hierarchy
of Needs. It’s an ambition that comes with a large build plot, although Tango literally pops
up to suggest he doesn’t need that many signs. TANGO: Uh, maybe tone it down a little bit. I think you probably got the point across by now.
SKIZZ: Oh, it's too much, it's too much, isn't it? >> Someone should’ve have given Tango a sign
he’s about to get squished by a falling anvil, but that went belly up unfortunately. [ANVIL DONK]
TANGO: [shouts] TANGO: Okay! Was it Doc?
Oh my- I've never been so scared in my life. >> Tango takes out his
frustrations on the villagerkind, when Impulse and him build an iron
farm together. Because, obviously! It’s good to be back. Once unflattened, though, Tango
starts on his own starter house, and let me tell you, if he gets in the habit
of stepping out every hour to announce time, I wouldn’t be surprised here. Yes, it’s a
classic steampunk cogs and pipes aesthetic, but it does kinda look like a
giant cuckoo clock doesn’t it. TANGO: A cottage converted into
a steampunk thing? Which... eh? This is all- all these trees? This whole
birch forest? Is pretty much all my land, and we are going to build, whiz-bang
ridiculous factory that you've ever seen. >> Fortunately for Tango, Impulse has already
managed to shed his red Reaper name by the time they put together their iron farm. And thanks
to the dawn of automatic crafting, they’re able to shape it directly into blocks instead of
coming back to condense the ingots themselves. IMPULSE: There he goes!
TANGO: It did it! It pooped! It pooped! IMPULSE: I just- It literally just- I saw the- >> And this isn’t the only collab Impulse lays
out in episode one: aside from settling down around the cherry mountain directly between
Skizz and Joel, his major ambition for the series is to team up with BdoubleO to create a
massive Cyberpunk city on a 200x200 build plot. IMPULSE: I also took some time to
mark off where our Cyberpunk city is going to reside. And, yeah, it's a big area. >> PearlescentMoon chooses a different cherry
hilltop as the backdrop for her base area, and once she’s tracked down all the
resources, she timelapses a picturesque ranch house located conveniently close to a
couple of neighbours whom she can bug for a cup of sugar and question whether or not they
booby-trapped her front door with fireworks. PEARL: You almost killed me!
CUBFAN: I didn't take you out though, it didn't take you out.
PEARL: Almost. One heart, mate. One heart. CUBFAN: Ohh, I should've put more fireworks in there, I knew it. >> The other inhabitants of cherry mountain
stick closer home, and slightly to a side, as both Grian and Joel start
houses on the cliffs themselves. Their effort mirror each other perfectly,
as Joel’s starter home is more of a roof, while Grian’s is literally just a floor
for now. It’s episode one after all. Joel’s hesitant to share his exact
plans for the season, but he hints at the general vibe with the glowing red
lines on the signs of his storage stall. JOEL: Then bam, look at this. I think
this looks so cool. It's kinda giving a little hint of what sort of
style I'm going to be going for. >> Grian bounces from team
hangout to team hangout, but eventually finds himself on
the receiving end of a baby zombie. GRIAN: I knew that was going to happen!
Now the prize isn't gonna be mine! >> From then, his primary goal
becomes passing on the reaping, and admittedly dripstone has that
word in it if you say it wrong enough. GRIAN: Ohhh! [excited squeaking]
JOEL: That was close, that was close!
GRIAN: That was so close! >> Alas, the triangle based shenanigans yield no
victims, but he does catch GeminiTay chilling on the common grounds fishing for saddles.
And so the fisher becomes the fishee, as a lucky catch from far above rapidly
reintroduces Gem to the asphalt. GEM: Grian!!
GRIAN: [cheers] >> The rednames aren’t as
kind to GoodTimesWithScar, as his entire inventory evaporates thanks to a
multiblast TNT trap Cubfan135 sets up for him. Cub himself having died to skeletons earlier. SCAR: I knew it was a trap! SCAR: Took my binoculars, zoomed in, which activate-
CUBFAN: No! SCAR: which opened the chest, because I
was holding down the right mouse button. I have no resources and no
build for my first episode! >> Clearly Cubfan got a little
overeager with his demolition, seeing how earlier in the episode he builds
up a perfectly nice oak and stone home, only to tear it back down and rebuild in a
more convenient spot with higher foot traffic. CUBFAN: Pay me one diamond each, I'll leave
you guys alone. For- for now. For now. BDUBS: Alright. And this one's for Scar.
CUBFAN: Alright. >> The mob massacre gets him proper scared
of the dark, and Cub makes it a goal to put together a machine that would craft up logs into
torches all on its own. Good thing autocrafters are here to help, but he’ll still has to
get the logs manually for the time being. CUBFAN: Alright, boom! There goes. Crafting
into wood, the wood is crafting into sticks, and you'll see down here is our
crafter with the torch recipe here. >> The explosion set Scar back on his plans, but
by the end of the video he has recovered enough to deliver a beautiful locomotive, standing for
some reason on stilts, as if its tires got stolen. Scar’s general goal for the season
is to build a zoo to end all zoos, but unlike ZombieCleo a few seasons back,
he will be using actual animals instead of armorstand replicas, so more
like ZombieCleo back in season 2. Though that was a museum, mind you.
This server’s lore is confusing. Point is, Scar is Steve Irwin now.
Down to the miniscule shorts. SCAR: And oh crickey, look at
that beautiful pig over there! >> And finally there’s Docm, who
has come in with one mission: outpace everyone else from the beginning. DOCM: What do you expect? GOAT! >> Doc joins up with the group mining
session, but as soon as they’re done, he returns to a convenient corral of
villagers he prepared earlier and shapes them into a villager trading post that will get
him full enchanted diamond as soon as possible. DOCM: And we also have insane
plans, you know the drill. When a missclick leads to him getting crushed
by an iron golem, he pays it forward to Tango in the form of an anvil dropped in
front of the convenient farmer villager. TANGO: I should have known better
than to trust a redname. [sighs] DOCM: I'm sorry. >> But one excursion to the Nether roof
later, Doc has portaled out to a swamp where he begins his true project: create
a machine capable of autocrafting pistons. DOCM: Now to craft the toggles to a power
level of eight. Why am I- nine. Why am I re-iterating nine nine nine all the time?
Well, because this makes this whole thing work. >> A combination of Ilmango’s cobblestone
generator, a new-school witch farm, a slime spawning cell, an iron farm, and an
allay-powered bamboo field gets him the resources, and a series of auto crafters and hopper arrays
all come together to create a full chest of pistons - not to mention slime blocks, firework
rockets, a handful of other useful components, and another witch / vindicator exploit that grants
him infinite regen while he’s using the farm. DOCM: Right, um, eventually you build
up hunger, and more and more hunger- Can you be quiet in the back when
I'm explaining something? Excuse me. >> Whether Doc’s plan is to corner
the market in redstone immediately, speedrun his way to a perimeter, or
just showcase what can be done… may have to wait until episode 2.
But until then, he can relax in the knowledge that he’s also created
the world’s most unethical trash can. DOCM: We filter out everything, and then you just toss it underground.
You know, they don't destroy it. [flint and steel snaps]
DOCM: Now it works. >> I think this officially makes Doc an evoker,
because I’m pretty sure this is how you get vexes. DOCM: They cannot die, they
are out-regenning fire. >> And that’s about it for this week’s Recap! Our writer is SloyXP and my name is Pixlriffs.
