This week on Hermitcraft: JOE: If I could change or add or delete anything
in Minecraft. Anybody who plays YouTube Minecraft for a living got health insurance through
Microsoft, 'cause it's killing me at $800 a month. >> Welcome to the Hermitcraft Recap! My name is Pixlriffs, our writer is SloyXP,
captions on this video were provided by Lyarrah. And with charity events and short breaks all
wrapped up, it’s safe to say that the server is close to running at full capacity
again. Which is great news for us, but possibly bad news for the server hardware. After all, the farms are farming, the chunks are
loading, and Docm is considering what else he can fire across the server at several times
the speed of sound. And throughout it all, the postal service is still supposed to
work, and the trains need to run on time. So with all that in mind, let’s take a look at all the events and mishaps that occurred
on the Hermitcraft Server this week. Starting with xBCrafted, who revives his "Third Degree" game from Season 9 but takes
on the burden of quizmaster himself, and spends the entire episode roaming the
server asking people these questions three. XB: If you had free reign over Minecraft,
what one thing would you change? DOCM: I would make it mandatory for
any Minecraft player to dupe sand. XB: Alright.
DOCM: I wanna note though that I'm not petty. >> We’re looking forward to the next episode,
where he only speaks in riddles and one of him always lies. But in the meantime, enjoy
discovering everyone’s Minecraft origins, wishlists, and favourite memories
from their time on Hermitcraft. DOCM: Alright.
XB: This isn't legally binding, so you should be a'ight. >> Though Hypnotizd has since expanded the
core memory collection by adding to it that time Etho helped him transport a shulker
only for there to be two shulkers instead. HYPNO: The shulker after a little bit
of testing is now in the mail system. >> Long story short, Hypno’s
been planning a shulker farm, and that got a live box of grumble stuck
in the mail system. Which mind you, is equipped for shulkers, just not of this kind.
The farm he wanted to make will ultimately break with the coming update, so Hypno holds
off on it, and in the meantime sells the offspring of his aggressive box to Etho
for whatever purposes he may want it. HYPNO: Probably when Etho
aggro'd it and it was shooting, it was somehow shot itself and then replicated. >> Working with the hollowed versions,
Xisumavoid finally tames his ever sprawling shulkerbox system. The automated storage takes
hours to build but also hours to setup the multi-item filter boxes. But as a result, X can
navigate his item piles at a glance, and hey, if they add his wall to Etho’s floor, eventually
we can build a full house out of storage system. XISUMA: But I reckon, I probably could have made a couple of episodes with the
time I spent doing all of this. >> In the meantime, Xisuma takes it upon
himself to sort out the server’s community wool supply and introduces Stressmonster
to the Woolves of Wool street initiative. Fellow permit holder Stress is absolutely
taken by the cute stall designs and the team hats Xisuma brings to the table. Along
with a horn of him going Awoo very loudly. JEVIN: Did you sit in your place
and howl like a wolf to make that? STRESS: [laughs]
XISUMA: I did. XISUMA HORN: Awooo... >> We look forward to nine
more textures of that wolf helmet showing up on the server after the update. Stress’s other business initiatives are no
less colourful! Her street of murder mystery townhouses continues despite interruptions by
the mailman, and his opinions about lamp posts. ISKALL: I don't know these things!
I am but a humble mailman. STRESS: Oh.
ISKALL: Apparently this is my job now. >> More of a setback is the curvature
of FalseSymmetry’s custom river, which swings a little too close to Stress’s
front door - but when she calls out False for the funky bend (which sounds like
the next viral TikTok dance to us), False is happy to adjust it, giving Stress room
to install a mailbox further down the line. STRESS: Well, I will pay
'cause I'm not rude, you know? FALSE: No, you would never be rude, Stress.
STRESS: No. [laughs] FALSE: That'd be rude.
STRESS: That would be rude! >> Iskall85 is now hooked up to the mail
system, and seems very keen to communicate with Smallishbeans in particular.
Too bad the service doesn’t have an "out of office" mail redirect just yet.
Consider it a stress-test of the system, mostly to see how stressed Joel is when he returns
to find his postbox stuffed with sweet nothings. ISKALL: How many for 64? Do I get a good price? PEARL: 64? Okay, uh... Did you just buy- oh my gosh, Iskall! ISKALL: Okay, well I'm off! >> Iskall contributes some more buildings to the
mystery street as well, although his real estate ambitions don’t stop there. The apartment
block attached to his factory needs tenants, and so via various wheels and deals he
convinces VintageBeef, Etho, and GeminiTay to move in. Apparently in future there will be
some sort of game involved which could make one lucky resident very rich, but for now the game
just seems to be "collect all the Canadians". ISKALL: Now, you know me and my
track record. We'll be lucky if it's done before I get bored of the season. But, the goal is-
GEM: [scoffs] Iskall! >> At least it’s a less lethal
game than Etho’s Frogger course, into which Iskall invests several diamond
blocks and a good handful of deaths. To properly pay off her mortgage, GeminiTay
will have to start taking advantage of her prime Permits. And Luckily Etho has mailed in
good news about the trident farm he’s making for her. Which may or may not be just him picking
up whatever the Frogger players drop at this rate. To make sure everyone knows where to get their
dessert forks, Gem raises a towering statue of a redhead figure wielding a trident. Which is
also where she’ll be selling the things out of. Quite fitting her maritime self
would be paying tribute to Poseidon, and also I can’t wait for Hades 2. GEM: Oh and it looks so good from a distance. I love the angle of the trident. You can
totally see what this is meant to be. >> Meanwhile, Welsknight - being
his own landlord - steals bricks from his own shop to decorate the kitchen. WELS: Yeah, we're just gonna
take a couple stacks from there. >> The castle’s basement level is interesting, in that the prison dungeon Wels builds
shares a wall with the staff kitchen. But also the logistical hilarity here is
that the jail cells all have individual pooping holes in the ground, which happen to be
the only pooping holes within the whole castle. Yeah yeah chamberpots or whatever, but it’s funny
that the jail cells are technically en-suite. After an assassination attempt by Big Salmonella,
Docm77 has decided that the swamp is his castle, and that he’s staying out there
permanently - perhaps to escape the responsibility of firing
back at Welsknight’s diss track. Ultimately, home is where the storage
system is, and Doc needs big storage. Mashing together several modules tailor-made
by the technical community, Doc demonstrates how the system works, and how Litematica can show
him the setup for each multi-item storage chest. He also has plans for even more boat-warping
shenanigans, but is concerned people building out in his direction might interrupt that. At
least he’s getting sand from the wood shop as intended. Now if only the other woodsmen
would follow through with the aesthetic. DOCM: Looks like somebody moved in!
Is Joe living here now? [laughs] What?
Guys, it's working, we're selling sand. We have like,
I don't know, four double chests of sand here. >> Let’s at least give Skizzleman
time to mourn not one but two horses, as a streak of bad luck leads to the demise of
both his original mount and his replacement. SKIZZ: Who just did that?
Who just killed Gluestick? I had a screen up over top of
it 'cause I was configuring. >> If only he could ride a sturdier
steed - like one of the Ravagers that turns up after he accidentally
triggers the raid of magic mountain; but at least Gem and Grian are there
to "help". In massive inverted commas. SKIZZ: Well that was fun, wasn't it? What a
fun little uh, chunk of madness that I caused. >> The animal-wrangling goes a little
better for the third layer of his pyramid, as he recruits an enthusiastic Zedaph for a
masterclass in dangling. Between the two of them, they successfully glide two foxes back from the
distant taiga to Skizz’s pyramid base, which - by the time that visitors reach level three -
will somehow convince them why they need foxes. ZEDAPH: Oh no! Oh!
SKIZZ: Ooo! Woo! Yes!! ZEDAPH: Oh! Oh, I scared myself. >> Not filled up on his acrobatics,
Zedaph develops a way for him to also be airdropped randomly around his base.
After some creative single-player finagling, Zed comes up with a slime block
boot that kicks him across the ravine he calls home - a system that nicely
compliments his piston extender elevators, when it actually bothers to work,
server latency being what it is. ZEDAPH: Ah- What- what on earth,
you Kicky Sticky stupid thing! Mmkay, well the Kicky Sticky might
not be perfect, but I still love it. And if there's nobody else online, I can be
jumping around my base all over the place. Cubfan135 offers a more reliable way of causing
lasting damage, given you mistake his product for the flying fireworks. Now that the limited edition
eclipse fireworks line has been well, sunset, Cub switches to the door to door tactic, and offers
customised explosives, at least to Scar for now. CUBFAN: Okay! Alright! They're
being added! They're being added. SCAR: Yes.
CUBFAN: Here, I'll give you- I'll give you the rest of these here. >> But a new partnership opens up for him
installing the printing press auto-crafters for whatever shop Beef decides to create
based on his written book Permit. Maybe there’s future in firework advertisement
being printed on the inside covers. CUBFAN: We could put in the Statues book, 'cause
people- people forget that all the time, man. BEEF: You're right! You're absolutely right-
We could- We could write our own books. CUBFAN: Yes! Exactly. We could hire
people- like, Joe? Joe's a poet. >> As long as the book press does fine print,
because that’s what VintageBeef specialises in. He galaxy-brains his Mission Possible quest by
accidentally-on-purpose throwing Iskall one too many diamond blocks as they seal the deal on the
apartment, and, well, the result is glorious. ISKALL: 42?
BEEF: Oh, I gave you 42. Can I- can I get one back and I
can give you this stick in return? ISKALL: Okay. Thank you for the stick. BEEF: Ah, thank you. I just completed
my mission as well; Mission Possible: start with a stick and trade your way up
for a diamond block using as many Hermits as you need to achieve your- [laughs]
ISKALL: [laughs] No way! BEEF: Yes, sir!
ISKALL: That's not- That's- BEEF: [laughs]
ISKALL: That is next level. >> He also adds a little sneaky fine print
into the written book he sends back with the shulker shells Etho requested, but given
Etho’s track record with hidden conditions, we’ll see if that turns out in Beef’s favour. BEEF: "By accepting these shulker shells, your lifetime supply of shulker boxes
has now been revoked. Love you!" Okay. >> At least the farm life doesn’t hold any
unpleasant surprises, as Beef moves some horses into his finished stable, and installs a nether
wart field into his collection of crop farms. It’s certainly an easier time than BdoubleO has
trying to make a flower and grass farm with Etho observing him. The fern farm is blissfully
quiet by comparison - but to truly achieve the peace he wants, Bdubs wants control
over every view from his hillside cottage. And with eyes this big, who could blame him? BDUBS: "It's yours now. Thanks, Etho." Etho made this?! He was over here doing my lesson! I like this special guy. >> He sets out to craft a custom forest
in which every blade of grass was placed by hand. Tall trees, secluded paths, and
a custom-built waterfall come together, and he invites people to
see the wood for the trees. BDUBS: 'Course along rivers, lots of um-
stones and stuff that gets washed up. >> The end goal is to bring
even more life to the forest, although he has mixed feelings
about moving the rabbits in. BDUBS: You're currently watching
my- my showcase, alright? This is a showcase to Mojang to say, hey,
you made bunny rabbits. But, they suck. >> The financial landscape of the
server is also about to change forever, now that TangoTek has finished and
activated his home base redstone factory. Even if the main shop is far from ready for
customers, the people are already lining up to marvel at his explanation of binary encoding.
Some of these words sure made sense to someone, but the short of it is: the
walls make comparators appear. [group laughs]
BDUBS: But stop what you're doing. TANGO: But stop what you're doing- ETHO: Please explain it
clearly though, as- as you do. TANGO: Yeah...
BDUBS: Yeah. >> FalseSymmetry only builds one tree, and
it’s done a great job keeping what’s left of the ancient tower standing in place.
The general vibe of the build is distinct enough to expect a chest up top that
teleports you to Leindell. Though False puts her nether portal into the thing,
so more like teleports you to Caelid. At least she’s cautious enough that it
doesn’t warp you into the heart of the postal system. Because the post office has
been profitable on the occasions where the Hermits haven’t unwittingly broken it, and
when PearlescentMoon has no fires to put out, she can concentrate on base building instead!
Pearl adds some more visible solar panels to her solarpunk farmhouse before adding a
terrace with some organically grown chorus plants. A more industrial farm will likely
pop up somewhere else, but in the meantime, she needs somewhere to sell it. And between
herself and Scar, the cat lovers’ shared brain manifested the Cat Bus. Because,
of course, it’s mostly selling purpur. BDUBS: It's a cranky cat!
PEARL: He- he is a little bit cranky, 'cause he's just been stuck on top of that roof. And finally there’s Mumbo, who finds
himself suffering from success. Because when your shops are this good,
how are you supposed to do anything else?
With art software, of course! Mumbo sketches
up another build for his custom cliff - a run-down electronics store by the name
of "Big Rons", which is possibly the only shop on the server to have a business
card before it has an actual business. MUMBO: Here it is. Big Rons. I've had a really funny idea,
and I'm not sure it'll work. So the idea is, is that the box is
meant to be facing the other way around. >> The shop comes together
splendidly based on the concept art, and it’s a good thing Pearl introduces him
to his new post box around the same time, because Big Rons seems to perfectly match the
era of a system that announces "you’ve got mail". At least the mail service is backed by the
government; Big Rons isn’t backed by anything. MUMBO: I mean there's literally
only two sides of a build. And that's because there's going to be
another build attached to the side of it. I'll be working on that soon. >> And that’s about it for this week’s Recap! Our writer is SloyXP and my name is Pixlriffs.
