Welcome to the Hermitcraft Recap, my name

delete whichever is appropriate. At the time of writing we have absolutely
no idea which mob is going to win the yesterday’s vote, but in the meantime it’s a good thing
the Hermitcraft server has innovations that’ll do their jobs for them. DocM will now sell you remote access to inventories
on the other side of the server, BdoubleO already looks like a bush that grumbles
every time it gets dark, And Grian will push all your buttons. But all these are understatements, because
the Hermits continue to push what this game is capable of - both in terms of technical
achievements and building prowess, but also occasionally the players’ sanity. So before reality folds in on itself and we
find ourselves at the mountains of madness, let’s take a look at all the events and
mishaps that occurred on the Hermitcraft server this week. Starting with DocM, who tries to slow down
the pace a little by touring the server on a donkey. Naturally for Doc, though, it’s the fastest
donkey on the server - but he still manages to take in all the sights without them becoming
a blur in his rear view. Yes, donkeys are cars this season and we will
accept no alternative. It was a bit weird when he drove through the
door of the gym though. DOCM: Oh that's so cool, it's like some fitness
studio. Man, she's so good with the, with the armor
stand things. Having rode like the wind, Doc brings the
lightning to the grand opening of Octagon - but we’ll save discussing that for Rendog’s
segment, because nobody brings the hype like Ren. Instead, we’ll talk about the other thing
Doc did this week, because it deserves highlighting, underlining with red pen, and a note from
Mojang that just says, "see us after class". Thanks to a discovery by his friends Fallen_breath
and Pr0cess, Doc has been able to sync items from his inventory with an inventory slot
in a hopper - allowing him to use rockets from a chest in the spawn chunks while keeping
his inventory fully topped up, or ender pearling back to spawn from anywhere on the server. It can also slurp up sand from his inventory
and store it somewhere else, as we see when he goes mining in a desert later. If this sounds absolutely wild that’s because
it is, so we highly recommend watching Doc’s video and the videos from the folks who discovered
it - but in the meantime he pitches it to Mumbo, who immediately agrees that he needs
to sell this technology like a subscription - and we’ll see where it goes from here. DOCM: Like, we up, you know you look into
the hopper, update suppress the looking into the hopper, in short, and then the game thinks
the stack you have and the stack that is there is the same. Right? And then-
MUMBO: I mean that is ridiculous. That... is... um, yeah, I don't, I don't even
know what to- It’s technology XBCrafted could’ve used
when digging out his latest dome and lining it with a ton of iron blocks. Since this is the dome which faces out to
sea, XB sets up a vast hangar with an airlock door, and starts building a submarine dock. Initially he has some concerns about the structure
of the sub itself: XB: It's just not right. It's too thicc. [chuckles] But once he switches from dirt to a more water-tight
material, adds propellers and antenna to the outside, it seems to be much more satisfying. So if you want to like and sub, this is the
place to do it. XB: [giggling, voice squeaking] It's not bad! The local tropical fish seem to agree, although
they might not want to hang around so close to the intake pipes. BdoubleO has some plumbing to appreciate too
- since Bdubs last built it, TangoTek has been busy retrofitting auto-sorters to the
Wood storage building, and even installing an auto wood farm next door. Bdubs’s instinct is to do stone next, and
he eventually tutorials his way through a stone storage building that really starts
to establish an industrial vibe outside of Big Eyes town. BDUBS: A booboo that I did. Well, not that I did, but that I'm going to
do. Inside of the town, though, Bdubs discovers
the cake shop Scar built last week, and in the process of having his cake, he eats it. BDUBS: It's a cute little bakery! "Boom!" what does that mean? [piston noise, creeper hiss]
BDUBS: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Oh no! Stuck in here! Help!
[explosion] At least it’s a good excuse for a change
of headwear and the burning of a few gifts. Mumbo’s volcano, on the other hand, will
bake your potatoes just right. Even if there is now a zombie apparently staffing
the thing. MUMBO: Zomb-eats Potatoes? World War P? The Walking Fed? ...up? with all of these potato based puns? CUB: Oh wow! Potato Volcano! Absolutely magnificent. It was a little bit terrifying, a little bit
dangerous, but uh... SCAR: Oh, that was very enjoyable. I- now, question: was that worth a diamond
when I only have three? But the rumble coming from his mountain base
is of an entirely different sort - having wireframed out the areas he wanted to build,
Mumbo establishes a colourful mountain town in a variety of different shapes and sizes. It’s a beautiful addition to the armchair,
but as the paths and staircases connecting them start to go in, he’s interrupted by
two distractions. The first is DocM defying the laws of physics
by giving him a quantum stack of fireworks and disappearing into thin air. DOC: This is, uh... MUMBO: That feels illegal, Doc! It feels like you're doing illegal things
here. The other is Grian going AFK on top of a tree,
which Mumbo decides to resolve by sending him to space and then sideways a bit. MUMBO: He's off! [laughs] There he is! Grian, the commander of a new private jet,
is off! It could be worse - Grian’s cobblestone
box could’ve been a gravestone for Mumbo, since he’s already made one for another
member of the Boatem family. PearlescentMoon has been decorating the area
for Halloween, and Impulse and Scar make such an impact on the landscape that they may as
well be decorated too. PEARL: Y-your, your-
SCAR: Oh, that's great. PEARL: I gotta admit, your hat- head looks
a little bit naked without your hat though. SCAR: [snort-laughs] I look hideous, divert
your eyes! PEARL: You do- The landscape is looking different every time
people come to buy Boatem, which is why the tourist map she adds should be helpful. Pearl’s own contributions to the local Geography
are definitely worth a visit, as she connects her mountain to Scar’s, and shapes it around
Cub’s neighbouring dripstone canyon. And when your neighbour is Cubfan, a friendly
game of spleef is rarely far behind. CUB: Oop! Yep! PEARL: [cheers] Oh yeah, there we go, whoop! CUB: Well done, well done! While Boatem continues to shape itself, one
duo had their shape figured out from the beginning. Octagon’s grand opening was always going
to be flashy, what with the giant antenna and Rendog staying up all night to craft fireworks
- but when Doc wires the whole thing up to a lightning rod, you know things are gonna
get loud. [Dramatic music, thunder]
REN: Doc this isn't good enough! We have potential customers here man! Oh there we go! [Many people gasping/shouting in awe] The grand opening is indeed grand, and the
fact that they gave out coupons for their first customers barely matters when they were
selling stock before they were even open. The red carpet rolls out, and the profits
roll in. REN: Doctor. M. Seventy-seven. What an insane grand opening that was dude! DOC: Yes! This just happened! TFC finds a different kind of red carpet waiting
for him when he next visits Boatem. TFC: I'm pretty sure I saw some- Hello? That's not exactly my favorite kind of- He’s there to hunt down slime balls, but
the G Train has the redstone components he was looking for after all. He wanted to arrange some sticky pistons under
his tree farm to raise or remove a wall and allow the water to flow through the farm. Unfortunately his redstone skills are a little
rusty, but if TFC is known for anything, it’s perseverance. TFC: We know the title of this one: Redstone
Fail! [chuckles] If Impulse is known for anything, it’s Big
Eye Rons. Wait a minute… Despite competitors advertising outside the
walls, Impulse’s factory is still coming along in leaps, bounds, and occasional mooing
noises. The brown mooshrooms are the latest contribution
to the candy room, which he’s still plugging the dark spots in, and yet you cowards didn’t
vote for the Glare! And here’s another take for you: So it’s
a good thing everyone voted for the Glare! We- we still don't know. Ordering some more trees from GeminiTay will
probably help too - and maybe Impulse can collect them himself now he has a fleet of
delivery trucks at his disposal! Overshadowing the Swaggon rickshaw parked
in the neighbouring bays, the iDimpy delivery trucks even stop at his candy shop, which
now has a thematically appropriate humbug striped roof. IMPULSE: It looks pretty good! I, I waxed everything so it's not gonna change
any more- uh, ok, well I lied, there's some blocks that still need to turn. Gem gets to build a much more traditional
canopie too, at Keralises’ place, because a man is not an island. His base however is. And this week Keralis transforms this island
into a luxury resort for himself, and whoever will fit into the guest houses, the garage
and the speedboat. Plus the Grian in the attic, of course. This explosion of building took 12 hours of
dedicated work, interspersed with mild trolling of an AFK Grian and a spleef round. KERALIS: 🎶 Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 🎶
Was it worth it? Yes! I, I love it. I love it a lot. Here’s hoping he can pay for it, now that
the Derpcoin gambling became a fun drain on his wallet. XISUMA: Ohhh no no no no, your luck's turning
around! [claps] KERALIS: This isn't even my diamonds, I could
just be spending them all day! Ready to welcome guests as well, Cubfan135
makes it a point to add a hidden horse stables to the canyon road, prompted by some sentient
foliage that drove by. CUB: This is an inspired build. Except uh-
BDUBS: It is?! CUB: Yeah! Yeah yeah, check it out. Remember last time that you came here, you
said that you didn't have a, a place to tie up your horse? BDUBS: Yes?! [gasps]
CUB: Well, well, we got a little stable set up down here. [laughs] But the canyon itself is more likely to come
over for a dinner, now that Cub has converted a big area around it into a orange concrete
desert, and started to encroach on the nearby woods. That’s not to mention the secret speed tunnel
to the Boatem town we didn’t talk about last week, because hey - SECRET! But now that he let BdoubleO use it too, guess
the cat’s out of the bag. It’s a speedy way of getting on the Boatem
land, to get on Boatem nerves. In short, don’t ask for whom the bell tolls,
it’s Bdubs’s horse. [bell chimes; pillager death noise]
CUB: There we go, cool. Yeah that's uh, sort of like a double feature
there. See that water, obviously it- [bell chimes]
yeah, activates the bell, so... On the topic of biome expansion, FalseSymmetry
throws her base into the spooky zone, now that it’s officially the fun half of October. Though adding the deformed petrified trees
and inhabited giant tree stumps turns out to have many more layers to it, after she
announces that she’ll go as Shrek for Halloween. FALSE: Although, very terrifying. Not gonna lie. Pretty... pretty terrifying. But I may or may not be an ogre. Things quickly take the turn for the meme-y,
as False makes the tree stump hill film-accurate. And look, we’re not opposed to having an
outhouse as part of your Minecraft base, but it probably shouldn’t be the entrance, and
it especially shouldn’t be a drop entrance! So that’s for interior Shrek-orating, now
how about some outer detail. Well, we see ZombieCleo apply the miniature
block windowsills - as per their agreement with Joe Hills - and she runs us through the
very convoluted castle yards that’s been plaguing her for quite a while now. CLEO: This area is gonna get a bit laggy very
quickly. Actually, it's probably not, it's probably
okay. JOE: Well that's fine. Just so happens that when the thing was built,
people weren’t much concerned with anyone trying to recreate it in Minecraft. Luckily, we can just call this "negative space",
and turns out one can do plenty with it when armed with an armor stand book! CLEO: Its- comes out there, swirls around
here, goes underneath, goes around and swirls around these little courtyard bits. And then it comes back out here and it swirls
around once again! It's been... a job. It's been a job. If you've been wondering where the video's
been- No stranger to medieval arts, Zedaph takes
up alchemy. Having already made a patently insane potion
brewer last season, Zed realises it could be improved by just doubling the amount of
slime blocks. ZED: But also like, getting delivered apples?! Haha, from this distance, ah! Is incredibly satisfying! Through a few experiments and some NOT AT
ALL excessive redstone, he’s able to quadruple the distance he can auto-throw an item. So the Combrewter 2.0 coming in the future
will be sending in the potion ingredients while scoring three pointers. Great then, that Cubfan just happens to open
a slime shop this week. Not great then that Zed orders his slime from
Grian instead, and the two get stuck trying to out-British each other. ZED: He gave me two stacks and he only wants
two diamonds for it?! No way! I was, I was gonna pay way more than that. Here, you can have eight. He's giving them back? Oh, he's giving me more slime! That's how this works. I give him more diamonds, then! [laughs] "STOP"-
oh no, okay, he's going away. Alright. "I can do this all day!" That’s the trick of choosing what kind of
material you’re building a base out of, and TangoTek quickly finds out, he didn’t
choose the best ones. Okay, the problem is he chose the best ones,
but no one’s selling them. ...Okay the problem is people already sold
them to someone who isn’t Tango. TANGO: I don't want deepslate! I want cobbled! That's kind of disappointing. Who else sells this stuff? Though deepslate market greets him with a
firm “I dunno”, basalt is at least farmable. And so Tango makes a basalt generator, though
doubles it for a good measure, because lava spills slower in the overworld, and crafting
pistons is less of a nuisance than going to the nether. So the Fifi’s cave time lapse is back on! And so is the iron farm, now that the villagers
don’t just randomly die from fall damage for one reason or another. TANGO: Yeah, see, I think I might need to
keep that water around for another tick, or maybe two? I think what I can do is... eh! [YAAAAY sound effect] And finally, there’s GoodTimesWithScar,
and 🎶 he will show you the world!🎶 He’ll also show you what for. GRIAN: Scar, what are you doing?! SCAR: [screams]
GRIAN: [mic-peaking laughter] SCAR: [startled shouting]
GRIAN: Scar?! As if the mountains of Boatem weren’t glorious
looking already, Scar goes into the detail, mostly focusing on breaking up the grey of
the stone with darker and lighter accents. It’s where the snowy peaks come very handy,
and the core of the hills gets spilt with tectonic cracks. Too bad as he builds the Boatem Rock, his
finances just happen to hit the rock bottom. All Scar has to show for the giant hourglasses
is a few IOUs and some pocket change. Which may actually be worth quite a bit when
used strategically, but don’t make for as pompous a display as a pile of diamond blocks
with nothing in it. SCAR: And an armor, um, cat-ce-terficate. Oh wow, I just uh really butchered that word. And that’s about it for this week’s recap! Our writer is ZloyXP and my name is Pixlriffs. Captions on this video were provided by Lyarrah. It’s prime time to prep a costume, and sometimes
