Hermitcraft 9: Episode 33 A FRESH START! Grian is back on hermitcraft going over the story so far and having a "soft" reset to get back into the server.
@Marley it actually takes time to build stuff and he's also been dealing with some serious crap recently, they are people too, so give them some grace.
One of the more rare items I can think of is the glitched leather helmet. In the secret tree rooms of Woodland Mansions, there is one chest that can contain an Efficiency I Iron Axe, but the game can glitch out and give you an Efficiency I Leather Cap instead.
Here's a little tip for building the backs of builds. Make the back... into the front. Seriously, add a few rooms there where you enter from the back, and that'll help with the necessity and motivation to actually do stuff over there. If you don't frequently visit a certain side of a build it's easy to neglect it, if you make all sides of your build important, then they tend to get less neglected.
The first Decked Out was amazing, but this second one is absolutely blowing my mind and it's NOT EVEN DONE YET. Seriously, the amount of detail and dedication Tango has to that build? The End aesthetic of just the lobby? Absolutely amazing. I just- there are no words. (Also, I love Grian's obsession with rare items. I absolutely get obsessed about similar things haha.)
how to finish the back of the base: realize you've built the base facing the wrong way, and you already have it done. now you just have to build the front.
Hear me out, Subterranean Cetacean Station. Cetacean [see-tay-shun] is the family dolphins are in. Subterranean, obviously means underground. If you guys were to build the track underground, you wouldn't have to worry about disrupting builds or the sight line. It'd be pretty cool :)
Some suggestions for highway: Mysticat seems to have already said to make it higher, which is a good idea, and is half of what I was going to say. 1. You could make a sort of hub like in the nether. This would provide a good stopping point, and you could change directions a bit easier. 2. With the angled road, don't have flowing water going off of either end. It seems to be pulling you off of the road. 3. (Possibility, I'm not sure if it would work) Maybe put dolphins all along the road. This might keep the effect active, therefore reducing the number of times you would need to slow down on the highway. Again, this might not work, idk.
28:11 perhaps you could drop down into the ground and speedy under bdubs’ and scar’s shops, then pop up and continue speedy running to everyone’s bases? Not sure if this idea would work, and the mining would definitely take a lot of time, but it’s an idea! :)
I love how you got so excited about finding tall grass. I feel that entirely except I'm obsessed with trying to see all the music discs recently in survival. Real Minecraft nerd pride😁
The soul soil road could be made into a "rainbow road" type of mini game, like a race track you can compete on. Also a very scenic race track that shows off many parts of your world.
I swear I took a break from watching hermitcraft for like 5 months and as soon as I decided to start watching it again... Grian starts talking abt how its been a minute... maybe QUITE A FEW MINUTES and then proceeds to give me a COMPLETE RECAP for everything that I missed when I was gone... Thats madness. its like this video was made for me
Same here! I just wasn’t really feeling a vibe at the beginning so I quit watching it and now this video was suggested to me and I feel good to get back to watching the hermits again
In addition to putting (grey) glow lichen on the green blocks, you can put vines on some of the grey blocks around it. Keeping vines from spreading is as easy as right-clicking with shears.
Have you experimented with different angles for the highway? a 15° angle is a lot straighter then a 45° one. It might just work for a short section to get around the shopping district.
have you considered making the dolphin highway underground and just having easily accessible stations at every major stop? This seems like a perfect opportunity to just make it a subway.
@Nightmare "when has the hermits ever done something 'the easiest approach'" Every episode? With everything that was for purely practical purposes? The only time they don't is when they're going out of their way to be creative, which mainly happens with pranks and builds. Everything else is just messing around, not trying to hyper-optimize for increasingly niche scenarios. You're thinking of Scicraft if that's the impression you got.
@Zhop Yeah a subway would be very cool like the one they made in Keralis’s city during Grains base in base “phase”. At least it would be easier to get the dolphins underground then at the build limit. I mean also seem them building it through the two buildings. Or a crazy solution I had using an Enderperal stasis or some other tricky to pass the buildings (highly unlikely)
@Harrygold8 Y'know what, that's probably what they'll go with if I'm being honest, just making it turn left then right. I think a subway system of sorts would be cooler solution but by far that's the easier one
What about using red stone ore beneath some glow lichen (or vines but vines may be too harsh) to give the effect of small flowers growing in some of the mossy parts of the build. You could also try it with Lapis, diamond, gold or emerald ore if you're feeling flush. Maybe even coal ore for your more spooky builds.
Every one of your TRvid videos that are titled with "It begins" or "let's go" or "Lets starts" has performed very very well on TRvid. Theyre part of your top 100 most viewed videos. This begins a new beginning! Hoping it hits one of your tops ❤️
The amount of times I have seen the grass and fern stuff in chests and have literally taken the chests’ contents and tossed those things on the floor to despawn is a great deal. I may hoard a lot of stuff, but “rare” stuff like that just never really gets used where I live. Although, a museum of artifacts, fossils, and rare finds might be neat to have…🤔
It'd be so neat to see some kind of inspiration from the nether castle from one of the previous seasons hanging from the rocks! Like, an upside down village, maybe? Or a crazy tall house like What Remains of Edith Finch!
i'd suggest adding an entrance on the back of your build so you see that side more and thus are more motivated to finish it. also a reason to approach from that direction :D
this may be a bit late but itd be cool if you designed the water travel system as if it were an aqueduct with archways underneath, you could maybe even push it and ask if you could integrate the aqueduct with the peoples builds its going through to help with the look and maybe add some design
If you want to go diagonally, you'd have to significantly widen the track and that would require more dolphins in order to get the full effect across the entire track.
Honestly, I'd probably put the super speed highway underground. It's a lot of digging and will be hard to get the dolphins in there, but on the plus side you don't have to worry about going through any buildings. Plus bubble elevators are awesome to use.
what if you just started approaching your castle from the back? So that way it’s actually the front and you’ll feel compelled to complete it. I’d only suggest doing so once the front is finished though
The castle looks fantastic! I really appreciate the mini tutorial of the moss gradients too. I find it easier to naturally integrate new techniques into my own building when it's explained so I can't wait to get working on things! As for the speed highway, it'll be a bit more work but if you can't go through shops and can't go around shops, can you go under shops? I mean have it as a tunnel like a subway system. Downside of course is the digging but some hermits like Pearl enjoy mindless mining at times. Whatever you end up going with, I can't wait to see it!
Deepslate Emerald is the rarest block in the game, since emerald ore only spawns in mountains, and at high y levels, thus deepslate emerald is rarer then Netherite.
Grian, I like the idea of the road. I think its a very funny idea that Etho came up with. But whould it be better if the road was underground? This way you can avoid all those problems that you mentioned earlier and also it might look a bit better if the speedway wasnt ontop of bdubs roads going through the shopping district. Just a thought, and glad to see hermitcraft vids back again!
i think the rarest block is a block of fire? bc u could only get it in the early versions of minecraft. also finding double double tall grass was pretty chobblesome
A simple solution to the back problem is to not have a back. Or at least... when designing your build... don't build it in a manner where it's only seen from one side. Try and build it where it looks good from all sides. If you start your builds with this in mind, it actually makes it a lot easier to do.
For the diagonal speedy water highway, what if the sides were open fence gates? They don't have collision boxes, so you can't accidentally run into them.
I wonder if you could design a bubble elevator/drop down chute for the speedway to go under the shops. Whereby the momentum of your running would propel you to the drop down, whilst going over the bubble column, allowing you to drop down or go up, depending on the direction you are going.
Also have you considered making the dolphine trail more like a subway/train rail and let it go under ground during the shopping district with access points you can fly into??? It'd be much cuter and interesting than a line in the sky AND just as fast and easy to access. While being able to make it very bare bones and just putting it as a subway line that can be very copy past (and have the ability to have hermits potentially throw graffiti in the tunnels 👀🥰
@Minalkra ofcourse! It would be far too much of a shame to hide all of it. I'd love to have only the shopping district underground proper, whatever Y level that is I mean. But letting the cute world be shown as much as possible 🥰
Instead of putting it ALL underground, having some 'viewports' into the highway might be a good way to draw attention to it. Digging a deep hole, designing the landscaping to be interesting and having a glass roof over the subway during that part will allow the runner to be seen. I wish there was a way to gently step-up/down the path so that it's not a huge bother to change elevation ... a path of four or five waterlogged halfslabs to change half a block, repeated a few times to change elevation without interrupting the speed? So block-block-lower halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-lower block-block-block-block-block-even lower halfslab-halfslab-etc?
That’s a really great idea, but just keep in mind that the entire tunnel would have to be dug out. Considering that the Hermit’s bases are several hundreds of blocks apart, it would be a serious undertaking.
Grian excitement for the tall grass is refreshing- my current world I’ve been trying to collect everything in minecraft for a museum build and I react the same
I played Minecraft yesterday on my survival world and I looted a savannah village and found some tall grass. I didn’t know it was rare until I watched this video, which sent me on a 30 minute run to the village, and another 30 minutes back. It is now hanging on my wall.
For the speedy highway problem, to avoid cutting through the builds of other hermits, why not bury it deep underground, or raise it to the sky above all the buildings, that way the X and Z coordinates stay the same but you just change the Y value.
@Kaycee Carson Something with slime block's maybe? i think that could work! with trip-wires you could literly jump over a building, plus you get a nice view
I believe I know the answer, though I am only guesssing. Running it underground may also cause issues with anyone who has mining or farms beneath their base that expand across the region. It might also be harder to plot a course after so long into the season as it would be to plot one above ground. The only disadvantage I can think of for putting up high is that it may not be asthetically pleasing. True, it may not be asthetically pleasing now... but I suspect the flourish that will be done to it might dominate the skyline far more than a simple roadway may. Again, just guessing and not intending to project my opinions on this. I could be wrong and I don't necessarily believe that such a thing would not be asthetically pleasing nor do I know if it would be that hard to run it underground. I'm just purposing why Grian thought this might've been the best choice. True, he may be underthinking it. Or overthinking it... since he put it above ground. :D
Etho's content makes me so happy so it's super heartwarming to see him mentioned and appreciated hehe also oddly enough, I've found multiple of the double tall grass items just wandering around haha. I think I have 3. I also have something like 10 or so deepslate coal ore... and I think one deepslate emerald ore? Maybe? I can't remember. I've also been collecting any normal stone diamond ores I find. the drafts made out of diamond and gold blocks hahahaha
Grian gave me flash backs to when I got really gassed up about getting large ferns (basically the same as tall grass but only found in spruce villages)
What about creating a random platform in the sky. And from there, the high way would go above all the buildings. It would be cool to have a transportation up in the sky
Maybe you and Mumbo should make a backless base together - each of you make a front that join together into one. Of course, the benefit of that is the lag! So many items might lag into your pockets!
Either this or getting enough fragments to make record 5. The following are a bit less rare, but: deepslate coal, stone redstone ore, or stone diamond ore. Or finding a fossil with diamonds underground? Though that can literally take forever.
@CubyCube lol, good job. My pfp was just some artists drawing that I liked. I am planning on changing it to something I made soon, but I haven't gotten to it😅 but u have a fun little story for yours!
For Doc it is. My first introduction to Doc's craziness was the grand opening of the Octagon last season with the lightning generator. He had a CIRCULAR nether portal!! The man is NUTS
What if the dolphin highway goes through the shops but gets integrated into the design of the building? There are many real life residential buildings and hotels that have train and rail systems going through them!
What about a storyline where you make a gallerie with all your fancy itens and your dragon egg that you obtain "fairly" (buying or making a favour/job) and thennn IT GET STOLEN! Then you have to discover who did it with you detective friends, and then the group that stole it have to hide it and sabotage the investigation. After you guys "fight" then the egg get donated to a museum in the shopping district rather then your personal gallerie.
I don’t know any rare items in minecraft but you could put them up either for auction between the hermits or maybe even better make a exhibition for it. Maybe sort them after time period in which those might have been normally found within every different period section of you floating build 👍🤔 then of course charge entrance fee for the hermits to visit
I don't know if it's still possible, but in older versions you could build contraptions to glitch a bedrock item into existence. If it is still possible, that could be an item you could hunt.
Rare things that come to mind: Deepslate Coal Ore (this one makes me cry because i like to use it in dark gradients in creative but it's too rare to do that with in survival) Diamond Ore (non-deepslate, but I don't know if it actually counts as rare on Hermincraft after the diamond pillar war lol) Tall Fern (exact same situation as Tall Grass but taiga villages) Recovery Compass Notch Apple (they're still rare, people just go after them more) Music Discs: "Otherside", "Pigstep", "5" Banner Patterns: "Thing" (costs a notch apple to craft), "Snout" Mobs: Purple Axolotl, Brown Mooshroom, Brown Panda, Skeleton Horse
