[@welredd]

I can’t believe there is still more to be added to this project. It is already at an absolutely jaw dropping level of size and complexity. You never cease to amaze me tango.

[@INGIE32]

Same

[@lexistcipher9017]

This season is going to be devastating when it ends but it'll definitely be the craziest one yet. It's gone on for so long and there are so many amazing projects this season! I can't wait until Tango opens it and everyone plays

[@welredd]

[@Mushmoo1575]

Yah they have a lot to go

[@skyellama8374]

Yeah, it made me a little sad when Tango said the actual game was only a couple months. They should do more "seasons" of decked out in hermitcraft season 9

[@bobosaurus331]

This season is going to last for at least another year, barely anyone has finished their base!

[@neon2870]

Mumbo is already planning for 1.20 in his recent video so I don’t think it’s going to end soon.

[@gristen]

you should totally get some of scar's hot guy calendars to hang up in the foreman's office and the miner's sleeping quarters

[@trash__queen]

Lol good idea

[@mozeytown]

Yes this!

[@M4ndalore]

This would be awesome! Especially if he works with Scar to design a few Hot Guy calendars exclusively for Decked Out, that would look kinda old and tattered to match the abandoned, run-down feel of the rest of the Black Mines! Scar has said that Hot Guy is past his prime, so maybe these older calendars could be from back in his glory days!

[@contrapasta2454]

@@M4ndalore Just make it sepia-toned and give him a handlebar moustache

[@slimlancaster9844]

Maybe Tango read your comment. He mentioned in his live stream after this video uploaded that he will be doing just that.

[@triffinne]

Every time Tango says "I don't think the player will..." I laugh a little bit. Can't wait to see the hermits doing everything they weren't expected to do 😆

[@moontrasher7023]

I'm a DM and a player in several D&D games and I can agree with you. As a DM I never think a player will do that, and as a player I always do it x)

[@pearl_rose4442]

Mainly Scar?

[@somerandompersonintheinternet]

Now I can't stop imagining a warden in a suit, sifting through books with performance records for each warden in the dungeon. "Looks like Bob killed 20 hermits today. I think he deserves a bonus"

[@mrhelpful1190]

Potential idea for level 4: We currently can work out where the coins are coming from (left behind by the miners, etc), but we don’t currently know where the frost embers come from. What if you had a massive frozen entity in the middle of floor 4 that’s slowly thawing out and the frost embers are chunks of the ice it was encased in.

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Love this idea!

[@bramtube6922]

Great idea

[@bkplaylists3243]

Smart

[@joseffroschauer7374]

Something like an elder Warden or maybe just it's massiv head sticking out of the ground

[@benish3890]

Do you plan on leaving the key tyne as the Zelda chest jingle? Because some ominous pipe organ music would be an awesome touch to the game!

[@philw8049]

I’ll say it again. Tango should be allowed to port decked out 2 into the next season. I know the Hermits don’t typically do that but the sheer amount of work he is putting into this is crazy. Plus I would love to see them have an entire season to play it, I don’t THINK the other Hermits would have an issue with it.

[@5pindin]

Agreed. It would be great to see TCG on upcoming seasons too, just because it is still evolving, but that's a bit easier to implement and it has had a decent run already. But with the sheer scale of decked out 2 and how long it will take players to reach levels 3 & 4, people are going to need to play for quite some time. I keep thinking back to when Tango did among us and it was right at the end of the season, they got a couple of games in but that was it.

[@UmATrinta]

"The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep..." This level is soo awesome, the presence of the warden in this meandering and vertical space really makes it feel like Moria.

[@aulvinduergard9952]

Tango should get Cleo in to do an armor stand Gollum.

[@justinrainville3080]

The foreman’s office is cool but now that you said wardens office I can’t help picturing hermits being sent to the wardens office for detention.

[@the_Lena_girl]

LMAO I love that, someone has to draw that

[@dabdillon6318]

he could have that at the very bottom level for the ''head warden" who is name tagged and permanent

[@MazzyGG]

Yeah quite literally the warden! Death trap warden, not the jail behind bars type of warden! 😂😂

[@monatae9725]

The Black Mines are incredible, but my favorite part of this episode was listening to Tango pick random numbers every time he refers to a floor. Especially the floor 4 mention at 17:17 😂

[@BlahCraft1]

You'll need to make a better fence around the drop to level 4, as level 3 wardens may try to Leroy Jenkins their way down to level 4 if they're chasing a player.

[@mitch-lawless]

I sense any wardens dropping down to level 4 are simply going to re-join their fellow bretherin. Good luck to the next player going all the way down...

[@makakachaput]

​@@mitch-lawless lol! That's funny, but that might be the problem. Tango probably doesn't want to try to relocate any wardens!

Man, tango is making an entire adventure map in survival. That requires some crazy dedication

[@NinjaBearFilms]

“Survival-ish” Mostly survival… Vanilla-adjacent

[@ianerickson2210]

@@NinjaBearFilms I mean what's the biggest difference? They have template mods? Custom item skins? Their mods get rid of some of the tedious things in the game, or make more creative ventures possible, so the content is better.

[@NinjaBearFilms]

@@ianerickson2210 Everyone of them will admit they are content creators first and foremost. With every season pushing them to be bigger and grander than the last season.

[@sethsmith2608]

[@medianoche3]

Especially since it's done in Vanilla, it'd be incredibly impressive even in a creative world; but having to gather every resource and the amount of time to clear out areas in a standard world? I get it's their job but man, and even I love a grind, but what they do is a straight up squirrel cage.

[@ourwaffles]

I love how Tango doesn't even need to create a heartbeat in levels 3 and 4, because the warden's heartbeat is way more terrifying.

[@jsw973]

He still will though, I'm pretty sure. Clank levels needs to be communicated somehow, and I don't think he wants overreliance on the interactive map

[@silverback349]

You can tell Tango is excited, when he doesn't stop to take a breath while explaining something.

[@tisjstme5315]

[@pesegolsson]

Holy crap, decked out is growing to a massive "mini" game. World download is going to be fun to explore this season. Almost wished there was a "naked" version of decked out in an void world so you could take everything in...

[@Morningstar_37]

I mean you can make one using worldedit, that would also massively decrease lag while playing it

[@INGIE32]

Agreed

[@skyellama8374]

Yeah, this project is nuts.. Also I actually think a hot, hellish fire theme for the 4th floor makes a lot of sense and would be really cool. Plus the stress of getting all the way down there would actually make it hellish. If it was just an ancient city it wouldn't be very different from the black mines.

[@andromacdonald5216]

what tango needs is a team of game designers so they can turn decked out into an official game i would be so stoked to play such a game

[@arianneespina6041]

I remember Tango building a hole in the TNT room on Level 1 to go down to Level 3 to bypass Level 2. I don't know if he'll still implement it or not, but I really like the idea, I hope it isn't scraped.

[@ksdragona_5583]

On stream he's mentioned the idea has a lot of balancing flaws, so even if the pit has treasure or a quest or something, players won't be able to get to The Black Mines directly from the Frost dungeon.

[@sninsilico]

It would just be too powerful and hard to balance

[@amaryllis0]

I think it doesn't really work with the key-door system he's settled on, especially with it being one-way, leaving you stuck behind locked doors

[@jsw973]

I think now instead of going to level 3, it drops you in front of the door to lvl 3? So you still have to hunt for keys

[@deepakrajendra8019]

I love the way the fire was integrated for the Warden only routes. The Warden research stream giving rise to this is awesome! I love the verticality of this level a lot, will be fun to see how the players go through it. I also would like to commend the builders for the help, the mines don't look too overly designed and at the same time have a lot of thought put into them!

[@benniethepooh]

I dont even need to watch to know it’s amazing. Decked Out 2 has to be one of the most amazing things ever built in survival Minecraft. You’re insane Tango!

[@trash__queen]

No doubt about it. Decked out is just another level of a build. Sometimes builders ascend to artist status, but I'd argue the tango is instead like developer status or something lol

[@teshtishtoshtesh3218]

I know it's just a typo, but now I think having stationary live wither bullets from Doc's reactor would be a godly combination. Setting those all up would be a real pain tho

Tango's mentioned he will stream most of the first weekend when decked out drops. There's a great opportunity to see it all there.

[@williamthompson4761]

I am absolutely floored at what you have managed to accomplish here, Tango! As a sort of final touch, you should definitely have Cleo come through and do some armor stand stuff like, strange creatures frozen in the ice on level one, the body of a past adventurer floating in the lake on level two, etc. Keep up the amazing work, I am really excited to see this thing in action!

[@rev_dude]

Yes. This. Absolutely.

[@Kiwimarauder]

Decked Outs time sensitivity makes Tango talk in double speed, no time to waste!

[@purplef0xx]

It would be cool if level 4 had a soul sand aesthetic fit with bones and skulk like some kind of soul graveyard

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Cool idea!

[@qocket]

Sometimes I look at all the work Tango has done on decked out this season and all that is to come, and ask myself about his sanity. Tango mate, you sir are a Madlad.

[@guts60]

Dropping from the Black Mines to the 4th Level should be a terrifying experience. Just pure darkness and a long fall all the way to a few blocks above bedrock (so you can still have your own floor rather than a jagged bedrock floor).

[@mymanager3662]

And then you can walk UP from the long fall into level 4

[@themangoninja8]

As fun as that would be, I don't think Tango wants to deal with all that digging and the redstone transfer.

[@blackknightreturns1]

I so hope Decked out gets enough time to be played b4 server reset, it would be a crime to do this much work and have it rushed to meet the end of the season.

[@youthfulgreenbeast3851]

No way the hermits would do that. They are just as excited as him for it so they will definitely play it. My guess is the season will be over a couple months after decked out

[@coreybethel4182]

I'm envisioning almost a Stranger Things vibe for level 4. Like falling through the doorway would be the equivalent of walking through the portal in the Russian lab into the upside down. If level 3 is *beginning* to be taken over by warden skulk and such, level 4 could be completely terraformed essentially into whatever spooky habitat the wardens in your narrative lived in.

[@flyingdragon4613]

An idea for Level 4 if you haven't decided it yet: Level 4: Utter darkness, very few lights with a ton of sculk and danger ahead I love the new Level 3, it looks quite fun and a ton of possibilities to go anyway you want, unless a warden is in the way

[@mozeytown]

I think he's planning to use a lot of fire and lava on level 4, but the blindness effect from the wardens will definitely cast a lot of it in darkness 😄

[@aulvinduergard9952]

The problem with 'utter darkness' is the fact that it'd make it a massive mob spawner.

[@flyingdragon4613]

@@aulvinduergard9952 Thats why I said with a very few lights. Since mobs wont spawn at light level 1+. So if the lighting is placed with logic, it could create more darkness than on level 3.

[@At0mix]

I actually love that part of Decked Out is designed by the Patreon server. Now there's a bit from the Hermits, a bit from the fans, and a (big) bit from Tango. Real community effort.

[@ccbeemee]

Now that you've said it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have Cleo put a Warden sitting behind the desk in the office! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!! LOL Loving what Decked Out is looking like! Really appreciate all the work and effort you're putting in! You are INCREDIBLE!!! ❤

[@tetsujin_144]

What if part of level 4 contained the ruins of an ancient iron farm - a run-down set of platforms with lots and lots of doors? Might be a fun little call-back, I'm sure Etho would recognize it when he gets down there... Maybe the depths of level 4 could have other "ancient" Minecraft things down there, too. (I love a good Nether Reactor reference, personally...)

[@MrSirSquishy]

The last tier should definitely have some soul flame to have a mix between the blue skulk and fire.

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Yes, definitely! 1, the blue fire fits better with the sculk (color-wise); 2, it is so much hotter than normal fire since it does much more damage; and 3, it is good to have a distinction between The Deepest Floor and everything else.

[@mch123r4]

I think placing some lights or other redstone under the calibrated sensors would make for a good experience, like old circuits getting power from Dungeon's Wrath.

[@bretttracy8564]

I think something that could add to it for the hermits is if you tie them into the lore, instead of just using the lore as background for the setting. E.g. the mining company is hiring adventurers to retrieve valuables they left behind in their hasty exit, and the hermits are answering the call. Just something that could lore-wise explain why the players are there would be cool. When making a video on how to play, you could tie it in, like making it in an old-timey style played out like an add explaining the job.

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Love this idea! I love when the lore is more like the part of the actual events and isn't just a background-easteregg

[@shaunacall4685]

The hermits better post all of their runs so we can see Tangos work in all it’s glory. I’m terrified for level 3!

[@haldalas]

The Ancient City vibes are so good for that whole level, it looks like it was made by the same mysterious civilization or something

[@ivmatt3142]

This project is going to be amazing once it is finished! I have one idea that you could introduce into level four of the dungeon. So since the deeper you are going into the dungeon, the more fiery it is getting, where is all that heat coming from? What you could do for part of the story behind this dungeon is that the miners dug too deep and actually broke through to an extremely deep part of the overworld where heat from the depths is coming from. Wardens come from that realm, making them immune to fire and such. What I am getting to is that you could have a nether-esque block palette that is nearly completely overgrown with sculk for the bottom level. Just a cool idea I had.

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Cool idea!

[@kostasgeorgiou2417]

I like how obvious it is that Tango loves the crate mod and I'm sure he's excited to finish Decked Out and get back to it

[@noahpenman3493]

Wow just wow. The amount of effort Tango puts into make minecraft look as close as possible to the create mod makes me wish that Hermitcraft had the create mod just so Tango would not have to work so hard. Everything looks so cool!

Why does he need a level 4 for it to be done?

[@ethanhelmer2526]

The "grand hallway" reminds me a lot of the bridges room from DO1

[@thedeltastrat]

Looks amazing! You should add a top to the ore loading chest, up at the frost citadel, for lore continuity. Could also be an amazing easter egg for hermits wondering why there is a kind of well at the surface, then they go down to level 3 and see the ore room and realise its purpose.

[@MaxLastfogel]

I'm actually surprised that the rails don't mess with the Warden's pathing, like it does with all the other mobs. Anyway, absolutely fantastic!

[@Ithenna]

It did originally, but mojang tried really hard to eliminate as many methods of cheesing the warden as possible before they released it in the official update, so they bothered to bug fix the code just for the warden alone.

[@amaryllis0]

@@Ithenna I don't think it's a bug, I think it's a feature specifically to stop enities walking in front of your minecart and causing it to stop when you bump into them

[@Ithenna]

@@amaryllis0 It is definitely a bug (it's "fixed" on bedrock), but it's definitely become one of those bug-became-feature kind of things these days. Java players have had it and utilized it for so long that mojang doesn't really want to fix it anymore than quasi connectivity or tnt dupers.

[@acdettwiller]

I remember you saying you wanted a secret room in decked out used to craft some of the high end cards. what if that room was only available on deepfrost difficulty, so the hermits have a little more incentive

[@Wjanabdjd138]

That room is “The Forge”, found in the post-game Ember Frost shop (the rest of the shop is shown a few episodes ago). It isn’t technically locked behind difficulty level, but it does have a high Ember Frost entry fee that functionally would probably require you to be playing on a higher difficulty to afford it.

[@leonard-gq5eh]

Wouldn't it be neat if there was a sort of hidden trapdoor by the conveyor belt with the gold, so the players could travel between the two kinda sneakily? Loving level 3!

[@lexistcipher9017]

That would be REALLY cool. Especially if there was a prize

[@SyrinxQ72]

If Tango ever says "Im not a builder" again...we need to set him straight. This is gonna be so epic once it is completed. I think the Hermits will not want to leave this season... season 10 can wait another year lol.

The ingenuity that Tango has completely reinforces why he was the first Minecrafter I started watching.

[@aidanlanz3114]

I love the little crossways with the fire in level 3! Very Lord of the Rings vibes 🔥 😁

[@tezzaract365]

What if for level four, you introduced ice and snow back into the pallet as a way of tying back into the general theme of the citadel. It'd be a cool frost-and-fire contrast, and lore-wise it could be explained as either skulk having weird preserving properties, or maybe just the weird icy magic of the citadel itself.

[@UNOwen-lo6no]

Cool idea

[@Rixsiwolflover]

Man, Tango you are absolutely crazy for what you do for Decked Out and I think we should all take a minute to acknowledge and appreciate that. Wow

[@conure512]

as soon as you mentioned Warped wood for level 4, I started thinking about how cool it would be if level 4's theme was a sort of mix between Sculk and Nether. as if the two worlds were starting to become unstable and bleed into each other

[@FlammingHot770]

I like how you are making level3 and 4 a literal horror game.

[@PolinaCedric]

About the black market item sorting issue you mentioned on stream a couple of weeks ago, I think I might have a solution: If for all black market items you remodel another item than iron nuggets, like bottles or non-stackable items, you can sort them by their properties, such as sorting the bottles with a brewing stand or a non-stackable item sorter.

Hey, Tango! I really love the build already. You've done a great job on it! I have an idea for level 4 if you don't already have an idea for that. Maybe you could call it "The Creature's Den" and have it have a center piece that is the creature, which is a sort of octopus looking thing made of sculk, which spreads sculk everywhere as his sort of nervous system and has wardens as his minions.

[@anzerupnik1442]

For next season you really need a mole skin :D PS: I love that you reused the old design of classic minecraft mines.

[@truefractal2659]

I feel like a warped nether skulk biome feel for level 4 would be awesome. I can envision the warped trees and skulk infection pairing up to make a greatly spooky level. (If you want to do that. If not, your idea will definitely be better and I'm even more excited!)

[@MysteryAccordeonMan]

The theme you've chosen for level 3 really reminds me of the dive coaster "Baron 1898" in the Efteling, Netherlands. Also revolts around a story of miners who dug too deep and find spirits down below.

[@jenv7389]

In stream I heard Gem had wanted to help. Thought...ask her to create custom trees or other foliage to add interest for the big open level 4. If she mocks it up, you can build it there for no spoilers.

This is just the most humongous project here in HC and it's so amazing! YOU'RE AMAZING Tango! SO excited for the next level and definitely will keep on cheering!

[@flyinginnloft]

I can't wait to see this being played!!! This is just mind blowing

[@Hiznogood]

Such a insanely big project that nearing its completion! Tango goes far and above making it happen with such drive and focus on something that’s never been done before in this scale and he does in in survival! Crazy impressive! Looking forward to watch the other hermits run this game in hopefully a near future! Just hope he doesn’t burn himself out!

[@juliannavinciguerra8202]

every time I think Tango can’t impress me more, he pulls something INSANE like this I CANT BELIEVE HOW COOL LEVEL 3 IS

[@quinnlightfoot]

This is so inspiring. Insane. It's like a theme park or something. So immersive.

[@johnlaurie5862]

This is hands-down the most impressive thing I've seen anyone accomplish in survival. Wild. Three cheers for Tango!

[@hannahchristelle1909]

Woooooah Tango this looks amazing!!! You're killing it! Can't wait to see Decked Out 2 in action!

[@kaspermygenfordt2323]

I can already hear Etho telling the other hermits, how essential jump boost is. xD When he discovers that card he will dominate. :D

[@KevOSMusic]

Not a single video this season has disappointed Tango. Lots to do left but it's so cool to see the game well past the 50% mark, possibly even past the 75% mark.

Perhaps the watervator could be in a waterfall? Light up in a way to show people that they can go up. Also the exit on level 3 from 4 could be a small pool/lake instead of a one block hole, the connection between the waterfall and the lake would be filled with watervators so that they can't cheese their way down to level 4.

[@YourLocalTransDemiboy]

This is such a huge project. Props to you, Tango, this is absolutely amazing!❤

[@pikmintopia]

An idea for level 4- a beating heart made of skulk at the center. Synch it up to the clank heartbeat and let the players realize with horror that it’s the source of the noise they’ve been hearing the whole time. Not my comment but a great idea from someone who commented at the stream - AwesomeMcCoolName.

[@getfugu5855]

My idea for the bottom level: underwater caverns. Imagine landing in a dark pool of water after jumping through the hole. There's a moment of calm. Then, the drowned lining the walls assault you with tridents. Pressured from all sides, you take the only option left: swimming down. The deeper cavern twists and turns until it opens up into the final large chamber. There's a forest of menacing floating balls chained to the chamber floor (ala the scene in finding nemo with the submarine mines where they meet the sharks). There are air pockets in the ceiling of the chamber, but all are guarded by drowned with their tridents, making it hard to gasp more than a few bubbles of air at a time. The other option is to watch the geothermal vents on the floor of the chamber, waiting for the telltale flash that signals a brief lifeline, a vertical jet of bubbles that can provide a few precious seconds of air. Spend too much time accruing clank in this chamber and the floating spikeballs open to reveal the guardians and their inescapable beams. Water and drowning is an awesome mechanic for decked out because it forces players to move or die. But here, we make the air pockets feel just as dangerous as staying underwater by placing drowned with tridents along the walls of the upper chamber. Swimming down just a few blocks obstructs their view, but you need air at some point. You could make it possible to get air underwater with bubble columns from the "geothermal vents", but turning the bubbles on and off with pistons forces the player to move, often not in the direction they want to go.

Hey Tango, have you thought of adding an indicator to the dungeon Map to show that there is a run in progress so other Hermits would know some one was in the dungeon. Then maybe you would set up viewing platforms throughout the dungeon? Food for thought. :)

[@yiannchrst]

very nice idea!

[@mozeytown]

Viewing platforms are an interesting idea but I'm not sure how you'd propose their implementation. The dungeon is huge and sprawling so any given viewing location would only be able to see a small part at a time, and the viewers would risk being targeted by vex and wardens (which would not only ruin their experience but also interfere with the run). Plus watching other peoples' runs might give away secrets and strategies that they're meant to figure out on their own. Technically anyone on hermitcraft could spectate a run with freecam, but it would spoil so many things they'd almost definitely rather discover for themselves.

[@spootmusic]

This is going to be a blast to watch when it's finished. Especially knowing all the hard work leading up to it

[@badasson8825]

The black mines have just upped the game for decked out 2! Very very smart dungeon layout. About the entrance to level 4, a little idea of mine is to only one of the floor's key barrels to open the shuttle randomly each run, indicated by a visual puzzle hint, so that the hermit can wrinkle his brain and choose the correct one from the secret or waste time collecting 3 keys and testing on the different floors.

[@stephencarey857]

This is so cool! I'm still holding out hope for a "combination vault" somewhere (level 4?) with clues hidden in the previous levels to find that combination... maybe a DLC!
