Dungeon & Servant Quarters | Hermitcraft S10 - Ep. 22

[@lilslicelive]

Hey Wels! There’s a way to make a straw bed effect in vanilla. If you water log the floor (which would have to slabs) you can get some yellow coral fans and place them on the ground without worrying about them dying :)

[@JDSmith-jds]

Yes! What a splendid idea! Like, so people can see! 😃

[@ninjapirate89]

Hey Wels, for the guard room you should ask Cleo about armor stands. There is a nice way to display weapons and tools on the wall using triphooks.

[@honeycomblord9384]

I saw that in Joel's base. Crazy how quickly he got good at armor stand stuff!

[@AjaxXavior]

@@honeycomblord9384I mean he’s been doing armour stand stuff for a while but he’s massively improved on Hermitcraft

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

​@@honeycomblord9384to be fair the book does have some popular presets and one of them is "item rack" display that matches tripwire hooks as well as on/in floor/leaning against wall. So it can be quite easy and very quick to setup some of the basic details using the armorstand book. Even so, once you get a good grasp on the movement system then more advanced creations become much easier to build. It's really all about getting past that hump in the learning curve, after that your imagination and build height are your only limits... xD

[@bigASUP]

Maybe a guy sat on the floor in a cell too

[@ryangoforit8632]

Good ideas!!!

[@Kur0Engel]

0:12 he’s playing frogger 🤣🐸 18:14 stack the carpets onto each other to give the illusion of bunk beds and put the cauldron latrine in the corner so it’s not so awkward looking.

[@JDSmith-jds]

You have some very good suggestions, Kur0Engel. Like so that people can see.

[@elsiestoltzfus9252]

Hay bales would be awesome for straw in the jail cells.

[@michaelaburks1463]

Was looking for this

[@justus8675]

Yeah, but the need to be put into the floor or else the bed would be to high up. Maybe lower the floor by a halfslab and use hay bales as beds. You will use some color but that should be okay!

[@thomasfplm]

​@@justus8675, I thought of lowering the floor by half a slab too.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

and path blocks

[@Looooooooofa]

You should 100% have cleo fill your castle with servants, guards and prisoners using her armourstand magic. It would really bring life to the place

[@loooooooooooooooofa]

100% yes

[@kittenredkat]

9:26 you can once again hear the classic Hypno fireworks. LOL. i'm always listening for them now.

[@NyxianCenturius]

Same lol

[@julierosemodelproductions]

sunday driver is etho's frogger ravager names 😋🐸

[@AjaxXavior]

I saw that on G’s video but didn’t know about the names lol

[@LDSG_A_Team]

Bamboo trapdoors make decent straw mats

[@wizard1399]

In the prisoners cells you could add a flower pot on the floor to act as a chamber pot.

[@spazbobstinkpants]

Yes, was thinking Bread, water, and a pot to p*** in.

[@EdzTech7]

It’s a shame we can’t place buckets

[@SirChaosS]

i'm pretty sure that's what the cauldron in the floor covered by a trap door is. :)

[@samstone8674]

I love the way you did the doors on the jail cells. They look great. And maybe you could use one of the empty towers like a grain silo? So your citizens can have a food stockpile for the winter. And one of those extra rooms could be turned into a wine cellar (using those giant pots as wine jugs).

[@afiott]

The jail cells maybe need some mossy cobble/stone to make it look more run down. Also, maybe you can hire cleo to make some armour stands to make it more alive. Loving the build

[@justus8675]

And some slabs and stairs, to make some holes in the floor! I am not a fan of buttons as stones, but maybe give it a try!

[@Van-dq4sw]

This might be strange, but I love seeing you have to improvise solutions to things like the weird ceiling height from the floor above, or the servant quarters wall being the same as the outside. It's easy to go into these builds with a big Plan in your head, but especially in something built like this in bits and pieces, that kind of improvising and compromising is important, and it's something I always struggle with (getting to an It's Fine Enough point). Nice to see all parts of the master at work.

[@mellowman181]

In the closed cells put a jungle villager in them as their cloths is tattered so they look like prisoners

[@AkodoKusamoto]

*sees title* Ah, building accommodations for Grian and Scar today, I see...

[@AjaxXavior]

and Hypno

[@treekangaroo.7691]

You've built a dungeon, now build a dragon

[@IzapcStormcrow]

All jokes aside that could look really cool

[@jacubus9087]

Why not ask Doc about getting the real one?

[@taylormerrell8510]

Yes!!!

[@AjaxXavior]

@@jacubus9087because if Grian sees it and messes with it Doc will send charged creepers at the mending book

[@oldGil57]

I don’t know of he can handle it. 😂

[@tigerlily6968]

The castle is looking more and more awesome

[@Verygoodfeel01]

That castle is getting better and better with every episode i like how is turning out.

[@capedkat]

Perhaps the bathroom could be a multifunctional washing room. like laundry and washing. And I believe outhouses were quite popular for the numbers one and two. Love the design on the jailpotties.

[@Faefire]

I am new to hermitcraft and your videos are among my favourites. I really appreciate how you tell us your thought process. The castle looks amazing and I love all the details. It's just an incredible base you are building. I also really appreciate that you are calm/chill. From what I've seen so far on the hermitcraft server, there is a lot of shenanigans and sometimes it is almost... hectic? (That's not the right word. Can't think of a better one though.) So watching you is just a nice break. I love it. Thank you!

[@AjaxXavior]

First Welcome to HC. Second, as you said Wels’ content is quite relaxing and if this is something you like I recommend that you watch Xisumavoid as his content is also quite calm

[@Faefire]

@@AjaxXavior Oh thank you! I haven't watched Xisumavoid, yet, but I will definitely check his videos out if he has a similar vibe. So far I've gravitated to Wels (first and foremost), xB Crafted, Cleo and the Post group (Pearl, Tango and Etho). But I am happy to add more hermits to my regular watch list. I really enjoy watching them each play the game in their own unique way.

[@AjaxXavior]

@@Faefire that’s great hope your enjoying it. Btw I forgot to mention another great one to watch is Zedaph. He also has a relaxed vibe while making some very amusing content. The only downside is that he doesn’t upload as often as other Hermits but definitely check him out.😃

[@mikesforza7991]

I like how the servant quarters and the jail sizes are the same, with the bookshelf and full bed being the only difference. Loving all the content Wels has been sending out, would like to see a little more socializing though. Go outside the castle touch some Minecraft grass blocks.

[@snowycom]

Should leave a label behind in one of the servant rooms for Grian, since he slaved away in partitioning.

[@poggybitz513]

savage.

[@hycan4782]

And Scar too, for his help on the storage room. Reserve a jail cell for Hypno though, he's a troublemaker that one.

[@TheOneAndOnlyGhast]

Can’t forget false with that island perimeter!

[@hycan4782]

@@TheOneAndOnlyGhast I didn't, that's just business!

[@Ersa0431]

Instead of fully closing up those ceilings in the servants quarters, it would be cool if there was a trapdoor and access up to a storage crawl space. OR, secret passages? How many closed off spaces could you connect? Add a few not so obvious entrances and that would be so cool in a castle!

[@counterluxfilms]

Cosmo and Wanda ain’t slick 2:41

[@balthiersgirl2658]

Every episode the castle is looking more and more beautiful ❤️

[@driftoroad]

The empty room could be a laundry room and perhaps you could also use candles in your castle

[@TheOneAndOnlyGhast]

A good idea for one of the towers (or both!) could be a barracks for the soldiers of the castle.

[@YetAnotherJenn]

Chamber pots are essential. Quite agreed. Looking good down there!

[@samelol8149]

You could make a door opening on the side cells by haring the "door" on the wall side while filling the middle and opposite side with iron bars. Could even extend the center outward to make an open door

[@zueswantsdeath2612]

my favourite jail bed design is to put carpets on trapdoors

[@FharishAhmedVIP]

Grian was playing the Frogger game that Etho is making.

[@Missmori]

you should get a cub head, and put Cub in one of the closed cells. suffering for daring to disturb the residents of the castle with GOAT HORNS.

[@DaisyLovesGod]

Hey Wels, another option for the hay mats in the jail cells is to water log a slab and place a yellow coral fan on it which will keep it alive, and it will look more like hay! Just as a suggestion not forcing, have a great rest of your day :D

[@davidedwards793]

Wels, you should have Cleo do her armor stand magic at one of the larger end rooms to turn it into a torture room using the heads of the Hermits!

[@xynthymr]

As a big fan of castles and building castles in Minecraft, I love that Wels has fully embraced it this season! 🤗 I love watching his building processes, and he's inspiring me to build my own castle on the very same island on my own world!

[@DarkCopper]

You how funny it wohuld be to make the prison cells next to the kicthen, so the prisoners can smell the good food.

[@mr.blockhead12]

Maybe ask the hermits if they want to have their own servant quarter that they can decorate. It could be a way to add some personality to the rooms so they feel more lived in.

[@rubenlgreid6247]

For strawbeds just put a haybale into the floor :)

[@JDSmith-jds]

Oh, nice! Love the suggestion!

[@juulvermeer3525]

I love how we can know when he filmed this… because the Grian dying thing happend on Tango’s stream😂😂❤❤

[@iagrams9100]

The castle is amazing! I think I would need a map to get around. Once you are done with it, you should charge for guided tours!

[@t4c0b3l1]

I like the cells, but I would add a few mossy blocks. Make them look wet and damp. If possible at a water block above the roof to have water dripping particles.

[@M4SKED2001]

I love the constant pump out of the videos, they've been really enjoyable to watch

[@lyrai09]

late suggestion but for the jail cells maybe a haybale in the floor with one carpet next to it could make it look more like a straw bed with a super thin pillow type thing?

[@heatherfern1421]

The room near the kitchen could be the Head chef's room

[@StarNanny]

I second @carolinelurks suggestion for making the baths also the laundry. Ether a well for drawing water plus fire under the wash/bath tubs for heating…..or, another thermal hot spring pool (a la storage room) that is used for laundry and bathing. And there’s another terraforming idea for you….some magma blocks deep under the lake, dropping down into a “cave”, for the castle thermal pools “back story”.

[@ruemistressofyeets]

Or, since it's a castle, the scullery/laundry. Could make use of that space under the stairs for a well or hot spring.

[@vxoaxs]

castle getting better and better

[@carbonmonoxide5052]

Check out the castle bathrooms depicted in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. They’re essentially porta potties that stick outside the castle and allow everything to just fall to the ground.

[@junoantaresofficial]

If you want to know what was going on with Grian, ask Etho about it. I think it could be a fun colab too if you're up for doing what it is.

[@pesegolsson]

For the guard room, pickle makes for a better cup(size wise, just my opinion of course) and the armorstand datapack has toolracks so you can hang weapons on the walls.

[@deitrie]

instead of the yellow carpet you could maybe just inlay hay bales in the floor, or have a big hay bed and put the hay bales right on the floor, you could even use an iron pressure plate or a white carpet for a pillow

[@poom323]

Full of dungeon in your house, and it's goes really well.

[@jodyadams4075]

You can put water into the cauldrens and dye the water yellow or brown to make it look used😅

[@Minibuh]

i think putting the straw beds on planks (or trapdoors in this case) could look cool and make the cells look a little bit more interesting.

[@b-beale1931]

An Oubliette could be cool in the bottom of one of those towers

[@poppy5007]

You should trap zombies or villager zombies in the jail, or maybe normal villagers if you wanted, villagers might be a bit easier too!. I feel like something like this would add a load of life to the build and be really cool!

[@Gyn715]

Probably been suggested already but you could use one or two of the last rooms as a barracks for the guards.

[@kyleo77]

You should spin them swords on the weapon rack downwards. Also, theres enough room in the latrine to make it a three stall shower room on the back wall. I would use a banner on each stall for the shower curtain.

[@TheColorCraftMC]

Loving the detail you are putting into your castle.

[@FharishAhmedVIP]

12:28 Why not the hay/straw bails? Bury them in the floor and viola! 😁

[@The_AceEmpress]

Became a recent sub, and I’m loving the progression on the castle. Love putting these videos on while I work on stuff. Keep it up!

[@j4y_37_____3]

In the jail cells you should put smooth stone slabs then put the yellow carpet on it

[@jamesmartin7016]

You could turn the Hollow areas in your base into an egg hunt. Would also fit the theme of old Castles having hallways to nowhere and hidden exits. maybe some flush Redstone doors triggered by removing a book in the servant's quarters. Things like that would make your base so fun to explore when the world download come out.

[@lenzi1982]

you can hide the terracota wall with trapdoors along the wall too

[@DoomWalker42]

It would be funny if you put villagers in your prison cells. You had said before that you might have stone masons or other villagers for your shop. So maybe your prison and servants quarters can be a literal prison and servants quarters to house your trading hall. You can put carpets in the opening to the jail cell and because it is not a full 2 blocks tall then the villagers cannot escape. You can hide their work stations beneath the carpets to retain the prison vibes. You can also use the carpet trick in the doors to the servants quarters. A fun fact about medieval bathrooms in castles is that the Latrine was often in a small circular tower hanging off the side of the keep. it had a hole underneath the wooden box people sat on to urinate and defecate. The faeces and urine would fall onto the side of the castle walls. (You could replicate this by having mud or soul soil beneath the latrine) Then whichever peasant or person whose job it was to have Latrine duty would literally have to scrape the faeces off the walls. It was a very unpleasant job. The bathtub would usually be in a separate room or tower.

[@IsYitzach]

Grian was testing Etho's implementation of Frogger. All of the moving hazards are named "Sunday Driver."

[@nozser]

13:40 Could you put water above the cells. So it looks like it's dripping on the prisoners. Now you have a lower ceiling? 💧

[@fanboy270]

For the cell beds. Carpet on floor. Spruce traps immediately above. Carpet on those. Then you have bunks. With the "toilet" in the opposite corner

[@TheZacman2]

21:37 People in medieval times didn't have plumbing, so there wouldn't have been any indoor bathrooms.

[@thomasfplm]

12:38 You could even have bunk beds, you could use trapdoors and put more carpets above those. And others suggested using hay bales as beds. You could do it by lowering the floor by half a slab.

[@Helbereth]

The jail cells should have moss carpet instead... they can sleep on the cold, wet moss. Also, a filled (or partially filled) composter in between the moss beds with a trap door against the wall above would make convincing facilities.

[@dennishu5560]

Watching Grian just die on repeat to Etho's frogger game is so funny 😂

[@timeittells]

wels is really cranking stuff out this season

[@thomasfplm]

8:44 You could have one of them with the beds as a double bed, as if those servants were married.

[@magdahearne497]

Loving the castle so far Wels, thanks for sharing & inspiring us 😊

[@dabart90]

you could try out candels in the servant quarters as lightsource

[@Getsugaru]

Etho currently has a horn that I feel perfectly describes the cornucopia of videos from Welsknight recently: "(Bdubs) WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" 🐍

[@Pickled_Monkey]

Wooden ceiling in the jail cells?! Seems like a potential escape route for the prisoners 😅

[@vi_ivy]

Open trapdoors on the wall could make good beds in the cells. You could even put two rows above one another to look like bunk beds

[@belindedireds]

You definitely need a glacier in one of the rooms left! Some snow and ice, and a lot of groceries on them!

[@TaydolfSwifter]

Communal chamberpots for the servants

[@TubbyTilly]

You could use hay bales for the straw beds in the jail.

[@benrex7775]

Since you lowered the ceiling of the prisons and you don't want doors, how about adding a trapdoor above each prison cell so you can enter them from on top?

[@brucekristy]

What about using hay bales in the floor for the stray beds in the dungeon? Great episode!

[@murple14]

10 seconds Crew - also happy cos it’s a wels video

[@thomasfplm]

3:32 Or you could make them with two little floors, beds on top and other stuff, like chests with clothes below (or vice versa).

[@Compieuter]

Maybe you could add a zombie villager in one of the prisons cells. Would be a nice little reference to the igloo prisons that are naturally generated. Or an illager if you want a really angry one.

[@e_m_m_a_0122]

11 seconds, we love Wels videos ❤

[@ravensshadow2179]

Dispensers facing up would work as a squat toilet you could add in cocoa beans or zombie flesh

[@sawyeriii]

Have an abattoir at the bottom floor tower by the prison cells

[@CursingVermin]

perhaps a lectern/open book(armor stand) for a guard's log sort of thing?

[@-Comet.]

Grian was slain by Sunday Driver

[@callow16]

Wels you can put a glow lichen in there there low lvl lights or a oxidized copper builb

[@-Brickbro1]

I love wells He gives me a reason to procrastinate school 😊😊😊

[@AkiMare]

Did you do your homework now?

[@Andrew-zc4qo]

Loving the vids. I don't mind the laid back style these backlog ones have!

[@SirChaosS]

when spawn proofing conflicts with aesthetics. for the dungeons, you'd want the lanterns on the wall away from the cells, not on the same wall. but i don't know if that will cut the light levels too low in the very back for spawn-proofing. Canonically the lights are for the guards, not the prisoners. And it would be really cool if there was a way to switch between normal lanterns in the daytime and soul lanterns at night.

[@thomasfplm]

2:05 Maybe the servants could have some windows so they can breath a little while they sleep

[@proffd972]

Make one tower room a barracks, the other armory with armorer working furnaces and all that.... then the room next tobthe pantry turn into the wine storage.

[@gracefoskett9563]

You could keep the high ceilings in the servant's quarters and do bunk beds!

[@Kneoria]

love the color in the servants quarters. maybe use trapdoors and carpets to make uncomfortable bunk beds for the dungeon?

[@thomasfplm]

0:12 Etho might be able to explain that to you.

[@derrick234]

You should add a little laundry room in one of the rooms
