Rise up ladies and gentlemen

[@OliverBuchanan-nx6dd]

Lefties are the goat

[@Gracee710]

YEAAHH LEFTIES UNITE!

[@llbarcode]

WOOHOO!

[@OblivionWanderer]

Lefties rise up!!

[@Bradallen_100]

I just read his comment he put out about his new job, and I was thinking in my head. Oh, when will he upload again ? He did 2 minutes later, and that's so wired

[@jerrodholsopple6655]

Just recently found you as you started this series and I've got to say you are quickly becoming one of my favorites. You seem so down to earth and more grounded and relatable than almost every other Minecraft KZbinr and your builds are just as good. Watching you is like playing and just chilling with a friend. Please don't change as your channel grows!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I really appreciate this comment, thank you! That’s the exact vibe I go for so I don’t see myself changing anytime soon :)

[@grAPESgaming9]

Exactly

[@nlreactz]

I can vouch for this

[@HurpleMonkey]

Don't sweat the navigation of work-life balance. It's an important thing to take your time with. The episode was still very much worth the wait - the paths look great and I can tell that Member Hall is going to be epic! Thanks for including me in the member naming segment, by the way. :D

[@ImShrammyToo]

Of course! Thanks for becoming a shramalam!

[@marastia]

Muffin Man would be a funny name for the jack-o-zombie. Could even make a bakery for him lol

[@duvmangg2101]

Do you know the muffin man?

[@TheKweenBee]

If you don't have access to sea pickles for your pumpkin patch, you can also use spruce buttons on top to make it look like the stems have dried a bit. I usually mix in spruce buttons and sea pickles when making custom patches, but the buttons are way more accessible early-game.

[@rowanwillhide4061]

Motionless in White!! Love them, I got to see them a year ago. I’m loving this let’s play (and I do use the videos to fall asleep sometimes but I usually watch a couple times!!) I’m so excited for the world download!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I saw them a year ago too! lol

[@joshbell4235]

I cannot explain how much this series is relighting my spark for Minecraft, the whole gentle approach and just doing a build but pushing yourself by doing a custom tree, your voice is very calming too idk it's just everything I was looking for and it's inspired me to get back on my Minecraft world

[@hauntedbutter562]

Most likely will not see this but I think it would be funny if you moved the shovel in front of your house to beside the horse or cow area with a composter nearby for a manure bin

[@Bulbiesaur]

I liked this sort of "repair and rebuild" episode. Loved the improvements you made! The member hall looks great!

[@j.a.i.s_hptl]

I think calling the "spooky" Skeleton Leftie would be quite funny and fitting.

[@Undeercover]

Then may the zombie be the Rightie! xD Greetings from ~Ellors ❣️❣️❣️

[@georginaadam188]

a swing hanging from the part of the trees where they are "holding hands" would be such a cute detail

[@CathyShaw-jw1ub]

I agree, different colour leaves would be awesome ❤

[@choerrysoob3016]

this is my favorite minecraft series rn !

[@ImShrammyToo]

I’m glad you’re enjoying :)

[@rainersiecelnieks3301]

Mine to by far

[@tayh3645]

33:24 You could leave most of the top alone, and carve a small descending alcove with stalactites and stalagmites reminiscent of the Carlsbad caverns. And then maybe partially obscure the entrance with tall grasses and vines. You can keep it mostly dark if you want by using brown mushrooms or glow lichen to keep mobs from spawning, but without making it too bright.

[@ethy9186]

I really don’t know what it is about this series, I’ve never been one to watch Minecraft videos like I never went hard on this game but your videos are sooo relaxing for some reason. Not to simp about it too much but this has been great dude thanks for the hours you put in.

[@orteney.]

i have some fun building suggestions/ideas(for wayyyy later in your game 😭): build an underground city or sewage system, a conservatory or guard post/roundtable thingy, a temple, an enchanted forest w a grand tree thats super big (maybe w a hidden room inside or underneath), your own version of mount rushmore and add lampposts to your streets!

[@SunsetSlot]

As a stop gap for the Jack-o’-lantern issue is you could place buttons on top of them until you can get the turtle eggs. Also I think it would be cool if you made the members hall have at least one door slightly cracked “open”.

[@swaeplays]

I discovered your channel when you started this series. It’s been really awesome watching your world grow

[@BobaBushido]

A full autumn biome would be cool. Maybe the trees can even have a more yellowish/golden tint to their wood palette. Add leaves on the ground in the same way cherry blossoms were implemented. Would be a very unique area for sure

[@haydenlavecchia2371]

love the series! you should put a statue in the middle of the youtube hall to make the interior feel more grand and like a museum. Could be a bad idea, I'm just spitballing

[@ShootersVoyage]

I’m new to this playthrough. Wanted to get politics off my recommended so I started to watch Minecraft videos to change it. So glad I found you! Catches up from your first vid on this series to now! Build looks great keep up the great work!

[@1mattwilson83]

Have you considered using your bed as a spawn point outside of caves you enter? then you don't have to run far, if you die.

[@ImShrammyToo]

I probably should start doing this lol

[@REFAZED_Gamer]

I spent a week or so looking for a survival series that wasn’t just trying to get as much done as fast as possible. I found your first video of this series and I got all caught up within 2 days. Love the series and the cats, best of luck.

[@keiraroberts397]

I would love to see a fountain somewhere!! Maybe in front of the Member Hall? The builds are all turning out great, I love this series!!

[@CursedGuardianLimbo]

Unsure if you would be opposed to switching "keep inventory upon death" on or not, as everyone has their own play-styles! I personally like to have it so I don't lose everything when I die in Minecraft just cuz it's way too stressful for me to lose things, or try to decide what I can or can't take with me while playing Obviously up to you and how you like to play! This has been one of my favourite series so far and I wanna say thanks for making it! Such a comforting vibe to help relax to and it's been super fun! Don't worry too much about frequent upload times, life happens! We understand!

[@ImShrammyToo]

i personally like the risk of losing all my stuff, even though it can be super annoying haha

[@CursedGuardianLimbo]

@@ImShrammyToo that's fair!

[@gamerpeck8517]

Suggestion and Q&A: Edit: 43:48 it appears you've read my mind lol For your tree next episode, you could put a Weeping Willow in the middle of your pond (and if drowned start spawning you can put a few axolotls to deal with them, they'll be in no danger don't worry) Also, nature's compass is a great QOL mod that helps with finding biomes Q1: Are there any mods or modpacks that enjoy playing? For example: Ars Nouveau or RLCraft Q2 What's your favorite thing to do in Minecraft other than building? Q3 what's one thing you like to do to make the monotonous stuff less boring? (I sing for example)

[@calaneedoolittleodell3190]

Since you asked, Mosquitoes actually are important in their environments! They're a family of flies, and like many flies, have just a ridiculous amount of eggs (a given female may lay up to 200 eggs in her lifetime). When they eventually hatch into larva, they become food sources for many different animals, including predatory aquatic insects, fish, and frogs (with some animals specializing in hunting mosquito larva!). In their adulthoods, they'll also become prey for predatory flying insects, spiders, and birds. As adults, they also are mostly focused on pollination, with females only drinking blood when they're preparing to lay more eggs, and males not drinking blood at all. There are over 3,500 species of mosquito, and less than 100 of them are actually confirmed vectors of disease (although, there are about 200 that are not confirmed but suspected vectors). Meaning less than 10% of mosquito species are suspected or established vectors of diseases that affect humans.

[@calaneedoolittleodell3190]

Can't really defend them on the biting thing tho, that'll never not suck.

[@WinchesterxNL]

For your walls. If you occasionally put in a stair, slab or a wall instead of a full block, you're able to play a bit more in terms of depth, and not just shading. Makes the retaining walls look like they have been there a while and shown signs of wear as well as slowly becoming overgrown with moss. (If you take this tip to heart you can name the spooky skeleton after me)

[@alpha531]

Hey brother man, I wanted to say thank you first and foremost. I've been having a hard time serving over seas in the Air Force and and this series has helped me in so many ways! You helped me find new creativity in minecraft and you have helped me feel not-so-alone. I got some medical issues going on and I am in my room quite a bit because of it. You're a chill guy who is easy to listen to and you have earned my patronage. For the block I could be named after, could it be the Ender Dragon Egg? If not maybe an enchanted Diamond sword, because if you need glasses like me it kinda loos like the Air Force emblem upside down, I've just never been able to get one in my worlds so I'm hoping I can at least be one in yours! Anyways sorry for the rant, thank you for everything that you do and the joy that you spread, keep rocking!!

[@reksio_xyt8733]

Just an Fyi he said he said he won't be naming the dragon egg after anyone

[@ImShrammyToo]

Hey man! I’m so glad I’m able to be a bit of entertainment for you and I really appreciate you becoming a member. As someone has already said, I’ve chosen to not name someone after the dragon egg, only because I don’t want to name someone after a limited item. But I will certainly name you after a sword, or I could go with a dragon head to still go with the ender dragon vibe? It’s up to you man, I’m good with either! Thanks for watching my stuff :)

[@alpha531]

@@ImShrammyToo 10 seconds after I made my comment you said this and I forgot to update it! The dragon head would be cool and that's what I'll go with! Again thank you for the awesome content brother man!

[@ryancollins6958]

Q&A 1.how do you fill in empty space on your world. 2. How do you find way to decorate the outside of your builds. You should try moving your shovel to where it looks like it’s leaning against your house where it already has a lean in it

[@AtlasAttakus]

15:28 mosquitoes are an integral part of the food web, without which many obligate and facultative insectivores would struggle to survive. Also, mosquitoes only take blood meals (bite you) if theyre a reproducing female; otherwise, they’re important pollinators that help keep biodiversity up. We may not like them, but without mosquitoes our ecosystem would probably look a lot different! Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood entomologist :) P.S. you’re videos are such a wonderful corner of the internet, so glad I found your channel!

[@trexelk]

Thank you for picking my question! 😎 Wish you luck on your new job!

[@Bryant_P]

Thankfully stumbled across your videos 2 days ago and have been binge watching all your episodes! Love the series.

[@duvmangg2101]

Hi Shram! I hope the new job is suiting you well! Congrats on getting it. Loving how it is all coming along! Slowly looking like a hustling village. I hope when you build the oaks perhaps you can make a classic orchard style build where you can have 'apples' or item-frammed red blocks.

[@seaspickle-time]

LEFTIES RISE UP!!! ❤️‍🔥 (I’m a leftie too! But the fun thing is, my mother and multiple friend were also lefties, and as an European, we had desks where you could write comfortable while being a rightie or a leftie) A Q for you about this: did/do you have any left handed friends? Hope you answer!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I actually don’t think I have any left handed friends, now that I think about it lol thanks for the question!

[@greyson21]

I write and use most things left handed, but I also do some thing right handed. Not ambidextrous, just an odd ball. Lol. But I also played baseball and can attest that it was an advantage as a pitcher.

[@Isamarae]

My uncle's least favourite global trend is that safety measures on tools are designed for right handed people.

[@funkyano]

I think what would work great for the council would be an open gate on the ground, like a castle gate that is laid flat on the ground being open

[@curlygrain4389]

Lefties 4 lyf If you turn the render distance way down after you die it’ll give you way more time to find your stuff. It can’t respawn if it isn’t rendered in

[@hugelunatic3322]

Names for the skeleton and zombie: Pumpkin King (skeleton) and to second another post the zombie Rob. xD Maybe instead of breaking your bed all the time, create some benches using beds and trap doors along your path, and decorate them? Perhaps also with a light post?

[@bcatjr1699]

I (a lefty) also used to play baseball! I played for 11 years, and most of them were spent at first base. Since my glove was in my right hand it was easier to pick off hits coming between first and second, so I got glued to first base, for the greater good of baseball!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I too was glued to first base when I wasn’t pitching lol first played it when I was like 6 and was stuck there forever

[@dragondoodles78]

Having the red inside the council member hall makes it look like the KZbin logo!! Great choice if you ask me ❤❤

[@ImShrammyToo]

Didn’t even think of that lol but it works

[@princessstacii1]

Mosquitos are pollinators! And in places they are native, they are very important ones at that!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I get it, but they still stink

[@princessstacii1]

@ImShrammyToo the freaking worst! I live in the swamps along the Texas/Louisiana border so I have em 10 months of the year lol but two things can be true, we can walk AND chew bubble gum

[@rituals080]

put some lanters hanging on the side of the retaining wall by the sairs y your starter house or pumpkin lanters (keep up the series man, much love)

[@pyrosbot]

Hi Shrammy! I love this series! Its so relaxing to watch a slower paced series. For the walls in the council hall, it might be cool to add a bit of calcite between the quartz and diorite to make a smoother gradient. All your builds are awesome! I can't wait to see more and good luck with your new job :D

[@ImShrammyToo]

Thank you! I definitely intended on using calcite, I just got lazy and didn’t want to gather any lol

[@Cjchicken02]

Motionless in white and the home team are two of my favorite bands, hell yea

[@bestlegoman]

a quick suggestion: for the channel hall, i would recommend (at least trying) adding white concrete powder between the diorite and quartz to smooth out the transition between the two. Ik itd be a pain to gather but i think itd be worth it

[@grAPESgaming9]

You should make a tree house it would look sick next to a pond, but i have no clue what you could put inside (maybe you could but a your old armoury or things that are iconic in your series or a house for your pets) just keep it up, I am sure u will do well at your knew job

[@de5tar]

Loved the episode! Don't you think it would be super cool to have a bridge spanning across the gap in the mountain over onto that little hill, where you could build a cool lookout tower that is able to survey the entire starter area?

[@jillybean9071]

Loved the episode! Chill vibe, tidying things up and making more progress. Dont feel like you have to cater to us! It is much more enjoyable for viewers to watch when youtubers love what they are doing. We can tell when a youtuber is doing things out of obligation or has lost their inspiration. You do your thing and do what you enjoy.

[@jean-marib9229]

Tree Count 9: 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Could you maybe put a bubble elevator inside your enchanting station? Maybe as a secret passageway? Can’t remember when last I saw someone do that.. I love making those in my worlds 🙌🏻🥳

[@bdg684]

I actually love this series so much its crazy

[@SportsC0rp]

[@samuel_loginov]

Q&A: what sports do you play? what keeps you motivated to keep playing and building the amazing builds? how long does it take you to build them? love you shrammy!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I’m still going through the questions from a few episodes ago so I’m just gonna answer this here. I only played baseball growing up, but I’m a huge football fan. The main thing that keeps me motivated is all of you guys! I love making videos that people like watching. And my builds usually take like 4-8 hours to complete, from gathering materials to building.

[@samuel_loginov]

@ wow thanks for replying keep up the work!

[@nickisam2378]

I hadn't played minecraft in years (I literally *just* learned that they added bundles ??? in 2020 ??) until I started watching this series, and I just created a new survival world and I've fallen in love with the game all over again.

[@liliwyx_badger]

I got so excited when you mentioned my comment! Glad I could help, even if you don't use it in this world 😊

[@blackole135]

Two episodes in and you were added to my always watch list. So far I’ve only watched this series, especially because I’m sick of everything having to be hardcore. And I watch Fwhip movies to fall asleep, so yours would be perfect

[@MerccreM15]

Mining the other day and I remembered your reasoning for putting torches to your right was because you're a leftie and it made me realize I always put them to the right too, but I'm right-handed lol. I think it's just easier to flick to the right maybe? Or it could be one of those weird things where large % of people just subconciously do things the same way just naturally

[@ImShrammyToo]

I am way more comfortable flicking to the right in fps games so I’m sure that has a lot to do with it too. I just like when they’re on the left when I’m going home haha

[@jerrodholsopple6655]

If the torches are on my left I'm leaving if they're on the right I'm returning

[@thessiablues]

I think I’d be neat if you made a tunnel of trees over the path to the council hall and mix in some lanterns in the trees. Kinda enchanted like

[@sys_tem_]

Make sure not to burn yourself out!! Area looking awesome

[@chrisgrassa69]

For the colorful block, I would say maybe Amethyst? Although you’ll need Silk Touch. I agree that Warped Logs would look cool too because with shaders, the vein design pulses a bit (depending on the shader). I think Amethyst would be sick.

[@chrisgrassa69]

Also, don’t apologize for the upload schedule. It’s fine because your effort shows in the content. I’ve actually started implementing your idea of storage per block should be in its own building, so I thank you for the idea. I’m a new subscriber and I’m happy to be here. Keep up the good work, dude!

[@rohana5173]

Love me some Shrammy Also congrats on the new job man!

[@ImShrammyToo]

Thanks!

[@tylereckert1712]

Shrammy I would totally recommend listening to While She Sleeps and id recommend the song Silence Speaks. Absolutely amazing band its got metalcore vibe to them.

[@jeremylince9307]

Walls are too smooth and flat in my opinion. Maybe some areas where the wall rises slightly above the dirt or dips slightly below the dirt? Maybe a section or two where the wall has been rebuilt or reinforced with a different looking brick and/or footers. Maybe the occasional light post attached to the wall. Maybe a water feature coming out of or over the wall. Maybe a few holes using stairs and slabs, or even a section of the wall where it's collapsed. Just throwing out some ideas.

[@firekrotch4679]

If you want orange/red leaves there are texture packs that change birch leaves to orangish red leaves, I personally love the pack especially since I don't use birch quite that often

[@Jakes.Visuals_]

Hey sir I find your series very satisfying to watch and I had a question for you! "What is something you're proud of but don't talk about often?" Also. if you're looking to listen to something very good and new. I would recommend listening to a band called Dead By April, it's a similar genre to Motionless In White.

[@ImShrammyToo]

Thanks for the band suggestion! lol and to answer your question, it’s probably my KZbin channel. I normally don’t bring it up but I’m really proud of how much I’ve grown while uploading Minecraft. I always want to talk about it more with people but I don’t want to seem like I’m bragging

[@gagelabrake8578]

I think a few custom trees with some ores mixed in should looks nice

[@georgia9460]

Sup Shram, Q&A question here, do you have any plans to incorporate builds amongst the snow on the mountains? Maybe a winter-themed build, a frozen pond with snowmen , etc. Love the videos!!

[@ImShrammyToo]

I don’t have any plan set in stone yet but those are some great suggestions!

Speaking of being a lefty, the amount of things I self taught myself to do with my right hamd just to be easier or more comfortable. Cutting being the big one since I am a teacher and end up doing a lot of cutting. And it's hard to find left handed siccisors unless you special order especially in the school district.

[@NotxDeeFRO]

i recently started a new world with the intention of a slower pace gameplay focusing on build style more, i usually have farms everywhere that look ugly but give me everything i need, and honestly im enjoying it more playing slower, spending time collecting items and using low level tools

[@Cellybeans]

thank u for the timelapse to that tune again it’s so satisfying

The reason your cat scratches on the litter box is maybe because when they are outside they scratch trees to mark their territory. Our cat does this too and he never was out😅
