Hermitcraft RECAP - Season 9 Week 77

[@ThePixelPear]

This was the largest cover-up in Hermit-craft history

[@wikiuser92]

Literally!

[@tahunuva4254]

A fitting end to the buttercup-goat war. Really put a lid on it. Edit: goddammit Zloy

[@iveharzing]

This is the winning comment of the week!

[@Kateykat]

Ha ha ha its funny but I hate it

[@Ca7iburn]

😂

Sooo, terraforming. Love it? Hate it? Admire it from afar? Baffled by the sheer magic?

[@arfb01]

It was magical!

[@Ranger12_]

LOVE TERRAFORMING! If the perimeter was a “flat pancake” it would look really bad.

[@E_tha_N3rd]

All of the above and more

[@dragonswafflesandfire3930]

I love terraforming in minecraft. Watching the whole group terraforming was mesmerizing

[@Animefanatic255]

Whenever I try to terraform it ends up looking like something from and eldritch dimension and not in a good way.

[@goldenwitherphoenix1389]

Welcome to hermitcraft, where no one is mentally stable and everyone is willing to drop everything to just mess with eachother. And it's amazing.

[@Hufflepuff_cookie]

Love this summary!

[@JalokimYT]

Can't wait for Grian's entire rock to disapear and magically apear in cub's museam. (Or at least one of the rocks.)

[@painted_moon_]

Cub really is becoming the British museum

[@Ivanfesco]

The docm prank was done on the 77th week... coincidence? probably

[@wikiuser92]

Oh, yeah, that's actually brilliant!

[@lsoukup96]

Technically it was done on the 76th week, the videos just came out a bit too late to be covered in last recap.

[@hyrumleishman3624]

I didn't notice that! That's awesome!

[@Nihilore]

“And lucky for Xisuma it’s in alphabetical order” this got a genuine lol from me, well done

[@Narzissist]

The entire server: Makes an enormous project that takes hours of hours of time Doc: Lever goes boom

[@GreyOrb]

That machine took like 8 hours if I remember correctly.

[@Lionhart-fw5nq]

but he himself didnt have to lift a finger in these 8 hours@@GreyOrb

[@CERISTHEDEV]

​@@Lionhart-fw5nqdo you think that the machines build themselfs?

[@GreyOrb]

I mean, he did finish by hand the strip with his tower since the machine couldn't go over that, but yeah.@@Lionhart-fw5nq

[@Nakaska]

@@CERISTHEDEV And the machines are not even designed by him, he has an entire team of redstoners to be thanked for that. So it's more like: few hermits vs the hivemind.

[@jacksoncorvus]

Anyone else notice that the Scarland ticket that Scar sold to Cub was likely the same kind he was trying to use in the turnstiles? In other words... it was still labeled as a "Carved Pumpkin" and hadn't been renamed to "Scarland VIP Ticket"...

[@rachelbradbury4682]

HE GOT A FAKE Scar: Sorry that will be five more diamonds for a replacement ticket. Thank You! Cub: No! I payed the first time! Scar: Im sorry but Queen Jellie's favourite Snack is diamonds!

[@PupAndPotsAdventures]

Yea I realized that too

[@Nyerguds]

Yep, when Impulse pointed that out I immediately realised that.

[@Npyne]

Cub didn't get a VIP ticket, just a day one. Plus, it was named 'Scarland Ticket' so I think it was real. I had to go back and check after the turnstile bit lol

[@jacksoncorvus]

@@Npyne damn. So we're certain Cub got a legitimate ticket. Would've been funny as hell to see the ticket get denied...

[@wikiuser92]

Shame the covered Perimeter won't make it to the world download, but at least Doc kept the Dragon Egg Dragon.

[@1st1anarkissed]

When Impulse disabled the dystopian sound system it was the most Dad move ever.

[@eloquentornot]

"Luckily for Xisuma [the list of people involved is] in alphabetical order" LOL! Also I love the kitty keyboard smash!!

[@darknessblades]

They should really upload 2 versions of the hermitcraft worlddownload 1 with the perimiter covered and one without

That would be amazing, but unfortunately it's already been uncovered again

Scar one day after covering the perimiter: allright thats done it's time for a little terraforming around scarland

[@Netbug009]

"It almost feels like the only way this could eacalate further is if the Buttercups just cover the whole peremeter... but surely they wouldnt go that far." - Me, days before they absolutely went that far.

[@Chigger]

Even though we know what the highlight of the video was, there's no denying that the clip of False's drift was incredibly skilled.

[@EnabiSeira]

It was beautiful.

[@benashack7566]

I can't wait to see Doc's retaliation prank

[@blackblade99009]

if doc were as smart as he claims he would just drop it.

[@emilyrattini8462]

I know Ren’s retaliating in the form of Scabland, a seedy, overpriced competitor theme park to Scarland. (When I first heard about it, I was worried that it would be a cosmetic redo for Scarland. Thank goodness.)

[@Triairius]

If he could _possibly_ one-up this prank, I’d love to see it.

[@squibkanotty99]

I can't even think of what he'd be able to do to top it (also nice pfp)

[@beeftips1628]

I honestly don’t know how he’d top this one, I’m waiting to see thought because I didn’t know how he’d top the chickens either, and he did.

[@Chronostra]

ngl, imo the highlight of last week of Hermitcraft is Doc's Thumbnail. props to the artist who drew that. that "huh" is perfect.

[@EternalVoid74]

Honestly with Pearl cleaning basically everything in the server, it’s not the goats world, it’s hers, and they just live in it, for fear of her snapping and bringing back 5am Pearl

[@Ranger12_]

Every Sunday is a good day for these reasons: The weekend Hermitcraft Recap Hermitcraft Recap Hermitcraft Recap AND…. The HERMITCRAFT RECAP!

[@Yourgmrgrl]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Grian asks, "What can he do?" The answer: He's DocM and he has pulled a serverwide prank before. Just ask him about what used to happen if you put a turtle egg at the coordinates of 0, 0, 0 on a Minecraft world. :P

[@dawnsoisson3140]

This will go down as the week of the biggest project in hermit history

[@maybe_aliens6473]

Red the cat has such a way with words. The title screen was the inspiration I needed for my day.

[@PixesEmma]

Red is _such_ a good kitty

[@briarpelt2333]

Red's input was invaluable to this week's recap. I don't think I could have understood anything so well without their insightful comments!

[@jsquire1331]

Doc is insane, and only Grian could've driven him to this level of insanity. Tbh one of the best weeks of Hermitcraft I've ever witnessed.

[@arrow_awsome]

sloy can you please tell red that i appreciate the all knowing knowledge at the beginning?

[@StepperBox]

"After they've taken it to bridge so does Beef," Oh sweet turn of phrase there! (Still think about 'the stakes have never been higher' from whatever season it was that. The one where Mumbo was a terrible triple agent)

[@jotasietesiete4397]

I'll admit blowing up the cover was somehow more satisfying than digging up the original perimeter was. But i think doc should have kept it. Afaik, if he just lit up the top the rates of the farms would go back to normal, since the mobspawning algorithm works from the bottom up

[@lulllaby]

That sadly wouldn't work. The spawning algorithm chooses a random XZ coordinate to spawn a hostile mob first. Then it checks for the highest block in the Y column of that XZ coordinate and finally chooses a random block within that height limit to attempt the spawn. This means, that if Doc would leave the roof of the perimeter on, those blocks would count as the highest in their respective Y columns and thus a lot of spawn attempts would happen randomly mid air and fail. That is why the most optimized farm is build as low as possible and has no blocks above.

[@TheHermitcraftRecap]

the short version as I understand it is that it works from the bottom up, but it also matters if there are higher spots or not as well, so the lid not just being above it but so high above it actually does mess with the rates... just not at a level us mortals would notice 🤷‍♂️ (or it was that way in the past at least, I presume it still is.) ~Ly

[@CoasterR3X]

Thanks for this again! I've had a very busy week so this really helped :) ❤❤

Just in case anyone’s wondering about decked out 2, tango is currently testing the first three levels and working out all the bugs. We’re almost there…

0:55 So we can expect 1 (one) episode from the Swede, and then he disappears (for me at least) for a couple of months, again.

Doc is going to find a way to grey goo the server in retaliation.

[@ChillyCholo_]

Misaligned STARGATE 🤣💙 perfect reference SG1 would be so proud.

So was I the only one who heard them say "What goes around, cubs around"? at 7:28

Where can I watch the full perimeter covering???? I refuse to believe that nobody was streaming at the time? And other than the Buttercup's videos, I've found shockingly little from the other 10 as to their thoughts, feelings, and footage.

@@orchidstream6640 but, but but but, someone has to have had the forethought to record it, right? I mean, it's impossible no one thought "Hey, maybe I should record for all those future generations the creation of a work of art to rival that of the painting of the Ceiling in the Sistine Chapel."

[@cartooncrazy9883]

Apparently it was about 14 hours of work iirc, definitely over half a day. They werent recording audio or anything because they were just hanging out while doing it, but several people had timelapses in their videos.

it IS the longest hermitcraft season! and they plan on keeping it going until Decked Out has finished I think :D

[@wikiuser92]

@@lenatunnissen369 Maybe they're keeping it going to make up for season 8 ending a bit prematurely.

[@boooksareamazing]

I don’t know but season 5 was 65 weeks, season 6 was 83 weeks and season 7 was 63 weeks. Season 9 is a bit longer than the average but I think there’s still some things that have not been finished like Decked Out so it might still go into the nineties. So I’m predicting it ending late this year before Christmas and maybe restarting early in 2024.

[@aaronlhaw2224]

A Stargate reference!!

[@KittenKatja]

If only the resource gathering and tunneling bedwars styled gamemode were an original idea. Sure, tunneling itself as part of bedwars hasn't been done before, but tunneling pvp is a minigame on Cytooxien. However, gathering resources to upgrade defense and offense and get the respawn of the opposing team is absolutely not new, and that completely free of resource spawners. I'm talking about the first 1.9 gamemode where every server was still on 1.8, but I don't remember which server it was on. It could be GommeHD, it could be Hypixel, or it could be some other Server I don't remember anymore.

[@aidanbyrne8267]

I wish they'd done something to make it so he couldn't immediately het rid of it. Like a layer of obsidian below or smthn

Why? They're not allowed to destroy each other's bases. Plenty of other ugly meadow biomes around.
