"he said he was very good at this game, I don't think so" -my aunt who has never touched this game but is pretty certain she could do that slime jump

[@happystevesix]

Historians in the future: "And they say that XB is still wondering cubfan's labyrinth to this very day"

[@nmgg6928]

Some one needs to start a side business of air dropping food into the labyrinth for trapped and struggling hermits lol

[@SunnyD626]

I love the speeded up parts in the maze with the music, it’s not only fun but also shows the huge amount of effort you put into getting through each part of the maze

[@monatae9725]

escaping the water maze just as the damage ticks started was so clutch!

[@Powerpont]

My favourite part of the video is 0:01 to 54:50

[@stnrlyfegaming]

Somebody needs to pin this ngl lol (haven’t even watched it yet [about to] but I already know it’s gonna be amazing! Cuz this is HERMITCRAFT we talking about here! lol ❤❤❤)

[@purplepuddlenut]

I'm really excited for the polar bear habitat. That mob does not get enough love. You inspired me to make my first guardian farm, and every time I do some purrty I hear 'Thats not bad!' in my head. 🤣

[@Dr.Smiley1652]

If anyone is wondering why impaling doesn't work on drowned it is because they are undead mobs not aquatic mobs and impaling does extra damage to aquatic

[@harizwain4969]

Wait the impaling dealing more damage in water(also rain) is bedrock only?

[@fluidsuspect]

@@harizwain4969correct. java impaling does extra damage to mobs classified as aquatic, in the same way smite affects the undead

[@jacksoncorvus]

Bedrock edition Impaling works on anything in water. Yes, that includes rain. Players are affected as well. GODS I wish this was the way it worked in Java

[@saffral]

I love that quiz. Cub has such random knowledge. Impaling is so unintuitive on Java where it affects all water mobs except for drowned because drowned are technically undead, so they're affected by Smite instead. On Bedrock it affects all mobs currently touching water (including in the rain), so it's much more useful on that version. Which means that Impaling is exclusively useful against guardians, turtles, axolotls, and dolphins (other fish can be killed with a decent sword in one hit) and it feels wrong somehow. But if you ever need to clear out dolphins the trident is the best weapon to use... you monster.

[@thomasfplm]

In my opinion, drowned should be affected by both, smite and impaling.

[@saffral]

@@thomasfplm Agreed, maybe one day Minecraft Java will remove the limitation of each mob having only a single type of damage. (Though it's probably low priority if there's only a single hybrid mob out there. Waiting for an undead spider.)

[@FharishAhmedPortfolio]

Cub and Tango love it when the other Hermits suffer... 😂

[@LynnL-l9h]

Not me watching this video and trying to help you jump by wanting to jump. 😂

[@olencone4005]

7:44 "I have no clue what I'm gonna do for the floor" ...if you have a LOT of spare time (and even more colored glass... and even more patience haha!) you could do one of those infinity gradients to make the moat look suuuuper deep ^_^ I like the black concrete -- it adds a really nice pop in contrast to the overall look!

[@Eric_Fate]

It is fun watching you attempt the maze independently from Joe and Jev. You're actually doing better than both of them, even with Cub coaching them through some parts.

[@DrKvo]

A glazed terracotta pattern on the floor, or a fog effect would both be cool. You could even include a mirrored effect in the fog effect if you felt like doing extra work. The fog effect would be spawn proof too.

[@GothBoyUK]

When xB opened the chest full of keys I imagined the scene in 'Mean Girls' (the original film) where Regina George discovers what Kalteen Bars actually do. 🤣

[@Twentynyne]

the contrast that the concrete has with the deeplate is a good detail. I also think the path blocks are next to blue and green on the color spectrum and they go good, people don't know what they're talking about.

[@cappared]

Trivia section - 2 tall flowers can't be placed in flower pots and it is A CRIME against decor

[@alysoffoxdale]

I was so hoping that the new bigger pots would allow you to pot bigger plants, but noooOOOOooooo! Instead you can't even pot the little plants in those. Grrrr...

[@corpseinthesky6111]

Congrats on getting every question in the maze quiz right on first try 😇

[@vixengypsy]

I love that you're attempting Cub's Maze & I agree, more quick exits would be awesome!

[@Pickled_Monkey]

"Son of a biscuit" My new favorite cuss word 😂

[@lickenchicken143]

you must be new to xb videos. welcome.

[@BraveSoulPL]

I am impressed how much patience xB has :D

[@thomasfplm]

10:50 If you want to add more colour, you can use waterlogged top slabs and put coral and coral fans on top. 11:22 You can also add water on those to make something like a decorative pool.

[@MR13IGH]

"I mean that's permanent" ... indicates to guardian Temple.... yeah that one that you tore down and rebuilt 😂😂😂 Really enjoying this builds xB and your reaction to the commenters. You keep doing you, that's why I'm here anyway! Thanks for the hours reality break

[@monatae9725]

LOL I forgot, he did do that. 😂 semi-permanent, then?

[@Sim-Peasant]

scar took 5 hours to finish the maze in a live stream. there are actual keys in a chest somewhere in the continued portion of the maze. good luck finding it. XD

[@StarshipToMars]

The quick way out from there would be to break the bed, put it back again, and go hug a guardian. Well done for getting as far as you did. It's no mean feat. Btw, if you can set a faster time than Scar, you might win a heavy core.

[@thomasfplm]

I think that if you place a bed exactly in the same location before dieing, you go back there. There was a life series that had something like that. If I'm not mistaken it was in Double Life at Pearl's tower that someone used her bed, it was stolen, Pearl replaced it and the person came back there. I think that when you click the bed, it saves the coordinates and when you die it checks if there is a bed or respawn anchor there, but I'm not sure about the mechanics and I might be misremembering.

[@TheRealWormbo]

@@thomasfplm Correct, your respawn location is indeed stored as location and when it's needed the game looks if it can find an unobstructed bed or respawn anchor (whichever the player is allowed to use in their respawn dimension) there. If it can, the spawn location is picked around that block.

[@thomasfplm]

5:18 When you talked about making an habitat for the polar bears, I already thought you'd flood it and put ice. 😅

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

I think at this point your classic expletive of "dangit, Bobby!" could easily be replaced with "dangit, Cubby!". Frustrating as it probably is to plzy, it's very fun watching you experience every single circle of hell prepared by Cub in this labyrinth lol. Also I'm not usually a huge fan of plain path-block roads like you've built, but the colour actually goes pretty well as a middle shade between the blue-green prismarine & the orange accents. Very nice!

[@vinot8374]

season 10 has been going for what, 6 months now? and I still didnt even notice that "the nueve" was wrong, because I've heard it for so long in the duration of s9, it just feels natural in the intro. so when xb laughed and "dangit"ed, it took me a second hahahah

[@TruthIsTheNewH8]

Mojang should hire you to remodel the ocean monument and other structures. I love a lot of the other Hermit's builds but ive really come to love yours the most this season. Theres something i love about taking an existing structure and turning it into something amazing. I am an artist and i often take objects and create something else from them. I love your base.

[@wchasec]

I was on the edge of my seat in the water maze 😮‍💨

[@sunzhiren]

A maze is 2 pieces no matter how complex. If you just stick to one wall, you will find every dead end on that side of the maze until you reach the exit. You can do it!

[@tchotchonyt2442]

Unless it's an extra tricky one that includes verticality and has, say, a ladder up/down to the next part somewhere in the middle.

[@Jockymcbock]

@@tchotchonyt2442that's just 4 pieces of 2 mazes!

[@hihogandalfaway]

I'm pretty sure Cub specifically built it so that trick would not be useful

[@IsochronyxMC]

If the goal of the maze is within its perimeter rather than on the perimeter, it can be located on an 'island' that doesn't connect to the perimeter at all. This causes the left-/right-hand rule to fail. Multiple 'islands,' either nested or separate, make it even harder.

[@JacksonMcKay95]

I wonder how much more I could accomplish with XB's level of persistence and determination.

[@MinurielVilquen]

Those super close unexpected finishes with both the slime block jumps and the water maze were amazing!

[@graymeeple9620]

The base is looking great. Regarding the bottom level, two words: Roller Derby! :D

[@arthurschexnaydre7267]

Cub specifically said he was going to build the maze so that hermits couldn't cheese it by sticking to one side or the other. He built the path first then added dead ends and circles/squares around to make sure it couldn't be cheesed.

[@Zutanni]

"Left is Law" Its my Pathfinder group's go to standard for when we run into a split in a dungeon and we need to figure out which path we want to take.

[@spacephantomranger]

wow. that last minute soulsand was such a find! sometimes its better to be lucky than skilled hehe!

[@Gojibeere99]

0:26 hearing "anyway, enough about me" not even half a minute into the video that we all watch TO HEAR ABOUT HIM and HIS CONTENT was kind of hilarious :D

[@piemy]

“Have no fear cub is here.”

[@aserta]

45:27 protip: in a cave or mine, always touch the wall with your right hand AKA the right hand rule, which means you always follow the wall on your right. You eventually come out of any area. Applies to mazes too. :)

[@Idran]

Unfortunately that only works for mazes if all the walls in the maze are connected eventually to the outer wall and the start and end are also both in the outer wall. Cub built the labyrinth so that isn't true specifically so that trick wouldn't work. :(

[@Corvinwhite]

I have no criticism to give I will say your monument looks awesome and you are very respectable

[@raynman9574]

The King of Persistence / never-giving-up / blooody mindedness :)

[@DrKvo]

The underwater music was a nice touch.

[@somethinsomethingelse]

The xb frustration noises really make this

[@Osmotic]

I like the black concrete approach

[@vinot8374]

53:22 I think I finally get why I love ocean guardians so much. sometimes they behave just like a puppy hehehe

[@emcustard]

Just walking off the edge at 37:50 really made me laugh

[@elijahcourtney7925]

love your vids, nice change of pace compared to ur usual super fast videos, although i enjoy them too

[@wonktootie]

That was so clutch how you held on so long without food at the end of the slime block stage xD Well done!

[@quishquash5973]

What about some kind of mural or stained glass window on the bottom floors? Just a thought.

[@bensonbenson8729]

Talk to Joe Hills to see what he is doing to keep his water clear of ice in that ice biome he is working in. I think it has to do with stairs on all the edge source water blocks.

[@jasonfreitas6845]

Stairs. I think buttons work too

[@thomasfplm]

But you also have to keep it widout any other full blocks.

[@Midori9400]

DK if it still works but by placing glass at build height it can't snow on the water and will stop it from turning into ice

[@bensonbenson8729]

That is how Cub did it this season for the labyrinth

[@pancakesbrp7613]

The polar bears just chilling 😂

[@Netbug009]

Cub in one of his making of videos literally went out of his way to say he made it easier, so watching everyone still have mental breakdowns is deeply amusing XD

[@TheFozyx]

what about a coral forest surrounding it in the flooded area?

[@eloquentornot]

:D I love your intros! The base looks so cool with black concrete, I love the way it looks like pure shadow! It was so awesome when you just managed to make it through the swim maze!!!

[@friar-n3f-potts]

Fortunately, Cub is a mad-man, if you go all left or all right it won't work as, Cub has made the maze so this method doesn't work.

[@r.chambers4792]

Your base is looking great. I like the way the black looks. I enjoyed watching you go through Cub’s Labyrinth. Keep up the good work!

[@ladyanna1031]

you stayed with way longer than i would have.. i would have punched my way out ! lol crazy good maze though! good for you staying with it :)

[@pancakesbrp7613]

I think it would look awesome if there was a statue on each side of the entrance!

[@tigerlily6968]

There are checkpoints through the different stages of the maze

[@TheGrumpBunny]

“Probably Scar” Definitely Jevin!

[@britth2190]

Hi! You are one of the few creators that i somehow know the intro of off by heart and with this intro i made the exact same mistake with using the wrong word at the end😂 love your videos! They are so comforting and put a smile on my face every time i watch them. It warms my heart every time i see the like and subscribe animation with you and your dog, ive been watching you since you first put it up and its amazingly cute

[@Jockymcbock]

I always forget how much i love the hd vanilla textures till i watch your vids!

[@limon430]

i felt so much pain while watching Scar's stream lol. You can cut off anything time and go back later, no need a quick exist. Jevin placed the head to mark where his death. i watched Cub's videos and knew how much efforts he's put, but i do think part of Labyrinth requires more instruction, like guide the direction. Scar got some general guides when Cub was hanging around so he didn't struggle too much on this kind of stuff. btw you did so great on parkour! although its definitely a torture, im looking forward to you completing the whole thing.

[@ianwheeler8743]

Great video, very funny watching you figure out the maze. One thing I think I you could do to your base is change the dots on top to be sea lanterns. I did that with my monument and I think it looks sick.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Halfway through that single jump you did a timelapse of... DOUBLE JUMP! You need to backup to the edge of the platform, fump to the edge the jump to the slime block, this gives you the extra half block of height.

[@silverbunny2464]

What do you use to get ideas for the basis you make? I make mage basis and basis but sometimes I have trouble coming up for an idea for a mage base

[@SDWNJ]

Cub could put a roof on the maze and have ladders up to the roof at the entrance to each new section so you could leave and come back to that point later.

[@eleazarpyscher8569]

This episode was a-mazing

[@Russianbluez]

ending it the way you did just makes me think of you yelling out for cub to come get you

[@StarNanny]

When you said look at this, I first thought you were referring to the pattern of snow layers on the floor….thought oh, that’s cool! But no. 🤭

[@kf7872]

You have much more patience than me for doing parkour. Amd driving yourself insane. And yes, I canonly assume Cub hates y'alls 🤣

[@FaithlessCleric42]

The black tunnel looking arch things look amazing, I would add one or two blocks of depth into it. Overall your base is looking like a solid 10/10

[@GothBoyUK]

More a-mazing content from The xB!

[@piemy]

A-maze-ing door!

[@gambit3193]

I recon doing glass fog effects with ice spikes for the polar bears would look great

[@seanw159]

I feel like I got a workout watching this 😆 I was tensing my body with every jump lmao

[@neocelestia]

Okay, that was bizarre! XD When XB did his intro, I was thinking "the Nueve!" in my head and then he went and said it! lmao! Get out of my brain, XB!!!

[@mandyhardin-yv7yw]

The music during the bounce part of the maze 😂

[@jeremymathias2280]

you have the patience of a saint...i have been triggered for 2 full episodes now watching this 🤣 Cub is a 1st class sadist

[@dranorter]

It's really interesting how you would say "not a clue" and then the correct answer was your last guess. Shows that Cub was focusing on questions where the answer is really counterintuitive. You could've improved your score by choosing randomly!

[@alnatex]

two designs I think might look cool is: 1. extende the glass floor at the entrance to fully mirror the shape on the toweres instead of having it cut off at with a straight edge and 2. instead of turning the spikes on the blck roofs orange just make an orange line underneath them

[@larinanne]

Love the base! Love the Labyrinth run! Keep going xB, thanks for the Sunday movie 😁

[@cheesecakeprincess9228]

I never noticed before but I really like that shader for the honey and amethyst block textures. Really enjoying your maze runnings =D and it IS meant to be difficult, so you can definitely feel good for how far you're getting. I agree that the main checkpoints would be better if there was a way to exit tho >

[@aamocryp]

barely started but I do love the idea of a polarbear habitat

[@gillyt2752]

What if you use black glass with the black concrete on the base so it could give the illusion of a tunnel or just going further back into the building, if you wanted to you could make water tunnels with secret places in them seeing as the floor is flooded, it could be really fun to boat under your base and maybe you could have an entrance right in the middle leading up to your main floor, I think it looks amazing and can only get better as you find out what you want to do.

[@volehunter]

If you want to stop auto ice-ification, place glass at build height. A block over it will stop it from freezing. I think glass works in that situation. It should stop snow too I think.

[@the_last_refrigerator]

Hello XB, regarding if you do want to change the path blocks on your base (9:00), I think snow blocks would fit nicely with the rest of the color scheme with the blue-ish white and the biome. (snow layers would be even better for spawn proofing but that is a lot of work). I hope you take my comment into consideration, all the best; some random on the internet.

[@sunnyreads_8]

You made it further than I ever could. I think the hermits should phone a friend to drop them an elytra and rockets when they need a break. Or an enderchest at each bed

[@hejthenerd]

Maybe instead of black concrete, try blackstone? To keep the dark contrast, but also have some texture? Looks good either way, and I trust your skill! Keep it up

[@Ironsight_Army]

I was thinking black concrete powder would have ben a good option if that area was not going to be flooded

[@jacobrobinson7395]

4:01 I think the contrast looks super cool. Do you think it would look good to push it concrete back one more block and as black glass in front to add depth?

[@Heisenbergize]

I commend you for keeping at it. I enjoy watching your maze run, and the sped up scenes of you trying again and again are quite funny 😅. Cub could do an introductory video where he explains minecraft physics and how to do certain jumps :D Hermits just seem to try things again and again, not necessarily trying to understand why it's failing, but following some brute force approach 😇

[@puttanesca621]

Cub could add an underground minecart track for checkpoints with a paper password for re-entry without spoilers.

[@Qilue2179]

I know a guy who always says "if your gonna insult me, at least be creative about it!"

[@Yesat-Erday]

Yes a maze goal is kinda to look like the same maze all over the place :P And the A-MAZE-ing part will definitely be more maze

[@sordidknifeparty]

Blackstone is a nice option between deep slate and black concrete

[@Ninjalette666]

Ooh that black concrete just pops nicely! I likey!! The bottom would be cool as a mix of both. All water would have looked too boring

[@skelamegasaurus905]

you should do glass gradient on the floor i feel like that would look really cool especially with the size of it, might be a bit of work tho.

[@carlnemcok]

dead leaves from the mesa would look great around the path, add a slightly darker brown texture around maybe doors or archways.
