Hermitcraft 10: Cuboom Fireworks Shop! (Ep. 10)

Cuboom! Welcome back to Minecraft with Cub from the Hermitcraft Season 10 server! Today Cub meets with @bdoubleo@bdoubleo to build a firework show at his base to promote the Firework shop. Then, after mass producing some fireworks, we visit the Hermitcraft shopping district to construct our shop!

"Cuboom" is an absolutely amazing name

[@alfredochamlati6766]

It really is

[@Ry9022]

Where's the Cuboom? There should be an earth shattering Cuboom.

Cub you should offer a service where you rig a custom firework to mailboxes on the server. They would go off whenever someone gets new mail

[@camslam8245]

THIS! Such a good idea.

[@Aaron-M00J]

100% YES! Then Hermits wouldn’t miss any mail!

[@isabellefaguy7351]

I bet Scar would buy that.

[@Aaron-M00J]

@@isabellefaguy7351 Exactly who I had in mind, lol.

[@DeveusBelkan]

I was thinking he could try a Scar type sales pitch where he promises that if they take up his services, he can install a firework display at their shops to increase profits by 500%. Of course, it would be Cub's profits, but they don't need to read the fine print.

[@patrickwrx]

Cub needs to promote the use of fireworks as crossbow ammo. Does good damage and looks awesome

[@simic0racle157]

yeah he cold also sell max break boxes for max damage from the crossbow

[@omariboyd2737]

Get 2 or more teams of Hermits and build some obstacles(like paintball/laser tag) in a confined space like on top of Magic Mountain, Wels' base, shopping district and even future bases like Impulse's cyberpunk city. They could have a game of rocket warfare. Could be good!

[@julianthebagel2299]

Iskall is charging 2 diamonds a stack of normal rockets so you can definitely up the pricing.

[@jamess.7811]

that's really cheap

[@bargen0w]

@@jamess.7811 i mean, impulse and jevin were selling last season like 4-5 diamonds per shulker box full of rockets lol but yeah thats definitely cheap

[@hieronymusnervig8712]

No, leave it at 1/4th the price. Let us watch the broke Hermits fly with explosive rockets.

[@solarprogeny6736]

I really don't think he can be charging any higher than he currently is for what is essentially a late-game cosmetic item that's hardly ever used. He's already having to work really hard to create the demand where there is none... also gotta realize the main customer base for cosmetic fireworks is probably going to be the more aesthetic/building/comedy oriented hermits, and many of them are flat BROKE, we're talking zero diamonds in their name compared to the redstoners and farmers

[@Maxamillion5555]

Cub what if you put the fireworks on the side of the glass panes so they are vertical? Like on all 4 sides

[@sirtainlee8725]

If someone complains about the price, tell them, "those are the breaks."

[@grondhero]

🤣 🎆

[@jwhitely7]

If you had blast protection, could you exclusively use explosive fireworks to travel? Now that's advertising

[@sirtainlee8725]

BDubs: can I get hurt? Cub: only if you're over top of them Cub proceeds to build a randomly launched fireworks dispenser under the floor of his shop.

[@Vangdok]

I would love to see Cub organize a server event to do a huge firework display. He could sell tickets to the other hermits. Make souvenirs. Have a fireworks sale table. Partner with other hermits to sell refreshments and play music in time with the fireworks.

[@Stormageddon2015]

As long as it isn’t Grian’s

[@Fefshtr]

that would be really cool, particularly with something like offenbach perhaps, but that may be too big of an undertaking...

[@lunarlakes]

@@Stormageddon2015 why not?

[@solarprogeny6736]

he could sell his firework as a "firework potluck" concept where each hermit gets to buy one firework to add to the final display

[@Wearywastrel]

​@@solarprogeny6736that's such a fun idea!

BDubs teaching Cub about scaffolding is like Cub teaching BDubs how to decorate using small details.

It be funny if you and BDubs got together to sell your items in the same shop and call it BAM-BOOM!

[@fashnek]

B double O = BOO. BamBDoubleO is a shop name

[@RobertHMayfire]

@fashnek said it would be funny, IF. Bdubs's Bamboo permit + Cubfan's firework permit. Bam = Part of the name of Bamboo and the sfx of an explosive. Boom pardy of the Boo part of Bamboo and another explosive sfx. I know both have their own shops.

[@solarprogeny6736]

@@RobertHMayfire they were just making a joke damn

[@RobertHMayfire]

@solarprogeny6736 sounded more like they were correcting me on Bdub's shop's actual name and not getting my joke. But, if it was meant to be a joke and not trying to correct me for no reason, I apologize to that person.

[@fashnek]

The joke is clear. But my proposal is better 🤷

[@snipyplays]

Bundles are an amazing fit for the unique fireworks!

[@Yorick257]

For sure! A full shulker box can fit 81 rockets, but the bundle isn't far behind!

[@cubfan]

This is true. I should consider selling bundles of them. I could also add a system where you drop right click with the bundle and then it shoots those fireworks off when it turns night. I'll think some more on that.

[@snipyplays]

@@cubfan Love your creativity man! I'm sure you'll create something cool with it!

[@Fetch049]

Cub, you need a custom order demonstration area in your shop that can show the Hermits what a "star" and "fade" are and so on. That way they will know what their options are for custom ordering.

[@Alphard72]

You should definitely sell a collection of fireworks in a yellow and white palette. Trust me, the Hermits love the "Eternal Sunshine" color scheme.

[@TheShrike9]

Poor beef

[@fizzle7421]

Dude... You're so awesome. In that little segment you had with bdubs, instead of digging in on dirt or nonscaffold pillars, you gave him an extra tip to help him with convincing other hermits. I liked that a lot. You're a good dude, cub

[@kayleighlehrman9566]

Bdubs, who got blown up catastrophically during demise: "be careful with your fireworks, i still have ptsd from demise" Keralis, who also got blown up (as collateral damage) during demise: "oh hey cub! yes please, gimme your fireworks display!"

[@TheLionGamming]

the stack-up challenge was funny because when Bdubs was testing he used and unenchanted diamond shovel. I think he forgot about enchants

[@crownified]

It's also funny because if he set it up so you have to scaffold horizontally it would've been an easier time for scaffolding lol

[@filipsichrovsky]

​@@crownified or if he used the scaffolding while placing it and didn't wait at the bottom

[@jgray2718]

I thought it was funny when Cub didn't just knock some scaffolding out while Bdubs was on it. I was sure that was going to happen at some point.

[@rfresa]

You could sell unique packages of premium fireworks in bundles and shulker boxes, each with their own goofy names like some of the fireworks packages that are sold IRL.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

The little bursts at your shop are adorable. It's rare to see the particles so up close. Your interaction with Bdubs really sparkled. I really liked the mutual back and forth helping one another with shops. I am so into the interactions this season. Bdubs is right, the firework permit is so you, you really shine. You added flying colors to your skin, nice.

[@The_Calvary]

Maybe make paintball? Or other mini games like that to get people to buy rockets?

[@justpeachels]

you should do some "grand opening" marketing. lots of hermits might be thinking of opening up their shops or rebuilding their starter ones. a firework show would not only draw people to their shop but also market yours! and grand openings are very fun. there could be ribbon cuttings and little speeches and food stalls (beef and xb might be interested in that.) there could even be little bundle gift bags for those who show up if the shop owner likes that idea! go all in :D

[@EonWhite]

I love how hard Cub is going with the fireworks. And it seems he still has many ideas, and so does the people in the comments. So I hope Cub will explore as many of them all as possible.

[@1010GamingX]

Much like the post office "giving away" the mailbox, I think Cub could do something similar with the fireworks. The nighttime display system is free (or a one time low-low price), but charge for the refills. Might require a bit of re-configuration of the system's he's already installed to just inject pre-made fireworks from the factory, but I think this would be an easy way to generate demand for more displays server wide, with the added bonus of fulfilling Cubs dream he spoke about. I too can imagine that day, and if anyone can make it reality, it's Cub.

[@ItzJosh55_ZR]

Episode 3 in a row telling Cub he should only fly with explosive fireworks as it is great marketing, and also hilarious...

[@aWildLupi]

if you're planning to do a grab-bag sort of thing with the randomly crafted fireworks, you could use bundles to get up to a whole stack of them in one inventory slot rather than taking up a full shulker box with only slightly more than a stack (27x3=81?) then its a blind bag, too, surprise firework bag!

[@enanirwin2182]

That's what I was thinking making grab bags with a random mix. Also, make a premium display mix that is all the fancy fireworks. There could be a "celebration mix" where it is the cheap fire works for spontaneous celebration.

[@fashnek]

23:46 “continuously” means nonstop, like a waterfall. “continually” means regularly, like Scar’s deaths.

[@deimon451]

"like Scar's deaths" lmao

[@Yorhaaaaa]

I love your "10 Farms in Harmony" song on your last episode

[@TimLavelle]

Cub, one launcher going off multiple times is way less impressive than seversl launchers going off simultaneously. If you want to sell fireworks, you should demonstrate a bigger display! Set up 5 or 6 of these things in an arc around the back of Bdubs house- or wherever you want to do the demo. Picking a spot with something tall to frame will improve the look, as you could have the explosions go off all around and above the build. Make the fireworks pop off in sequence and also at the same time when the show is ending for a grand finale. And make sure each launcher includes different heights to fill the whole vertical column of the sky! You can use an awesome display to then sell a custom service where you do consulting, helping to design and then build custom fireworks installations. You can charge way more for this, make reslly interesting collaborative content, and if you get a few big installs then more people would buy more fireworks more often. You could even make it a subscription service!

[@UnsafeSafe]

Yeah like a realistic firework show

[@statelyelms]

I've never heard Bdubs happy that he loses his accent like he did when you set off a couple fireworks. Must've liked them!

[@enanirwin2182]

Depending on how much redstone you want to do self-service custom fire works, the hermits select the options they want with buttons how many they want. It indicates how much per firework. It then makes the rockets and charges them.

[@lewando7687]

Another marketing strategy could be "buy your friend a firework show"

[@bootlegdouglas]

Marketing idea: set up special times the Hermits can go to the displays at Bdubs and Keralis' bases. They all get to try to guess the next random firework to be produced. If they get it right, they get a free stack of that firework. Probably no one wins, but it draws them there, turns it into a bit of a game/event, and demonstrates how many different combos there are. Maybe if you want people to win, they only have to get the color right or something; might want to turn off the ability for trail effect to be chosen in that case though.

[@catmanjin]

5:35 I like how bdubs interrupt xisuma to promote his new bamboo shop "WAIT what kind of bamboo"

[@TheColorCraftMC]

Who knew we were missing more fireworks across pervious seasons of Hermitcraft. Thank you Cub for showing us the way. Can’t wait to just see fireworks in random Hermits’ videos the rest of the season.

[@jennb5660]

It would be fun to hold events (you could call them “build a boom workshops”) where hermits pay to make a custom stack/box of rockets under your guidance, and/or you could set up a set by step system in the shop that they can pay to use (same concept as Zedaph’s potion producer from a few seasons ago) to make custom rockets on their own.

[@Indyfficient]

For the rocket sales, I might recommend a shulker with a whole fireworks show, 9 stacks of small, 3 stacks of some mediums and a few sets of the big bois for the grand finale

[@DakotaZ162]

This factory is insane man lol

[@if5566]

Cub was so kind to help bdub with his scaffolding sales pitch in that manner. Very cool.

[@ATClouse]

I think it'd be great to connect the shop and the factory to the mail system, mass orders sent straight to the factory and home delivery for special orders

[@Kneoria]

The little race you had with Bdubs was adorable! I hope y’all actually got a chance to see the fireworks properly!

[@baosia]

I remember watching fireworks championships during the late summer as a kid. Climbing up a mountain at the outskirts of Stockholm and looking at this barge in the middle of a bay for about an hour or more, waiting for the shows to start, a different country represented each night... You had to be in good time or else you would miss out on the best spots. Dad packed a picnic basket and my siblings and I gathered and just waited until the sky lit up in bursts of color and loud bangs echoed all over the city. And mind you, during summers in Sweden the sun only sets for one or two hours, so you had to stay up really late to catch these shows. It didn't matter if you fell asleep on the blanket though, because who would have guessed, proffesional pyrotechnicians love thems a good loud boom...

[@jgray2718]

If you're looking for funny ways to promote Cuboom, you could install a few dispensers that fire horizontally, figure out where flight duration 1, 2, and 3 rockets end up and wire up a button there so a Hermit that presses the button gets a firework right next to them.

[@thorn_lekoh]

I think you'd get more customers with an installation service, since the hermits are way more likely to go "oh, i can order cub to put some fireworks somewhere for me" than "oh, i wanted to do something with fireworks"

[@blusterbeediggingploof2510]

Id love to see a firework cross bow mini game later in the season

[@Praxaeus]

Cub, you could put a shulker instead of the barrel and have an easy restock method.

[@flywoods1785]

I love that that bee on a lead is still there when Cub is talking to Bdubs

[@Ronanelm]

"That's what we upto today, MASS PRODUCTION". cuts to scaffolding with Bdubs! 😆

[@TgoodClay]

Could always make a "build-a-firework" shop kind of like the "build-a-bear" shop. They choose color, effects and such and get to see a cool animation while it crafts.

[@eddieprasad108]

You should rename the fireworks for 2 reasons. 1 So hermits don’t accidentally use a firework while using a elytra. 2 Marketing!!!

[@emmaparkin8543]

I think “Cuboom” supplants “Lichen Subscribe” as my favourite name for a shop! I think it would be cool to write it big letters (maybe when the second part of the shop explodes?) so all the hermits can enjoy the brilliant name! Xx

[@fashnek]

BamBDoubleO.

[@jgray2718]

I was a big fan of i-soar, but I agree that Cuboom has to be the best name so far.

[@dandymcgee]

it would be really cool if you built a nice room with catwalks for the firework factory and give factory tours. it's a worthy sight to behold. hermits could get "tickets to the factory tour" when they make a purchase of a premium firework setup for their base. then have a little fireworks display at the end of the tour.

[@etsmine3004]

A fireworks blast on the blank side of the build could look cool. Like graffiti

[@samlofthouse1223]

I think the idea of making custom firework bundles for Hermits based on the skins and branding is an awesome idea!

[@Datzneat]

Should find a way to track the number of unique fireworks crafted. Most unique fireworks ever crafted sounds like a world record to me.

[@drosprey]

Idea: put pressure plates outside shopping district portal and connect it to a flight 3 rocket dispenser at your shop so that every time a hermit comes through portal it fires off (in addition to the 1/9 chance of fireworks from your light detector. Other hermits could connect to pressure plates if they wanted to trigger something from their shops too (I think Bdubs should have a bamboo display that grows as a show like your fireworks, and then cuts itself down, for instance) Love what you are doing, so creative!

[@MartianDill]

6:40 a this point you should get yourself a Redstone Power Levels resource pack from vanilla tweaks

[@JacobH93]

Cub I think you should really up the prices here. This premium product! I think even up to 2 diamonds per stack would be more than fair! Keep in mind the inflation comes with the new easier to find diamond mechanics as well!

[@CarolineLurks]

[@collicou]

haha, the new skin looks great! Seems like safety standards around the factory are a little lax

[@paradox...]

21:00 those rockets need to face the right way i.e. upwards with armor stands 🚀

[@nisseheim4996]

Skizz might enjoy a collection of red, blue and black fireworks. I bet with the right mix of flight durations and dispenser elevation they could form a big S in the sky.

[@iordanisiordanidis6395]

Instead of item frames for the firework display on the shop, you could use the armor stands to hold them standing, pointing up.

[@UNKA757]

You could do something like "Build a Bundle" of Fireworks, or a "Rocket Bouquet" where they can pick their own configuration package? maybe something like that?

[@Defensive_Dwarf]

If there’s not already a permit for them, cub could sell “viole(n)t delight” boxes that include a crossbow and a whole bunch of purple fireworks for ammo

[@andrzejsasiuk1732]

[@tetsujin_144]

24:05 - one of these days someone will be wandering through your shop with their pet sheep, minding their own business, and the dispenser will shear the wool right off that poor sheep! You're gonna have a lawsuit on your hands, Cub!

[@w0t3rdog]

combat fireworks should probably be a sales category aswell, not just aesthetic fireworks. like, for crossbows. ...would be interesting to fight the warden in the city aswell with fireworks.

[@Zerostar369]

Thanks Cub. Always an amazing journey with you process and redstone.

[@contrapasta2454]

If the hermits start competing over the size and quality of their fireworks displays, cub will become the diamond king of gunpowder mountain.

[@ankhayratv]

14:10 You have to start from behind the line! Because now, Cub started on the spot and was able to place blocks jumping.

[@rhvenaubrey6008]

I was wondering if there was a way you could increase the Hermits' perceived value of fireworks since many of them have probably not looked into all the requirements to create sophisticated fireworks in the game. One possible way that crossed my mind was to create interactive information kiosks in your store that use records like in your museum last season to explain some of these details, such as what it takes to create trails, creeper head explosions, multiple breaks, etc. Maybe even do some invisible armor stands displaying all the ingredients used to create an example of one of the more expensive types of fireworks. Letting them see and hear about what all is required to make the fireworks would help to justify any price you charge for all types. Great episode as always, Cub. Thank you!

[@DarkAngel-ki3co]

I don't know much about fireworks, but if you could shapes, you could try to get the shapes to look a little bit like Pokemon, and have a bundle called "Blasting off again!"

[@tetsujin_144]

13:45 - "The superiority of scaffolding" Well if you hadn't been stuck at the top for 5 seconds trying to ring the bell... I kind of want scaffolding to win but this may be too small of a test case to be useful. Plus, it's fast to build the pillar of scaffolding and fast to tear it down, but slow to actually climb it. I think pillaring up with dirt might actually be faster, even when you consider the tear-down time. (Plus, if you need to go laterally, scaffolding penalizes you pretty badly unless you add another block type to support it.)

[@thatmushroomguyanimations6235]

I think you should make a sign advertising custom orders, to make it more clear you are selling those! You could also use invisible armour stands to make the rockets facing upwards on top of the stained glass. Epic shop and farm! B)

[@NewGameTag]

Cub, Can i just say how absolutely underrated you are. you are genuinely talented, Creative and Kind. ive seen you support others and be helpful just because you can. yet you ask nothing in return. you my friend are the best of humanity. i hope this comment helps this video find more people 👍 Road to 1,35 Million Subscribers. lets goooo

[@bengoodwin2141]

I have a recommendation for your firework timers: instead of using a daylight sensors, you should use a villager with a bed and pressure plate. A rising and falling edge detector can determine whether it is sunrise or sunset. The advantage of these is that they are always consistent, instead of malfunctioning whenever it rains

[@nattherat44]

For the rocket exploding when you reach the sales goal, you should make the big statue of a rocket an actual flying machine with tnt inside it and when you reach the sales goal it flies up and explodes

[@lonestarlord]

You could possibly use the Villager night detector that Doc used last season for his announcements. It would provide a little earlier detection for the night for those like BDubs who don't like it as much!

[@crystalchickpea]

You could offer fireworks display kits with a mixture of the different flight durations and included in the price is a firework display setup where you setup the fireworks launcher too

[@GWrap]

Cub, you have to sell your standard fireworks display machine where instead of it accepting precrafted fireworks, the machine accepts gun powder, paper, and dyes as input to craft the fireworks as needed every day for the display. Then, you should offer preloaded shulkers of supply (paper, gun powder, etc.) like printer cartridges. To refill their fireworks display machine. Lastly offer maintenance. Either by service agreement for a set amount of time (i.e., you maintain it during the duratiom of the service contract) or per visit (i.e., they pay up everytime they require maintenance/service). I'm sure Scar will break his a lot of time. 😅

[@sirtainlee8725]

Unfortunately, Cub's rockets are a luxury item, and most hermits are struggling to finish building their bases. Few, if any, have an income, yet. Of course, Cub and Doc completed the game last week lol.

[@Dingo_Craft]

You could also sell bazooka shulkers filled with high damage fireworks with a loaded multishot crossbow inside them ^^ I believe the more stars you add the more damage they deal. Also I don't think a crossbow permit exists so you should be fine selling some as a gimmick at your shop

[@tetsujin_144]

Hey Cub - what if you used your fireworks for an elytra course? Since you can only sell exploding fireworks, contestants in the elytra course would need to be a bit more careful about spamming rockets to go faster.

It would be interesting to make a rocket shop either by building a small rocket out of horizontally opening red and white shulker boxes containing you wares or building a large rocket with and interior covered with shulker boxes.

[@quinnlightfoot]

Fireworks are totally underused. I think you should do a diamond per 8 maybe 16 fireworks for the non-premiums. 64 firework rockets last a very long time.
