HermitCraft 10: Who could forget a sweet face like that? - episode 1

Who's that Hermit? It's launch day on HermitCraft 10, and there might be some faces you aren't expecting... or completely forgot about.
Our two latest Skizzleman and SmallishBeans have arrived, but we don't know their names yet because Mumbo never completed their introductions. Keep an eye out for more of them both soon!
You can find links to the channels and social media of our latest new pals, and all of the other Hermits at the HermitCraft Website:

I spent a lot of time experimenting with two unfamiliar animation tools (Motion and Mine-imator) to create the several animations in this episode myself, so if you're thinking "wow, someone better-paid should have worked on that" I wanna remind you that you can pay me via the following links.

Everyone asks "Who is that Hermit?" Silhouettes only all the more alluring, fascinating in their obscurity No one asks "How is that Hermit?" How do they fare with the ceasleless gaze of a million eyes upon them? Did they sleep well last night? Did they have lunch? Or even better "Why is that Hermit?" Why indeed? Why does it look like that Hermit is rapidly approaching? No seriously that last one wasn't rhetorical. Oh dear, they really are approaching at a dangerous pace I think I need to go-

[@clairefoley8662]

Thank you for the poetry prompt, and fantastic episode Joe!! I'm so excited to follow your journey through Season 10. Here's to a great season with lots of great memories!

[@CharmChampion]

Oh dear! I do hope the approaching Hermit isn’t Gem! 😱

[@aqwkingchampion13]

Nobody even asked ‘where is that hermit’. On at least 3 separate occasions lol Sorry, Keralis, for all three instances.

I was decorating the kitchen when the notification went off. My wife will be horribly disappointed at the lack of progress when she gets back.

[@syndahra]

I warned my wife before she left for work this morning, lol. She gets it.

[@silvsilvsilv]

I love how Xisuma was so genuine when he said "but Joe, you can't block with a sword anymore..." 😂

[@eimxiuerniuewancw3376]

i have to admit i also often expect to block with my sword and then i get a quick moment of realization thinking "ah. right." and then i proceed to die

Joe having to pick up his child at the start of the 90 minutes killed me LMAO poor XB Lmao

[@MochiHimochi]

For today's poetry prompt: a tribute to one of my favourite hermits A man who felt at home within the stone, Who'd carve out dirt and rock amidst the fray, A hermit true; oft spent his time alone, While pranks and warfare raged in surface day, But when from ancient tunnels he'd arise, To shop, or see what sights there were to see, His presence there, so pleasant a surprise, Would bring a smile - that player, TFC.

[@Hermitcraft_X]

TFC he man who know no moopop. (I say this because it's my favourite clip of his)

[@nmgg6928]

[@jandelion404]

(edit) 26:16 - Joe runs right past some diamonds >.< I loved the editing/effects in this episode!

[@avakining]

Just as Keralis says “there’s diamonds!” in reference to another vein, too

I saw too lol

​@@avakiningim never gonna use it but i appreciate that unlisted john green streams playlist you have :P

[@sorrel7554]

The editing is phenomenal already this season. I love the "Who's that hermit?" sections. A very fun game, given how instantly recognizable and distinct from each other each hermit's silhouette is. The teamup of Joe Keralis xB and Xisuma is phenomenal I really love the energy between everyone.

[@Alice-not-Alice]

[@eloquentornot]

I love the "Who's that Hermit?" animations! I know you said on the crafting stream that the joke was we couldn't recognise them from silhouette, but I just learned I can actually recognise xB from silhouette, at least from that angle, thanks to his unique hoodie outer skin layer! I'm so excited for this new season!!! "Who is that hermit?" we ask. A silhouette, one on each end. Does one of them have thinner arms? Who could they be? Who are the new friends? Not exactly new friends, it turns out. Long awaited, and welcome without doubt!

[@sisi7304]

yeah, the only way to tell the difference between hermits is if there's an outer skin layer or if the model has thin or wide arms

[@thedimensionalcat]

You walk the woods and crave the caves while down the rivers wonder free You plan about and build a house with windows high and wooden doors And when the night comes zombies out you hear a knock… who is that hermit at the door?

Who is that Hermit That tries to stop a Zombie and slime from fighting. Who is that Hermit Who flies so much you can't see how much they were flying. Who is that Hermit In the guise of a puppet comforts those who are crying Who is that hermit That it isn't a suprise when they help those who are having a hard time surviving Non other than Joe Hills

[@Hermitcraft_X]

I heard this being read in Joe's voice and the way he poetriesss

[@dragonrider7649]

At 31:38 I can't get over the fact that someone arranged those Cobbled Deepslate blocks so that they spell "LOL"! Also I really hope Joe does that "Who's that Hermit" gag throughout the rest of the season.

[@rnedens]

I guessed all the Who's That Hermits? correct. The trick is to not look at their shape, but to pierce into their soul.

[@theheartbrokenloofah]

Who is that hermit? The puppet who conquered death Happy season ten! I was so excited when I saw this in my subscription box! Here's to another wonderful season!

[@Cluemily]

Woooah that editing was so fun what the heck??? I loved it, and the camera usage for panning around was so fun! And making things so much more ominous for the Demise explanation was so good. Keep it up!

[@curlyparmesan]

LOVE the who's that hermit, absolutely hilarious that it's basically the same silhouette each time.

[@screechingnewt7469]

"Who is that hermit?" Who is that? Who are you? In your social solitude, your self-imposed isolation, your extreme introversion, Does anyone know who you are? Do you know how to make friends? Do you want to? Why not? I promise, it's not easier this way. You cannot have both. You cannot be both known and unknown, not in any true sense. I know - that doesn't make it any easier to stop wishing for.

[@Turret09]

"All rendogs go to heaven" is the best sentence I've ever seen

[@Getsugaru]

"Who is that Hermit?" JoeHills asked that all throughout his first episode. --A Haiku, by Getsugaru 🐍

[@nikk-named]

"Who *is* that Hermit?" On hermitcraft, the hermits flourish Run around, then quickly skirmish They meet up in, big groups and small Form little teams, then watch mates fall Cause for the hermits, one thing's for sure: It's fun above all, and friendship galore! So: who is that Hermit? If not one who supports their friends? 'Cause it's teamwork, that makes the dream work. And that, hermits know best!

[@JediMaestr0]

Grinding all the day and all the night, Optimizing everything in sight. Automation is his middle name. Thriving, not surviving, is his game. Fear the sound of pistons underground, Alabaster-coated grumbling sounds. Terrorizing Hermits with his plans- Hybrid of a monster and a man. Embrace that you are living in HIS world; Respect the GOAT . . . or see his plots unfurled. Who's that Hermit?

[@5manyl]

Joe, thank you again and again for often being the only hermit who leaves those lovely interactions in his video, which others tend to cut out! So many interesting and entertaining looks "behind the scenes", making us viewers get a wider picture of whats going on between all of you. Also, it feels more authentic. Keep that up please!

What even is a hermit? How does one know who they are? Is the requirement to find yourself in a wide-open world, seemingly empty? To hide away from the people that slowly trickle is, watching as they whisper "do we know that guy?" "Who is that hermit?"

I'm not really a poet but here we go: Who is that hermit Everyone sees punching trees Loving, living, looting the Coal and iron from Open caves, cracked and covered in Minerals, shared between Everyone's hands To be a hermit is not a dream Or a curse, but a choice Someone says that "Everything is holding me back!" And the hermits Shake their heads Only a hermit would know Nothing can stop creativity To wonder who that hermit could be Eventually leads to the question: Now why wouldn't they be a hermit?
