Hermitcraft 9: Episode 11 - MEGA BASE BEGINS

[@koleoidea]

To justify the high pressure jets of water that are holding up your base, you should build heavy duty pipes and ground equipment underneath the pillars. I love the idea of this machine that extends deep underground to turn geothermal energy and underground lakes into jets of water that keep the vault elevated. This could support the previously suggested idea of shooting items from farms below ( in the machine ) up through the pillars in bubble elevators to the vault ( and presumably sorting system ) above. Edit: removed duplicate wording

[@monkeischad]

He should make one random pillar a secret entrance or something, it would be quite rizzlious (Edit: it could be an access point to get to his vault!)

[@TheCrazyCapMaster]

I like this idea! Gonna be copper blocks everywhere for a while though 🤣

I really love these types of slow burner episodes where we can actually see you come up with everything behind the process. It makes you feel a lot more human than someone who just magically knows all the answers, and makes the episodes so much more enjoyable for me.

[@Arkyn-99]

@@anoneemusnoename4192 Holy cow friend you have some strong opinions about this. I personally disagree, but that just means we have different interests and that’s fine. I personally like to see more of the process because it helps me improve my own building skills, but I understand that’s not for everyone. (Actually, watching the process is the thing that got me watching Grian and through him Mumbo and the other hermits.) I’m not saying this to try and start an argument or something, I’m just providing a counterpoint. Honestly, I hope the creators continue to make content you like just as I hope they also make content I like, even if they are different types of content.

@Anoneemus Noename You can have opinions, and congrats, you know what you like. What you are saying though is an opinion, a rude one as a matter of fact.

I actually prefer this behind the scenes thought process style video because it lets me know what to expect instead of having to guess. Then I can look forward to things and imagine what you were going for in my head.

[@purgatory671]

Agree 100%, this was much more enjoyable than his normal style imo. I love watching him figure out the building, it’s something I’ve only seen grian do so far

[@LilChuunosuke]

Honestly, when you get this far into a Hermitcraft season, things start to feel OVERWHELMINGLY fast at times. Entire structures built in short timelapses. Having you share your creative process with us brings that early minecraft/early hermitcraft spark that tends to get lost in the later episodes. Please feel free to do this whenever you'd like. I really enjoy it. I always look forward to each new upload. :)

[@achilles777-ks2yx]

Agreed

[@gibbles12]

I really like when hermits actually go through their builds and not just do time lapses every time.

[@LilChuunosuke]

@Klipche Gaming i know, but I'm just saying this format is more common in the earlier episodes than the later ones & its refreshing to see this far into the season.

[@iamaylacat3935]

I noticed that a lot of hermitcraft creators almost seem to burn out, or at least get close to it, towards the end of each season. I've wondered for a while if this is related to them cramming more and more in per episode the longer the season runs for. I by far prefer the slightly slower format. It feels much more relaxed, more comfortable.

[@damarkusjavier1136]

The reason why his base felt so much smaller was because the red outline gave contrast to the blue-green valt and getting rid of the red made it blend into the green trees and grass.

you & grian basing by each other with these builds is brilliant. the "light airy organic" right across from the "dark metallic geometric" makes _both_ builds look even cooler.

Maybe for the Water Pillars, you could add End Rods running through the middle, to give the water a "Mystic" Glow haha

[@dragonace7211]

That could be cool. My first thought was sea lanterns, but I think it would have the same problem as the stone blocks. He could also stagger the rods, instead of having one solid line of them, break them up. It would add to the mystical-ness.

I love seeing you talk through the building. It's one of those things I love as a creative (us programmers and coders call it rubber duck programming).

Is it because you enjoy a couple colored squares or like it for the sake of it being different?

[@Rebateman]

Maybe keep an area spare for Pearl to add a recycling bin into your base. For an estimate of space, look out around Scar's base as he has one installed.

[@phiahope2262]

Love the slower paced video! Thanks for showing the thought processes. If you need more copper, doc has an insane copper farm. He just needs another hermit to afk on a platform. Also, Xisuma has an automated copper aging farm called David ;)

[@snippedtiex]

Building your farms with all the moving parts, buttons, leaves und hoppers so close to Grians base is brave ^^ hope you plan some testing with it ^^

[@takewing164]

On the water pillars, it might be cool to have the various midpoint rings at different heights, to give the impression that they are suspended in some sort of energy field and hovering up and down in place

[@zecharjatheunisse6602]

Hey Mumbo, if you want your vault to feel even smaller, you should definitely take a look at Tango’s base. Like so he sees pls

[@elijahcandage]

I love how watching HermitCraft is all I need to do to stay motivated to play Minecraft. I think I would have lost interest in the game years ago if I had never been introduced to this wonderful SMP.

[@smoushh_lol7351]

I enjoy your content man, never stop and most important of all never get upset if a video doesn't get enough views. Way to many youtubers do. We love all you do

[@Riptide_28]

I dont think mumbo needs to worry about views. Have you seen the numbers 😅

[@alin3563]

Dude's pulling off 1 mil views MINIMUM every video I think he's good lol

[@artisticclementine]

the callback to hermitcraft season 4 made me feel so old despite only being THIRTEEN when it began. that series was 100% all of my minecraft inspiration for years (and in a lot of ways, still is). Still holding onto the dream of becoming a big enough MCYT to be invited lol. Thanks again for the childhood memories mumbo :3

Only thing that’s scary about a 3 bedroom house is the price of them 😅

[@mrcephalopod]

God damn it, I just came down here to say that!

[@TheNeonLynx]

Honestly since your theme is going towards an evil lair I would suggest making it kind of like a city of evil towers and each tower being black with a different accent colour. So the bridge is black and aquamarine. The center tower with the first farms is black and blue for example and so on. Lastly make every tower very different in height floorsize and the actual wall layout. It is a lot of work but you could end up with something very unique.

I enjoy watching the thinking process, hope i get to see it more. also the pillars, i think less of them would look better, and maybe try bubble elevators to give it a force field like effect (like pushed up by an invisible force)

[@DrakeSingularity]

Following the paradox of the water pillars looking more solid without blocks within it, perhaps add blocks in a dashed or some disconnected manner. As long as it’s not just a line of blocks connecting the top and bottom and is instead just a “pattern” you can see in the water, it may still give that solid feel. Maybe something like a gap of three, 2 end rods, gap of three, 2 end rods, etc

To make your base pop up more you should make the walls go down the hill a little bit and add pipes-like structures around it, it should make it feel bigger!

[@Doudge]

Mumbo, you are the best !!!

[@CryptoDagger]

@Don't Read My Profile Picture nobody asked

[@CapMiragee]

@Don't Read My Profile Picture i wont

[@SillyVania]

​@Don't Read My Profile Picture this takes too long, I'll do all this tomorrow

[@nameredacted6221]

@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok

[@calebalexanderwhite1601]

​@DontReadMyProfilePicture.0Literally 2019 vibes

[@justissherwood9807]

I loved this style of video, it’s super fun being a part of the process! Also, I would love to see you use some of those Calibrated Skulk Sensors to activate things once that update drops!😁

[@taxiarchos5142]

I really like the idea of the whole pillar things but replace the water with lava and I think it would look 10x more demonic and also mysterious at the same time

[@MiracleMomo]

It'd be cool to dig under the base all the way to bedrock so there's a great big hole almost like a parameter around your farm tower. Would be cool to see the water pillars shoot all the way down.

[@evad7419]

I would love to see stained glass like blue or tinted in the middle of the water pillar so it looks like deep ocean water.

[@LifeOfBrother5000]

15:31 Mumbo missed out on Hermitopia, so he's just gonna do it at his base!

[@GavinFromWeb]

Alright, so here’s my idea, build up the farms in the center, and have ladders in the corner and like, 2 block walkways with a height of 4 blocks, and on the outer walls, facing away from the farm you can have your storage. I’m not really a redstone guy, so I’m unsure how the sorting part of that idea would go, but it sure would be aesthetically pleasing.

[@theworm7156]

17:40 really sustainable

[@penguin_king2759]

I love the water pillars instead of making a lot of huge pillars

[@Sl0wmoon_OW]

Most consistent youtuber.

[@ValtheFemboy]

​@Don't Read My Profile Picture shut up

[@SmolGhost13]

yes, espescially when he took a 5-month break

[@blooddragon7424]

@DontReadMyProfilePicture.0 ok

[@TheDrexLord]

If you mean content yes, if you mean release wis, get a dictionary

[@LeopardMask12]

You running through your thought process and all the struggles of being a builder on camera is incredibly refreshing and based, Mumbo. A lot of ccs skip straight to having things all figured out, which gives the illusion that the in-between steps aren't necessary for them or even that it's a waste of time. I know the exact feeling of jumping around one's base trying to work out what to do. You're keeping it real over here.

[@oscarknowsnothing5498]

Brings me back to season five, when you were experimenting with the vertical expansion of your prismarine base
