Hermitcraft 9: The End

In this Minecraft Hermitcraft episode, I talk about the end of Hermitcraft Season 9, what the future of Hermitcraft season 10 looks like, and why Hermitcraft 9 was a bit different from other seasons for me. Reflecting on Hermitcraft season 9 has been really enjoyable, and despite it's challenges I am still really proud of what I have achieved.

[@gabrielabhaktirasaveiskate4785]

I even personally love all the in-the-middle things more, which happen aside from main mega base building

[@myrillya]

Personally, I also think the hermits often bite off more than they can chew. I'd love to see Mumbo doing something like a village or an extending base, starting with the starter base in the middle and just growing bigger and bigger. I'd really love to see that because then it would not be something that's not done, because basically you could stop anytime. Don't get me wrong, I love the big builds, but on the other hand it can get frustrating seeing so much work in front of you when you actually just wanna goof around. I pray that the hermits will more focus on that interaction than the mega bases, I'd really enjoy that. Bases that are a perfect example for what I've got in mind are Mumbo's S2 base (the jungle village), Keralis' S7 city base or Etho's S7 inside-out base. Also iskall's cave in this season is actually a good idea because you could infinitely expand the floor plan.

[@victoriamckiernan6446]

All the moments with you and Grian and scar were the highlights of the season for me. Especially that cheesy reunion shot with scar flying in. Can’t wait for season 10 I know it will be amazing!

Absolutely. The megabases are always cool but i personally definitely enjoy people like Zed, Etho, & Mumbo who don’t really care about the base building

[@FangyDoesArt]

I think he should just be a nomad next season. I wonder actually if the hermits should do a "nomad" season where they have maybe some little bases but not one giant project (unless they really want to)

[@simonfitzgerald7104]

Same man. It’s so much more fun to see someone genuinely just enjoying life and being themselves than it is to see them stressed doing what they feel others expect them to do

[@gwaeron8630]

When watching Mumbo's episodes I generally skip the base building bits and just watch interactions with hermits, pranks and stuff.

[@marenking1946]

I feel bad for saying it but… there was just something so magical about season 7 for me. It’s just never quite been as fun- I mean there was the dragon bros and Sahara, poultry man, the gaming center, the hippie van battle, fun shops, the hight limit battle, prank wars/ civil war…. I mean you just can’t outdo that! I hope there’ll be some more social things next season instead of too much work on the mega builds yk?

[@tahunuva4254]

Small builds, like the hobbit hole and the little campsite for the prank war, are really the best kind of builds. Especially when they've got bathrooms.

Mumbo-Your season was actually really really useful to watch. We all struggle sometimes and allowing us to come on your journey of deconstruction and reconstruction was both inspirational and comforting at a time when a lot of people are evaluating their lives right alongside you. It was so much fun watching you just show up, join in and lean in to shenanigans. Thanks for Season 9! Can't wait for season 10. 😊

[@thewebcamboyz]

You were not wrong Mumbo, You were my most watched Hermit for a lot of seasons... Your absence in this season gave me the nudge I needed to watch other Hermits. I'm not saying that I'm glad that you had to go through what you did but I'm glad that it all brought us here in the present. Thank you Mumbo! I hope you can have the same mindset for the season 10 as you did in secret life, logging on for fun and not overly stressed on having content creator brain!

[@okaykatieokay4]

Yesss! Same! Glad I wasn't the only one who watched other hermits as well cuz of that reason!

I actually started watching the other Hermits because of Secret Life and I wanted to see their perspectives, but didn’t feel like watching Hermitcraft Season 9 since they were all so deep into it, but I think I’ll watch many different Hermits during Season 10!

I don't watch anything he makes that isn't a redstone video. I don't care about him or his personal life, nor do most people. Telling him to do whatever is bad advice. He should make redstone videos and leave Hermitcraft. That server has drained his time and creativity, and undermined the very content he built his channel upon.

On the topic of other hermits, i was introduced to Hermitcraft THROUGH your videos, i started off watching your redstone videos and then noticed your season 6 hermitcraft videos which lead me into getting very invested, eventually starting to follow Grian and Iskall and eventually the entire server, now my YT feed is 50% minecraft KZbinrs and honestly i love when ANY of the hermits upload whether its Hermitcraft or other side minecraft projects. For that, i am so grateful for your videos really getting me into the Minecraft YT community!

Mumbo, I am so grateful for you and your channel and I want you to know that even if you never post another video again I will be grateful for everything that you did. I enjoyed watching your content beyond the megabuilds or the super redstone contraptions. I enjoyed watching them because of you. I loved your attitude, your silly fun with your friends. The way that you engaged with the other hermits. I am so glad that you were able to find yourself again and find joy in what you do because joy was always the heart of this channel. Or at least it always felt that way to me. I look forward to what you do in season 10 and beyond.

[@merlingt1]

Season 8 is still my favorite. High density gameplay with hermits living side by side and a lots of interactions is more fun than long mega builds.

[@megabubfish]

It's incredible how long this season was, and how incomplete it still felt.

[@NeoCat1993]

yea, especially because a few people took time off simultaneously. So the whole season felt like a mess, albeit a fun one.

[@imoorzy]

The majority of hermits didn’t post nearly as much this season as they did in previous seasons. That’s why it felt so incomplete.

[@austinseph1]

Not many episodes from the creators that I've been watching for years, so it didn't feel like much of a season honestly. Grian did episodes periodically, Iskall pretty much non existent, and mumbo a treat once in a while. I do miss the days of weekly episodes but I understand that now they can afford to do whatever makes them happy in life after COVID even if it isn't hermitcraft videos.

[@ryanbradley3293]

Yeah that’s the odd thing. This also seemed to end abruptly, with secret life basically removing half of the hermits from the server for the end of the server. I feel bad for decked out too, because it seemed to be overrun by secret life.

[@samlewis6487]

A lot of the Hermits didn't upload much. Like. Some have 10 episodes, max. Mumbo took his huge break for his mental health (which was good for him, of course, but still added to the incomplete feeling). Hermitcraft has changed a lot in the past few seasons, and it feels like they're still finding the groove of how long they need to be and how much they are able to do.

[@persianwarrior6723]

I personally love the secret life series mumbo. He goes in, does something even he doesn't know why, then comes out of it laughing. I see YT videos as a journey that I tag along with someone who enjoys making it.

[@ki11ershark]

I enjoyed all the videos and builds you made this season. I personally don’t mind if you don’t feel like you can finish a mega base, I like watching your shenanigans and interactions and games with others and if those are the things you’d rather do then hey, I’m happy about that. Season 7 was my favorite season primarily just because I enjoyed watching all the fun games and shenanigans you all got up to, especially in the shopping district. Like I loved your interactions with friends with the hermit challenges, 12 bamboo, pacific, selling your bits, the hobbits, etc. Also your role in the buttercups was hysterical. I’m sure it must’ve been tough rejoining mid season, etho also did that, but I was glad you rejoined and enjoyed seeing you and etho go at your own pace. Thanks for a great season.

[@GreenAlien8]

Mumbo, your a legend. Do what you want to do, whether that's continuing making hermitcraft/minecraft videos, new types of videos or quieting youtube entirely. Whatever it is, I'm positive that your audience (INCLUDING ME) will support you 100%!

[@cherriagana]

With Decked out ending and Doc doing this huuuge massive grind to quickly finish his perimiter it really felt like all the hermits were acting like it was the end of the season. Always a bit sad to see a season end but a new season will be amazing as well :D

[@dilophoraptordouble]

I will say. While decked out is a stunning amount of work. It feels weird for the last like 10 episodes of a Hermitcraft season to mainly boil down to "hey. We play a mini game in the game" Like. I've barely paid attention to the end of hermitcraft because everyone's last few videos have just been decked out runs. Though I do sincerely hope everyone who does like that content and the various crafters involved in hermitcraft do have fun doing it.

[@rafal.qwerty]

At the end of season 8, you could feel that it was rushed. The Hermits were forced to quickly complete their projects before the end of the season. But the end of season 9 is a real surprise. Never before has a season ended so suddenly with so many projects unfinished.

[@rafal.qwerty]

@@frankgrimes7388 I'm not sure, usually before season ends most of the hermits ends their series earlier so you can know that the entire season is going to end. Season 8 was different in that manner but still you got the feeling that it is going to end. And now season 9 ends quite suddenly with only few hermits who somewhat finished all their projects (but didn't officially ended their series). Only thing that justifies that ending is the fact that most of the hermits wasn't really into hermitcraft this season.

I started watching Hermitcraft right after the beginning of season 8, when one of my friends got me back into Minecraft after having not touched the game since Beta. They linked to one of your redstone videos (which still seems like black magic to me) and then as the season started we both started watching along as you posted new content. From there I've gone on to watch other hermits and found that I love them all. So, I suppose I should just say, do what you want to do and don't feel obligated, burnout is a real thing.

[@Guardian1771]

Mumbo I think you’d enjoy building a mechanical contraption type mega base. Don’t worry about the build, just have an omega storage system, then a ton of omega farms. Less pressure to do things like building which causes burnout, and more freedom to do what you really want

[@aero42]

I 100% agree, not only would that probably be better for Mumbo, I genuinely think that it could be a really cool base!

[@MrEzioCraft360]

Totally agreed! Like, it's difficult not to feel pressured when there are so many great builders to not have your base up to those standards. But he should focus on what he likes the most.

Mumbo, your videos at the beginning of season 8 are what introduced me to your content, Hermitcraft, and the rest of the Hermits. I personally loved season 8 and how it ended (as well as season 9), so it’s sad to hear about other fans who vocalized their dislike of it. I was extraordinarily excited when I saw that you had returned to Season 9 and the Buttercup arc was amazing. I am very glad and grateful that you have returned to making content on KZbin, and it’s awesome that you’re going to focus on making content that excites you first and foremost. Can’t wait to see your plans for season 10 and have a restful break between seasons!

[@KingJellyfishII]

honestly I've noticed a huge increase in the quality of the videos you make after you "retired". Doing what you want to rather than what youtube wants you to is always going to lead to a better result.

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

Bingo. I think people want to watch mumbo for mumbo. Not cause we expect mumbo to build a mega base that has to impress people. sometimes its the small thing that impress the people the most.

I love these “be real” episodes where you explain what’s been going on with you and explain the hardships of being a KZbinr. Hope you’re doing well ❤

[@brysonschiel9210]

I hadn't watched a Minecraft video in years (think Mindcrack days) until I found your redstone videos and then your Hermitcraft ones during season 7. You reignited a spark for my love of the game and the sense of community that it can build. Whenever I pull up KZbin and see that you posted a video, its always the first one I watch, because I love yours the most, even if it is just a simple episode concept that day. It's been inspiring, watching you take the time you needed for yourself and those you care about, and I couldnt be happier to be one of your subscribers! Cheers to a fantastic season and to a wonderful new year!

[@x3duhBrain]

Followed Mumbo first through your redstone videos on Facebook. I was faintly aware of Hermitcraft before but along the time of your return was when I first started watching and finding others perspectives as well on the server. All very nicely done and enjoyed thoroughly. Go go season 10!

[@jasonso2056]

Season 9 was such a long and eventful season that it feels weird that it’s ending! As for you Mumbo, I hope that for Season 10 you can just take it easy and do what you think is fun! We’ll be here to support you no matter what!

[@adencuzican9401]

I started watching hermitcraft for the first time during season 9 because of your videos, this season was great and whatever videos you make so many of us will watch and enjoy them

[@FaeChangeling]

I have mixed feelings about the season ending right now. On the one hand, a lot of Hermits have finished their big projects or reached a point where they no longer feel motivated to work on them, and between Decked Out and Secret Life there's been a lot less of the traditional Hermitcraft stuff, and a bunch of hermits have been definitely feeling the burnout (which seems to be a thing going on in the larger content creator sphere rn). But on the other hand I do feel a bit sad about people like Scar and Doc who are working on massive projects that they're not finished with and seem really excited to be working on, with tons of cool ideas and they know exactly what they plan on doing next, which now will never get to be finished.

[@LRM12o8]

A lot of Hermits I feel like have been pretty much finished with season 9 before Decked Out 2 even started, I remember being worried that it wouldn't get finished in time. DO2 breathed some second wind into the season and it being spread out in phases over like two months has been a godsend for Doc and Scar, who have just planned so much bigger than the other Hermits. I know that Decked Out would be the finale of the season and both would end together.

[@DaniTheCopycat]

@@LRM12o8 I got that feeling too, poor Tango had to really rush at the end, he was panicky at best.

[@Koppu1doragon]

Honestly I knew pretty early on Doc wasn't going to end up doing much with his perimeter and when he started making several farms outside of it I knew it was the death nail for that project.

[@ImminDragon]

@@Koppu1doragon First of all, do you mean Doc? Because Scar would never have been doing much with The Perimeter. Would have been weird if he did, honestly. Second, do you know what The Perimeter is for? It's not an empty space for him to build in, it's an empty space where things can't spawn, forcing mob farming to work really well. The lack of blocks means the game finds spawning locations in the farms that much faster. It was never intended to be a place he built any farm that wasn't a mob farm. It wasn't an industrial district type of thing. Third, Doc has put in an unreal amount of work building detailed murals. He's probably put in more decorative work this season than every previous one he's been in combined.

[@themaskedraff]

To be honest, I haven't had a hermitcraft season hit the same since season 6, seven was still great, but around 8 I was kinda done, not sure what that caused might be a me thing TBD.

[@vasilisafrolova4758]

I don't think there's anything wrong with how you approached your videos. I actually enjoyed it. You gave a glimpse into the hard bits of the creative process and life in general that a lot of us can relate to. I'm really excited to see what you do next

This 100%. I loved following his journey AND the love and acceptance of both his fan base and the cocreators on the HC server itself.

Blue heart: signifies trust and security. Purple heart: they link it with forbidden love or that which is forbidden, especially it is intended for lovers.

Be a human being who's also willing to share a part if your life online is even harder. So please don't ever feel bad about taking care of your mental health. My favorite videos are the ones you are excited about because I love your energy. No matter the video. Here's to a new year! I look forward to seeing your next video. Thank you for your hard work. And for those seen and unseen ❤

[@CloudFuel]

My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you are very clearly having a great time. It's cool to see the massive builds and the ingenious inventions, but a lot of the best moments (for me) are the cheeky jokes, the fun interactions / banter / pranks with others, and the times where you let us in on what you're thinking / how you're doing. No matter which route you go in S10 (and other future projects), I'll be eagerly waiting to see how it all unfolds. 💙

I came to Hermitcraft around the middle of Season 9 through watching your Redstone tutorials, and from you I found Scar, Grian, Ren, Doc, Gem, Pearl, Xisuma, Pixlriffs, and more... so thanks for being my gateway drug into all sorts of awesome storytellers and builders! I'll be watching whether you do Hermitcraft or weird Redstone builds, or whatever.

I don't think you should take it personally about the ratings bc that is just YT algorithms. We were all eagerly awaiting your return not because we wanted you to feel pressured, but because we hoped you still had passion and creativity for our hobby of Minecraft! I hope you see this bc I just got the signed CREO card in the mail and it melted my heart watching this video!

Wow, I’m surprised Hermitcraft season 9 is ending already. I thought it would’ve lasted for 100 weeks.

The prank war was my favorite moment from this season though.

I understand the feeling of starting on a project full force and excited only for something to happen outside of it and to loose all momentum and motivate. I think there is a lot of pressure on you and all the other hermits to make these imense and amazing and perfectly completed projects when we reqlly just want to see you be okay and have fun. Dont get me wrong, builds like yalls are amazing and they might be what first drew us all in, but YOU are what we stayed for. Your funny and kind and human, and you are why I watch.

Do what you love and fills you with purpose, Mumbo! As a nonprofessional artist, I personally prioritise process over result; I find it much more fun ^^ I’ll admit that what got me hooked into HC was the incredible builds made in survival (I didn’t know it was possible!), but what made me stay was you and other Hermits’ lovely personalities! I really feel like you could make nearly anything enjoyable to watch because of that :) Thank you for all of your amazing videos

Ive been wayching hermit craft since around season 3 or 4 and was a little off and on. But i honestly think season 9 played out so so well, and things just seemed to click together, almost like it was fully planned! To the diamond tower wars wrecking the economy, to mumbo taking a big break and so happen to come back after the rendog reign and somehow being the richest hermit after saying he will and dipping. It was so perfect and it is honestly my favorite season so far. Yeah mumbo not being around kinda was a damper, but added so much more to the lore and like i said about him being rhe richest. It just worked out. Bravo hermits! And bravo the underlining path of fate/destiny it followed!
