Did you know that yesterday marked the 10th year since my first Hermitcraft episode! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZbLlWxmfcqrd9U

[@Big_If_True]

You procrastinate too much. 😅 I wish you would just dig in and get things done like the other hermits, also try new ideas, like, why do you even need a megabase, look at bdubs, hes creating dungeons everywhere, thats such a cool idea and gives events for the viewers to watch.

[@Atenana]

@@Big_If_True I'm pretty sure other hermits have said that he has to do many other things (irl too i think) and doesn't really have time to be one of the hermits. Especially when there is so much grinding off camera. But he is one anyway even though he doesn't have to. I'm pretty sure many people, inclufing me, are really grateful for that :)

[@elijabutterfly6154]

Concratulations!

[@brice.coates]

@xisumavoid what program do you use to view the world seed?

[@NL-fy6to]

@@Big_If_True I think the irony in your statement is Xisuma is one of the least procrastinating hermits, dont get me wrong there are many lazy hermits, but I wouldnt consider Xisuma one of them especially since he has been the backbone which has helped Hermitcraft stay alive especially in its early years.

[@asuramaru8180]

“The bamboo needs a high celling so it isn’t as efficient as it could be” this is true, but you also don’t need the best thing in the world. Bamboo grows super fast after all. Keralis has a very low ceiling farm too. Also, the low ceiling could be your answer to the light level problem too. Spontaneous builds might not be the best at efficiency, but it’s fun to work out the kinks as you go along, something you used to do a lot back in the day as well :D I’ve been enjoying the go-with-the-flow approach this season :)

[@deusvult6920]

Majority of players go with the flow and don't plan much. When everything is so planned out it seems more like just doing stuff for video content. Rather than turning playing the game into content. It's not fun to watch and I'd imagine not at all fun to play that way.

[@jamo8154]

@@deusvult6920 I don't think that is that true, would say there are more hermits using schematics that survival free-hand (iskall is one of the other ones I can think of)

[@EonWhite]

@@deusvult6920 I think there’s an audience for either. Personally, I like to see every player try and do both. So seeing someone like X play casually in the beginning, and then maybe later in the season really ramp up and plan things out. That seems like the ideal way to me. Or at the very least, it’s what I would prefer.

[@DrKvo]

"Once again, we don't have a total plan" Says X covered in half a dozen arrows. Made me laugh so hard.

The diamond piles started with scar flexing, then grian got competitive and built the second one, then pearl saw and joined. Its a race to build limit lol

[@Gecko1]

Thanks for building my cave spider XP farm, I saw you mention about the fact that other mobs can spawn there on occasion. I will be adding a pinned comment about this so thanks for pointing it out (:

[@livc.6761]

Love the diamond competition, it’s so silly 😂

[@jasonreed7522]

The best part is it started with scar being lazy and not wanting to mine his ore pillar right away. And then Grian had to be competitive (who wouldn't). I love the spontaneous parts of Hermitcraft the best. (Like tango deciding to make decked out or the turf war)

[@valliemcc8352]

I knew Scar wanted to get some kind of reaction by keeping his tall diamond pillar around... but I bet he'd never expect this to be the outcome 🤣

[@garnetleaf8050]

Scar made a diamond pillar, because Scar Grian wanted a pillar bigger than Scar, because Grian And that's how it started Personally I would create a banner between the pillar saying "compensating much?"

[@teccam]

X, a lot of the diamond mines are probably from Cubfan. He did a TON of diamond mining, like 8+ hours of each method, and talked about the results in a recent video.

[@Kyoame_]

The one with ceiling chekings is Grian's I think. There was a timelapse in the las episode with that method and I think that Cub didn't check the vertical pokeholes method.

[@strongworld02]

@@Kyoame_ While I don't know how diamonds spawn in 1.18 it used to be the most efficent staying on the level they are most common at. So I assume digging vertical would be less efficient as it takes just as much effort as doing poke holes to the side and exposing less common blocks. Even if diamonds spawn most commonly in a range now it still takes just as long as horizontal poke holes, so at best it's just as good.

[@jimcrumpet7015]

Xisuma! Don’t get initimidated by scars insane Minecraft building skills. Your builds are very good this season and I think they make a great backdrop to scars area when I see them from his videos

[@meowtain9566]

I love that you're playing more casually this season, it's a nice change of pace!

[@defeatSpace]

That ice mountain to the left at 6:40 looks phenomenal, perfect spot for a great bridge hosting a town living high above the ravine between the two mountains. Great episode!

[@JetS_Gamer]

That new tower you've build X (at 3:00), it kind of reminds me of some of your season 7 buildings you had, with the 4 sides, and with sides you can fly in and seeing that honey up there aswell, but instead of it being that futuristic look season 7 had, its a far more detailed building aswell being a different style. Kind of gave me a feel for nostalgia from older builds but also being something brand new, enough said I really do like the look of the build and can't wait to see what you do for your main base

[@LastWanderer]

I highly recommend you replace the scaffolding for your spawning floors with some other block as scaffolding causes lag from block updates (MC-197302)

[@jamo8154]

True, but glow signs are much worse and they have them plastered everywhere

[@joelconolly5574]

That's basically redoing the farm from scratch.

[@DaTimmeh]

I had expected the scaffolding to potentially reduce lag, as mob ai is deactivated. Do we know if the scaffolding lag is worse than the mob ai? Genuinely curious as I’ve been trying to be more lag friendly with my buildings.

[@sebastianjost]

It's literally thousands of blocks from where everyone is and probably won't be loaded very much. So your comment is definitely interesting and educational (I love the bug tracker reference), but it's not a big deal to leave it as scaffolding

[@artisanblack]

It's really cool to see the base expand over time!

[@akarsh6113]

Imagine accidentally removing that scaffolding at the bottom

I honestly didnt know scaffolding was a spawnable block, this makes farms so much easier

[@Ajlez]

Now that's a roof. Love the little circular bits outside. Also enjoy hearing about these less-used ideas.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

Scaffolding is an amazing block, i've used it before for many the same reasons X mentioned how it's the perfect length for water and all that. Never knew about mobs not pathing on it though. I knew they could spawn on it, and spawn with their heads in a block though. Making a mob farm even more compact. Only real downside is how fragile the block is. Be careful where you punch and if a creeper blows up your going to lose a lot of scaffolding.

I love the unique properties of scaffolding. It allows for new farm designs as well as better iterations on old ones, like in your video. My favourite scaffolding farm is the shulker shell farm, which funnels the shulkers upwards through scaffolding right into a killing chamber, as shulkers view scaffolding differently depending on whether they are below it, on it or above it.
