If you raise the lava blades by 1 block it will still kill the large slimes but the small ones should be able to jump under them.

I'd remove the lava completely and drop the campfires down so fall damage kills them. will be much faster.

@@shaneminer15 fall dmg wouldn't be enough. You have to kill the big ones 3 times, fall dmg would only do it once. Magma blocks and soul campfires are the go-to methods for this.

[@TheTrainmobile]

Honestly, I think schematic and improvised building are two different ways of building, each with its own advantages, sort of like improvisation and reading sheet music. Schematic building can compose large complex builds with insane amounts of materials as well as organize the building process. Improvised building shows one's talent to think creatively and spontaneously, with the result being a very natural, in-depth build that fits with the landscape. For me, I have a hard time memorizing and limited CPU capabilities, so Litematica helps keep me from going between Minecraft worlds and reading what I built in creative just so that I can translate a build to the survival server I play on. I do see why some people don't like Litematica, but I think it just comes down to the personal goals of the player.

[@Evie0h]

I love your description of the differences! Improvising vs reading the sheet music is a great way to put it, plus your further explanation

[@fulafisken]

I appreciate that you show Litematica on screen and talk about it :) Makes the game seem more accessible for other players i recon, and transparency is always good.

Deepslate is a popular building material so it's probably better to hold on to it to either use or sell. Xisuma already has a moss farm design thats self sustaining if he ever needs a load of moss blocks

[@Dave-cg9li]

I absolutely recommend Litematica and other mods from the author to everyone - it's extremely useful and makes bigger or more complicated builds so much easier! But yeah, I get why some people may feel like it takes some of the survival experience away 😅

[@ScorpiusZA.]

I am very pro-modding in general. but for me, client side only mods don't detract from the vanilla experience. With Litematica, you still need to grind, craft, store and everything else in the world to build the building. All it does is allow much more impressive builds to be build and remove the freehand errors that can pop up.

[@Erkle64]

The main advantage is not having to scaffold all over the place during the creative process.

[@Erkle64]

@Jon's Labyrinth It's for Java edition, it has nothing to do with mob spawns or lighting and it's free.

@@Sporxz Actually, it's quite the opposite - these mods are mainly for experienced players who need to get big projects done more efficiently. Definitely not for new players 😅

[@DarBibkus]

About litematica i think it really depends on what you are building, a giant anatomically correct skeleton is a valid use for it as it is really easy to make a mistake and human skeleton turns to a Quasimodo skeleton, also for farms like tree farms that one mistake can make you have to rebuild it entirely i see it reasonable to use, but for a small scale build like a shop i do think it's a bit overkill

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Also as long as it’s his design that he created in creative I see no issue with him using litematica instead of having to do it a second time

I think anyone can use a schematic whenever they want. trying to remember where you want blocks to go from creative designing is just unnecessarily annoying

[@Yorick257]

Absolutely! Look at Grian's Rock - it's such a pain to re-create something like that in survival. But at the same time, so many details are often created in survival, and it's definitely possible to terraform in survival without planning the whole build first.

I see no problem with keeping the option on the HC server. Doesn't take anything away from the video content! I doubt I'd use it myself, unless I had something big and complex. Honestly it's kinda nice to know that I'm not a terrible builder just because I can't raise a build in neat, clean, timelapse-style strips. :P

I love Litematica, and use it all the time to transfer highly detailed or very large designs I made in creative, or to copy a technical/redstoney design that someone else made. The materials list it creates is soooooo handy for the pre-building prep.

I know this videos from a bit ago, but one idea that always sticks in my mind for mining deepslate out of a big area you might want to build in, is a streamer I watch earlier this year used moss and bonemeal in chunks at a time then hoeing away the moss as an insta-break. It was grindy, since he was mining down a huge huge area of previously bedrock turned to deepslate, but it was a lot better than pickaxe mining it and a lot safer than blowing it up, as it was in hardcore. This stream is Philza, I watched wayy too many hours of deepslate-moss mining haha. (It was fairly quick! It only took a while as it was live streams and we all get off track and unfocused on the stream rather than the grind of the game) (On paying attention while scrolling the comments I realize other people also mentioned this method much earlier!)

[@slpwrm]

I really loved this ep, your chilled back presentation was so nice and fun

Other than using expensive TNT, you can use moss and bonemeal to dig big holes. The Boatem Hole was made that way, if I remember right.

[@ajchromatic]

Litematica and such tools are really helpful to keep you sane when you want to build something grand. I don’t think I’d have built half the big things I have if I didn’t rough it out first in creative and then copy it over in survival. Really all just about how you want to play the game at the end of the day, not really a wrong way to do it in my opinion 😊

[@spiderheartsMC]

For the most part, I like to build in survival. However, it's a lot easier to brainstorm in creative. So I tend to use Litematica either for builds that may need a bit more time to figure out just right or for builds that I'm going to copy/paste in different places or configurations. What I do like about talking about it is that it makes it easier to show Litematica as part of the creative process on camera. This means that I can take time outside of survival and explain how I'm setting up my next build.

[@sortfaar3]

i dont see litematica being a problem as long as the hermits are ok with it. the build design must come from somewhere, its not like its coming out of thin air, and i assume in most cases its done by the hermits in a creative world. also you still have to grind the blocks and place them. the only thing that litematica helps with is reducing the chance for errors to happen, and im ok with that.

I always like using Litematica just so I don't limit myself to the blocks/styles easily available in survival. When I build something in creative beforehand I feel like I'm reaching my full creative potential. I don't think there's anything wrong with using it. I think building something twice with the mod is just as impressive as winging it in survival.

[@minette36]

I *adore* schematica/litematica, absolutely invaluable for making maps and statues!

[@akaittou]

I think there's definitely a time and place for something like litematica, especially with big, complex and precise builds or complicated redstone machines. I see it as essentially the same as using one of those websites that tells you exactly what you need and how to make the map art you want - mess of staircasing included. Or as having prebuilt the thing in creative and just cutting out the mind numbing part where you have to manually count every block to make sure nothing goes wonky. Gods know how many circles I've made turned to spirals because of a one block mistake when I did everything manually (don't do the math for a 500 block diameter circle in your head, it's not a good time). The key point with all that stuff is that they should be a tool to help creativity, and not something to religiously depend on. This skeleton base is a perfect example - without litematica it would be a nightmare to figure out where and how to put the bones, to the point I know I wouldn't even want to TRY. But at the same time, the only part that actually feels like it NEEDS that help is the bare bones (ha) and once they're in place, there's still all the possible ways to decorate the skeleton, inside and out, to potentially freestyle.

Slimes can spawn inside portals actually. You can build a massive portal box for the slimes to spawn in and they are teleported into the nether immediately. This is huge for building multiple slime farms in a perimeter.

as a big fan of using all kinds of client side mods to their full potential to make my minecraft life easier and to allow for bigger projects i fully support anyone wo decides to use them on hermitcraft, glad to see you being able to build such an amazing base with the help of it i guess one way to look at it is that the usefulness really depends on the scale people are working at (with a few exceptions ofc) someone like doc breaking mc in crazy was wouldn't want to be stopped by trivialities like copying stuff block by block but if others do the building straight in survival it obviously doesn't make sense to use it but then bigger and more complicated things are much more of a grind and struggle

[@MerkDolf]

Thank you very much, I enjoyed the slime farm more than I think I would have enjoyed the rib cage

[@James_Moton]

Litematica is not only useful for building schematics; there is a feature that allows the mod to calculate how many of each block is within a given area. For example, you can calculate how much diamond ore is within a given area, or check if a Sculk Shrieker or Sculk Sensor is within 16 blocks of yourself.

[@artemis_furrson]

Also Gnembon talked about this, but slime ai is extremely simple, because they do not pathfind. They pick a random direction and jump there. And whenever they aggro towards a mob, they jump towards them in a straight line. This means that slime lag is very negligible. They basically cause the same amount of lag as items so you can get rid of the lava blades to make the farm slightly more efficient.

[@Jake_is_Miffed]

Love the base, it's like living in a Terra Swoop Force map lol

[@CarlFruehan]

[@shaneminer15]

I would choose fall damage to split the slimes. it works on all three sizes, getting rid of the smallest immediately which is ideal, and then the longest time a slime is cleared is the time of the drop plus two spawn cycles from the splitting. should be faster than the lava and large slimes stuck in the lava blade won't block other slimes from jumping off. should definitely be faster

[@rubydupyII]

Pixlriffs mined an entire chunk just using moss and it was a very quick method! Maybe you should check it out ;)

I'm surprised there's any debate about litematica. it's a time saving tool for complex builds that reduces the tedium of having to swap back and forth between creative worlds and having to re-do hours of work when you misaligned part of your build. if you support your content creators designing in creative worlds and being able to put out videos of huge creations with any regularity, then you should support them choosing to use litematica to facilitate that process. it's an optional accessibility tool that doesn't negatively impact other players. for creators and players who don't like using it, they just don't have to use it.

Regarding Litematica I always ask myself: "Do I have creative input, or am I just pasting other people's ideas together?" That's important to me. But at the same time I feel like my way of having fun should NOT define a hard rule for others. Some purists like to free-hand everything, others love to recreate things exactly. As long as you make some agreements about attribution to original creators, and stay honest about your own creative input, it's all good.

[@mgjvd]

Ive been using litematica for a while myself! I tend to use it only for builds that are almost impossible for me to come up with on the fly, so recently I used it to put a boat I designed in creative into the world, and I 9/10 times use it to construct advanced redstone farms, since it’s easier than trying to follow a block to block tutorial. For me it just makes advanced complex builds easier to make, but I still design almost all my creative builds in the survival world itself, since I enjoy the creative process more while in survival

I love the base my head cannon is this is one of the giant remains from XBs base

[@raddad3442]

Sounds like you're having fun and staying interested despite the grindy bits.

[@gargitripathi5667]

Spectator accounts should have access to ‘setblock light’ command from cave lighting

[@SongizVidz]

HAHAHAHA Xisuma: "Imma head in" Flies into skull xD

[@EnvAdam]

The Ribcage almost sounds like some kind of punk club name.

...I know I already wrote a long comment on something else but... 8h of digging? That's... that's scary. Especially considering that if you don't need the deepslate for something you would have just... moss-hoed the pit.

[@elz50]

HEYYY! TFC is already building a tree farm!

[@toebonian1072]

You could open the mouth to fly into. Bigger target to aim for and maybe I little easier to fly out of

[@whitesagegardenproperty6851]

Thanks for showing us how and why some of the hermits choose to use Litematica, I have always been curious. Very cool. For anyone doing full time content creation involving the quality and scale of builds you guys choose to do, I believe this would be absolutely necessary lest you burn out and create more trouble than necessary for yourselves. I am going to start streaming after exams and then maybe Griftology gaming can join season 11? 😅✊🏼

If hermits collaborated at the beginning of a season and built 1 super farm of each farm they needed (as they needed it)... Would that ruin the server by taking away from individual creativity? OR Would it give the hermits a huge increase of resources/time to focus on creativity, base building, landscaping and essentially, world building... IMO, the latter could also increase collaboration, organic pranks / jokes and the quality of mega builds on the server. Decreasing burn out and the need for roleplay.

I think it's the whose farm do we choose Tango makes original designs that are more for fun than efficiency cubfan mumbo and doc have different ways of approaching farms

[@pineapple8375]

x... i wish i couldve told you before that big dig that you could use moss and bonemeal to make that a lot less painful plus the whole thing is self-sufficient if you use an auto-composter

[@pineapple8375]

but yeah you could sell and/or use the deepslate

[@ouchandgamesandmoreouch9662]

If Xisuma made the skull a few months earlier he could have put giant googly eyes on it as an April Fools prank. Also you could add some water to the ribcage elytra entrance to cushion the landing just in case if you fly too fast.

[@hermitcollector]

10:00 lol I thought that zombie in armor was another hermit who got caught up in the explosions

[@SenketsuFi]

i hope x adds the arms and hands, he could set them up like the desert colossus from zelda oot and have the hands holding viewing or landing platforms

[@narrowbeatle1176]

Xisuma should put skeletal arms on the side of the mountain, maybe holding something cool.

[@seancollins8405]

Again reminds me so much of Monkeyfarms old Hermitcraft base. He’s the reason I watch hermitcraft and I hope he’s doing well ❤️😭

[@simic0racle157]

slimes can spawn in the caves you lit up if there are slime chunks.

[@zebrin]

The fact that the skull doesn't have lava coming out of it's eyes is a missed opportunity.
