[@Wampert]

I hope this is the end result

[@GrandiaKnight]

Hopefully that's what will happen or at the very least the Empire players come through to Hermitland.

[@archniki_]

Or it will be possible to have little rifts around Also empires doesn't use much nether, so maybe the nether could be the link

[@justinsmith5870]

I'm assuming at least a few will get sucked through and temporarily settle until the hermits can harness enough LORE to send them back, then possibly occasional crossovers with the magical & dimension hoppers.

[@FernandoSanchez-fx4os]

That has no point simplelly because hermicraft is a tecnical mc server, so they dont need anything from empires due they have more farms and the unique items in empires are supported by mods, an empires dont need anything from hermit sine it woud break their economy which is based on monopolies so no one can have an unlimited source of every resource and they are forced to trade

I think it would be awesome if in Hermitcraft season 10 the hermits would make an omega base like the hermit tower and everyone contributed towards it!

[@ramridererror4606]

That happened in season 8. The botem made a mega base.

[@murpledeer]

With boatem it was a collective area but they all had different mega bases

[@legendary_0551]

Yeah @ramriderror4606 it was kind of connected but everyone just had a different style and it was very separated, and I also mean ALL of the hermits working together

[@michaelkohler1404]

It was also very laggy even with just the 4 Hermits that lived there. I think all the hermits doing a full season base in the same place would cripple the server unfortunately.

[@niccololl]

Or empires goes to hermitcraft and make 1 big empire 😁

[@Chalky2023]

A thought for building with sculk and stone, you can use stone, lichen, sculk, and "sculk vines" to make several block variations that transition between each other. Stone+ sculk vine, or lichen + sculk makes an "almost transformed" block, useful for when stone and sculk would meet each other.

[@Minefnafer22]

I think the change you're thinking about was when it came to mining blocks, that they would more consistently be able to get picked up when mining them above nothing

It’s kinda funny. I used to wonder if you and pix knew each other. You both have similar demeanors and both seem to be quasi leaders of your smps. Love to see you two collaborating

[@itskdog]

AFAIK, fWhip is the admin of Empires, Pix has just been the "lore keeper" in Empires 2 as he's not as in to the RP aspect, but still wanted to be involved, so has been building things for his server mates to find, such as a pirate hideout where one of Joey's villagers had been kidnapped and taken to, for Joey to invade and rescue. Almost like a Dungeon Master in D&D.

[@lachee3055]

the roleplaying in this season is by far your best yet. I really enjoy the narrative the hermits have put here. Unlike previous seasons with the moon, this one is more "vanillia" and allows to people to opt-in to participation. Your personal acting has been on par too, really playing the part it's been a great season to watch! Love your content

Ah, Mythbusting. It has been a long while. Good to see it back, albeit briefly. (Rip Oli, constantly oofing during that fight.) Also, the tag. It may be a bit cringe, but I think the funniest thing for me is how Sausage reacted to getting tagged. And I do agree X, the hat suits him. XD

[@motorhorn]

I think items avoiding fire and void would be good if it scaled with difficulty. Like as they are currently on hard, 25% avoid on normal, and 50% on easy, or something like that.

@@xisumavoid It's a lovely memorial, and I'm sure he'd appreciate it. But, he'd probably also gripe that it's not ugly enough to fit his "Ugly as Sin" theme for the season. You did miss an experiment related to this episode, too. Spreading skulk appeared on many blocks, replacing some, and veining over others. Are there any blocks that can actually stop the spread? Related question. Does the dimension it's in effect the distance it can spread? Of course, in dimensions with multiple biomes, that last part would need to be tested in each of them, to see if that effects the spread. 🤠👍

I really wish the game would punish a little less on death. when I play i use keep inventory on. i'm old, no time for that nonsense. ill grind it out, then i keep

Not sure if it's just a Bedrock thing, but when I have fired rockets next to Endermen instead of at them they won't teleport away but will take explosion damage. Works especially well with Multishot.

I heard you like memes, Xisuma! Pixlriffs: The only problem with being the beacon king is that you always live in darkness.

[@LycanFayn]

I personally play with keepInventory on, so that's my solution for death being less punishing. Honestly, I think if you're playing with the risk of dying adding tension, item safety mechanics would kinda ruin that?

[@chicagogr81]

The crossover has been amazing, I just wish there had been even more interaction and collaboration between content creators. It's getting a bit stagnant right now because there hasn't been much storyline progression and lot of people have had real life issues prioritizing their time. If you can open up the rift and people could then come and go between servers it opens up a lot more possibility.

[@_kaleido]

I hope the Rift stays open too, even if it’s only possible under certain circumstances. I’d love to see the Emperors play Decked out and TCG, maybe even join in on a minigame stream like everyone was theorizing would happen when the Rift first opened on Empires lol

[@atulyankartikeyan]

As Impulse said in one of his live stream, the rift can be opened for few seconds to send the hermits back. Like in Interstellar, they opened the wormhole for few seconds to travel. So the idea of rift being permanently open sounds good but doesn't seems possible.

[@dABiGfATLol]

[@rudysarmiento8700]

Do you think this can be expanded to 3 or 4 severs? If yes tell me what smp do you like to see

[@TCC180]

I've noticed that one of the more popular mods is grave marker type mods that put your items into a container of some kind on death. It's a pretty good option as I feel that just keeping everything on death might remove any consequence of death, but potentially losing everything to the void, lava, or just items disappearing to time can be very frustrating. Personally I'd like to see something added, whether it's a different form of totem, or possibly some kind of enchantment for tools that lets you keep them through one death, but also gets rid of the enchantment so it only works once, then you'd have to re-apply it to all your tools and armor. The new compass only helps so much in the recovery of items, and it's relatively late game, so idk how useful it actually is....

[@eliad6543]

I think this grave thing should be toggleable (so it only happens on easy and peaceful, or as a separate gamerule). Some players like the challenge and the tension of not wanting to die and they've been getting less and less of that as time went on.

[@Tryonus]

Always fun to see mythbusting, thanks! I'm not the right one to ask about item splaying upon death, I usually play with Keep Inventory because I don't like dealing with the time sink of going and recovering stuff. I guess that means I'd prefer them to not explode everywhere and fall into oblivion.

[@alisongaffney374]

I looked up when keep inventory was added to Minecraft it was added in December 2, 2013.

[@wendyhughes8740]

Potential prank back at Cub... seeing as he likes skulk so much spam a load of normal torches in front of his house but place ALL the rescued catalysts under, so when he breaks the torches and kills a mob it will go boom!! Skulk!! Possible provide a guard suitably attired ;) i know right near hermit-tower so debatable if will back fire...

[@admchin]

I ended up using a bunch of dogs to help make the largest possible spawn area and two drop chambers. So many wither skeletons 😂

[@theSeerofThought]

I think that like keep inventory, they should have a togglable feature that drops your items at your feet when you die or in a safe place close to your death, thus adding in another "difficulty" slider into Minecraft without actually using the difficulty setting, Although we could also have it so that Easy has keep inventory automatically on, medium has smart items on and Hard has items splatter. We should also have a feature to control the percent of villagers turn into zombies independently of the difficulty since it's pretty important when not 100%

[@Tanjams]

okay, agree the sculk should probably be limited to the outside base of the tower 😅

[@Kiwimarauder]

Do you think the rift will stay open to ease collabs between members of both SMPs? You probably know and wont tell bc of spoilers, but I just thought Id ask anyway

[@darianleyer5777]

Hey, at least the Hermitcraft Logo on the tower actually looks good in Skulk! Let's just hope that Cub doesn't hide a catalyst on the face of the local Grumbot.

[@darianleyer5777]

[@darianleyer5777]

Is the hearts turning gray when Withered a texture pack thing? Because it should totally be vanilla.

[@doge229]

maybe the game could use a rare consumable that gives you one charge of keepInventory? something using Notch Apples so it wouldn't be renewable?

[@Werewolf914]

Maybe in Normal and Easy mode they could make it back to where items will try to land on a safe block, but for Hard mode keep it how it is now so that it's more forgiving on only easier difficulties?

[@timperman9883]

I wish minecraft would adopt the gravestone concept seen in other survival games. At least as a gamerule. Meaning, instead of all your items shooting out everywhere, you drop a gravestone / coffin that contains all of your items. Could perhaps be a new type of chest that automatically gets placed with your stuff inside when you die.

[@alysoffoxdale]

I do not have actual knowledge to contribute here, but I do have a feeling that items didn't used to scatter as far as they do now when you die. These days you're likely to lose things just because you didn't look far enough around, even when you still have time before they would despawn. It would be interesting to test how far items can scatter, and I think the test should include a variety of different heights (i.e. how far up that cliff did you splat or get shot). I'm also wondering whether "kinetic energy" spreads items farther than a more static death does.

[@aureaux]

Even though I’m late to the party, I love how everyone is being nice to Cub because LORE even though they don’t like the sculk

[@GuivieiraPT]

There is a thing where if you throw a trident at the void it will come back to land I think, maybe that's what you were thinking of?

[@TheGrumpBunny]

Thanks for another great upload X!

[@silvergami]

Getting your things voided is the worst, I wish they added the feature where they would land on nearby blocks

[@zibasPk]

I think diminishing the risks makes the game more boring and bland, if you don't want to lose items while playing you could just play with keepinventory on.

[@Blubbii88]

What I don't like at all is how random you can lose your most valuable items. I made a create mod server for me and me brother and at one time, he was playing around in the nether with his potato cannon and shooting pigmen. When he went into the portal, pigmen were camping in front of the portal and stunlocked him in the nether portal decoration he setup, around it some fire to make it look better. He died and all his items srpead across and the only thing that was destroyed was the potato cannon witth the best enchants by far we had at that point. From all the items, his favorite one was the only thing that was flying so unlucky, it ended up in this small fire. Really took down the mood and he took away the fire to make it safer instead of prettier. The graveyard datapack gives back a lot of fun in exploring and we don't end up on a timer, where we already had cases where items would despawn in front of our eyes, because our gear was filled up with garbage during the excavation getting to the body. Minecraft shouldn't be this punishing, it can already take a long time to get to where you died. Setting up new respawn points along the journey just to be sure to be close IF you die is not the way I want to play.

[@NoobixCube]

I'm not usually in the "get good, scrub" camp, but if you don't like your items burning or falling into the void, the solution is simple: don't die near fire or void. I think Minecraft has enough soft edges these days that death should still induce panic and dread. The counter-incentive to using all netherite fully enchanted gear is the time investment in replacing it if it's lost. It's already harder to die when you have better gear, so if you manage to die with good gear, there _should_ be an element of punishment to it. Of course, one thing I've always wanted in Minecraft has been a reason to use different tiers of armour instead of things being a straight upgrade. There's no reason to wear leather after you get iron, no reason to wear iron after you get diamond, no reason not to upgrade the diamond to netherite. Recent versions have made it so leather shoes keep you from sinking into powdered snow, and gold anything keeps piglins from getting angry at you, but they're really niche cases. What if gold armour and tools could get enchanted to a much higher level? Imagine nonsense like "fortune VII" on a pick. What if leather armour provided a speed bonus over heavier gear? Or an extra row of inventory because you're not so encumbered? I can't think of a way to incentivise diamond over netherite right now, but I genuinely think Minecraft needs reasons NOT to always upgrade your gear. You should have to give something up in the process.

[@dickidyang7135]

Finally someone do something about those green cancer~~~ Good job!

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

With the new compass that points to the location of your last death, it's already punishing enough... I would put a gamerule that made it easier though

[@vrad_exe]

I do remember them making a change at one point so that items would land in a small pile at your feet when you died instead of flying off in every direction, and was surprised when I played survival in a modern version and found that it had been reverted to the original behavior. I never really went and properly tested this in older versions, but if other people remember similar things then maybe it's true?

[@JMR7Six]

Hello Games recently added some new difficulty features in a recent update to No Man's Sky. You can choose the level of difficulty for certain aspects of the game, such as economy, level of hostility from NPC's, items being kept or lost after a death, cost of building, etc. You can also lock it in meaning once you set everything and lock it, you can't change it back. It would be interesting to see if Mojang could implement something similar.

[@fantrash222]

I know the logo is made of skulk and all that stuff but it also looks really cool

[@AnimilesYT]

I think there should be a setting to toggle the item distribution to avoid things like fire, lava, falling into the void, or falling off cliffs. It could also possibly be a slider setting where like 0 will make it purely random like how it is now and 100 will always prevent your items from getting destroyed where possible. Falling in the void or falling in lava with the setting on 100 could maybe even place the items in the place where the player last touched the ground. While we're at it, having a setting to change the item despawn time could also be a nice feature to have. Due to lag reasons I don't know if this should apply to the item despawn time for everything though. Maybe there can be 3 categories. Items from player deaths, items dropped by players, and other items

20:35 YES! Absolutely less punishing for deaths. I especially dislike the de-spawn timer of only 5 min, should be at least 30+ min for "inventory items that comes out of a dead players inventory", (just throwing out normally, eg. trashing items on the ground, should still have the same 5-min de-spawn time).
