We really have come full circle now. Grian not finishing the back of his base ended up making Doc finish the walls of his base!

Stick around long enough and you'll get to the point of saying the same thing to someone, but instead of "is 2.5" it'll be "is in university"

[@charlielewis3261]

Re: Being the Bad Guy - the Buttercup war was a perfect example as to how as Hermits you all created content with a story line that was so funny and enjoyable to watch and while you were 'at war' with each other it's clear you are all friends and it is all done with good humour and you are all enjoying pranking and being pranked by each other. You can't please everyone Doc but it is always a pleasure to watch your videos and anyone who watches them regularly knows it's all good fun.

[@sambuma]

Buttercups were the bad guys anyway since they started it by destroying the tunnel bore. Grian came out almost unscathed as far as retribution goes and still insisted on "Poking the Goat."

[@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale]

"Don't tell Pearl" Doc says, looking at more shulker boxes full of eggs. You afraid of Pearl going mom mode on you again?

[@cupcakegaming882]

Who isn’t afraid of Pearl going mom mode though… that woman is SCARY you do not want to mess with Pearl

[@cherrydragon3120]

I totaly would :P

[@thememeqween]

I think that universally speaking, any and everyone should be scared of Pearl during mom mode.

Too late. ;)

i'd rather it be pearl on mom mode over it being 5am life series pearl.

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

49:27 Any time I'm reminded that Doc calls False "Falsie" it puts a smile on my face.

[@LavenderTownsGhost]

I agree with the sand duping for personal use only, especially since you're planning on making the concrete powder manually. On an unrelated note, if/when you inevitably get into a prank war with Gran again, you should cover his base with buttons, inside and out. maybe have a few of them do something simple so he's tempted to try and push all of them. it'll keep him busy for a while at least ;)

[@niesson9456]

And leave a note taunting him and egging him on: "Have you found out what all the buttons do yet?"

[@glorwentheelf3381]

Recently I had a random dream where I was on Hermitcraft myself, and asked Doc for some obsidian. In the chests, I found no obsidian, but 7 nether portals were stacked into one slot as an item, and somehow my subconscious didn't question it one bit. I think that just shows how nothing is too crazy when it's Doc we are talking about :D

[@thenopequeen]

Absolutely normal Hermitcraft experience. Nothing to see here

[@namename3130]

Every dream I have the place im in visually is not the place I think it is in the dream

[@cyndrigaming]

I love how this both speaks on the bewilderment of weird dreams, and the normalcy of weird things Doc does LOL

[@Stettafire]

I once dreamed I built a cliffside pub/travern for the various Hermitcraft members to hang out in as a community thing, then inside it was a secret entrance into my underground base. I can count on one hand how much I've built underground bases in Minecraft... Actually I can't because it's zero 🤣

[@namename3130]

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how baller Doc really is... over a year into the server and JUST NOW Doc has obtained the Advancement "Enchanter" for using an Enchanting Table to enchant a piece of gear... all those pre-enchanted pieces of gear traded from villagers plus enchanted books and anvil application totally subverted the "Enchanter" Advancement... thats pretty insane to be honest!

[@zenu903]

Well, same for Hypno, he also didn't have the advancement

Was watching gems 1000 day video where doc had full Dimond and the ice walking boot thing like 25 mins in.

[@thomassexton6783]

Pearls episode just dropped and she found a flaw in your sand farm without realizing it. The deep slate diamond ore are blocking one of the shuckers from becoming full and breaking.

[@MWeeks9]

As a fellow dad, I LOVE hearing Doccy stories from the perspective of a tired dad. I identify so much with the "sleep with mommy and daddy in a tiny bed" situation. It's always a lesson learned to do everything I can to find the biggest bed ever lol

[@Departmentofnaturalresources]

I have a large bed and all it allows is the child to go more sideways so that your able to just duck into rem sleep before the child winds up and kicks you in the kidneys rather than just ducking in and out of light sleep

[@Katharina-rp7iq]

My friend had a similar Problem with triplets. Now they bring one of those roll up a futons if at all possible so they can all sleep on the floor together if necessary cause there is no you can get 3 kids around 4-5 by now I think into one bed. It helps that they have a minibus and mostly drive to where they go on vacation.

[@morosis82]

This morning my 8yo and 5yo both piled in next to me while I'm trying to protect mum because she's been up all night with the 5 day old in the bassinet next to her. Send help.

Apparently as a toddler I managed to shove both parents to the sides of a king size bed. There’s no limit to kids taking up space!

[@OrchidGaming]

as a lifelong insomniac, here are my certified tips to fall asleep when you just can't: -white noise, there are lots of different kinds, i like rain bc i find rain relaxing -keeping the room colder -gentle stretches help your body relax -avoid eating big meals an hour before bed -i put on a podcast, something simple I've listened to before, and it lets my brain zoned out, I reccomend the imp and skizz podcast or hello from the hallowwoods -the alphabet method, where as you're trying to fall alseep, pick a category and try to name something for each letter it is worth noting even with these tips i still take melatonin to help, but theres pleanty to try before that :)

[@BTVSlayer84]

great advice, those work for me as well. One thing you can add is “Earl Grey Tea with bergamot” 🙂

[@unknowndane4754]

I personally love background noise, so often find youtube videos that don't require a lot of attention and then turn my back to my laptop playing it and then I better fall asleep.

[@za91848]

I like these. I've also found Feather and Down Sweet Dreams pillow spray helps more than I wish it did - makes me feel such an old lady! Expect there's something similar and equally effective available in Germany

[@Stettafire]

Yeah I got sick last year and only like 90% normal now

[@benrex7775]

_"Dear doc"_ I see what you did there.

[@BadgerRaccoon]

Hey Doc, one thing ive found helps me sleep better at night is just to make sure i spend some time in the sun when i wake up. Photons from the suns rays are essential for syncing our circadian rhythm with the day. Try to make sure you are in the sun for 5-10 minutes within the first hour you wake up for this to work best!

[@jenniseven3289]

You know with all those wardens you could borrow a couple and “misplace them”

[@Rissapointment]

Hi Doc! When Grian covered the perimeter I was finally like "Okay I have to watch this guys series" so I came over and binged your entire Hermitcraft series in about a week lol. Proud to say Im finally caught up with the series. That being said youve inspired me to finally learn redstone properly and Ive built my first item sorter!! Thank you so much for the chill vibes and motivation. Keep doing you!! Edit: For those of you wondering how I did it, I sort paperwork and my boss allows me to have youtube on in the background lol. Id occasionally watch an episode or two lying in bed at the end of the day but working 6 hours a day and having it on as I worked got me through the majority of the series.

[@serealll]

Sometimes my work week sucks, and the one thing I look forward to most on Friday nights is coming home and watching the Doc’s HC episodes.

[@LeeLuvid]

Doc saying he reads the comments every time after posting is so wholesome 😭 this is why he's one of my favorites out here, he's the goat

[@ellobellooo]

Doccy might’ve been paid by the buttercups to sabotage the goat with shleep ahahaha

[@liz5100]

Honestly your commitment to reading comments and engaging with people is on a whole other level from every single other youtuber I've ever ran into, including other hermits. I remember a couple of comments of mine that as long as it was the first day a video came out you had liked or been a part of the thread the comment was in. You 100% feel like a central part of your community rather than like most others where there's a fan club for someone completely separate from them.

[@MrWaterWaffle]

Wow it’s crazy how you described EXACTLY my experience was when I went to the country side with my 2.5 year old at the time. My son is now 4 and I can tell it gets better 😅

One thing I love most about Doc’s episodes is how long they are. It’s always nice to grab a snack, get comfy, and play it on the TV like it’s an episode of a TV show. Always a highlight of my day whenever Doc uploads

[@nicolasjoly6948]

Doc should put a new egg on the porch of Pearl every time she remove it... He could go for a while like this

[@kektics3074]

I like your reasoning behind the whole sand duping thing doc! When I look at hermitcraft’s diamond economy I see it as a way to pay for the effort the other player put into gathering the item rather than the item itself, shulker boxes for example were worth way more before they became farmable, and for personal use anything goes to me at least

[@Berserk_Loon]

Xisuma knocked out of the park with bed wars. That looked like a lot of fun but very chaotic. I loved it!

[@zachoxley]

I'd love to see a husk farm in a desert biome being a good alternative to sand farming.

[@monatae9725]

yes, this! they've adjusted mob drops before, why not have husks drop sand?

Would be additionally interesting due to husks' unique spawn mechanics, needing skylight access etc

I love how you are so rooted in the community and how the videos are more slowpaced instead of the fastpaced attentiongrabbing present videos. It gives me an hour of pure relaxation. Sidenote, I'm still interested in the docm77 official metal stand. Today's music recommendation is "portrait of a blank slate" from lovejoy, a band rooted in the minecraft community. It's indierock with hints of metal. Love to hear what you think about it!

[@epicadian]

The bed war looks like a lot of fun! That said, I think maybe its best to leave diamond out of it ... if you lose one skirmish and the other team is soaked in diamonds its essentially game over , but iron would be easier to stockpile by your bed and have more of a back and forth. Great video!

[@user-em4id1rb2v]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have an artwork of child doc digging in sand while watching his future self building a sand duper? Jokes aside, again a nice long video fitting for after work on a Friday evening.

[@chicagogr81]

It's Friday, before a 3 day weekend, where I've got fun plans lined up... and yet it all still seems secondary to a new video from the GOAT. Glory and honor to the Hivemind forever and ever!

[@potato_723]

I think more hermits should showcase fanart. It's really cool and encourages the community. Love your content too

[@MichaelMoore99]

I'm loving that the "New Life" series (which some Hermits are on) has a mod that allows custom art to be imported directly into the game as paintings.

[@Educationey]

One of the perimeter walls should be educational, labelling the various levels and where you can find ores (for setting a mining machine to the right level, ofcourse!).

[@hermitfan109]

That's an excellent idea!

[@theimmortalhipster]

Doc you are absolutely the sweetest and most supportive person ever and somehow also the most terrifying too😂😂😂

[@Sock-Monster-Simian]

The concept for X's game really went over my head when I watched his video (or I just completely forgot). Seeing it actually played, this is an awesome idea. I love that you have to use the materials in the field to upgrade as well as tunnel. Super cool.

[@lisebakker2642]

Doc, I found your content around a year ago when Grian first came over to check out the World Eater. I wasn't initially sure on you because of your videos being longer form (and I have ADHD which makes the longer videos hard for me) But today I saw your video go up and just thought you should know that I had an amazing dopamine spike, and I'm all settled in to watch the whole thing because I absolutely LOVE your channel. I love the way that you interact with the other hermits, I love your absolute redstone insanity (I do not understand red stone at all so to quote a certain Tango of the Tek variety, I love your voodoo magic) and I love your total down-to-earth nature. Thank you so much for your content, you are appreciated and you are very loved :) Hearing the intro music literally makes my entire day!

[@sebashoupst3603]

Melatonin is natural. I know you said you don’t like sleep aids, but one night will help reset your sleep schedule

[@saleo37]

Yep, agreed. Melatonin spray was the only thing that helped me.

[@flutterin4595]

I've done once a presentation about sleep in High School so I will quote stuff from it to help you Doc. Try to still follow somewhat consistent schedule, of course it's hard to do after a break, but if you are not traveling in a very long distance where your timezone changes drastically, **try to still fall asleep and wake up in a consistent time.** Recommended time to fall asleep is 22:00 - 24:00, they tell our organism gets the best sleep out of it. It's also recommended to get into the bed 30 minutes earlier. Don't do any hardwork or eat 2-3 hours before the bed. That is where comes phrase like "don't eat after 7". Instead do something relaxing. Keep your bed clean, keep yourself clean, and it's nice thing to have proper sleeping clothes too. Give some fresh air into your room before you fall asleep, room temperature should be around 16-18°C (I am sorry I don't know how much it is in Fahrenheits). And that is it. I hope some of these will help you if they will. My personal favourite is having somewhat consistent schedule. I even have an alarm even though I don't really need it currently. Good luck again

[@Pinnix]

This may sound odd but the perimeter walls seen from mid give me a gray Gustav Klimpt vibe. The longer I look at it the more I want to see a full color panel recreating some Klimpt art.

[@adventurer180]

Could integrate some winding or flowing water or lava to add movement to the walls of the perimeter.

[@SamJG99]

I love Sleepytime tea. It’s caffeine free green tea and you can sweeten it with a small bit of honey. It’s my first line of defense against bad sleep, would highly recommend.

[@qocket]

Good to see some more competitive Hermit actions, Xisuma's minigame is so inventive, yet old school.

[@fredrikmossa3981]

Dear Doc, I've more or less fixed my sleep by listening to and adhering to the advice offered in the Huberman Lab podcast (episode two, with more info in 3 and 4). In short, light affects sleep more than anything else.

Also, to automate the decorating of the perimeter wall, check out cubicmetre's Perimeter printer

[@carldinkelacker4463]

I think that might have been the first time doc didn't build a crasy hive mind farm, but instead a normal sand duper😂

[@calebS.Buddy_drum_Rich]

Doc, The U.S. branches of the military use a technique to fall asleep within 2 minutes. I have tried it and it worked about 3-5 (but it is said to improve over time). Here are the steps - * Close your eyes * Breath calmly and large slow breaths during all of this • First you meditate focusing on each part of your body separately. - Start with your head getting into a good position that feels calm going down too your feet - You shouldn't feel anything, except your calm breath. • Now you clear your mind from your thoughts. - All you do is close your eyes and think the words "don't think, don't think, don't think" - This takes your mind though to "don't think" rather than anything else. * It may take a few trys but it works and it is easier than it sounds * Also practice meditation ( Knowing how to meditate it key) meditation is extremely simple try it out

[@Lorenoth]

An idea for the morphing walls: placing an etho clock for each image could allow you to change 1 at a time, kind of like a background randomizer on your pc, less lag since only 1 ever changes at a time... maybe too much work but we do love the grind! Oh and doc... my 7 y.o. still tries to sleep in mine and the wifes bed from time to time goodluck with that 😂

I know this is random but after hearing scar spoil his season 10 plans Scar Wars I wanted to ask, could you imagine creating a Death Star over the shopping district this or next season. Just a cool, random Hermitcraft lore idea.

[@fatesend8637]

You could bury at least Grian's base in sand since they like terraforming so much. The sand duper is the perfect way to start that.

[@DanielNerd]

Have you ever considered doing a KZbin premiere? It would be so cool to interact with the community live and see everyone’s reactions to different parts of the video.

[@CorgiGirl-bh9gt]

I’m a somewhat new viewer and your videos never cease to surprise me. The fact that you can understand Redstone as well as you can just blows my mind.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day, and I hope you can get some sleep

[@Mady_Cat]

I have some sleep aid tips, I've struggled with insomnia since I was a child, even today it doesn't always come easy I'm sure you've probably heard most of these before, But here's some little tips I've picked up, turning all screens to night mode at least 2 hours before bed, not wearing headphones or earbuds before bed along with having volumes of music/tv very low Avoid eating spicy dense or sugar rich food at night to avoid heartburn, however eating a high protein meal 2-4 hours before bed (protein takes a while to break down, but if it's past your stomach then you won't get hungry throughout the night) Avoid alcohol before bed Having a bit of salt before bed (you'll have some fluid retention so you won't wake up to use the toilet in the night) a weighted blanket, a cold bedroom, white noise machine, stretching an hour before bed, lavender in your room (either fresh or a spray for your pillow) Also if you're a side sleeper try to sleep more on your left side in opposed to right side ( this way your stomach is positioned lower then your esophageal opening, decreases risk of heartburn) and maybe journaling or list making if there's any anxieties or having a busy mind before bed As for supplements, chamomile or lavender tea help (non caffeinated), you could also try valerian root, and personally I'm a big fan of CBD oil capsules (there's no thc so you don't get high, it's specifically a muscle/mental relaxant) People tend to hype up melatonin pills, but those really only work if you take it the same time everyday, because you're training your brain to naturally release melatonin at that time and you shouldn't be taking those longer then 2 weeks. If you need something stronger I've used 10mg Quetiapine (prescription only) It's an antipsychotic but a sedative in low doses Hope this helps, even if it's a little 💕 💤

[@ethanwhite6401]

When you first started growing a lot of tomatoes in your garden and wouldn't stop going on about how you love tomatoes I thought it was a bit over the top, but now I can't stop thinking about how great tomatoes are. My son loves tomatoes and I'm sure little doccy shares that sentiment. Next year the garden is going to be dedicated to tomatoes. It will be mostly tomatoes and then some vegetables to make things with the tomatoes like salsa and salads.

[@monatae9725]

Basil is a great accompaniment for tomatoes, and it grows big and fast! Nothing like making a sandwich with fresh picked tomato and herbs. 😊

[@DavidJohnsonFromSeattle]

Before all that, you need to remove all the landscaping below grians base down to bedrock. Make it look like a chunk error and teach him a lesson! Otherwise, yeah, dupe the sand and just don't sell it. I don't see how anyone can complain if you do that. Also, a reminder that the great Etho once said that only chumps don't use TNT to mine sand. It is actually faster!

[@my-king]

As a guy in his 40s my tip for sleep is kinda simple. Have a bath, soak yourself. Make sure your bed is clean too. You need to feel safe and clean to sleep. Hope you see this as it's a bit late. Great video Doc, long time fan.

[@chiree3693]

I love the way Doc talks about his family. Absolute legend. Also, look up military methods of falling asleep, they tend to have things like that down to a science, literally.

[@CaptainTigger]

Sleep suggestion: hot shower before bed, then a cool bedroom. Hot shower constricts the surface blood vessels as you cool down it they relax and it makes you feel naturally sleepy plus the heat relaxes the muscles

[@durumelekdogru420]

Aaand it's here! Can't wait to see this week's progress! Hope you had your fun without letting them relax hehe Make 'em flee, Doc.

[@ashl4848]

Hey doc. For a good nights sleep you can try those breathing exercises. So basically you must lie on the bed and breathe through your nose for 4 seconds then hold for 7 seconds and then exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat it for sometime. Body will relax eventually and if you do it perfectly it just takes 5-10 minutes. My therapist shared me this method. (I have severe insomnia and I sometimes have to rely on pills however it is always worth a shot.) ❤

[@MissAglais]

I have an IDEA :) Not all of our lives should be taken by machines :) Grind - someone else will gather stuff, Optimize - more hands to work, Automate - You can be a Bauleiter, Thrive - peace on the server to work and build. If you allow other Hermits to do your Wall Work everyone can come up with different designs. You can choose color/material to work with and Hermits can come up with their concepts. Just separate and frame parts of the Wall.

[@seraphiralilith2920]

As a raging Insomniac since birth and a couple of tricks I learned from my therapist: - Keep the room cool - Counting breaths, keep them regulated and just focus on breathing and nothing else (Always try to exhale longer than breathe in, as well) - Tensing muscles until they staert trembling and then relaxing them again with each exhale: start with legs, then arms, then back, and then entire body and then "mmelting" further with each exhale - Listening to white noise. Rain is really good (no thunderstorms), or singing bowls, or delta-wave music for relaxing and falling asleep - And occasionally doing repetitive, little work can also be really sleep inducing. I fell asleep oder embroidery, knitting and crotcheting projects quite often. It's just gotta be something small that doesn't take up much thinking

The engagement with the community keeps me here, for sure Doc. I can't offer too much in the way of advice for sleeping aid, for me melatonin does the trick, but only on nights where I need to be up the next morning. It isn't for everyone. I can't wait to see the wall designs though! I've bee excited about the walls for quite a long time, as cool as the walls are now!

I think zerg rushing the middle would have been ideal. If you can steal their diamonds before they get to them, that's ideal. Set up a forward staging area, etc. You can _always_ just close the tunnel back in behind yourself.

I come for the game-breaking redstone machines. I stay for Hermits playing with Hermits.

Scab land makes me think both of the sketchy old parks pre regulations and dismal land which was an art installation with creepy mildly grotesque cartoon statues.

Looking at a Docm77's video, it's a good way to relax and fall asleep at the end 😉

[@docm77]

Good night

[@melsunday1991]

I really like the 1 hour format of the videos. Idk what it is. It gives time for us to chill out like watching a movie. Not too Short that we lose engagement, and not too long like a stream. And always love your stories of things too.

[@williamdonnell6958]

One of my favorite things to do is watch the background as doc talks to us viewers at the end of the videos because the care he puts into the details of his builds is just amazing to me and its a perfect opportunity to look at it all

[@nickbailey4096]

You could beat the buttercups at their own game - build a cloud over their bases at build height. They won't be able to remove it so easily and hostile mobs will spawn all over their bases 😮

[@sinninginsadness1225]

I love these videos man, I only recently got back into hermitcraft but I'm so glad that I did! It seems so crazy but so fun and I just hope everyone who is on it has a good time!

[@manymanyatoms9327]

When I saw the video notification, I felt an excitement for the chaos that you create, different from when Grian or Mumbo uploads. It’s quite late so I won’t finish the video today, but I’ll definitely watch it tomorrow!

[@Joshua-xw4qo]

Doc you have taught me more about minecraft than anybody else, so thanks for all that you do, and keep braking minecraft.

[@midnapotter3860]

Lavender scent is good for helping relax the brain and having some soothing relaxation music playing in background helps me

[@chadsnazzy2634]

can't wait to see what the GOAT and he buttercups get up to next

[@tedtoroa]

Having some sleep problems of my own tonight but a new video from Doc makes me feel better! If I can't sleep then at least I can watch the GOAT 💕🐐

[@Jorsfel]

Great episode Doc! Regarding sleep issues, I suffered from chronic insomnia for ~15 years, I had tried everything, visualisation techniques, oils, sleep hygiene practices, etc. and nothing would work. For a long time I took medications like Diazepam and Zolpidem, and while I would sleep, my sleep quality was not good, and I was always foggy the following day, even at low doses. The ONLY things that actually helped me in a meaningful way that didn't negatively impact the rest of my life was a combination of three things. 1. Regular weight training exercise 2. (optional) Low dose of Melatonin a few hours before bed (natural hormone that promotes sleep) 3. Going to bed at the same time every night Obviously it's not always possible to do 1 and 3 consistently, but 2 helps to support those times and keep you getting high quality sleep. Finding this combo has literally changed my life, and I hope my n=1 anecdotal experience is useful in some way haha. All the best, wishing you good sleep!

[@ChillingWithOtto]

this video feel so much like the og minecraft videos where you just muck around with friends while recording and i absolutely love it. its so chill while still being so chaotic and it's just so nostalgic a feeling. that was awesome

[@Xacris]

aw yeah, back to our regularly scheduled GOAT programming! What a way to start a holiday weekend

[@idk32lol]

You make my least favorite day of the week much more tolerable. Knowing there's going to most likely be a new hermitcraft episode that's near an hour really motivates me. Thank you so much

[@ks-yl9ed]

the bedwars game technically has a loophole, where if you cover the bed in obsidian that touches the wall, the other team isn't allowed to mine that obsidian, as it touches the walls.

[@tyronorxy5646]

An easy way to fall asleep almost instantly is to do excessive mental work beforehand, so that you get tired mentally (not physically). You'll fall asleep in like 40 seconds. Trust me I know. Also: make sure it's pitch black in the room, that helps a lot.

[@mandyhardin-yv7yw]

Enjoyed this ep. Can't wait to see what kind of mini game you are going to create also looking forward to see the wall decorations sorry to hear your vaca was miserable such a bummer especially when you wanted to chill

[@ShakuraKazuki]

Hearing from you how much you love and appreciate fan art makes me incredibly happy.

[@buildmaster6262]

Another awesome video! I’m a relatively new viewer, and always craving long content on KZbin, and these are absolute gems so far : ) Thanks for taking us through your adventures as the GOAT of Hermitcraft!

[@equalityforallhumans]

The lack of organization was hard to watch. I totally get it! False and Doc should each lead a team against one another!! Thank you for your hard work Doc and the hermits!!! Y’all have kept me company throughout some rough patches in life. I fell in love with hermitcraft during quarantine in 2020. Thank you for everything that you do!!
