It's jarring to know just how productive X is. He works out, plays plenty of instruments, makes incredible music, manages the technical aspects of a whole server and best of all, he provides high-quality videos on an almost daily basis. Keep up the good work dude.

I have always secretly wished for this video! Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the rest. Edit: Now that this series has concluded, I figured I'd come back here and ask if anyone has recommendations for more technical deep dives for the nerdier among us. For example, I would love an even deeper dive into the configs and stuff like the dockerfile, orchestration mechanism, distro choice, backups and so on for a server as seasoned as Hermitcraft.

[@Stulkiss]

Loved It~!

[@alisongaffney374]

Will the Minecraft server pack work on Minecraft bedrock server’s ?

[@imoutodaisuki]

Can't wait for the rest of the videos!

[@mit_thrawn_uruodo]

Literally spent the last three days setting up a local host for mods for my family. Pulling my hair out all the way. Always wanted to know how hermitcraft did it.

[@gozzilla177]

The hardest part of maintaining a server is usally the first time you do anything or run into a problem, once you have experienced something enough it becomes 2nd nature I use to spend hours and hours on the server me and my friends use but as we go back to old games they are easy to set up but new games only depend on how settings and smaller changes are handled some are faster then others depending on how similar to previous games they are.

[@Benny_Boo___]

@@gozzilla177 yeah the first stuff is the worst, i remember how long it took me to port forward my mc server for the first time, it was the worst

[@mit_thrawn_uruodo]

@@Benny_Boo___ I found that to be the easiest part since I can do that on an app on my phone.

X is such a skilled person when it comes to this stuff, thanks for the memories X :)

[@wChris_]

sure... just watch docm77 last video where X deleted his Arrow cannon. At least he skillfully deleted it!

[@The_Hydration_Police]

This sounds slightly similar to how sakurai is giving his knowledge on making games. I love it!

[@matthewparker9276]

I was really exited when X started talking about dedicated server hosting and debian installs, etc. It is definitely the type of thing I'd come to KZbin to watch.

[@itmeurdad]

Agreed! I'm spamming this request elsewhere, but I'll high-jack your high-visibility post to request: if anyone has more technical references/resources, I'd love recommendations!

[@progenitor_amborella]

Yes that was one of the biggest things I was looking for here!

[@rmzing]

I absolutely love all the modded blocks being featured as backdrop for the conversation. I want to nerd out and list everything, but even I don't know all of them.

[@ShugarMeat]

I def recognized his old modded server room build 😊

[@F1reFireBall]

Agree. It's mostly just AE2

[@bp42s56]

mostly AE2 and chisel

[@Grafii2198]

Mainly AE's ME Drives with some storage cells randomly put in, Wrench from Ender IO (god the nostalgia) and rest are decorative block from Chisel mainly "Laboratory Blocks" altho I may be wrong but that hexagonal wall reminds of block from Ztones.

I've been absolutely loving these Minecraft discussions. Gives great insight on lots of things a lot of us may not have known about!

[@derpy_blue]

right? minecraft videos seem all like just fun and games, while underneath there's a whole complicated machinery governing it

[@Grymgar]

This is a great idea for a video Xisuma. Its almost like we are on the same wavelength because I had wondered why no server admin had really taken the time to break down what running an SMP is like for KZbin. Then again, you are a creator and many server admins who do this are as well, so that can consume so much time. Our server admin is pretty capable and we have already implemented all the features of Hermitcraft that we like, but there are others out there who may need additional assistance figuring this out. Good on you!

[@JamAttack]

man this is unbelievably helpful, there's plenty of people out there who would just keep this stuff to themselves for their own benefit but you're helping so many people by giving some of the best tips on running a server I've seen. You're the best, seriously.

hello xisuma, there is now a better alternative to the phospor mod called starlight it has better preformance improvements than phosport

[@sortfaar3]

Making your version of minecraft available through curseforge is absolutely brilliant. it removes most errors people would get when trying to set it up by themselves, and lets you link to it whenever somebody asks about all the things you have installed. Thank you for providing some insight, can't wait for part 2 and 3

[@yearsagowhen66]

Looking forward to the rest of this series. I find this back of house stuff very interesting, thanks for showing us behind the curtian!!

[@spacehead10]

@French Моntana music 🅥 why are you making fun of yourself 💀🤖

[@SkyfighterZX]

Really cool insights! I love these technical things and you and your team do an amazing job running the server, sometimes mistakes happen like we've seen but you always fix it quick, like when the nether became the end chunks because of some folder mixing, or when you deleted docm's underground cannon, so thank you and your team for bringing us the best viewer experience possible and to the hermit's bedt playing experience!

[@justcausee]

Ayo. As someone who's messed around with linux distros and docker...I am glad that you gus are doing it yourselves. Its nice when the guy sitting in the server room is also playing the game on the server.

[@ArrowStudios]

Very cool to see behind the curtains, thanks for keeping things running smoothly as it can all these years!

[@funbot5780]

thank you for doing this series! i have been making my own "hermitcraft" servers for a while and it is real nice to see all that goes on behind the curtain

[@SciFiGirlGamez]

Thank you for this video X! I love seeing this technical side of how to maintain a server :D It gives me some more tools that I didn't know existed to keep my own worlds healthy and also extra options for making the vanilla aspects of the game more custom and refreshing without delving too much into mods w/ friends who are not mod-savvy. I'm excited for the rest of the videos keep it up!

[@Aenyn]

Thank you for putting this together! It’s so neat to see behind the scenes!

[@InimitableMrG]

Thank you. This was very interesting and covered a lot of great stuff. I plan on re-watching it periodically since this solves some of the problems I'm seeing even in my single player world.

[@Robrt476]

As some one that is running their own server( I was handed the reigns earlier this year) this information is vital. I look forward to the other videos because I'm having some problems that you may be able to help me with. Thank you.

I really appreciate you putting this together. As someone inspired to run a small server because of hermitcraft, these tools are a big help.

[@brickie9816]

Well I think it would be really neat if you told us about more technical side of hosting a server. I think a youtube video (especially one made by someone as experienced as you) IS a great place to learn about setting up debian distributions with docker, pterodactyl control panel, setting up SSH/SFTP and subscribe. (Whatever that things are. I'm really curious about that last thing. What could it be?)

[@tobywankenobi3088]

I'm actually a huge IT nerd and I'm studying for sysadmin. I would actually love to hear about all the debian stuff!

[@aloeera]

I like how you use Applied Energistics for visuals! Something that many players are familiar with and can easily visualize much better than complex real world maths and computer stuff!

[@doomawsogaming]

[@Wiejeben]

Awesome, thanks for putting together this pack! I’ve always liked how even with these mods the experience still is about as vanilla as it gets

[@Boganella]

I am so hecking excited for the next videos in this series xisuma is one of the most well spoken youtubers I know and seeing him answer questions ive run into running my own mc server is such a treat

[@SILVERF0X13]

Interesting video. Thanks for the quick list of the important mods. I generally run pure vanilla on my server, but getting some of those optimizing mods could likely really help things out. Coords finder and the silent mobs mods are also both technically non-vanilla things that I think all my players would be interested in as well since they don't really harm the vanilla experience other than not needing to mute mobs in certain areas.

[@Zenologia4673]

This is actually really helpful as my friend and I are possibly looking at starting a server. Lot of notes taken. Looking forward to the next two vids!

[@adamarcieri]

Thank you for this video! I've been waiting to know how it's done for a long time.

[@pixelg5173]

Really looking forward to the social aspects!! Great video, X! ❤

[@christopherhorsman5023]

This was awesome Xisuma! From my perspective, this was a wonderful learning experience. Your explanations were thorough enough to either explain in detail the purpose in why a choice was made or you provided you helped point out a resource that could be used in research to customize/personalize a community's own server. Too often people when asked may spam a performance improvement mod list, or a server build with little explanation, & not realize that the person asking may be asking because they are in need of not just the tool, but the reasoning behind using the tool. You can't give a person a multimeter & expect that person to find where the short is in the house without explaining how to properly trace a signal.

[@MiklPis]

Thanks you so much for this video! 😍 Running a server & being a huuuuge Hermitcraft fan (I watch Hermitcraft everyday, old and new!), I've dreamt about a video like this - and getting a whole series, that's just straight up amazing! 😍❤️

Thank you so much X! I manage a bunch of small casual servers for me and my friends. Its really interesting and educational to see how someone does as such on a larger scale and, seeing the similarities such as trimming down the unused chunks. :]

Thank you, X. While I will never host my own server, it is really interesting to see how you all do it and what is involved.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Thanks X! Looking forward to the next 2 parts. This is fascinating. Could you explain what happened with Doc’s chunks in the overworld and the nether? He obviously spent hours in both locations making his super powerful laser. How did that get lost?

Thanks for the insights on hosting a server! That was very interesting! Especially the differences between mods and datapacks used. Like the cusstom models and audio is just a datapack, and not a complete mod, even if it feels modded.

Some questions/curiosities I still have: - What's the process of adding new CustomModelData like? E.g. something like a hermit messages you with the resource, you add them all every Sunday? Is there any worry about a hermit adding something which is too unminecrafty? Do you have like an established standard of what is and isn't allowed? - Have you ever made a mistake with world pruning, accidently deleting a chunk with stuff in it?

[@craigcampbell195]

I remember a few years ago I asked you on twitch if you ever had any plans to make a small series that talks about your "role" as an admin and the sort of things that you do behind the scenes, for better insight as to what you do, and for those that may want to do this themselves. The answer you gave at the time was no, you didn't see yourself making a video like that, and weren't really wanting to explore making that into a video or series. But I'm glad you've made this video now, it's given me a lot to go off. I'd love if you made more videos like this that talk about this part of the process as it would help folks wanting to run and admin their own servers the same way you do with less friction, learning from someone like you with experience. :D Great video X, would love to see more like this!
