i will never get tired of watching gem doing sky block

[@thecheesymouse3369]

@Bhavya Me to lol😂

[@laurabaumgartner3085]

I love watching either you or Mythical Sausage play Skyblock. The two of you are energetic and entertaining, plus I love your builds. So please keep making Skyblock episodes, they make me smile. ☺

[@sweet_blush8893]

Same 😍😍 it’s just so relaxing

You’re a Scorpio too

[@DrTrog]

I love seeing people play my map! I hope you have a fun time with it Gem. Also, that's some serious progress you made in just episode 1!!

[@realizethesneeze632]

The doctor himself!

[@DrTrog]

@@realizethesneeze632 You know it! Been watching Gem for a while now. I love all her Skyblock series. I'm not biased or anything...

[@dovelyy]

i saw this comment before when it said "the map" i wasnt sure if that meant it was just a well known map or you made it yourself. guess i got the answer :)) great job!

[@username34159265]

Loved playing your map last year! What are your thoughts onthe updated Skyblock Evolution 2.0 map?

[@DrTrog]

@@username34159265I haven't played or seen it. I talked to the person making it and helped with a few datapack things though.

[@lindalane5056]

The phantom eyes through the bunker ceiling is one of the most terrifying things I've seen.

[@lightning_11]

That glitch fits really well with the whole lore of phantoms being your own hallucinations, and it is mildly terrifying.

[@ginalonso1]

Yeah

[@EverythingFairy10]

I know😂😂😂😂

[@nickywarren4435]

👍

[@GreatTazGaming]

Gem... just a minor note. Glow berries only grow when a new piece of vine appears unless you use bonemeal on an empty vine, so if you want more then you need to break the vines after picking. 😉

[@alyray6271]

Jem oof dude its Gem lol

[@NM-xj6om]

Wait u do?

[@Missmori]

@@NM-xj6om yeah. it took me forever to realize this, and my roommate laughing at me....

[@NM-xj6om]

@@Missmori lol

[@smokeyangelav]

Hmm, I don’t remember that to be true but they could have changed something with the addition of clipped vines to keep them from growing.

[@exotic.8373]

I love skyblock! SO happy you decided to do this again!!

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

ME TOO!

[@Harry-425]

RETURN OF SKYBLOCK LETS GO! The original skyblock series was how I first got into your content so I’m super excited for this :D

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

LETS GOOOOOO!

[@cabbage2241]

Same!

[@eljameso]

Same here. It opened up the hermitcaft world for me also. Thank you GeminiTay

[@mf1656]

Same!

[@8halo8ful]

Same :)

[@katefooks]

gem + skyblock = happiness for everyone

[@Caelfyre]

18:20 Gem continuing to decorate whilst under attack is hilarious

[@IntroAbdullah]

Gem literally brightens our day with uploads and especially with Skyblock series. Became a fan since saw your 100 days in skyblock video. Lots of love Gem!! And Winnie is so cute!!! ❤

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

Yes she does!

[@theboredone]

Same

[@Green_Ghost333]

WINNIE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lonelybiscuit4886]

Gem is so great to watch when relaxing and winding down before bed. Her voice is so nice and wholesome!

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

She totally is!

[@vonnemaddox9868]

21:38 can we talk about how freaking cute her room is and the succulent pillow! I love it excellent taste. I always look forward to your skyblock series because you do such an excellent job of taking the same concept of skyblock and making each series unique and interesting.

[@thestriker135]

Gem is the type of person who can summon a smile on anyone’s face.

[@SimonSyvilski]

Agreed

[@kable6693]

Not mine. Was just recommended this video and I can't stand her childish way of talking. Plus her commentary is literally "I'm going to make a pickaxe. I made a pickaxe. I'm so excited." No thanks.

[@PritikaB]

Gem how do you do this??? 3 series at the same time… many people can’t manage one and you’re doing 3! You’re amazing, an actual dedicated and hardworking KZbinr!

[@LesbianPanicIsMe]

2, technically.

[@TheBrasingtons]

Hermitcraft, Empires, Skyblock. I see the logic

[@LesbianPanicIsMe]

@@TheBrasingtons Isn't she technically playing HC and Empires simultaneously? So it's technically only playing 2 series?

[@mr_gablu4541]

yep HC and empires are 1 so only 2 series

[@Taurielfae7769]

Gem standing next to the lava during her talking was TERRIFYING me 🤣

[@MiloThatch420]

Absolutely hands down, my favorite minecraft content creator 💕 you’re vibe and energy is so good

[@Darkvenomsoul]

i gotta agree love her bubbly personality

[@mayabananna6607]

Gems energy alone is enough to make someone smile

[@bccooper2418]

A good way to farm phantoms is to use the trees as a defense to hide under the branches and then swing at them as they come down at you. If you have enough trees together, they sometimes get stuck in the branches/leaves making it easier to swing at them.

[@jack_of_no_trades]

since she has enough wood even for decoration a boat is better, guarantees stuck instead of sometimes

[@muriella8008]

I love Gem's skyblock series! I still rewatch the old ones sometimes. I was just missing her doing skyblock very recently, so this is perfect timing! I also like hearing Gem chat with us a little more as she does on solo plays compared to smps

[@opalescent9625]

literally gasped out loud when i saw this on my recommended. i missed your old skyblock series and i’m so happy you’re doing more!!!

[@thenopequeen]

Gotta love that... nightlight? I was not expecting the phantom face phasing through the ceiling either.

[@haddow777]

A great thing I learned was to put a slab over the berry bushes. It keeps you from being hurt by the bush. It also works for lava, fire, and water, which is great if you get bees. I don't know if they fixed them being around water, but I've lost a few to water.

[@thirdeyetwenty]

Your hardcore One Block series was the first one that got me into really following your channel; I'm excited to see how this series goes!

[@tinycrabcreates]

Gem is the best! I love how she can be so relaxing and also incorporate humor into her videos as well!

[@jaunesmith0947]

I love the cosy vibes of this series already! With so much lore and craziness going on right now, it's nice to watch you just chill and do something you really enjoy!

[@taylorrowan4320]

This is an amazing episode one Gem!!! I am so SO happy to hear your voice in a cozy series again. Sending warm hugs to you up in Canada!!! I love your skyblock work and I’m so excited to see where this goes!!!

[@naomic3735]

Hey Gem! Just wanted to say that I love all of your skyblock series and the first one of your videos that I watched was your skyblock 100 days video. A while ago I started a minecraft skyblock world (which I haven't done much on) on this same map but I've been very busy up until a few days ago so I haven't been playing on it. This new series has encouraged me to get back onto that world and start playing it again. Some of the things you have done on this world have also given me inspiration; I love the idea of a little bunker and will definitely be playing along with you and making one in my world!

[@shayanmafi5827]

I love how she keeps standing on the chest right next to the lava.she really is the biggest threat to her survival right now 😂

[@XioThatMe]

Gem, where I live it's Spring "The Season of Growth". I've only got 12 more days until it hits Summer "The Season of Warmth." So basically this is a seasonally series. Which I love! Love your content, and the way that you make the videos so exciting to be able to watch without getting bored. Before I started watching your video I was so bored. But now I have something to do, which is amazing! Keep up the wonderful work. Love your dog.

[@ThatChameleon]

I LOVE seeing your channel grow, ive been watching for 2 years now (since your 1.16 lets play) and i just wanted to say keep the incredible work and have a great day :)

[@Marialla.]

Yes! Remember the world named "Subscribe to GeminiTay" was such a good seed! I played my own game on that seed too and it was really fun.

[@skyefin1427]

Even though gem is from Canada, she would defiantly suit British life, I can just imagine her having her cosy time with a cuppa tea sitting by a fire. I don't know if that happens in Canada but it defiantly happens here. Also, love that skyblock is back, one of my favourite sersious

[@We1rdc0reStvff]

I absolutely LOVE watching you play skyblock, I've watched some of ur skyblock series several times just to watch you play it

[@brutalbradferd]

When that phantom was peeking through the ceiling your reaction made me chuckle quite a bit

[@lunozzy]

Oh my God, when that Phantom’s eyes were glitching through the cobblestone, seeing your reaction made me laugh xD ♥️

[@lucianisapa7106]

gem is one of the few people I can always count on when I feel down

[@KLee_Plays]

I'm glad someone else loves skyblock as much as I do! So excited for the series!

[@crow_in_space]

20:22 Gem: *looks down to build* Also gem: *looks up again and doesn’t even notice that a giant tree has grown*

[@jasonpatterson8091]

Right at the beginning - it's odd, I get in the mood to Skyblock about once a year as well. I don't know what it is. I love Dr. Trog's version of the map/game!!! He does a great job keeping the changes to loot tables to a minimum and giving the player limited materials but also enough to make virtually everything in the game (without having to rely entirely on traders to get items).

[@Cactus_1819]

I am so glad that the Skyblock series has been yet again revived! These videos are so much fun to watch! ❤️✨️

[@magentaspoon5319]

Oh yes, I made a similar room downstairs to get rid of the phantoms, except I put the cobblestone generator downstairs so I'll have something to do at night. You can even use the same water block for a cobblestone generator downstairs and a farm upstairs, until you get a second water block! I love your other skyblock videos, so this will hopefully be lots of fun, too!

[@lovesherdoggo]

20:22 I love how she looks at the island, then looks away then casually a giant spruce tree just grows.... I love watching her play sky block and I am so excited to see how this goes!!

[@Marialla.]

I'm excited that there are geodes in skyblock now! I hope to see some really pretty builds using those. GeminiTay has the most creative, beautiful, colorful builds!

[@astral_aon]

Glad to see the skyblock series is back

[@deawinter]

I’ve rewatched your other skyblock series an EMBARRASSING number of times so this is absolutely thrilling

[@hoshiechan3852]

let's be honest Gem has such a calm and lovely voice and it's soothing in the ears 😇

[@Mac_likes_soup]

Skyblock is so relaxing and I agree it’s definitely a nice chill holiday series. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up on multiplayer series when life is busy. Also I love whinny so much. Her Instagram pics are adorable

[@justrecentlyi5444]

Fun to see you enjoying this so much! I'd definitely watch more of it! Quick idea for the prickly berry bush problem: you can place trap doors on top to prevent yourself from walking into them without preventing their growth or their harvesting.

[@cardamoon28]

i love the kind of series that makes me feel dizzy and make my legs shake like crazy, love your videos, gem!

[@mimixlavender]

I love how relaxing this feels, the plot ones are fun to but this was so nice to come home and just chill watching it

[@tweekernessism]

"I normally die quite a lot in skyblock" -has a 9 video, wonderful and relaxing series of hardcore oneblock-skyblock where she gets through all stages and beats the EnderDragon without dying and makes a wonderful base with named animals, basically an entire zoo, and an aquarium. Haaaa... My gosh never stop making these. Pure serotonin, dopamine and wholesome adventure.

[@Umai_NoodlesRgood]

I'm so excited to see how this island turns into a kingdom also Winnie is getting so big and cute.

[@marsinorbit27]

I started watching your content around this time last year and I remember having such a great time watching your last skyblock series! Very excited for this one wooo :)

[@BlahCraft1]

7:38 In modern Skyblock, and Minecraft in general, Wandering traders are your best bet for the source of many more unique items.

[@LadyAxGamingOfficial]

That phantom peeking through the ceiling at 21:52 is definitely nightmare fuel lol.

[@mikebaker2436]

I am torn between two favorites: GeminiSlay and GemiSKYtay. 🤩 Finally, the channel has both again. 🤣😅

[@throneborn]

Gem has the most soothing voice I have ever heard.

[@saltysalat8823]

I love your skyblock series

[@KeiraHaloucast]

Your skyblock videos are absolutely my favorite. It’s the first content I ever found off yours off the smps you’re in. I’m always so sad when they’re done. I’m so excited to see a current one!!

[@whoopzie5042]

Yay keep up the great work Gem! We all love you!! And Winnie!

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

Yeah keep up the great work!

[@Halfmoongirl]

I'm super excited for more Skyblock content, it's a favourite of mine! Love you Gem!💙💙💙

[@martinneween]

Ever since subscribing to Gem, I’ve loved her skyblock series and I can’t wait for this series to take off!!

[@8halo8ful]

love this series!!! your old skyblock series is the reason i got minecraft again (havent played it since xbox360 days, man its a 1000% better now, thank you)

[@kezi7728]

If I had a dollar for every time I thought “Why didn’t Gem bonemealing that?” And immediately remembering that she doesn’t have bonemeal I would be a millionaire

[@beetyroot]

Love the skyblock content!

[@zoesrockinrandom7249]

Same!

[@xisco5525]

I started playing One-Block Skyblock a few days ago because I wanted to get into Minecraft again but didn't feel like playing regular survival. I got to know about the mode because of your series, so I'm actually very excited that you started this to have a sorta playalong ^^

[@haydenynpovs6234]

I am doing diamond painting while watching this! Very fun! :) So excited for this series

[@TheJoyCoaster]

Watching you play sky block is so cozy and relaxing!! Can't wait to see the finished island :)

[@Booklover.]

I saw this notification and I dropped everything to watch. I love your videos Gem keep up the great work!! Edit: Winnie is such a cute puppy!

[@sophiaaifos871]

Sky block with Gem!!!! My favorite kind of block!:D you’re the one who got me into skyblock in the first place and I love it so much, I will definitely be joining in on winter cosy skyblock time❤

[@JohnNoirSmith]

I love your Skyblock series (and missed the Hardcore Skyblock One Block series so much!), so I'm always thrilled whenever you do one of these! 😁

[@SoundFX626]

this did it. this got me wanting to play minecraft again

[@rebeccalang1867]

Finally more skyblock!!! I love your cozy and relaxing series. Thank you Gem that made my day!

[@francine8687]

I definitely love these laid back series along with others like Empires

[@faeriehearthwitch6185]

I love watching Skyblock series! So glad you are making another one! This is my favourite kind of MC series, actually!!!

[@Thedominoscraft]

Thanks to my depression and severe loneliness, it's not easy for me on dark fall evenings. But your videos, at least for a while, distract me from my bad mood. And I love even more the Skyblock series, which I find very fun and peaceful. I recently started watching you, even though I haven't played Minecraft for many years, which prompted me to create a new world. Sometimes I play a bit to calm myself down. Thank you for the excellent work you do :)

[@rose_x_riot5336]

I’m happy you’re doing another skyblock series. Skyblock is my favorite version to play. Vanilla gets so tedious after awhile

[@pehiii236]

Love the Skyblock!! You're always so resourceful and I love how you lay out your bases

[@wiktoriaszczesny194]

I'm so happy I came across this video. I love your whole vibe and how you explain everything. ❤

[@abigailmorris1285]

furthermore it would not make a lot 😅

[@ronii0209]

I love your Skyblock series! Your so creative and it's nice to see what you can create with a limited block pallet. It is also very cozy to watch!

[@christophermorin9036]

You are always SO HAPPY when you do these Gem lol! Thank you, you've inspired me to give it a shot! I hope there's a Birch Island, or I might just have to delete the world lol.

[@karmacreations3479]

Loving this series so far!!! I got into your content from your one block skyblock series so I'm glad to see you doing more like this :DDD

[@LisaFT769]

I'm obsessed with watching skyblock. I really loved your other skyblock vids so I was super excited to see you was doing another one!

[@Oiyuki]

You know it’s gonna be a good time when you see a Gemini Tay skyblock series starting up

[@sammin101]

Cool to see you're starting a new skyblock world! I recently started playing a skyblock map on bedrock. Really cool to see you cosy your island up so quick, I just have a wild tangle of dangerous bridges. Looking forward to seeing more of this series, hopefully you'll inspire me to make my islands pretty and build that mobfarm!

[@ponyowitch]

There's nothing better than seeing a new skyblock video on your recommended, especially if it's from gem

[@aryanjain8872]

I just love these kinds of series. So calming and fun.

[@FebruaryGhost]

LOVE this idea of a cosy skyblock world for the winter months. I'll definitely be playing along with you!

[@retropockystick]

super excited for this series

[@MJinPitt]

Woohoo! Excited for this. Hope you’re enjoying a chill series.

[@dalunatic6939]

The new stuff from the updates AND hardcore sounds so exciting!! I love it already :)

[@lanaharris6338]

I am in love with all Gem’s skyblock series. Great job as always, Gem! You really know how to make us smile 😊

[@samuelsalazar4935]

I missed a new Gem Skyblock series! Definetly one of the most peaceful kind of gameplay, love it so much! :D

[@acraig636]

I love these little skyblock series, glad you're doing another for winter

[@sandyandrewsu]

Listening is definitely cozy and chill. Perfect for the holidays 😌

[@quinnsd13]

First time I found your channel was a skyblock run, fun to see another! I love the other RP series, but these are my favorites.

[@m_s_i4813]

I feel proud to be a part of the audience of this whole series from day 1 and will miss this series 😢 Respect to Gemini for making this 🫡

[@edanaulf1345]

Yay! So excited for this series. Granted I love all your series, so I'm excited for a new one!

[@michi4242564]

I definitely love to see how you decorate your cozy home!

[@YoutubePez]

And this is my favorite way to WATCH minecraft! I love this series, i was obsessed with watching your one block sky block

[@rachelruff8029]

I was so excited to see more skyblock! It’s some of my favorite content, and it’s so nice and chill.

[@user-wq9dp6gl1m]

omg i just love these sky block series!! being a little bit late im still SUPER excited to finish the series!!

[@79awinkler]

Serious, another skyblock hardcore? Freaking sweet. I loved the last one. 😊
