When youtubers try to always make their episode more than the previous one, it can become overwhelming both for the creator and the audience. Honestly this episode felt like a breath of fresh air. Not everything has to be so polished, ya know?

Just what I was thinking

[@herpderp9959]

I really like these style of videos. Not every video has to be super over the top production with massive builds in it. I know its not for everyone, especially with how youtube is today. But I think throwing an episode like this in the mix every now and then would be great.

I was kind of listening in the background, thinking back to what I remembered from this Christmas treasure hunt being set up (as seen at another *Hermit's* video - not Pixlriffs ;) ) and suddenly "HEY THERE'S A DRAGON!" and I burst into uncontrollable giggles. Always fun to see hermits surprised at whatever happened this week on Hermitcraft, especially when doc's involved XD

[@royalFiddle]

Is Bdubs secret Hermit Xisuma? I feel like it could be, what with the allay totems and all

Bdubs pulled out his bob ross hat for this episode! Love these slow, art feeling guide videos he makes. They are so so so helpful when it comes to adding another layer to a minecraft build. He treats each part of it like a piece of art!

Man, I didn’t realize how much I missed TFC until I heard that phone ringing in the background and motion sickness problems etc appearing in Bdubs’s video.

[@TheWaldleufer]

Agreed!

[@Yoshhhhh]

I honestly really like the slower HC video. Especially with the holidays and everything that's been going on with the empires crossover and the King Ren stuff, it's nice to take a bit of a break and focus on some smaller/slower things. I enjoy hearing your explanations and what's going through your mind while following your building process, it's very informative and it's cool seeing how small details like controlling tall grass and flower placement or using small differences in natural terrain can make such a big difference. Mega builds and shenanigans with friends is always entertaining and fun, however I do enjoy taking a step back to chill out and focus on/appreciate smaller aspects of a build or creation. I think it'd be cool to see a video like this every now and again, and potentially seeing a few extra moments like this in normal videos as well.

[@miketousley152]

BDubs, glad you are feeling better, and hoping for a quick recovery! Have always enjoyed your perspectives and explanation which have helped in my developing a building style. FYI - your face on the wall has a bit of a "Persistence of Memory" feel to it, which makes sense since you love clocks and that is Salvador Dali's key item in the painting. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@umbrify]

Honestly I really loved this episode. The chill pace and being able to listen to your process as you work is really interesting, and inspiring for my own builds as well

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

Something you could add if you keep going with the custom biome is a place where the stone for the structure came from. A quarry from which the everything had been built.

[@christopherkelly7594]

I loved the process of going through building the biome today! The narration is super helpful and always appreciated and entertaining. The biome looks great!

[@violetly_]

More episodes like this thrown in from time to time would be appreciated, slower paced and relaxed vibes focused more on the journey than the destination. Old school!

[@DeFlanko]

You made me think about how some video games contrasts a color like a diorite stone with red foliage a lot. Might not hurt to add foliage on the stone for that overgrowth look too. Maybe some moss carpet to keep with the theme of "this used to be a thing and place". Over all a very nice tutorial on the thought process -- thank you!

[@bongo6891]

Hey Bdubs. You know on the right where the birch stumps are? I thought it might be interesting to try building like a bundle of birch logs wrapped with seaweed blocks or something to look like they were logged down - adding to the lore. Thanks

[@Gye5451]

Bdubs has mastered the art of being incredibly wholesome and fun, whilst still getting on with the video and even giving the viewers building tips, all while being ill! Bdubs may have been gone for a while, but he comes back with an over 30 minute video that is absolutely amazing. Content creation at its finest.

I'm catching up on all the episodes but I have played a lot of minecraft lately, and I was looking for more out doors detailing advice, and those nether plants look awesome. and the same with the diorite and mossy cobble. It's also a great way to set up very scenic pathways or some back ground color instead of just empty space. Tend to your lawn! The Moss man and Sun god demands it!

it's always so nice to see more terrain and biome-focused builds! it's one of my absolute favorite things in Minecraft - both to build, and to watch/look at, and because they make the world feel so much more alive, especially if you build things like this around your base. it's really fun to see the similarities in design and thought process between this and my own stuff, but you do everything so much more confidently, while i - as a hopeless perfectionist - spend way too long on each individual block.. lol hope you get well soon Bdubs, we'll be looking forward to your next amazing creations!

[@bongo6891]

Love the change of pace this episode. Slow, longer episodes are always relaxing; like the single player series.

[@PrototypePlatform]

so interesting fact of the grass on hills thing, grass dont grow on steep hills because water rises through soil, if theres an incline, the grass on the top of the incline will be brighter than the bottom. good references are: -railroad banks where they raise the ground for the tracks -bunkers that arent very low under ground (the grass on top dies because theres no soil lifting the water to the surface) -and medieval trenches.

[@dragone7897]

I thought it was nice with a slower and more calm video, I think I personally like a bit of verity and I can imagine it is a lot more fun and inspiring then doing the same kinda thing over and over.

[@malliredeemed1772]

Watching you, the Bob Ross of Minecraft, slow things down and just share the process is one of my favorite things. Today’s video was only made better by my baby boy being home for Christmas to watch with me. BabyBoyRedeemed and I loved the biome creating, but agreed that interspersing the blue & crimson bits together (a few blue mixed with primary crimson patch…and a few crimson mixed with primarily blue) might make those bits feel more cohesive. What you did with the diorite, lichen & mossy cobble was so stinking good. I love that you always have a reason for how things are as they are. I need to grow in this. Glad you’re feeling better DBubs. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@dannyc7839]

I'd like to see all the Hermits in general show the thought process more than just jumping to the finished product all the time. Not too much, but a good balance of both.

[@pehiii236]

I really admire how bdubs very intentionally takes the time to savor this game still after so long. I've been trying to implement that concept of savoring more into my life. Thinking of things as art projects rather than something to beat makes it feel so much more fulfilling. I'm starting to think of Minecraft more as an art medium than a game. Really there's some concept artist level work coming out of the hermits, but just in a medium no one is used to.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

I love the 2010 feeling episodes and this episode is no different. The biome is pretty understated and I do like it a lot. I’m not sure about the red nether plants though. I’d prefer Alliums myself for the pop of colour but that’s just my inner Stressmonster talking. :) I laughed so hard throughout your adspot. The background cheers were just ~chef’s kiss~ And tbh I spotted the makeup well before you revealed it. You looked awful but it was too perfect. Great job on your blending!

My favorite hermits are all the ones that are calm and explain things. You included. I don't need fast-pacing quick talking lot's of noise making BS. The hermits that talk fast and never shut up (there aren't many of those), are the ones that get the axe when I have not enough time to keep up with videos.

[@KikijeanN]

I think that Bdubs explaining his creative process make the best episodes. This one definitely gave Bob Ross vibes, I loved it!

[@Gandalfa82]

Don’t worry about making each video better then the last. Instead set yourself with a goal for the video. Tutorial, Co-lab, “Lore”, “Top 1”. Tutorial can be Redstone, Terrain, Close-up Textures (walls, Stairs, Slabs, etc..), Far away Textures (using blocks to add shading and stuff). Co-Lab - just fun interaction with others, we all love to see you all having fun with each other bringing the multiplayer aspect into the game. Lore - the whole Ren The King set Top 1 - This one is a hard one, put all the effort to make it better then the last Top 1, need a little bit of everything, keeping it all small (time lapses for the building side explaining your techniques that link back to another video), co-labs (if only this funny thing or two that happened between you and others off-camera). Mixing things up like this will make all videos the best for someone, and ultimately everyone.

[@troys8709]

To be honest, I miss this style of video. It is much more satisfying, and I feel like its more manageable for the youtuber. Watching the video, there's anticipation to see what it will look like, and having you explain every step is the content. Newer videos the content is all progress about the progress and if you don't do a mega build you won't have enough content to fill an episode. You made a 75x75 area feel like a huge build without being boring and that says a bunch. Great episode, would love to see this be standard format (maybe for Building w/ Bdubs instead of Hermitcraft though)

[@whimsycole246]

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Those little warped grasses are perfect... they remind me of clumps of crab grass, they might be tinted a bit more towards blue grass but they are chunky and thicker to normal grass much like crab grass. Excellent idea... I have been looking for more decorative ideas for landscapes... Scars Scarland main street flower scape with coral is genius too... variation is one thing that's highly needed, like flowers that have 2 or 3 variations when placed would add oh so much to the game. Small details can have major impacts.

[@TimeOffChannel]

Honestly, Bdubs, I think these are the most relatable episodes to watch. Despite not getting as much done on projects, these kinds of videos probably showcase you playing the game how most of your audience plays. I don't know if that makes sense but I think too that a lot of small KZbinrs struggle by comparing themselves or others to large scale Minecraft channels and not be able to put out the same kind of content. Perhaps seeing videos like these can encourage others in general to play and make with more confidence
