Bdubs is to my knowledge the only hermit to change his mailbox to that extent by removing it’s original blocks.

[@sweetcorm]

Did you mean *reducing uptime?*

[@FaeChangeling]

Honestly if anyone can figure out the dripleaf, it's probably Doc and his hivemind. The guy broke the ender dragon's AI to bring it into the overworld, used update suppression to teleport items between a chest and his inventory, shot an arrow through like 5000 blocks, and this season he's teleporting boats. He'll probably come up with some way to suppress updates on dripleaves or something.

[@Luukskywalker]

I hoped he would ask Doc, so the dripleave wouldn't update or something.

Since I live in a log cabin, I've always lamented the lack of good "log-looking" logs in Minecraft. I'm gonna give the signs-on-logs a try. Our home doesn't use daubing, as the logs are flattened on the top and bottom with tongue-and-groove shaping to add stability. So, I'm going to go with a lighter sign on darker logs, so that the logs become the shadow. That might just work! Thanks, BDubs!

[@WasatchWind]

If you want to try your hand at some better log building, you might check out vintage story. Making the logs round and adding chinking might take some time, but you can get incredible results.

[@yaboyroy1963]

having a fully decorated but non functioning mail box is the most bdubs thing ever

[@Zaxl626]

The forest might be the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in this game. There are giant buildings that people have put much time and effort in to and they surely are impressive. But this feels like actual art, it has heart and soul, it feels alive.

Bdubs I just wanna say how next-level great all your episodes have been this season. I know people tend to celebrate longer episodes just for being longer and giving us "more content" but you've really made incredible use of the longer format. You clearly put a lot of care into the pacing and editing, as you have for years now, rather than just freewheeling and letting things run long just because. I'm always blown away by what you come up with.

[@sararose3541]

If you’re still wondering about the grout in the cabin. It’s typically sawdust collected from sawing the logs that’s then turned to a paste of sorts and used as an insulator for the cracks between logs

[@fr_z_n3727]

You invented a triple pulse clock. The observer reliably pulses three times then has a short pause. Bdubs not only revolutionizing building and redstone but leafstone also, truly a legend.

You should put down some dark green and brown carpeting on the trunk of the big deciduous tree you make, so that it looks like it has bare earth and dropped leaves mounding up a little beneath it. I'd also recommend a Haybale under the mail room fire, so the smoke plume goes higher.

For the drip leaf challenge maybe present it to Doc, i could see him and his community coming up with something via lag, basically doing something similar to making frame-less portals that he has done in the past. If you goal is to break the game, seek none other then the goat himself.

[@bbgun061]

Yeah, or like a headless piston. I don't know how to do it, it's all magic to me...

[@ConcreteAtrocity]

I was thinking lag switch and frameless portals as well.

[@jordanspriggs5646]

ive talked to the community interested in that sort of stuff and it doesnt work with plants in the game unfortunately. Maybe a new way will be found but current methods dont work

[@Subatomicfish]

I can confirm that there is a way to do it... in 24w14potato. It's very easy in that one, all you have to do is move the dripleaf with a floatater while it's in the down state. The only thing that seems to update it are receiving a redstone signal (or adding another dripleaf on top manually, of course, but that changes the block so duh). You could pretty easily build a whole roof with them, get them in a downstate with armor stands, then shift the whole thing into place with a single floatater, and there you have it.

[@Subatomicfish]

Also I figured out you can make floating versions of it by starting with it planted on farmland so the bounding box doesn’t connect to the block it’s placed on. Then you can float it into place. Either tilted down or not both look really good as overhangs or awnings imo

[@junoantaresgaming]

Dripleaf options: 1. Update suppression, you overload the amount of updates the game can calculate, making the leaf stuck in the state you desire, with timing should even be able to get the intermediate state for a 22,5 deg tilt, talk to Doc, he knows alot about this. Option two, vanilla tweaks mod, the modding community loves you as do we all, if they havent made it already by the time i place this comment im sure it wont be long, maybe give them a quick ask on twitter. Should just be a matter of setting a nbt tag like how you can do with the invisible item frames today. Also, thanks for the awesome entertainment today, hugs

[@ChaoticLifemaker]

Option 3: armour stands?

[@GSBarlev]

I'm wondering whether no-gravity armor stands still trigger the dripleaf. Because if they do, you just set each on a path block and translate it in the X and Z. But yeah, to make a lockable dripleaf via mod would be a really simple mixin.

[@radiojack8321]

I don't have time to watch all the hermits' episodes, so each season I pick one main hermit to follow and watch the other's adventures intermittently. BDubs is my main this season and he's absolutely blowing my mind.

[@Fort_Gonz0x]

To my knowledge the only way without dropping an item to keep the plant thing down is a debug stick. IDEA: Have like a dropper system up in the sky the dispenses an item every few correct ticks so an item is always weighing the leaf down. Have it high above so it's out of render distance. The items are dropped with a synchronized clock so by the time the plant is up, and item has already been dropped on it. Hope this might be helpful!

As a fellow sign enjoyer I recommend the "Block Entity Extended Rendering" Aka Beer Mod to resolve the signs despawning at a distance.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this: The grouting in-between the logs in the cabin by your house is packed mud. There's loads of names for it (daub, cob, etc.) but it's just clay. The logs don't sit flush (as is the case with most old log cabins in America) and so the gap is plugged with clay.

[@eldarloen9189]

[@SILSKY]

Coming from someone whose day job is working as a mailman, your mail room is a great representation of an actual small village post office. The bookshelves work great as mail cases where mail is sorted daily before its delivered. I know there's limited space but a minecart would look good in a corner somewhere to represent the mail carts we use to transport mail and parcels through the office. Maybe even a minecart with a chest to simulate a large parcel in a mail cart. Add some old hanging ceiling fans and a few signs/paintings to represent billboards and it would look even better. Your builds are inspiring to me. You have taught me a lot. Thank you!

[@OpenBagTwo]

So I didn't realize that when the redstoners were powering the dripleaf ( _e.g._ Cub at 30:10 ), they were testing an *actual Minecraft mechanic* that powered dripstone stays horizontal. But once I saw that in the code, it was _super easy_ to write a mod to *lock the dripleaf state, **_regardless_** of tilt* when powered. Anyway, if you can convince X to add it, the mod is called *Leafstone.* Hmu if you have any questions.

[@jaketmko]

one thing to remember with the terracotta making is that drying the mud takes 20 minutes (excluding the stray blocks that don’t dry) for 2 stacks, but it also takes 20 minutes for 10 stacks if you make more drying spots. mining terracotta will take more time with more blocks,, so if you’re doing more than probably 20 stacks or want to make terracotta passively it might be worth to make a big drying rack 👍

[@DirtBlock223]

Here's an idea for the dripleaf: attach baby slimes to leads positioned above the dripleaf that bounce down onto the drip leaves. Connect the fences to branches on an overlurking tree or overhang and the slimes can jump back and forth across them.

[@qocket]

I suppose if you got a texture pack to remove the trails from normal rockets, not the explody ones, then set up a cloud in the sky that rained down rockets onto a roof of dripleaf, then you'd get the angle 95% of the time.

[@DreadKyller]

I mean regarding the terracotta: Drying the mud is scalable, the more mud you place to dry the more clay you get in the same amount of time Harvesting the terracotta isn't scalable, you can only go as fast as you can mine it (I mean you can scale it with more people mining but outside that). Drying the mud requires passive time, time spent doing other things Harvesting the terracotta requires active time. Passive time can be counted as effectively no time, as it doesn't remove time from other tasks. Imagine you place the mud and start building, the time it takes for the mud to become clay can be ignored, it's the same time cost as if you started building, then stopped and instantly converted the mud to terracotta. The only active time spent is in the harvesting of dirt, turning dirt into mud, placing the mud, and harvesting the clay to put in the furnaces. That's the amount of time that's actually important to compare. Also considering you'd be destroying a mesa biome, you likely wouldn't want to harvest from the closest mesa, increasing the time to gather it directly by a slight amount.

[@bbgun061]

Yeah. How many blocks can be placed in 30 minutes? That's the maximum amount he can get by that method. So that by time he finishes placing blocks, he can start collecting the clay. Of course he could automate making mud, drying it into clay, blast chamber to collect it, and feed it into an autosmelter.

[@bdoubleo]

oh right! i have more math to do

@@bbgun061 you have no guarantee that all blocks will convert within any specified time. It’s a probability thing. Within x amount of time you’ll see y amount converted, the higher x is the higher y is.

The white "grout" in between the logs is called "Chinking". It is a form of filler/adhesive/sealant for log cabins.

[@calliebates3066]

I like the idea of Bdubs adding in one or two trees every so often, gradually expanding the grove over the course of the season

[@tatekane]

You named Pearl's wolf in Secret Life "Mailbox" now she's the mail lady and the one who forces ppl for mailbox locations. You predicted it or twas planned all along heh. The revamped tree looks amazing and you're right, the shade it casts looks immersive. I had to google log cabin with grout and learned it's called Mortar Chinking learned something new, Tell Etho it exists, and is called that lol

You can make a machine that makes Terracota fully automatic, although it's quite big, the process goes: Bone Meal a Moss Block to get an Azalea, grow it with more Bone Meal, the Moss turn into Rooted Dirt, water bottle the Rooted Dirt, move the Mud to the dry plataform, Observer it so when it dries move it to blast chamber, the blast chamber destroy it and send it to Furnance Array, and it turns into Terracota. ~This machine is amazing, and it's probably very complicated to build.

[@harrycooke4699]

For the terracotta farming: it'd reduce a lot of the labour if you combine the mud making and drying into one step: place dirt blocks and convert them with dispenser, then push them over dripstone with a row of pistons. Can fill a 12x12 area of mud quite easily using bdubs perfect redstone, or even larger if you use some trickery to push items beyond the 12 block push limit

[@blue3532]

LOVE the picnic table! makes the forest feel like a place to hang out, slow down, and enjoy rather than just pass through

To the branch sticking out under the new tree, add a tamed bird (similar to Gem's power line birds). Potentially a stump, fallen evergreen.

In any case, the constant dripleaf trigger you've found can totally add some kind of animation and/or atmospheric, environmental movement to a build!

Love you John. I’m a grandmother and I love your videos. I have now introduced my 5 year old daughter to the game and we have so much fun playing together. She always looks at me with her wide blue eyes and says “let’s go in the darkness!” meaning a fresh cave. She’s a riot.

[@mincloudmincloud]

I love to see families playing Minecraft together. I’m glad it brings you and your bond with your kiddo joy.

[@DrJuiceCannon]

Dearest Bdubs.. Ive watched your videos for many years now.. Normally I don’t comment on KZbin videos. But this takes it to new heights. The last year you really evolved and progressed a lot! Everything keeps getting better and better. Your thumbnails is a work of art, the background music, the slight fade when you’re cutting to a new scene. Every episode is worth the wait. I don’t play Minecraft myself, but when I get a notification that you uploaded a new video and I get off from work, completely finish with my day, its time to relax and watch a episode with Bdubs. Really enjoying what you do, keep it up

[@Emma-wc4yr]

7:15 that's called 'chinking'! It was to seal the gaps from air and water. It's been made of different mixtures of materials over time depending on what worked best for different types of climates and availability.

[@bradybrown3176]

The fact that you used the shape of the newly leafed tree ( the one that was dead by the mail box) to create shapes when you look at your base. It is incredible. At certain parts leafs touching and connecting to the background dead tree to create a unison feel with that part of the base with little whimsical pieces that connect to the buildings but not blocking it, and more of highlighting the buildings again making it look like a well crafted picture (pun intended). It is truly amazing to watch this at work and really inspires me to build to that level and also admire the dedication that you put into this. Thank you bdubs!

[@MNovater]

14:30 Another thing to consider, the Hermitcraft server has the re-dye mod pack. So they can collect white, yellow, what ever terracotta from a mesa and redye it what ever color they need. If you’re strictly vanilla. Smelting clay into terracotta is the way to go if you want large supplies of terracotta you can dye to whatever you need.

[@CDrocKS]

except that most of the terracotta in a mesa is undyed, so it's still faster than gathering and smelting clay

[@MNovater]

@@CDrocKS I bet you, I can collect and smelt a large amount of clay blocks into terracotta faster than I can find a Mesa without cheats.

[@watermeloncake581]

That tree is phenomenal, no clue how bdubs does it. I could swear I've seen one in real life like that except it had one of those wheel swings. (Ohh that could look cool)

Bdubs you are literally building my dream home. Only difference is I like mine on a mountain.

[@hannayoung9657]

The grout on a timber cabin is to insulate the cabin, the technic was brought over by settlers from the Swedish Kingdom, which as the time included Finland. People started to prefer that building technic over the wattle and daub the English used, much quicker and warmer.

[@Van-dq4sw]

What a trick. Bdubs bringing the redstone community together and focusing all that brainpower on what will most effectively be an audio enhancement in the end. (This is slightly goofy of a comment; the fact that it actually works in a vanilla way is incredible!)

You have truly made this game an art form. I thought I was an alright builder but those trees are Humbling. Just incredible

[@Akkaren79]

Love the chimney! You could also switch out that "you got mail" disc with some nice and unique nature sound with a high range. Maybe some animal sound, or just some wood cracking, or a breeze through the woods.

[@timvanderende3746]

Bdubs, as someone with a longstanding Canadian wilderness heritage canoeing throughout rivers and lakes in the Great Wild (I live in the Netherlands now, not a lot of wilderness left there unfortunately), I would love you putting a little fishing pond with a tiny dock underneath the Great Oak. Me and my grandfather would spend summers on end sitting underneath a large willow tree in the shade, just fishing and reminiscing. Peaceful, sometimes with a fruitful bounty, sometimes just laughing and relaxing. More often than not just enjoying the wildlife on the other side of the pond drinking or hunting little critters. He would teach me which herbs to pick for food, which fish were tasty and which plants to grow to sustain life in and around the pond. And the best thing about that tree: a rope swing from a big sturdy branch into the pond. Childhood fun for years that I now show my own kids. Great vid as always.

[@AnoneemusNoename]

I am also Canadian and had similar experiences growing up but i've got to point out that reading this almost sounds like it could be a troll post of Canadian stereotypes done ironically lol. The overt politeness and outdoorsman/backwoodsman aesthetic and all that. Good stereotypes i suppose to some degree at least and i mean so far we're two for two so maybe this stereoype exists for good reason.

[@TheAlmostace]

love you to death bdubs. btw i think you should cast shadows on your plains using shulker boxes at build limit. dont worry they wont render in but it will still cast shadows

One of the only Minecraft players that can make a video titled "Revolutionizing Building" and everyone just believes it. Mainly because it happens like, twice a week.

Chinking is a synthetic sealant used to seal the joints of log homes and keep moisture out. In recent times it is made of an acrylic elastic compound that adheres to the logs yet flexes with movement over time.
