Minecraft Hermitcraft :: The Guardian Garden Challenge

I still think the verdict in the mumbo vs xb should be that doc ends up on a skyblock again.

[@tobiassalisbury245]

Mumbo's got to have his own Skyblock arc It would be the greatest

[@tuhkiscgibin6627]

I was so crushed when Doc's time in the Skyblock ended. I really wanted to see more of it.

[@wikiuser92]

I loved how Cleo managed to hit Doc in the nerve during the trial by suggesting he should be banned from building with diamond ore blocks. Cleo is so savage and I love it.

[@TyroRNG]

It would be the funniest outcome of the trail if somehow, yet again, doc was the one punished to skyblock. Especially if Joehills was the instigator.

The Nether Hub will be an enormous dome held up by a statue of BDubs, depicted as an Adonis-like Greek god with a plaque reading "World's Greatest Minecrafter". This will symbolize how, just as Atlas held up the sky alone, BDubs must hold up the entire server alone.

[@moldomre4838]

I had heard about XB's dog passing away and was sad for him, but since I don't watch XB it wasn't until this video that I really saw how much Bishop meant to him. The doghouse is a really thoughtful tribute Bdubs, I started crying when XB got choked up.

[@madhatter3994]

Bishop was xB's dream dog. He had always wanted a husky but lived where it gets super hot and didn't feel comfortable doing that to a winter type dog. He moved to a colder area and got Bishop. Unfortunately he passed at the beginning of the season. I think he was 4 or 5.

[@lnpwright]

[@Eulo-says]

For the Nether hub my first thought was of Yellowstone National Park’s sulfur pools. These naturally forming volcanic springs are brightly colored and esoteric looking, which I think complements the nether. Surrounding each of these pools are elevated platforms that actually look very similar to the scaffolding platforms that currently exist. The Sulfur pools could be made from glass (non-spawnable) and the surrounding areas could be half slabbed, shallow terrain. Hopefully this helps!

[@KrishnaKumar_Profile_Denver]

Omg this!!! I wish I could like this more than once!! Really hope he sees this!

[@des4929]

[@wikiuser92]

Jevi is like a reverse Grinch. He forces Christmas down everyone's throats as much as possible. BDubs was an unfortunate victim who struck back with a vengeance.

[@jota4370]

Regarding the nether hub, my suggestion would be like an nether themed japanese garden, with trees, "greenery", "ponds", bees, etc.. and the portals could be like sculptures scattered around.

[@C455B]

And the bees would never sleep

[@wallyandjilly375]

[@ameliamintz392]

I agree, and the scaffolding could be switched out with bridges. Same concept could apply for a nether fortress or something.

[@TheDestinyGang15]

Seeing xb get a bit emotional about the dog house just goes to show just how much thought you put into this project bdubs. Well done ol boy, well done.

[@johngleebydeeby]

with the nether hub, you have a cool permanently red sky you can utilize that no other builds really can. i'd keep it open to the sky and maybe find blocks the look good with that, go for a really bleak ruins theme maybe

[@jormun8]

Something like he and Cleo had going last season or his forgotten elf lands on his world. could be fun to fly around the broken pillars or fallen statues to get from portal to portal

[@robineaken4524]

Remember that all black crazy cool building from last season? That would look incredible to play with sillouttes and make it all evil looking

[@OhMagicalUnicornLord]

I think that's a good call. Just leaning into the limitations instead of trying to fight them. Honestly I think even just replacing the existing scaffolding with half slabs and cohesive stairs to the floor would be a nice improvement. Subtle changes can work wonders like that

[@jef_3006]

I agree with this. I'm not sure what the best way to take advanatage of having a red sky is, but I think you have to at least try to use that.

[@Shroom_M4n]

i feel like the palate of pandora's vault (the dream smp prison) would work really well with the red sky

[@MechbossBoogie]

One thing I would love to see Mojang do with bees is auto breeding the way villagers do. So, if there's space in the hive and at least two of them, there's a chance they'll breed.

[@electro_4723]

Love the fact that bdubs is slowly discovering all the camera mods to play with, it really adds to the masterful cinematography hens been doing

[@fjolliff6308]

Birch logs, diorite, a temple -like structure coming up out of the bedrock. Make a gorgeous thing out of the most hated blocks in the game, centered on whichever hermit hates it the most! The others might be more willing to volunteer next season... They could be "inspired" by some passive (aggressive) lessons in building.

[@natasha.r.m]

😂

[@nor6399]

Pearl has already volonteered to do the hub next season though

[@JettSvart]

I was thinking a "temple" sort of thing, too... maybe not so much the passive aggressive aspect. XD It would be a temple to pettiness.

[@terceleto]

Bdubs, that garden transformation in Xb's place was amazing. I am in constant awe of how you paint with blocks in this game, it's so mesmerizing and inspiring! I absolutely loved the little garden workbench area by Bishop's house... And oh how we all felt for xB when he saw the home for his special boy. Our pets really are so beloved and incredible. Thanks so much for sharing all you do with us!

[@xfirefli]

I just lost my dog this year, and seeing how touched xB was made me tear up a little thinking about my girl. That was really thoughtful of you, BDubs. I'm sure it meant a lot.

BDUBS!!! You are too humble!!! XB's garden is one of the most gorgeous builds I've seen, it's really inspired me to work on a garden of my own. Plus your new trees! You said "they're just a small thing" but they truly took the forest from an immersive build on the inside to one fully situated in your base on the outside. The way the trees taper off in size and your silos are perfectly tucked away inside of them is awe inspiring and completely immersing. Keep up the amazing work, you're truly an artist.

[@BenFromOhio]

Who wants to do the Nether hub? Bdubs, you despise the Nether so much that it is a chore for you just to get into the Nether. You want to tackle this enormous and tedious task? Bdubs: Only if Skizz can be my gopher. Skizz: Hot-diggity, I'm in!

[@SuzieM338]

Ok two more things beyond my first gush about the thumbnail beauty: 1. Learned to use coral in a planter with the slabs 🎉 2. Learned about using item frames in pots for your own designs 🎉 Looove it!

[@dq3w]

Regarding the Nether hub, the scaffolding gave me an idea of a sort of ruined fortress/temple feel with elevated bridges over a floor of nether bushes and shrubbery.

[@tigdakid]

After craziness of the life series and how bdubs is in that, this feels like a whole different person and game

[@profmercury1387]

OK, so a nether build I was always super impressed with is the spooky forest that Tango built in season 3. Maybe it was extra impactful because it was early in my minecraft life but I have always been very obsessed with the idea of bringing the overworld to the nether. Theese days there are also lots of ways of doing it spawnproof, like moss carpet, path blocks, brown carpet and ofcourse lots of new stairs and slabs. Would love to have a forest and mountains up on that nether roof.

[@losrin1047]

20:40 it all makes sense now. Bdubs has been stuck in the light level 7 mob spawning era

[@LifeSizeTeddyBear]

Maybe somebody should tell him that it changed three years ago in 1.18

[@Xeroxias]

He's talking about daylight, not block light. He mentioned that block light has to be above 0, or block light can be 0 and daylight is above some larger value. Daylight levels on the surface are still greater than zero even at night, so if mobs needed 0 daylight to spawn, you wouldn't get mob spawns at night.

[@sq33z3r3]

​@@LifeSizeTeddyBear please don't, think of the content, the confusion then the chuckle of realisation.

[@zamarion101]

​@@Xeroxias Nuh,hostile mobs literally only spawn at light level 0 except for slimes and nethermobs

[@Imp_MM]

​@@zamarion101 Wrong. At night they spawn at sky light level 7 if no light from a torch or other block is around. Sky light and block light have different spawn rules. Otherwise hostile mobs literally couldn't spawn on the surface.

[@srichra6358]

Nether hub suggestion: the red haze could read as a red sky sunset. The almost catwalk system you folks have going on could be transformed into a boarwalk. Perhaps a moody, romantic boardwalk at sunset over a few layers of blue glass for the ocean? Love ya work, Mr Dubs.

[@EMLemon982]

I could watch bdubs build for hours, it's so therapeutic and it always looks so pretty

[@groovedynasty3929]

Regarding the nether hub, given the raw and scattered atmosphere of the place, I would really aim for an open build. You could leave it as an open space, and create a desert-like field of rolling hills made out of slabs, with a portal (or several ones) on top of each hill. This would take advantage of the unorganized allocation of portals, and make it feel natural. Also, the structure would be fully walkable, easy to oversee and you would not have the logistical (and potentially bad looking) problem of connecting everything through intricate structures. The landscape could be crisscrossed with small paths, and filled with tiny whimsical structures, artworks or vegetation (or could be left empty for a brutalist wasteland-like vibe). You could also consider to build a large overarching hall or dome, if the nether skybox does not suit the build.

[@elodiekat]

Oh, the glass water effect with the hoppers, that slight gradient, is so so good! I also especially loved the fading transitions during the timelapse, and I've never thought to use the big pots hanging either like you did with the cherry leaves. Overall what a lovely, lovely garden!

[@Pinguthepenguinu]

The scaffolding looks like pontoon bridges. Hå long bay (hellscape edition) feels like it would beautifully support the trading and transport vibe. It would uses the cliffs and rocks to enclose the whole area, while keeping the portals accessible. You’d have merchant ships and spice trader vessels and armour stands around the shopping portal. Each hermit could decorate their portal with a nod to their permits.

[@colinhimi]

i can already hear it now “I HATE THE NETHER!!!!” but in all seriousness, i could totally see you making a little town square as the nether hub, with streets, small whimsical buildings, maybe some prehistoric megafauna? definitely lots of space to easily traverse between portals

[@maplehoneybee1211]

I love this idea! esspecially if he could play into a recently abondon town type vibe, where the people had to run away because of a volcano eruption. That would be a good way to "explain" the particle effects in the nether!

[@owowarrior864]

prehistoric megafauna!! :0 like the bone blocks u can find in the nether! fossils ooooo

[@bobsthejunk88]

Garden is absolutely gorgeous. Love the shape of the bonsai tree

[@GSBarlev]

That trick of sticking redstone torches under trapdoors to prevent the buttons and pressure plates from triggering them? *Pure genius.* I happen to be building an office at the moment. I've been using gates with pressure plates on top for desks, and adopting this strategy fixed the issue of the desks breaking every time I jostled them. Thank you!

[@hannahjoy5538]

Something Greek inspired could be beautiful. Like, heavy greenery and white pillars. Little designs on monuments for the portals. Maybe even fake glass water places. With the red nether sky it could feel apocalyptic almost, and would allow the hermits to fly around without a ceiling

[@oliams47o10]

Alright Bdubs, here's my ideas for the Nether Hub: - Train Stations/Airports: Have you played mini motorways or have you seen the London Tube maps. Should be somewhat simple but you could make each portal have it's own little airport or station. - The Brain Neurons: Hermitcraft is one mind full of creative neurons. Take mumbo's 'Mined' as inspiration and build a brain of portals. - The Circuit Board: Portals are light bulbs and power sources and the pathways are the wires. - Dungeons and EnderDragons: Go full Castle/Dungeon hallways with low lamp light and Doom vibes. - Creaking Kingdom: Stick to the grey scale only and create something with some of the new blocks available with a Creaking centre piece Hope that gives you some more ideas to think about.

[@stoar]

Totally greyscale with the ominous red sky would be so cool

[@ManyOtter]

The nether reminds me of an archeological dog site. Lots of ruins/buildings in a pattern that's not immediately obvious because it's not complete. Walkways like what they already have over the top. ❤

[@SIGGe66]

The nether hub reminds me of a fishing village, especially at 47:46. Imagine a fake lava lake underneath and each portal could be its own boat

[@RePorpoised]

I actually envision the nether hub as a space similar to the docks in Yume Nikki. With black stained and tinted glass, you can create dark, murky waters and have lampposts to brighten the area. It also serves to mask the bedrock, maybe adding black concrete below would also help? You could even pop in some islands in between large gaps. Dunno how you’d handle the red fog of the nether with that, but that was my first thought.

[@ibpants]

I never get when people hate one block's texture so vociferously. I appreciate that some blocks are lacking in versatility to the point that they rarely get used, but there's a context for every block.

For the nether hub, you could lean into the aesthetic that the scaffolding is already achieving. That isn't to say just make it out of scaffolding, but it could be a series of ramshackle/rickety walkways. I feel the colour of the haze could lend well to this also.

The current layout of the “nether hub” sort of reminds me of going to the shopping mall. The long hallway of scaffolding, all on one level and the portals like the shops you enter. You are brave for taking on this project. Can’t wait to see how it comes together.

[@professorp1]

For the nether hub, my mind goes to the possibilities presented when the bedrock is removed. Maybe Impulse can break it for you. Just putting that out there

[@mishchellerrr]

i genuinely get amazed EVERYTIME bdubs showcases his design/build

[@losrin1047]

I so look forward to Bdubs' netherhub. I was already so excited when I heard it from Skizz's video

[@Rhutes]

Hey Bdubs My ultimate Nether hub design that's lived in my head for years Build a 1/8th scale map of the overworld, which has been done on hermitcraft before. However you include the height differential, with tiny mountain ranges and valleys on the nether roof. Meaning that you physically fly over the map through the nether to get to your destination. Portals would also be at their correct height coordinates with this accounted for The easiest way to spawn proof this would be to use carpets, which would limit the map to 16 colours, however the blocks under these could be anything. Allowing hermits to customise the areas around their portals to reflect their base/style of they wise. Previously the hub was boxed in, but I don't think that's necessary, just allow free flight out of the undeveloped areas which can be built up as needed. Close to the end of the season it could even be updated to show the terra forming/base development that has happened over time Thanks for reading my idea. I met you back at minecon 2012! Loved you then, love you still

[@guy84838]

for the nether i recommend embracing the hellish aesthetic with black gothic and ornate designs! that will fit well with the already spooky portals there such as scar's murder door. i think you should start by improving the bridges, adding decorative wall/fences, adding points of interest, and also a perimeter around all the portals! kinda like an evil garden/hedge maze? if that makes sense? godspeed and goodluck with whatever you end up doing!

[@elodiekat]

Also, regarding the nether hub - I think it would be very fun to incorporate wind charge flight launchers like the one Cub showed you recently, and lean hard into that flying-friendly design principle as well as the current update. It might even be a way to incorporate elevation changes with platforms or towers in the space between connecting paths to allow folks to launch up or glide, and decor that is more about giving directions or indications of what else is outside the main hub on the roof (like all the carpet paths etc.)

[@CrossFireX32v6]

[@ItsRainingMoo]

For the nether hub, since everyone is flying around, maybe tie important visual information into the floor. Lights/lines leading to far portals, platform color code-ordinating with portal type. (base, common area, etc.) With having no ceilings or walls to keep it open, make a few vertical landmarks that draw the eye to help orient yourself when you hop out of a portal and instantly start flying off.

[@MysteryAccordeonMan]

Nether idea: I really liked pearls biome last season, it just felt comlpetely unique and alien like. Since it has to be open and very modular/flexible it would be intresting to see what happens when 'ol Bdubs comes up with a custom biome idea. Whats important I think is that it would have a story or "lore" why it looks a specific way where peeps can hook into. Great video! The zen garden was again next level!

[@webs4447]

This! ^

[@ElvieBluebell]

Beautiful! Everything you do is artistic.

[@GeorgeJonnie]

For the nether hub, a complete Truman-show style subversion of the nether, glass ocean with sandy-beachy islands and/or boats for the portals to rest on. The ocean and the beaches can be very flat, making traversing easy as well as meaning the portals can be in roughly the same y level. All you’d need is a big backdrop of some pixel art to make the skyline, and and some palm trees, maybe some armour stand crabs?? Plus glass-fog trick can go all the way down to bedrock while not being accessed to add to the depth of the water

[@JeanineMeier]

Having recently seen Wicked and its beautiful practical sets, my first thought, when you said the nether hub should be open, was a yellow “brick” road with the portals surrounded by fanciful facades representing Munchkinland or Oz. Or something similar that isn’t Wicked/Wizard of Oz specific. Makes me want to tough out my Minecraft motion sickness and try building something like that 😊

[@thependragone]

9:05 Bdubs is the Grinch of Hermitcraft 😂

[@Somebody_on_the_internet._.]

Nether hub idea, a space moon kind of surrounding? So you can keep it nice and flat and open but maybe decorate it in the air with like spaceships and aliens or robots? That way you are sure you don't hinder any accesebility to the portals and the redstone is safe! You can use the endstone blocks, sandstone, sandstone slabs and maybe some skulk around to sell the space theme :]

[@kibitzapple_._4278]

40:50 I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹

[@erinhelgason]

for the nether hub, you could treat it as a biome with boardwalks maybe, rather than a large structure with walls? like there could be different trees and plant life, with the scaffolding being replaced by raised boardwalks, and each portal being a point of interest/some plant or structure that represents the hermit it belongs to. If you really wanted to wall it in you could make sort of a glass greenhouse around it

[@captain_noodles]

The sleeping beauty has finally awoken

[@itsselrach4988]

I think for the nether hub and this is a suggestion, I've already have this in my head and I'm going to build it in the server that I'm playing at is that it will have a center build like a statue and have that statue holding some kind of orb. The orb will have glass path walks and will lead into other portals that can be decorated as stars. this design will be flexible because if you are extending the hub, you can just break a hole into the back of the other stars/orbs and continue that glass path edit: the main base will be the one who are connected to the central orb and for the limitations who are the bedrock below you can just make it so it looks like its coming out of bedrock using glass magic

[@TackerTacker]

42:16 - I would like for you to prove this by using all of the supposedly unusable blocks in builds. (I know you could do it!)

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

My first thought picturing how to do the Nether Hub with how it's laid out currently is to build the floor of the hub directly on the bedrock, and set the portal frames into pedestal-like platforms that keep them raised up. It's strongly form over function, because there will be the need to make all the pedestals climbable, whether by stairs, ladders, or what have you, but I really like the mental image the comes with building the portals to each hermits' base as a monument to them, almost like giant trophies.

[@Simmo14]

Hoimycraft, what a treat :D

[@kateeastland3328]

For the nether Im imagining stairways of various heights going up to the portals like an mc Escher painting, then make a big floor and mostly no roof with some taller structures scattered around to add interest

[@yurikasakitten8041]

I find it funny how Bdubs and Joel posted their hermitcraft episode almost on the same time.

[@BotRenato]

For the nether hub ,you could build anything on top and where are the portals make kind like the end portal, where you go down and enter the portal

[@FeyFen]

Nether Hub: With all those limitations I would probably go for something like the rainbow road levels from mario cart! Glass rainbow floors, some nice spawn proof decoration around that don't get in the way while flying with the elytra from portal to portal and decorate all those portals like entries to different worlds, with some indication to what they connect to with their designs.

[@thegamingsociety4440]

Thanks for honoring him and our love for our canine family members.

[@FraustBite]

What if you went for a overgrown runic design. Where all of the portals are old scattered ruins that were revived. Maybe creating a sanctuary because you hate the nether. It might create some lore.

For the nether hub, maybe a massive space with a vaulted ceiling, like the inside of a cathedral? Leaves things open, minimal upward-facing blocks, and the red fog would give a real sense of distance and make the space feel even bigger! P.S. Great relaxing video, just what I needed after a hard day of work

50:00 I think, building off of Joe’s area in the nether, a 1/8th scale model/map of the overworld could work pretty well! Build it out of wool+carpet and nothing will spawn

[@liamfink1232]

I second that.

[@susantummon3463]

Didnt the hermits have that in a season already? I want to say season 4 maybe? I seem to remember a tiny representation of the mumbo-drone. However, it is still a good idea.

​@@susantummon3463i think they did it in season 6 too

For the nether hub: a dark and moody forest with huge trees. The stems so high that you can barely see the top. Or: huge cave with stalagmites and stalactites. Moody but colorful because of all the minerals. Both concepts would embrace the chaos. Can't wait to see what you're coming up with; what you've done to XBs base was wonderful!

What came to mind for me was a Mad Max type of wasteland for the nether hub, the portals could be on vehicles getting transported, or placed in crumbling structures.

I’ll co-sign it if he said it. Retail management for 15 years did it to me.

I'm glad you're building the nether hub! I was afraid there wouldn't be one this season and they were always cool in previous seasons. Tango's hub from S9 and the minimap from S6 did the etherial realm feeling really well. I always wanted to build a nether hub that's like an explorer's base on an alien planet. Scientists opened portals to this other world and are establishing research outposts there. Portals can be open or enclosed in huts or caves. Mirrors the actual use of the nether where you all opened portals there for a more industrial use, transport. Doesn't have to be aliens either, could be an underworld like the actual nether, or whatever else

For the nether roof: Only do a foreign planet surface using elevation to highlight portals. You could even request hermits to personalise their own portal to keep them recognizable. Maybe some alien vegetation?
