Minecraft Let's Play - Ep. 0: INSANE START! (Minecraft 1.21)

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Ive said this to many hermits, do NOT be afraid to ask others for tips or help. You have a bonkers pool of resources to pull from in the form of your work/friend group known as the HC server. Inwould try to have a sit down with Gem, Pearl, Scar and Bdubs just to chat about trees and organics in general. I guarantee not only will they all be down to help you out but youll also learn a lot. Those 4 Hermits combined are a ridiculous font of knowledge especially with organic shapes, terraforming, tricky things like trees, and even the times its ok to throw everything out the window and go boldly in a different direction (like Scars solid cubic trees from Scarland).

[@benformoney]

agreed

[@Flanneryschickens]

Xisuma even did some really neat vertical trees near one of his shops and had a part of his video explaining how he made them. It turned out so well

[@Staz123]

what is bro babbling about

[@artchick8024]

I love it when builders talk through their process....makes for a great learning experience. Really looking forward to seeing your expand your tree!

[@davidmarker8576]

DUDE, that beginning... So Jevin. You channeled your inner-speedrunner a bit there.

[@Icicle_Racing]

Except he didn’t take the gold to trade to piglins 😭 AND he could use the tnt to get blocks quickly which would be handy in the Nether

[@Icicle_Racing]

He did do SUPER well tho

[@capedkat]

I am super impressed. Never have I seen a let's play start like this 😃

[@lexingtonsodyssey]

I haven’t watched your channel in probably about 10 years, so glad you’re still going strong and would love to see you give an overall life update to us OGs🤣 I remember you had the super sick base that went into the mountain with hidden doors in the waterfalls and a ton of automation I would love to see you do another type of base like that, I’ve always based any base I made off of that idea🤣

[@walover165]

Me, thinking this would be a nice peaceful lunchtime watch: Me having a HEART ATTACK when those piglins dropped on you in the bastion:

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

This is the first non-Hermitcraft video of yours that I’ve seen, iirc. I like how you gave the seed & give coordinates so that people can play along, & how you’re describing things. The treehouse is great, too. I’m submitting my entry for a Java copy of Minecraft because I’m mostly bedridden these days, & I want to have a goal to get back to my computer to play the game that I love watching you Hermits play. (Writing this propped up in bed on my phone. My hand dexterity needs a mouse & keyboard, unfortunately, so I can’t easily play the PE version.)

[@capedkat]

I hope you get well soon 💐

[@Renaid13]

I love the barrels AS walls! They look cool and hold all the stuff! Great idea.

[@MuffinKat-ve2qe]

Very impressive portal building. You jump right into the tough tasks. It's fun to see your pro tips and tricks for early game and how you reach your build goals from a unique approach such as treasure hunting night 😅

[@TheHippyTrix]

New sub here: Really excited for this series. I like your style and the tree was beautiful. I really enjoyed how you showed the coordinates so people can play along with you. I think it could be cool in a year to see a compilation of how you and the viewers all build the same world differently. As per the MC code if you have a pc code i would love to use it to play challenge maps, learn redstone and building better (more creativity) and maybe try the servers. I haven't played mc since I was a kid on PlayStation 3 lol. Anyways Thank You for the good vibes content. PS how did your xp bar look rainbow while you were in the cave? I loved it!

[@TheGrumpBunny]

I love how you did the interior Jevin! It’s so cozy, the treehouse is beautiful!

[@timeittells]

frankly, I love your let's plays whether or not I think they'll run long at all. don't worry about disappointing anyone if you don't want to continue any given project. love you jev!

[@AlishaDianeJordanOlin]

I enjoy watching you just have fun playing the game. I like picking up cool ideas for building and decorating from you and all the fantastic youtubers who do Let's Plays.

[@Sloppystew39]

His bedrock server is super awesome! Everyone is so nice and very helpful!!❤

[@richardsaldana7712]

Can it be played on Xbox? If so I will definitely join it!

[@Sloppystew39]

@@richardsaldana7712 yep!

[@julierosemodelproductions]

you weren't kidding when you said you found a really cool seed omgg!! amazing start

[@Supermarezy]

I'm so looking forward to seeing the tree grow as you progress! What a great first episode!

[@SuzieM338]

I was so excited to see you starting a new LetsPlay! Super fun to watch. Looking forward to another episode!

[@irisbear9421]

This is in fact, an amazing seed! GG on the keyboard mash

[@glasssandplane]

I’m loving the style of this let's play, cant wait for the next episode! 🤩

[@lus_2095]

I've been a HC fan for quite some time now but it's my first time watching iJevin content and I am enjoying it alot :D subbed! Edit: I REALLY like the idea of your base growing as the season goes. Love that so much

[@ScottHart-nu5xb]

You should get a map from a villager right away and go the the trial chamber right away just for the early game blocks.

[@taeglakaufman5101]

Jevin, really loved the episode, can’t wait for the next one. I love how you talk through your process.

[@CaterpieAA]

I enjoy the classic Minecraft let's plays more than more recent ones so it is good to see this kind of video. I am submitting for Java Edition because I've been playing Bedrock for years on my Nintendo Switch and I would love to try out a lot of mods that are unavailable on Bedrock

[@DixielandTreasures]

Well, a code would be cool. I'm a minecraft player from 2013, and I'm now just getting back into it. That's how I found you. I watched a lot of your first videos in the last couple of weeks, and now I've got my elytra after many years.

[@j-robspoketalk8054]

This was a lot fun ! Your tree looks awesome man ! Can’t wait for the next episode !

[@MochaFlips]

I really enjoyed your talk-through of some of your creative/building decisions because making decisions on where & what to build is often a struggle for me. 😂

[@EpicMuttonChops]

i've never seen a single episode of yours, so idk why the algorithm put this video in my suggesteds, but i had to click to see how insane your start was. a village and shipwreck at spawn? day 1 bastion?! day 1 netherite?! i was half expecting you to find a trial chamber as well down in the caves!

[@Verygoodfeel01]

I so happy to see you play survival again you are so good at it.

[@marcusagustin1601]

crazy tree house build on day one wow! amazing work 😅 about the minecraft code, just taking the chance here since I’ve always wanted to play java with my lil brother but we can’t since we only have one account. hope that’s a good reason. cheers to a new series to watch! 🤩

[@alysoffoxdale]

I am endlessly amused at the dichotomy of your ruthless adventurer persona who always builds the coziest bases! 😂 Also, wow!!! Monster Hunter advancement not obtained until in the nether?!? Netherite pickaxe on day 5??? Seriously, that alone would make me grab a villager and break a lectern until I got mending, but I am an overcautious farmer through and through. That's actually one of the things I like best about your channel, actually: the way you consistently make courageous (though sometimes definitely foolhardy) choices that I would never in this world...

[@kaelestials]

honestly just want minecraft so I can heal my inner child bc all I did growing up was watch youtubers play and live vicariously through them...

[@alangloor6220]

I don't deserve a code, but love what you're doing. Minecraft has been one of the main ways my son and I bond. We're currently playing in the hermitcraft x seed together. Keep up the good work!

[@WiKKiT666]

Hey so pretty sure if you break the chest from the treasure map other close by maps will give a different map than the one you broke.

[@bunk57]

I'm not a long time viewer, I've only been following minecraft content for the last year or two. I can break down a few points that lead me to either watch or not watch a video. Upload dumps and time restrictions. I know it isn't necessarily planned or coordinated, but once in a while there are several creators that upload videos at the same day or time even. While I try to watch all of it, I only have so much time so some videos will slip through the cracks. KZbin will always consistently put a video from mumbo for example because he has so many subscribers. When big current events happen, even though I don't watch any news videos it will still put those on my feed rather than a minecrsft video from somebody I watch that was uploaded a few days ago. As for something more specific to this video, consistency is key. It's a new series, I love early minecraft, but it is more gridy and I can see how it isn't as entertaining to everybody. When somebody sees a new upload for a single player series, they have a pretty good idea of what episode 1 content is so they might not click ok it. Also recurring viewers might not be as interested because it wasn't that long ago since your last hard-core world started. While I think a new setting and starting from the beginning makes for the best content and most fun experience, starting a whole new world might cause people who were invested in the last world to lose interest, and not want to invest in a new one for fear that it will end soon. And that is the problem with hard-core worlds to me, the nature of the game forces you to restart for time. The risk is good for challenge style content, but not so much long form let's plays. I love how gem did a "restart" for her single player let's play. She just moved a few hundred blocks away and pretended it was a new world. It helps keep a single world going so people will stay invested, and down the road when new viewers discover the channel they have a long lost to binge watch. Even etho has moved to new terrain and built new bases to keep his series interesting, but agyer spending some time you always have the rest of the world to go back to. To speak to why I enjoy your content in particular, you are very good at expression/communication. It's fun to watch somebody having fun, and the way you narrate and talk to the audience really feels like we are there on the couch with you. It's probably my favorite part about your content style, it's very personal and engaging, where most creators feel like they're talking to a general audience, you're very good at capturing the feeling thay you are speaking to each individual person watching. The last bit I can think about is variety of projects. Being able to switch between builds (which is another thing you're very good at) farm designing, and pointless fun Redstone or game mechanic projects makes a series feel full and well rounded. Unfortunately, part of the poor turnout is probably due to current events taking over a lot of people's feed and there isn't much you can control about that. But I do feel focusing on your strengths of being a very personable content creator while keeping the series going for longer is a good direction to go in. Maybe pick up more Redstone projects like you said so you have several different types of projects to bounce around to will keep the videos and your playing experience more versatile and keep everybody more engaged. Maybe even make shorter episodes (15-20) and upload every 4ish days, because the other thing that draws people in is seeing consistent attention for that series by the creator. Maybe that's all just my opinion, I'm not actually a youtuber and minecrsft content is literally all I watch, so my view might be skewed. But I hope some of that perspective might be useful and that this series levels out and gets more views. Being such a relatable and personable creator, I think your single player content is some of the most enjoyable solo content and it is surprising to hear it's not going well this time around

[@Envinix]

I'm literally watching this because of his Comminty Post. This did not make my feed because it isn't hermitcraft tagged. How I saw the commity post before this video who knows?

[@SaltyFries_ishere]

I haven't watched Mincraft in years and suddenly had to just watch a series again, hope you'll make more parts!

[@shawnholbrook7278]

I know that you have a rep as a speed runner, I like the chill pace of some of the let's plays.

[@Dr.Smiley1652]

I love let's plays! Excited for episode 2

[@Illine_Janse_van_R]

Look self-nominating feels super-super weird to me... But hey lemme not blabber on. So my story is that I vividly remember buying minecraft for my family's Xbox 360 in 2018, playing in a sweltering hot room and not caring because I could play minecraft. It was also one of the ways me and my younger brother would spend time with each other (which we didn't really like doing or should I say was extremely rare if it didn't end in nuclear-level arguments....) but playing minecraft was one of the only ways we'd enjoy spending time together without fighting. Another vivid memory is that we would wake up before school to play, even after our mom had scolded us and probably punished us numerous times. We just couldn't get enough of it. Even when there were only 3 tree types in the game XD. Fast forward to COVID we had to sell up (from the furniture to the Xbox to the pots and pans) and move (not to get tmi but we were oh-so-broke). I wanted to play Minecraft so desperately but couldn't afford to buy it. Another fast forward and things are a touch better, but still couldn't afford to buy it. I started 'playing' vicariously through Lets-plays and HermitCraft. If anything it made me want to play even more! Now me and a bunch of close friends (basically family who've been with us through our darkest) want to play together, but we can't... Because me and my brother have to share an old Bedrock account. So we can't play together, or we'll have to pick and choose (most likely starting up our now a thing of the past, nuclear-level arguments.) So I would like to ask for the one Bedrock code, so that me, my brother, our 'family' and significant others can all play together. To foster that special and rare friendship, fellowship and community we've found. If you're even considering this, thank you so much! (And sorry for the essay....) Thx from a broke kid in South Africa.

[@odakotarose]

congrats on a new lets play! i don't need a code for myself but i'd love to get one for my little brother so we can play together. i'd buy it for him but we're not having a great time financially right now so pretty much everything goes to food/rent/utilities but it'd be nice to have something we can do together to unwind

[@NG_Kia]

I played Minecraft when i was younger on Playstation, and my friends have always played it too but on PC... and i've just bought my first PC ever... but haven't bought Minecraft for it yet, would be nice to win it :)

[@shawnholbrook7278]

💖🌲 I like the tree. It is a cool idea to grow as the season grows. My own world with my kids has lots of mountains and I love it.

[@nmgg6928]

Love the growing tree base idea. Great start Jev 😊

[@BreachHype]

Wish you used some of those water breathing potions for the flooded caves! 😭 the diamonds are wild there

[@rooforrest3670]

I have watched you on and off for like 10 years just got a pc last week this is awesome your starting a new world

[@imunlaxed1924]

3:13 Realest statement ever said

[@dimitrikemitsky]

I think one thing also cool about single player is you can think looooong term if you want. Like you don't have to do seasons, you could make this a perma-world if you choose, have that kind of long-term legacy world.

[@oopsi5968]

Hi Jevin, i would absolutely love to have a copy of minecraft because I've never really experienced the games other than just watching it on youtube, I've always loved the way you can have free creativity and the ability to be whoever you want by just placing blocks. Having this would be a game changer and looking forward to see if i have a chance at wining a copy.

[@valacirca_82]

I must admit, the netherite ingot in the first episode is something else :D I hope this series lasts, I like the start :)

[@morgunkorn_]

Hey Jevin, super stoked at your new single player world, you put a lot of effort into producing this first episode! Thank you so much for:) I would love to have a code for Java so my friend who cannot afford it can join our small multiplayer server and we can play together

[@wolfsbane100mg]

Well done jevin , always amazes me when you get good stuff in the very initial phase, hope you would continue this let's play 😂

[@Sinl3ss_]

What happened to the last Let’s Play Jev? It was really fun to watch.

[@unreleasedtracks1790]

15:26 😂😂😂 jevin singing man eater

[@supersavior_gamer9373]

Love the content looking forward to this series looking forward to seeing how you progress ❤ lots of love been around for years

[@thomasmclachlan181]

The fact you didn't duplicate the netherit upgrade though 😢

[@nathanpuno2569]

Should’ve saved the upgrade till you had more diamonds to duplicate with

[@jeffbrady7840]

Video hasn't started yet, but I'm SO INSANELY EXCITED for this 🎉

[@valacirca_82]

I must admit, the netherite ingot in the first episode is something else :D I hope this series will indeed be a bit longer ;)

[@nifegun]

Posting here hoping Jevin sees it, Bro for the head shop, just get the hermits to make a couple rare or unique version of their heads, throw them in a randomized head dispenser, charge 8 diamonds for a random head. There are many hermits who just throw diamonds at gambling and luck games. They always perform very well on the hermitcraft server. OR go RUN with it. ( i think that's what it was called, but make a luck based set of small obstacles, where hermits buy a chance to get a random head. They'll still do it, like all day. You play minecraft with a ton of nerds who play TCGs, they can't not collect things if it feels like opening a booster pack.

[@KASS_ON_GO]

I’ve been getting back into Minecraft on the Xbox lately. Life has been really hard tbh and mc has been my escape. I would love to get a Java code so I can play with other people (I can’t play w people on Xbox Bc I don’t have Xbox live) Minecraft is honestly so much better when you play with friends :)

[@MarshEntertainment]

Yay so excited for the new let’s play! Awesome start haha lfggg

[@growingcrazy4481]

That’s a pretty nice seed, I don’t know why I’m thinking dragon island where you’re building your base

[@mynameb1ake]

i come from watching your lets play videos 6 years ago! pls continue this series i would love to see a full playthrough again.

[@andyroon3931]

He’s not going to be always does this

[@farmlyfe857]

You leave the stuff in the shipwreck because you don't want to take it to the nether? Carry back to the village where you build the portal and put all the shipwreck stuff in a village chest

[@farmlyfe857]

Buried treasure not shipwreck

[@groovy8168]

New lets play! I would love to have a Minecraft code to give to my friend, for the longest time we've been wanting to get her Minecraft so we can play together :D

[@anjie4197]

Lets go new let's play!

[@tiffanycarlyle4908]

I love and hate the starter grind. You made that bastion look easy.❤

[@KpopGirl623]

I have Minecraft but I’d love to get it for my nephew! He loves playing at my house so I’d love to get him set up on the game at his home. Love the growing tree concept! Looking forward to seeing this world grow!

[@bahesh9388]

It was an amazing video , loved it Classic style hevin , going to the nether first day, lol.

[@caseyk425]

0:29 self realized. Jev, you are like a wise yogi.

[@muchorchar4093]

Woop new lets play

[@JudiceAdems]

It’s a pretty nice tree for episode 1!

[@winebird8952]

Oh snap it’s a new Let’s play! I wonder if that’s why KZbin didn’t push it?!? Happy I saw your community post to bring me here!

[@ljay7920]

That was insane. I love Let's Play!

[@MrPhad]

Love Hermitcraft, I like the community that is there. This is the first video of yours I have seen though. I already have minecraft so I don't need a code. I am trying to get a friend into minecraft so if there are any java edition codes left. I could get them playing. Loved this video btw. I will be following more of you.

[@staciledford3393]

I am playing the same seed as you and I found a deepslate emerald! It’s in a mine shaft coordinate x-767 y4 z3298 I’d love to see you find this in your videos!

[@aydentube_]

26:52 it’s for the new mace item

[@aqtivs]

i have been waiting for another let’s play for sooo long let’s gooo

[@TeeeOn2Wheels]

I had two accs pre migration and after a couple year hiatus would love to get back into java

[@phillwaterhouse4315]

Id appreciate a java code for my daughters. So we could play together. Love the new single player lets play by the way can't wait for the next episode!

[@ElvieBluebell]

Now I have some time, I have come to watch your new episode and it is great! I did not realize I could find treasure with co-ordinates! I must try now.

[@Taurielfae7769]

14:14 this is a gorgeous area and you should totally turn that floating rock into a blimp 😅 cause that's what it looks like

[@Kenc10]

Nice tree house, i wish i was as creative as you obout minecraft code i want it to play whit my friends but good luck to everyone

[@xpr3stox342]

You have a good heart Jevin. Don't lose it. ❤

[@Drews17]

it pained me when you didn't dupe the netherit template and not making a enchanter or get mending because it is so much more expensive in levels when it is netherit but yeah I like this video and i have Minecraft already so will you give it to someone that doesn't because it is so much more fun when new people join but that is your decision. P.S love the tree :)

[@staciledford3393]

18:31 how do collect the loot like that?? I know about left shift and moving all stacks at one time. But how do you hover and move them all like that?? Please I need answers😂 😭

[@Cuestrupaster]

Die in a bastion? Never, die because of kinectic energy? Always, die because you forgot how strong the Wither explosion is? Sure.

[@lukemateo9500]

8:00 LMAO 🤣 "w'sup"

[@katcrafter7]

I would love a Minecraft code! I love playing with my kids and watching their imagination run wild. I am the builder my son is the miner and my daughter is the explorer!

[@MyNam3IsSue]

So, why do I think I deserve a code? I don't personally but I would like to get a java code for one of my kids. They love MC a lot. I love playing with them, but they play on bedrock and I love java with all the mods and shaders and stuff. They recently told me they want to play MC like dad does and as I'm getting them a new laptop soon it would be nice to have an extra java code so I can make that happen. Thank you for all you put out and GOOD LUCK to everyone wanting a code. If I don't get it, I hope you do and play well!

[@johanputter5061]

…O there's a bastion... lets go raid it!...you are Carry dude!

[@shinyrock6498]

Re:the post you made, since there are so many hermits, I have trouble keeping up with all of the videos so I'm less likely to click on nong hermitcraft videos. That being said, knowing it's every other week increases the likely hood that I'll watch the let's play videos since I do enjoy you and your videos.

[@novastarlightxo]

First things first this seed is absolutely awesome! I love the timelapse building parts! It's so fun to watch. I would love to win a java code for my daughter, she's been watching people play Minecraft on youtube, including a few Hermitcraft members, for a few years now, and I just haven't had the extra money to get her a computer or a Minecraft account. She was recently gifted a laptop so now she's trying to save up for her own Minecraft account. I think it would make her whole year to be able to finally play on her own computer.

[@capedkat]

I've been watching iJevin and his friends for years, but I just recently bought the game. I'm not sure if I will ever get good and not be confused which key does what, so I'm not entering the give-away. I'm not sure if playing the game myself is something I keep trying. But I do have a question about the give-away: What is a Minecraft code?

[@echoseeker9178]

Loved it 🥰

[@PookieKatie]

Great episode, Jev! Looking forward to the next video

[@ElvieBluebell]

I love the tree house!

[@AnonymousNetizen-be6ww]

Netherite before diamonds???!!! Very impressive!

[@SnapesHoney2800]

Hey Jevin, instead of a mega tree how about a grouping of different sized trees and make an Ewok Village style base?

[@Iceodactyl]

I’m very interested in getting Minecraft for a few reasons, my siblings play and because I live hours away I don’t have the ability to play with them, I don’t “deserve” it per say however I’d love to be able to have the chance to interact with others make some buddies and have a good time playing for hours on end. My family has a realm I’m currently not a part of because I don’t have it on my pc. Hope whoever gets it enjoys it thoroughly may you have a blessed day/night. Been a silent watcher for forever keep up the great work man

[@catmus1506]

Great video. Those bees look suspiciously like a certain K man…😅
