Hermitcraft 10: Episode 13 - FIRST BASE BUILD!

In this episode of Hermitcraft Season 10, Mumbo works on the first build in his survival mega base! This detailed Minecraft shop build was first designed in Procreate as a Minecraft concept art, then built on the Hermitcraft server. This build is the first of many for my Minecraft survival mega base.

Very minor detail, but I think it'd be fun if the falling "o" in the Big Ron's sign was not glowing so it'd look like the light in the sign broke.

[@Pencilneckgeek216]

I feel like you need to capture a pillager and put him in the store to be Ron. I imagine Ron to be rather cranky, and I think those pillager noises would be perfect :) It takes a bit of time, but all you have to do is wait until an archer's crossbow breaks, and they become harmless.

There is something glorious about living in an era where "slightly old, faded technology shop" is not just a concept of the far future, but is actually a thing that we just know about in real life. Even if many probably got a start as an electronics repair place, the fact that "old, faded computer repair/supply shop" is a thing that makes sense as being and feeling "old and rundown" says a lot about how far computers have come.

@@thelesbeean3810 Darn you.... I got my first phone in high school, a flip/feature phone that wasn't really mine but something for us kids (at the time) to use. Sometime later I had a government issued track phone (we weren't the richest of folks) then later after that I got a Lotus (which I actually loved, didn't care that it was purple and had flowers on it (I'm a guy and generally don't care for that stuff)). My family was quite late to the smart phone game not buying any until probably around a decade ago. In my case it was a Galaxy J7 (not S, J) then I had a Oneplus 7T Pro for a while and most recently upgraded to a Pixel 8 Pro (the port on the 7T was basically dead and the battery life wasn't holding up so well either, the Pixel has wireless charging so I can still use it if the port dies and it has minimal bloat unlike the ever popular Samsung phones). I also still remember floppy disk though they were a dying breed by the time we got our first computer (which we connected to the internet with dial up). Still remember having to diagnose a malfunctioning floppy drive while also missing my library card (we had toddlers in the house). Haven't been to a library in quite a while (aside from a short visit to get some free eclipse shades). Anyone remember the old Toonami days (when it was prime time)?

[@sensendeente7838]

I absolutely love how Mumbo went from "Clean and flush design" to "Let's try gradients" to "This 4x4 wall needs at least 15 different block types." With all the excitement in between, that journey is just so pure and wholesome

[@JebiIbej]

he's evolving

[@mz-power9587]

well he went from noisy textured patterns to gradients. but now he's experimenting with more different looking blocks. personally I find the build to be a little too noisy with color pallete. and could be made better with different block choices or just less noisyness and more flush areas. more deliberateness. but there's also some charm in his style learning from all the other hermits trying to imitate them to make better builds. Edit: typo

[@BadgeBadge314]

Yea, you can see the inspo from bdubs

[@Me-da-Ghost]

@@mz-power9587 I personnally love the noisiness because it makes the build look even more run-down and realistic.

[@mz-power9587]

@@Me-da-Ghost and fair enough. I personally would go for a different approach in the build to try and get the same vibes but more in my style. Trying to use my admittedly amateur color theory knowledge. Though one thing is his build that actively bugs me is the windows. The difference in depth is just too drastic. I would have just gone for a few missing glass panes. Or maybe some stained glass mixed in to make it look cloudy and dirty. I think that complaint has more to do with “ocd”. Also glass thinning over time like that isn’t really a thing. Edit: also I just want to make clear there’s no hate at all here. Just some critical analysis. All that matters is mumbo having fun creating content and us enjoying to watch it. The fun he is having really shows

[@BusterBeachside]

Ron's been in business so long that he still remembers " 'Ello, everyone, this is Mumbo here!"

[@winteriscurrentlydeadinsid2332]

I know it might not be as satisfying as a timelapse, but I really do like mumbos approach to authentically showing the building process and talking through it. It feels more honest to the amount of work that gets put in, building something now takes a whole episode now instead of 60 seconds and I think it’s really cool.

[@goblinounours]

Seriously, I've seen others like Grian make "concept arts" of what they want to do, but never have I seen someone do it so much more practical than Mumbo before. He never forgot that Minecraft is a block-game, so he made it isometrical, which means he can stick to his concept way better than if he had made some pretty painting full of curves.

[@jnmaietta]

Anyone know the program he used?

[@AthenaGrayEyes]

I believe in a previous video he used procreate

[@goblinounours]

@@jnmaietta I don't think he used anything special. With some patience, you can achieve this result on Photoshop, Illustrator or GIMP, etc. Just have to use straight lines and add colors on a different layer. The fact that the colors are bleeding over the edges of the drawing shows that it's less likely to be a super special software uniquely made FOR this type of drawing, and it would make me think more of a free-hand software like Photoshop rather than a more vectorial software like Illustrator, for example. *EDIT :* I should've seen how Mumbo indicated Procreate in the description.

Big Ron is the person you take your laptop to when it's decided to bluescreen right before you have to turn in a big presentation after getting 3 viruses that made it past the anti-virus protection. He definitely would be able to somehow pull off all the files without grabbing the viruses and gets the startup times going even faster than it did straight out of the box. He always has the glass bottles of coke in the back if you're gonna be hanging around and a partially working arcade cabinet over in the corner that he says he's going to fix someday but hasn't gotten around to yet.

[@ArtblockInsomniac]

I'm absolutely in love with the way this season has been. I'm willing to say this has been the most entertaining season to watch mumbo, period.

[@rayyansiddiqui2487]

Mumbo's such a good artist?! Wow I was not expecting that architecture drawing. The video quality this season has been amazing so far

[@ruemistressofyeets]

Part of me wants to see a series of tee shirts for the various businesses along this street, incorporating the graphics from the business cards. Kind of the ultimate stealth-geek, "if you know you know" kind of thing.

[@TheCapybaraGamerz]

Mumbo Jumbo!!!Your building skills have evolved over the years and now you’re nearing the moustached builder and I love your new bases

[@PastelLavenderYT]

My parents said if I reach 20k, they'd buy me a professional camera for recording... Pls guys I'm literally begging you!😁💜

It’s a comment in general not just about this episode

[@averybuffington7274]

I'm obsessed with how in-depth the worldbuilding Mumbo is doing is. It really brings everything to life! ❤

Mumbo casually becoming one of the most fun builders to watch on the server

[@evihippogrief772]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="498">8:18</a> "Is this a box" he says... Look around! It's minecraft! Everything's a box here Mumbo

[@Bubblesthewitch]

The concept art and graphic design is probably making this Mumbo’s best season on HC (since season 7 when I started watching). It helps highlight that outside of Minecraft he is an incredibly talented creative professional. I’m a videographer myself and the more that side of Mumbo comes through the more I love it!

[@Blueroflmao]

"Im not sure how we had any fun in Minecraft before packed dirt was added!" Mumbo Jumbo says, as he is building a REDSTONE shop.

[@Ryder42]

idk why.. but I'm marveling at how well that sentence was said at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1125">18:45</a> ...again idk why but was was "pretty good" kekw

[@FaerieEnderHare]

I think one of the most satisfying things is to see Mumbo slowly become an amazing all-rounder. redstone, filming, building, art, and other creative and healthy thingies he has yet to show. Mumbo, you have generally amazed me and become a sort of model/inspiration for many.

[@herowin3825]

First Mumbo unconciously transfers Idea to next season as Odea Now Big Eye Ron lost its eye and became Big Ron

[@AnotherFreeMind]

The "Art Mode" perfectly hitting the corner made me happy

[@ArtAnimeEmerly]

I love how much fun you're having with your creativity recently! Rather than stressing when you don't like something, you're using it as a chance to try something new, and your enjoyment of the process is really coming across. I'm glad it seems like you've managed to find your passion again after your break

[@Vibo_Vibes96]

I don't usually comment on anything and there's literally no way you're going to see this, but Mumbo, your concept art is immaculate. As an artist who struggles to draw backgrounds, it is actually so amazing to me that you've just done that. It is genuinely *so* good I cannot stress it enough. I love the colours and all the texture that was put in to such a simple drawing. The lines are completely straight (as I'm assuming you likely used a tool), and yet the fact that they overlap and continue at certain points where they shouldn't somehow adds so much more character to it. It looks amazing and I hope to see more concept art-type stuff because WOW. It's messy in the beautiful kind of way, and it's your's. :D

[@hunterwulfstern6121]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1004">16:44</a> - Never knew about GSM, but in summary its: GSM stands for 'grams per square metre' and refers to the weight of the paper. The heavier the paper, the higher the number of grams per square metre - and, generally, the higher the perceived quality of the stock. This is sometimes referred to as the paper's 'grammage'. Source for the internet, copied and pasted. Thank you Mumbo for teaching me something new today :D

[@hunterwulfstern6121]

Following from this. If it's low, it your typical tracing paper and classic A4 and the higher it is, it things like crafting paper and business cards

[@WackoMcGoose]

To be fair, GSM is a lot more logical than the American standard of paper weight, which is just "pounds" (of what? copy paper is typically rated as "20lb", but _how many sheets_ makes that up? and what size, legal, 8.5x11, something else?). Having the weight be that of "one square meter" of paper is unambiguous.

[@demolisherinfinite8606]

Most traditional artists will also be able to tell you about paper weight because it matters hugely to the type of medium they use, whether it’s watercolour or acrylic paint. Paper can also come in gloss or textured finishes. The more you know!

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

I love this episode so much. The WORK, the BACKSTORY, the GIDDINESS. Just wonderful vibes

[@audriantan]

mumbo saying that those of us who watched to the end get to see the build in its final form (lampost included) feels like... he... gaslit? us? this episode is full of great jokes and puns and wordplay. and incredible art + builds. well done mumbo!!

[@Peregrine1989]

So I want to comment on the genius of the Business card. Ultimately a building is made up by a bunch of factors. And one of those factors is the owner. Yeah leaving boxes outside is one thing... but by designing the business card you had a very VERY clear idea of who Ron was. And that lead you to decide to do the 1.25 blocks on the roof as Big Ron isn't going to pay to repair his roof, and likely contributed to the O falling down from the sign. The concept art shaped the idea of a shop.... the business card shaped the owner, which in turn shaped the shop more.

[@brianrowe9880]

The tribute to Bob Ross is perfect, years ago in a live stream you wondered how 50% of your viewers don't play MC. It is the same as the people watching Bob that don't paint.

[@pranoymenon8399]

having just enjoyed watching the VODs of those livestreams many years after they were streamed, i 100% agree

[@nikapanda160]

Oh so Big Ron’s is Bob Ross… idk how mumbo managed to sneak this one by me ngl

[@Lotus77777]

I love the theme of Big Ron’s. A very wholesome and nostalgic type of store.

[@Echo_Batt]

they joy i felt when the artmode thingy in the background finally hit the corner perfectly

[@cairoraiser9338]

Did anyone else notice Mumbo lingering on the “do not leave outside” box when talking, as if asking us to notice his funny jokey detail without having to explain the joke (since that makes it less funny)

[@timwalther3294]

I am convinced "BIG RON'S" was once called "BIG IRON'S" and only sold irons for the first couple decades - but then, as technology advanced got more and more stock of other items.

[@catboygremlin]

new headcanon: Big Iron was actually Big Ron's grandpa, and the store used to sell cast iron household appliances (I'm thinking coffee grinders, dutch ovens, etc) and then ron inherited the store and updated it to more modern electronics

[@timwalther3294]

@@catboygremlin Thats even better!

[@kamikazesatellite2830]

Big Eye Ron's was a shop that sold iron in Season 8, owned by Tango.

[@acerniss]

I love how he personifies the build so much, the storyline just makes it so much better
