My dearest viewers, this has been... a project. Let's leave at that shall we?! :D RD

[@kevindavis6442]

I think it’s beautiful ! And a million times better than I’ve ever built !

[@sebbes333]

*@rendog* 3:09 That's just PERFECTLY on-brand for Scab Land, keep it backwards :D

[@virusO1OOOOO1]

Love the hard work Ren 😅 P.s. the bee head should be named to the Steeve in honor of the Stig from Top Gear 😂😅

[@j_j_j_j_j154]

@rendog with the swords, can players try and hit eachothers boats

[@eswing2153]

I can’t believe you pulled this off. Insane.

[@chelseyrosem]

i think it’d be horrible if you ‘accidentally’ ran out of blocks on a few corners and filled it in with something random or nothing at all

[@litus42]

Just some dirt blocks... 🤣

[@chelseyrosem]

🤣 yay for a ‘completed’ build!! came out horribly amazing

[@ginae5437]

​dirt blocks and diorite at random intervals 😂

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Oh my goodness, the nether portal to there needs missing corners and a few failed portal making attempts around lol

[@ryan_1314]

If there's a gap in the back he should add a sign saying something like "this is just like grian's builds!"

[@elliotgandersen]

The ironic thing about Scabland Castle is that the storage system is very neatly organized, compared to the chaotic array of Scarland’s Castle.

[@castlebeki]

everything is the opposite ;)

[@akiraotoishi5756]

i like scabland castle im going to make my unique version in the same style i think its a beautiful style when finished

[@nonsensicalexis]

Back at the very beginning of the season, TFC mentioned a goal of building an ugly base for the season, so in my mind I think he’s smiling down and laughing at the amazing ugliness of the scabland castle. ❤

[@angelfire42682]

Reading that name has me wondering what sort of base he would have built... RIP TFC

[@AtticHaunt321]

“Scab Castle is backwards!” Funny story… When the imagineers showed Walt Disney the model for the castle for Disneyland, he stared at it, walked around it, then turned it around backwards and said that’s how it should be.

[@Joscat60]

I can feel Doc's property value drop to the earth's core

[@narlano05]

Maybe the next big project, shielding the perimeter from the view of Scab castle, is already being planned :)

[@lomiification]

It only goes down to -64

[@spooked_glitch]

The warping of Scar's timelapse music is a hilarious running gag, may I suggest playing it backwards for the next one? Lmao

[@j_j_j_j_j154]

Yessss, this is gold

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

A reverse Timelapse could be interesting as well..

[@white6505]

yea, i noticed it aswell. ren is really becoming reverse scar

[@smartpig555119]

Part of the castle has to be coloured in the classic purple and black checkered “missing texture” pattern we all know and love

[@Alice-vy6ei]

The fact that Scabcastle is facing the wrong way is just such a poetic irony

[@fandomshark]

This entire season has just been filled with passion projects from everyone. Beef’s TCG, Tango’s Decked Out 2, Jevin’s netherite beacon, Joe’s pinball machine, Scar’s Scarland, Doc’s perimeter, your (and Etho’s) Blue River Raceway, Zed’s Zedvancements, etc. All the collaborations and shenanigans and genuinely amazing accomplishments from everyone. Absolutely unforgettable.

[@cassroot470]

Docc is so underrated - “It’s a formal event, I’ve got my maid outfit out”

[@Mismatched2]

I love when Ren Diggity Dowg is coming at me in another Minecraft episode from the Hermitcraft Server.

[@room5058]

He is rapidly approaching your location

[@Kiwimarauder]

Me too. Rens intro keeps popping into my head at random times ;D

[@Mismatched2]

@@room5058 wait what 💀

[@Anas-1220]

Me too!

[@swanily]

10:05 man, all the hermits getting sick-first Tango with the South African sausage throat and now Ren with a Tango infection. Get well soon!

[@TussockyBongo57]

At least the Tango infection didn't come with an amnesia cold

[@aulvinduergard9952]

Building the Scab Castle backwards is the most Scab Land thing you could've possibly done. XD

[@nickel2346]

I think the next thing on the docket is to take scar over to scab land and record his reaction.

[@herowither12354]

Scar would probably love it. It's like if a 3 year old drew Disneyland.

[@lyrai09]

Should add light grey stained glass to all doorways so that you can't fly through them :D

[@another_jt]

I'm pretty sure this is a Dadaist version of Scarland, Dadaism is often considered anti-art, and Scabland follows proudly in that tradition. A few notes: I'm pretty sure using the Gigachopper was faster than converting concrete manually and didn't wear out any tools. Also, I'm so happy you did much of the concrete powder in place, then converted it on-site!

[@phatphreelatte9328]

You should totally just leave the castle dark and make it its own mini game where you have to survive for as long as possible

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

But that's just Scarland... Scabland is the opposite so no mob farms xD

[@edwardscott3262]

The torches are perfect too because scar always hides his lighting well.

[@lomiification]

Clear the water out of the perimeter, and then set nighttime

[@phatphreelatte9328]

@@SnyperMK2000JclL fair point lol

[@IBRockeh]

I see rens still got the Tangoisms from secret life. Concretificate

[@scrapman502]

Scarland was supposed to be a safe place to visit, so the exact opposite would be a dangerous place to visit. Let the mobs spawn. Heck, name tag them and put a glass roof in the sky to protect them from burning in the daytime!

[@zarikomarcer739]

Please keep your chest monsters in Scabland.

[@Alice-vy6ei]

And just put signs over them putting something like "Perl Panic"

[@erdojan13]

no keep yours in scarland. Scar would not notice :P

[@iamerror6978]

the castle being backwards is so on brand

[@maxinethepirate8353]

Scab land sounds like an amazing artistic challenge actually. Your building skills probably largely improved after making a mega build as anti aesthetic as possible

[@Unreliablenarrator599]

I love the "Why have we done this?" followed by Scar's usual timelapse music

[@sebbes333]

*@rendog* 3:09 That's just PERFECTLY on-brand for Scab Land, keep it backwards :D

[@gamezx]

You should bring scar around for a tour of scabland, would be fun seeing his brain actually melt from the sight =P

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Man, the captions really like doing this when a hermit describe Scar being "artistic" lol 7:38

[@thenopequeen]

I don't know if he minds, but I don't

[@stickyboy8533]

The castle looks terrible and the scabland project has been a fantastic and weirdly exciting project to watch unravel. Also pumped for the grand prix! Between the tedium of scabland and the construction of the raceway, the grind has been nuts recently, so giant kudos for that.

[@TheColorCraftMC]

The Scabland castle being backwards is a work of pure genius. If you happen to find yourself in this vile land, then all your thoughts are on leaving to the beautiful world outside. Hence the entrance is the exit.

[@Sim-Peasant]

the castle being backwards is actualy rather accurate. the disney castle was actualy turned around due to Walt prefering the look if the back of the castle to the front of it. so i say keep it backwards

[@asokta]

0:18 to 0:24 was actually really impressive mouse movement. Almost exact 180 degrees into almost exact 90 degrees turn. I had to check the frames that it wasnt edited.

[@chrisbeasley5018]

Ren, a rule suggestion for the catch up mechanic. You can pass other racers with wings but you cannot pass the leader. If you pass the leader, you have to let that racer pass you back. Also, you have to cross the finish line in a boat, no wings.

[@iamsushi1056]

Ren could you mine a single 1-block hole randomly in the castle wall? That would drive everyone insane

[@rachelkubacki1642]

Ren: Revenge on the buttercups! Also Ren : Scar is amazing and Scarland castle 🏰 most beautiful build ever

[@derekmendoza5965]

Scabland castle Looks like a birthday cake with road flares as candles. 😂 23:10

[@vee24]

The Scabland castle looks unironically good when viewed from Doc's perimeter.

[@RespectUndead44]

You should totally talk to some other builders on the server like Pearl, Tango, and Grian and ask them what is their biggest pet peeve when it comes to building. What just makes them want to lean over and hurl? Then add that to Scab land. At the very least I think it would make for some entertaining interactions :D

[@grlth]

Ren, the warden is an old prank done to Scar near beginning of the season. He just didnt want to have to deal with it, so left it there.

[@therobster6809]

As a person with OCD, the paths need a few of the arrows randomly pointing in the wrong direction. Just a few pointing in another direction than the main direction.

[@GiulianoMazzina]

I can honestly say that I like your timelapse music more than other hermits. Its just so catchy. Also, you should make the people wrap around the castle to the backside to enter and make them exit right into the people queueing to enter.

[@Sim-Peasant]

minecraft : lets lower the spawn light level to 0 then people wont have to spam there torches. Ren: we dont want it to turn into a mob farm here lets just place 8 MILLION TORCHES in one tower .... o.O XD

[@ashtondoublet8334]

I think Scabland sorta enhances the Perimeter in a humorous way. It reminds me of a big archeological dig site like the Giza Necropolis or the ruins of Pompeii, and then just down the street there's a massive corporate city that just clashes with the themes. If you see what Im thinking.

[@inkygrimmananas4928]

this castle needs to be covered in just randomly placed windows that don't match, are all different sizes and styles and just create a giant window polka dot pattern

[@growingcrazy4481]

Everyone loves Scarland, but I think we all understand Scablands is a joke among friends and not Ren mocking Scarland. Scabland is such a fun idea and the castle looks great

[@Riuyilmistico]

Hey Ren, what about adding some firework rockets In between the normal ones? Just to add more thrill to the catch-up mechanic 😏

[@lightningleopard8877]

I love this! Also it was amazing to see you again in the life series again Ren! Hope we can see you in the next season

[@noaheagles3517]

yes 100% ren is my favorite player in the life series!

[@ion0057]

i love the use of scar's timelapse music for the scab-land castle

[@belatedmorning]

It's okay if ur castle doesn't make it up to the creations of the other hermits Ren, u shouldn't talk urself down. Vry proud of u and happy ur proud of it too, it looks as great as it is !

[@AncientDebra]

Loved how Scabland turned into a Scarland appreciation tour. Preach! 😍 Etho, at Jev's Beacon Opening: "When you look at it, does it make you happy, or does it make you angry?" Truth.

[@GothBoyUK]

The 'Grand Entrance' to the castle certainly reminds me of something else entirely. I fully expect Cleo to point it out. 🤣

[@barjunk2341]

Hey Ren! I think the rocket dispensers should be on a counter to ensure they benefit only those who are way behind in the race. Also moving the dispensers ahead a block could help prevent multiple from dispensing, which could be OP.

[@whisperinwind87]

likeing this to hope it gets seen, you must of also notice that with that setup second place is still considered behind and will get a rocket or two...

[@LetstalkDwarfism]

I can say with pure honesty that with how chaotic Scabland is, where nothing is symmetrical and everything is crazy, it looks amazing!!

[@antiroseandriteegaming]

i love how for the (first) timelapse the same music scar uses for his timelapses. it's such nice music

[@Bec-hb1ie]

During Jevins unveiling... makes us wonder... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUTTON!!!!

[@theloudtenor]

The fact that your castle is backwards makes Scabland Castle is closer to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Castle because it is built backward as well!

[@swordsdance1181]

Ren youre so wholesome, always saying so many good things about your fellow hermits!

[@83CapriGirl]

Super excited for the Grand Prix! I also think that the overwhelming need to "fix" anything in Scabland means you nailed it. It truly is a monstrosity of the most epic proportions, and you should be proud!

[@stevenhughes6545]

Putting the front of Scabland Castle in the back.. Genius! Fits right in with the idea behind Scabland.

[@Yirggzmb]

The color styling of the castle reminds me of the color block sweater I'm knitting to use to random odd balls. No texture, simple silhouette, pure solid colors. The most exciting part is when the old ball runs out and I get to change color.

[@thenopequeen]

Ren: I'm going to make Scabland to get revenge on Scar for the Buttercup war! Also Ren: Spent large chunks of this and most other Scabland episodes gushing about how talented Scar is and how beautiful Scarland is Kill him with kindness, I guess?

[@ashleyserraglio5548]

Ren, I know there have been people giving you a hard time about this project, but I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love it! There's something very inspiring about a builder as talented as yourself purposefully making something ugly and being proud of it that really speaks to me as a fellow creative. That not only is making mistakes on my creations okay, but I made something! Even if it's terrible, I made it, which makes it amazing anyway. Thanks for sticking with this Ren, it is much appreciated.

[@brujosol]

The way you called the raceway "B double R" made me think of Bdubs being an announcer, saying "This is B double O at the B double R ...". That's it, just a little bit of head canon that's now mine.

[@TaydolfSwifter]

Oh no hermits projects getting done one after another. Sounds like a new season is about to come

[@firetailnimm_2242]

Scabland is art, yes. It reminds me of the quote 'is this art, or can i throw it away' Scabland is amazing 👌

[@EricYTP]

Scab Castle being backwards with a wonky exit/entrance is so much in the spirit of ScabLand that I thought it was intentional before Ren pointed it out. I feel that any error in the construction of ScabLand just makes it that much more of a genuine experience and should be embraced! Well done, Ren!

[@Maund001]

When all of scabland is done you need to give scar the VIP treatment and let him know to visit, lol. 😂

[@BrancoVissers]

Love that you build the castle backwards makes it more in line with the opposite scarland. Also, LOVED that you used Scar's timelapse music😂

[@DonastriaLyons]

No what you forgot dear Ren is to get everything done for Rosie! Now we will NEVER know!

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Oh, you did it the wrong way, thats amazing lol I think the nether portal to there needs missing corners and a few failed portal making attempts around as well

[@liiset]

It actually is quite fitting the castle is backwards, adds to the chaos 😂

[@rerebird8282]

The scab land castle kinda matches the perimeter colors and i love it

[@greninjathefrog]

Hearing Scar’s timelapse music begin just cracks me up every time, I love it LMAO

[@chanellegranlund7890]

5:24 this Timelapse is extra fire 🔥 cinematically of course but something about the ambiance makes me wanna dance 😏

[@LunaBeth97]

Am I wrong in thinking that Scar really appreciates Minecraft rollercoasters? Itd be really quite funny if you had the time to create a surprisingly great rollercoaster to contrast with how scab land looks. Idk if scar is planning on building a rollercoaster or not but itd be funny if he's expecting an awful one but it turns out to be the best. It's a lot of work though so it doesn't really matter 😂

[@keyos4398]

Scar talked about 2 rollercoasters he wants to build

[@KitLikesWooper]

I have not been keeping up with your videos, I’ve been busy and I’ve let my mind get the best of me, but I’ve gotta say, hearing your voice in Secret life made me so happy. I haven’t watched this video, and I won’t until I catch up, but I want you to know that you make so many people’s days, you inspire so many people, and you make incredible content. I love your voice, I love your improv, I love your interactions with others. You deserve the world, Ren. I know this means nothing coming from a complete stranger, but I’m proud of you. ❤

[@tommygunns1800]

I find it sad that none of the other Hermits were willing to build a game in the park. Some of them just have a hard time focusing on one series or just give up on a series when another one catches their eye. I’m glad that Ren has stuck with it.

[@XaviusNight]

The horrors of this entire build are, conceptually, the funniest thing to me. I love it.

[@XaviusNight]

Also, if you ever do a multi-lap race, you could have the dispensers sometimes drop Cobwebs instead of rockets, to slow and foil people behind you.

[@za91848]

I think you should add an interior to the castle. A one and a half block tall corridor ending in a dead-end or near death drop into a hole with no exit would do

[@DoughnutDragon]

Scabland castle being backwards just adds to the jank of scabland. I love it.

[@sunnybee91]

*Insert the "Thanks! I hate it!" Meme here* But seriously, sometimes it's nice to see unpolished or weird builds. It's a nice change of pace.

[@loravura4782]

The super fast build mode music was a nice touch.

[@magentasunbringer]

love the messed up scar theme for the timelapse, maybe one of the next ones could be you yourself trying to play the song on something silly, like a recorder or kazoo? something akin to the vibe of that meme where My Heart Will Go On is played off-key and silly

[@soupysauce23251]

It’s a super funny project. I love it. Sometimes an artist needs to scribble a bit to find their next masterpiece!

[@teentraveler1790]

Scab castle _wool_ certainly be the _black sheep_ of the server. Good job Mr. Rendog

[@sethhayes7169]

Not only is it a shame that scab land finished for no final debut to other hermits, but we all can agree that scar land didn’t reach its potential. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both awesome! But either way, me and the community are satisfied with what we have, and I know that throughout what we’ve been through since the start of the season, we’ve all been very proud of what you and the other hermits have accomplished. Thank you for making these past few years been a roller coaster ride to remember, and we can’t wait for season 10 has in store for us!

[@aerinkaaerie5599]

Me hearing a Scars timelabs music: 😊 Me realised that its Rens video: 😮

[@madgruntilda]

Truly the scabiest castle I've ever seen! Well done 😂

[@tunir3010]

You're such a juggernaut. So many builds!!!

[@tekashto]

I can totally see foresee etho incorporating the rockets into his strat, like maybe purposefully staying in second to build up rockets for the final stretch

[@mrleigh19821]

Decked out castle and game is the greatest thing ever built in hermitcraft imo.

[@bitposhpub]

Scabland is like "Scar Land" if it was in "Tangotek Toon Towers" land of s7. I dig it :)

[@joshlongbottom2213]

Ren, I miss you in the life series so much! not only are your episodes fun and thrilling (the Red Army perspective is my favorite perspective of all the series), but you were such a PVP beast. You are, right now, tied for total kills with ETHO. who had been in ALL FIVE SERIES, you have been in TWO. you came in second already once. if you played all five, you probably would have won by now for real!

[@tenhensinapenc967]

I didn't even know this Castle was a thing when I saw the thumbnail for the video I thought you covered scar's Castle😂

[@shamhat8878]

Looking at Scabland gives me a feeling similar to that weird pressure you get in your skull just before a migraine comes on.

[@pesegolsson]

the castle being backwards is perfect, the archway though... don't think it is asymmetrical enough... punch away the lower left block(viewed from inside the castle) and you have perfection! 🤣 poor doc though who have to see that thing everytime he admire his gorgeous murals and see the castle peer over the rim of the perimeter! 😆edit: btw Ren, you don't need that many torches these days, one every 14-15 blocks are enough, mobs only spawn in light lvl 0!

[@S_Crystal9217]

Is it bad I actually think the place looks fine? It looks like a kid's colouring book, the roads look like it is going to suffer a rendering issue lol, the platforms sort of a mosaic. Wow!! Congratulations to Jevin for that beacon. Feels like there needs to be some grand ceremony for that.

[@aceofarthropods2597]

22:22 Don't you know? That's the security guard, they take care of anyone flying within the borders of Scarland...

[@liamholloway9022]

One lightning strike is all it takes ren! NOT THE WOOL CASTLE! Edit: I see now that it’s not just wool

[@channelknightfadran7901]

in Mariokart, we call it "Bagging"; I recommend you do what you can do avoid this with your rocket points. Basically, Bagging is when you intentionally lag behind just a little to get good items, then take a bunch of shortcuts and throw yourself into first. Now, you don't exactly have the equivalent of Superstars and The Ghost, so I doubt Bagging would be a legitimate strategy in BRR. If it *does* turn out that way, though, I think it'd be really cool if there were loops or rings in the air that you would have to fly through.

[@blakesoller9623]

The back entrance of the castle that leads in to scablands should just be a basic 1x2 door in the wall. Like a little but hole in the castle

[@coitcordery8501]

That'd be inappropriate. Just don't look too close to the flesh colored "Grand Entrance"...

[@edwardscott3262]

Charge to leave too so it's the opposite of scarland. Maybe use an iron door and sell red stone torches people need to get out.
