Gem having a goal of finding a village and protecting it and then proceeding to steal the villager's bed cracked me up 😂

Gem destroying the trail ruins she found will make Pixlriffs blow his top in anger. 😂

fun fact: the loot tables for suspicious sand and gravel are actually different depending on where they are located. in desert temples you might find more gems, but in trail you might find more homestead items

I went a whole 2 years without watching Gem and I feel so bad because I kinda forgot about her🥺I had introduced all my friends to her and one of them came up to me on a text message and told me Gem had started a new hardcore world so of course I HAD to come and see it, gosh, it feels so good to be back☺️

You're by far one of my favourite people to watch. Your videos are so calm, yet spontaneous and sometimes chaotic. It's a perfect balance, I can't wait to see where this series goes.

[@Gatsuuga16]

GeminiTay: Calm, Spontaneous, Chaotic. Yup. when the giggle that she makes when shes finished building a pink cottage sounds the same as the giggle when she is setting up a diabolical prank...She is the definition of Unhinged Wholesomeness. And i will forever be here for it!

I like how everyone else is hyped for treasure and all then we've got Gem overly ecstatic for Cherry blossom trees ... I know the feeling I'm more excited for a new tree as well.

[@Dandygirl_94]

The trees were basically the first thing I looked for 😅 the second is the sniffer eggs because even if the flowers are useless, they're still kind of cool. The third is going to be the camel.

[@juliarust4909]

It was the very first thing I did, I went looking for cherry blossoms, then went and found Sniffer eggs to get the beautiful torchflowers!

[@chrissytourniercroft7858]

When the tree's were added I was like wait I gotta build with it.

[@eliana9800]

LOVED this first episode. very nice and nostalgic. I might start a new world myself to see what happens! Also, side note, Stripped mangrove logs look really good with the new Cherry blossom planks! Can't wait to see this new series!!

[@MediocrePotato]

Im so glad that you started a new series in the summer, I couldnt watch much of the recent Empires SMP or Hermitcraft 9 because I was super busy with school. Thank you for making this new series, it made my day. I also am 13 and my parents don't want to buy a new console so I am still stuck on the Aquatic update with my PS3.

Hey Gem just wanna make sure you know that those archeology structures you found you are meant to leave the blocks and dig up the gravel then they will look like decaying buildings. Also I hope you and winne are safe from the wildfires but otherwise great vid glad to see you in hardcore again

[@amethystnight5055]

It kind of annoyed me when she immediately started breaking the terracotta. To me, the best part is seeing the remnants of the building.

[@DragonLadyGrace2700]

@AmethystNight Omg that annoyed me to no end as well! As a history buff, it really makes me mad seeing historical structures get destroyed. Pixlriffs might give Gem a piece of his mind, I feel like.

[@ambriasaunders1869]

Everyone has different play styles. As long as the person playing is having fun, I don't see an issue. I don't think you're "supposed" to bring an Ender dragon into the Overworld, but Doc did. 🤷🏼

I'm so in love with the cherry wood. It's so fun to see someone else just as excited. Your starter house turned out so unbelievably adorable. Also, those geodes are so awesome!!! And man, tridents are no joke. I've died many a time in early game to sudden trident attacks. Never underestimate them. Those archaeology remnants are actually enormous underground. I spent a few hours excavating and packing up one and got several stacks of bricks as well as packed mud blocks. A very nice resource to find.

[@JosefDerKaiser]

27:31 I know Im years late in commenting this. Here"s a tip for everyonr to make your building better and have more fun playing, "if you leave things broken, more stuff breaks around them' this goes for having messy things too. If gem left this to do for another day, it may have never gotten done (if she was playing single player). If you find yourself having big ugly messes in your game, it may pay to clean up as you go. Terraforming is of course a huge part of that.

Hello Gem! I just wanted to make sure you and winnie are staying safe from those wildfires. Knowing how bad the air quality is in the US, i don't know how bad it would be in canada. I realy love your videos and you have gotten me through hard times. Thank you for eveything you do! Also, if i want to share fanart with you, how do i do that?

@Luis Suazo ty for telling me :)

[@monicatruong1223]

⁠@Luis Suazo not in summer it’ll get up to +30°C at least here in the prairies it can get even hotter in other parts

[@theawecat27]

the reason the air quality is so bad is because of forest fires in canada, the smoke is just blowing down over the border. i don't know where the forest fires are exactly though so it's possible canada is affected less. btw, the forest fires are only on the east coast, if gem is anywhere near here on the west coast there is no smoke to be seen ;)

[@theawecat27]

​@@luissuazo3684 i don't know if canada has any better policies on fire control than the us, most of the recent ones i've heard of have been in canada or on the border. true the colder air might help with the smoke a bit

[@xstudent4890]

@@luissuazo3684 Actually we have pretty lousy fire control, that's why Alberta just had to bring in over 200 South African firefighters to help. Poor forest management, poor logging practices (removing and not planting more native, fire retardant trees) added to climate change is making it rough. Oh and we retired the two huge water bombers we had back in 2008 and 2013, and opted with helicopter use instead, which is much inferior. Luckily for Gem, I believe she's in Newfoundland(?) which is not particularly affected by the fires and smoke yet.
