Why is season 2 of Hermitcraft always called season 1? I remember Season 1 with Biffa and GenerikB (probably others but I never watched anyone else back then), and then they stopped it for after a few episodes for whatever reason, after that real season 1 started. It was like a season 0.

[@danielbrown8556]

world crashed, I think bc of squid or something lmao

[@JosephRooks]

That was a world corruption issue. From TPIM's history post on the subreddit: The very first server was set up using Bukkit with a spawn point near a village on water. Genny removed Bukkit after moving spawn and flying around to pre-generate chunks, which caused massive chunk corruption. The server was wiped and restarted almost immediately with the same seed. About the only things to occur on this very first world were elevating the village onto stilts, Biffa taming an ocelot, and Hypno and red3yz making a mob farm out of multiple spawners in a mineshaft. Over the next 2-3 episodes the Hermits started building bases and claiming territory. Kiershar got most of the way through building an enormous mob farm. Cubedhost then lost the entire world during routine maintenance, forcing them to start over yet again. This restart largely broke Kiershar, who returned very little following the reset. The third start was on the seed "4" and would be the final restart.

You know what? I replied to a bunch of comments, saying that I hope friendship can win out and GenerikB could be invited back to the server. But then I watched a stream of his from the other day, just after this one. Someone asked if he was still making content for KZbin. He and the rest of the chat shit all over the person who asked, completely dismissing him and not answering his question. Then someone brought up this stream here, and mentioned that they didn't know GenerikB was the founder. Once again, he shut down discussion and told people not to talk about Hermitcraft or BDubs (even though he said they were still friends). I stopped watching when someone asked about the B-Team and mentioned that he missed GenerikB's videos, and he gave the absolute shittiest, dismissive, ageist, and rudest answer he could possibly give, telling the person who asked that they're young and dumb and don't know anything about like. He said that over the last 2 years, he's been happier than he's ever been. All I saw was him being a miserable, offensive asshole to his audience. I don't know. Maybe he's better forgotten. Maybe it's better he isn't really a part of the community. I used to like his content, but now I'm disgusted. If he's happy, great, but if being a miserable prick is his definition of happiness, maybe it's best that he fade from the spotlight and keep his toxicity away from the rest of the community.

King of the ladder, King of the boat, Team Canada, Abba caving with beef and friends, B team shenanigans, Orange Wool!, Docm's legendary witch farm, I could go on for awhile probably. But when I started to watch Hermitcraft around season 4 or 5, it brought me back to that sense of community I used to feel as a fan back in the day (god I feel old saying that) so thanks to the hermits for everything they do, and to the old mindcrakers thanks for giving me some of the most fond memories of my childhood.

Then the giant nether tunnel, the different sections and views were so awesome to see!

​@@BlockedUser420 He tried to rejoin a couple of years back, I believe it was around when Bdubs joined. From what I heard back then it wasn't a majority but a few that opposed and for someone to join it has to be unanimous. Genny posted on Reddit as the time he was disappointed but it was what it was. I'd still love to see him back as unlikely as it is, Genny is such an entertaining character. Him and Bdubs is alway great. I've been watching Genny's season 1 of Hermitcraft recently is so good, he so different to anyone else. I'd love to see him and JoeHills, X or Keralis do something again or with the old Mindcrackers or even Mumbo or Grain I think would be entertaining. It won't happen but it would be nice if it did. By all account Genny isn't interested anymore in rejoining, he streams on Twitch and ishappy with what he has going on there now

@@BlockedUser420 Hearing Mindcrack referred to as "a server he thought would be more successful" is wild to me (not in a bothered way, of course).

[@Zeberence]

I want to see him back so bad. If only for the B-Team content, and to hear Bdubs and Genny have a good, genuine damn laugh together. Whoever is opposing him rejoining should let bygones be bygones. He's a dedicated content creator (on Twitch, which is fine, it's a better platform for him). He has a genuine tie to the server, and sure he left to join Mindcrack, but if anyone actually bothered to remember, Mindcrack had some of the biggest names in the Minecraft community on it. It was the mother of all servers. Genny couldn't have seen what was going to come of either server at the time, and made the decision 90% of us would have made. In the end it's not about how we feel, it's how the Hermits feel. MindCrack made some super questionable member additions close to the end (as well as Guudes shady contract stuff) and completely imploded itself. So I see why they are being careful. Still though, I'd pay good money to see Bteam back in town, harassing Etho and making quality cowboy films.

You and everyone else. But adding new members has to be a unanimous vote by the other hermits. I think there was talk during/prior to season 6, but he was told no, possibly because he wasn't playing Minecraft at the time. Now that he seems to be streaming a lot, I hope that is a choice that can be reconsidered. EDIT: I take that back. I watched a part of a stream he did the other day, and saw him repeatedly jump on people and act like a complete piece of shit. All I saw was a bitter old man basically telling his own fans to fuck off. We don't need that kind of negativity on KZbin or on this server, and that hurts to say. I'd love for everyone to put the past behind them, but if that is how he acts to people asking genuine questions, he should keep doing what's he's doing instead of raining on everyone else's parade.

I’ve been watching hermitcraft since season 2 and I’ve loved every second of it. You guys are amazing, thanks

[@burningglory2373]

Wow. You mentioned mumbo being like 14 when he did geomine I remember that thinking he was so cool, and not to say he isn't a great guy, still watch him, but it has finally hit me that he is only like 4-5 years older than me. Wow really though of him older than that. Maybe age gap is more real when you are younger.

[@fizznaps1739]

I miss Biffa. I have fond memories watching you two at his stronghold base. I also greatly miss GenerikB. I also wish we had monthly UHC or something with the hermits. We are missing the friendly PVP. Thanks for sharing, X.

Weird to think that it’s been like 8 years since hermit craft began and I have been watching for 7 of those 8 years I remember the times with generikb creating complex traps so that people couldn’t enter his base loved s1.

I’ve been a viewer for quite a while, I remember watching mumbo in his jungle base in season 2, sl1p on the ribbon, monkeyfarm’s skull, dmac’s intro. Its all so neat to remember. I love when each new season starts because you guys always revisit the past, and it feels like I’ve been a part of it because I “was there” when it happened. You guys will always have a special spot in my heart, and I hope you guys play for years to come.

I remember watching Hermitcraft back when GenerikB was still in the server but then I stopped after he left. I didn't start watching continuously until I got hooked onto season 4 episodes and then with the whole NHO thing in season 5, I got really into it, especially since Etho was involved in all that (though as many Etho fans were, I was sad that he stopped his episodes early). Of course, probably like many others, season 6 got me really watching the other hermits regularly. People like Iskall I watched for their own series, but the whole feeling of community in season 6 really made me want to see more of other people's perspectives. It was like watching a Marvel movie or something where you see stuff that you recognise from other stuff and when Hermits get together for a video or an event, you just get really excited like it's the Avengers coming together. It seems like having Grian join just showed what Hermitcraft can really be and I'm looking forward to more of that stuff in season 7 :))

[@RonDe675]

The minecraft song in the background really fits this video

[@tclards4349]

minecraft itself has become such a cultural phenomenon but i would say, completely in its own right and on its own two feet, hermitcraft has become an absolutely amazing and unique thing. absolute gold has been captured. the dynamic and personality between all the hermits, and their creativity and dedication has really helped form something special. i started with mumbo in season 6, and quickly started watching multiple hermits (iskall, mumbo, grian, scar, ren, tango, doc, python and etc). ended up working my way back through season 5 and even 4 on several hermits as well. Thank you xisuma and everyone else on the team. the content is great and i completely share in the sentiment of "where can it go from here" and the excitement along with it.

[@fVNzO]

Does anyone still remember topmass from season 1. He was one of my favorites. If you go back and watch the videos they were really ahead of their time. Slick editing and a great commentator. Contrast that to xisumas first hermitcraft episode:)

[@bigtony7512]

Me and my friends are avid viewers of Hermitcraft and we made our own little realm called ‘TheLads’. It’s only five people playing Minecraft Bedrock edition but it’s a nice community. Thank you a lot for inspiring us!!

[@DiamondDoozer]

We used hermitcraft as a guide for starting our own KZbin minecraft server. It's great to hear that the history of hermitcraft started out just as humble! You guys (and gals) rock! Btw, could you do an episode for server owners showing how to optimize a 1.15 server . Hermitcraft is always do..lag free... and it makes me wonder what we are doing wrong.

[@mainstreamer4647]

He made a video about pregenerating a world on his 2nd channel for making a server lag free at the beginning

[@ninjashuriken]

Also make sure you don't cheap out! On the hardware side of things get the highest clock speed(the highest GHz ) CPU also make sure to get at least 3 GB of ram for 4 players and a few plugins/datapacks something I was not doing also pre genarate the world to certain extent as said before

[@DiamondDoozer]

We signed up with shockbyte and have a 12Gb server. But we are running straight vanilla with some hermitcraft datapacks. He had mentioned awhile ago that there were some things running in the background that helped keep game lag free, but never said which ones lol

[@ninjashuriken]

@@DiamondDoozer um so shockbyte CPUs seem to be good and 12GB should be enough(it depends on world size but as you are running vanilla 12GB should be more than enough) just pre genarate the world and also try seeing the TPS (/memory in vanilla I think) also make sure not to put too many datapacks they even cause more lag than plugins. Also maybe think about moving to Spigot/PaperMC(NOT bukkit) it provides a significant performance boost and it is as easy as it can ever be.

[@joshuarosen6242]

X made a video very recently when he explained a fairly simple way he has recently used to improve the performance of the Hermitcraft server which mostly centred around Lithium and Fabric.

[@ScooterinAB]

Same. Now that he's come to peace with Minecraft (he did want to take a break) and has been streaming it for a while, I'd like to see him back. I'm hoping that his request was declined because he wasn't really playing Minecraft at the time, and thus it can be reconsidered. EDIT: I just watched part of a stream from the other day. He hates Hermitcraft and has no interest in ever returning to the server, and acted appallingly negative when the topic came up. All I saw was a miserable, dismissive asshole hung up on drama and being belligerent to anyone who even mentioned anything close to it.

I think everything should come full circle and you should let Generik back on the server. To be fair to him, he did create Hermitcraft and none of you would be here if he hadn’t. I’m not blaming it on you Xisuma, but it’s a shame really.

"Mindcrack inspired us all" the sole reason Hermitcraft was started by GenniB and when he got to actually play with the mindcrack, he now gets shit for switching and isnt allowed back?

[@traj07]

It's sad, he started Hermitcraft because he wasn't allowed in mindcrack. Now he's not allowed back into the server that's named after him.

[@ScooterinAB]

It's possible that he wasn't allowed back in because he wasn't playing Minecraft anymore when he brought it up. I do hope that people can put anything that is going on behind them. I don't think Genny wants to be the boss again. I think he just wants to play with his friends and be a part of what he started again. EDIT: On second thought, no. I watched part of one of his streams from the other day. All I saw was a bitter old man who lashed out and anyone who brought up KZbin, Hermitcraft, or anything else he didn't like. I saw a man I really enjoyed act like a complete asshole to people asking genuine questions, and someone who treated fans of his like garbage because he has a chip on his shoulder. He said he doesn't wants to be a part of Hermitcraft anymore, and given his negative behaviour in that stream, I don't think he should.

[@madeleineruusu]

​@@ScooterinAB I heard there was a big discourse about it some years ago, mostly on the Hermitcraft subreddit. In the end Genny replied to a thread and said something along the lines of "I'd like to join Hermitcraft again, but in the end it's the hermits decision". I could try find it a link to the post if you're interested. But the whole Genny and Hermitcraft thing has been talked about and is over now. And from what you said, it should stay over. He started Hermitcraft, but it has evolved since then.

Everyday I watch more hermitcraft it gets me thinking. If I did play what could I do? Would I rush to get items or would I just strip mine the map. Would I make an ark machine to do that? So many thought just no way to play but it is life. Thank you for being awesome and bring people together to just show how great co-op can be.
