The RISE Of Hermitcraft - What PEAK Minecraft Looks Like...

Hermitcraft is arguably the most popular minecraft SMP at the moment, with dozens of unique and skilled individuals dedicating significant time to the server. But it wasn't always like this. In fact hermitcraft in 2012 was very different to what we see today...

Regarding being accessible to all audiences, there's a lot of humor in there that adults will laugh at but kids won't really understand. Nothing inappropriate of course, but only adults are going to fully appreciate things like Etho building a shop in the sky in order to commit tax evasion.

[@harayaalirak4040]

very true. I think that the hermit's all cater to a minecraft-loving community, but tend to lean more into certain age groups. Joe and Cleo's paying-armor-stand-as-rent antics would be more appreciated by older kids/adults and Grian and Iskall's "annoy mumbo at all costs" shenanigans can be loved more by younger kids. as for "inappropriate" of course...well, we have jevin and his sneaky little references from time to time xD

[@no.1fuzzwaldfan727]

Joe definitely comes to mind here. I'm 18 and still some of his references go over my head lol. But obviously considering most of the the hermits are in their 30s-40s and many have kids it doesn't surprise me that they are more able to appeal to a wider audience - they can relate to adults in terms of mature humour but have a great understanding of what makes something child-friendly as parents themselves.

honestly the introduction of Grian was such an amazing move. His antics and shenanigans have let to some of the most interesting content to date. I loosely followed HC in season 5, there was a shopping district, but all in all the hermits didn't interact very much. in season 6, Grian was responsible for multiple server-wide and even community wide events. Including: -Tag -HermitCraft Civil war -Demise -Hot potato -The prankening (from day fricking one he went around and pulled all sorts of stuff off camera) -Sahara -Alpha HC (the time machine incident) -Area 77 and the hippies -The great house war He actively went looking for people and came up with all sorts of skits in season 7 -Tag 2 Electric Boogaloo (always use the full name) -The prankening -The Mycelium resistance (no wait, that was Mumbo) -The Mayoral campaign you can see how the hermits started doing funny stuff as well -Hermit challenges -More mayoral campaigns -DECKED OUT! he has had such an amazing influence on everyone

[@waynejordan9817]

@@martjankoedam2204 No that was Mumbo

[@shanefm02]

I think another things is the variance in style from various members attracts different ages and demographics. Grian is well known to have a younger demographic with Scar and Iskall, and their content style reflects that with how they present their videos. Etho brings an older audience purely from how long he's been around and the fact that most of his fans including myself have reached adulthood after starting in my early teens. Beef, doc, and xisuma etc again bring older audiences based on their more mature content and non directly minecraft related content that reflects their age. All these groups coming together creates a massive pool of possible viewers for any video. I watch every etho and beef video, but I'll still watch random grian videos every once and a while, and I'm sure its the other way around too

[@alexhooper6625]

I most definitely watch every Mumbo and Grian video, and I'm 24. They're just so relaxed and funny, while also containing technical challenges that I can relax and enjoy them. I've been meaning to check out Xisuma and Etho lately because they seem to be more adult themed.

[@anonymous2181]

I was introduced to Hermitcraft in early 2013 by some crazy British 16 year old named Ollie, better known as Mumbo. Crazy to think how all these years later, the hermits are still the prime example of what Minecraft should be. Imo the thing that makes them so great is how they play Minecraft for the fun of it but also out of dedication to the game, not for the sake of making content like many other channels do/did. That's probably why we see them more than any other group being invited to Mojang's events and given a major voice in how development of the game should progress. Hermitcraft really is peak survival Minecraft

[@pvic6959]

I cant remember when I discovered it but mumbo was definitely one of the first people i watched. I had watched etho during the mindcrack days and when he joined too i become a hermitcraft fanboy lol. Etho and mumbo will always be my favorite minecrafters. the only downside is they cant upload everyday :(((

[@jasonreed7522]

I think i found Hermitcraft when i saw a recommendation for a Mumbo video showing his crazy sphere base at the end of season 6. And i had already gotten into Etho (i picked a world tour that wasn't too far back in time and used that as my start point, but i remember him flying by shooting himself with a punch bow, which thank god that we can just use rockets now). So for me season 7 was just epic, especially with Etho's monstrosity and the Shade-E-E's "prank shop". Grian pranks are very obvious like death looping scar (which couldn't have gone better if he scripted it) or Boat bombing big eyes. Etho pranks are i will individually name light grey glass panes so they won't stack and place them in various slots in all your containers until you go crazy figuring out what I've done. And then i will hide bee nests in your walls so you hear buzzing. One makes you laugh, on is insidious with long term dividends when a "free glass" dispenser gets installed at the point if greatest foot traffic. (The shopping district portal) But what makes them great is how they are all good people who just want to have fun and will gladly help clean up their mess. (Or accept retribution)

[@mr.dawson9141]

I've been on and off following hermitcraft since somewhere around season 3. and in my eye's the server's lowest point and the closest it came to death was late season 5. by the later parts of season 5 over half of the whitelist had gone pretty inactive and most videos basically felt like singleplayer. the way season 6 was done coupled with minecraft's resurgence saved the server tho

[@georgecatton]

[@Lyarrah]

@@polarey_ this is exactly it in my opinion. season 5 everyone was SUPER spread out and barely interacted. Minecraft itself was also floundering in popularity, so I think that had a lot of members thinking they were at the end of the line. So only those who would have been proficient at single player series anyway, but didn't have one to fall back on, stuck around and stayed consistent through the end of Season 5... and people don't watch Hermitcraft, or SMPs in general, to see someone play alone. I'm glad they're sticking closer together now.

[@everythinghuman6978]

Man it's insane that mrbeast watched Etho. Etho was the reason I wanted a PC to play minecraft way back when you couldnt run and there was no hunger. When he made that subscriber special with the firework launchers and the og TNT cannons I thought it was so cool and insane. Man what a throwback.

Ya, his vids are awesome

[@AlfredEiji]

Keeping “kid-friendly” and selling relationships were definitely important. The former allowed them to avoid suppression and even benefit from the KZbin algorithm. The latter is simply the best form of consistent content for viewers. Loneliness is pervasive, and living through and investing in someone else’s relationships can be quite compelling.

[@MollymaukT]

The latter also helps with the algorithm in some cases. Like Mumbo and Grian are the two biggest channels in the server by far and I'm pretty sure 95% of their subs intersect cause they're really a package deal with all the collabs in and out of Hermitcraft. Same with ZombieCleo and JoeHills

[@jasonreed7522]

@@MollymaukT exactly And then the Hermitcraft recap really synergizes well with them even though it is just a fan project. A quick bit about everyone with jokes thrown in definitely helps mix around the viewers. Grian, Mumbo, and scar all have over 8million subs now so when some of them see the recap they may decide to check out Tango to see HTF he made decked out or etho because the Monstrosity is such a unique build. And of course its kinda ironic the server built on natural player interactions (like grian getting build burn out and just AFKing at peoples base to see what they do) is named HERMITcraft.

He's a super genuine guy and usually very funny, well worth watching if you like a stream-of-consciousness "vloggy" style of LP. His UHC perspectives are always great fun as well.

Guude's twitch is still going strong he's does not post a lot of stuff to youtube because it does not get monetized anymore.

I think that Grian saved Hermitcraft. His videos brought new people to Hermitcraft and peaked the interest but Grian is always up to something. Grian is always interacting with the other Hermits through pranks, wars, mayoral run etc. Grian changed how Hermitcraft worked. Before Grian there wasn't anything like that.

It's weird for me. I found Hermitcraft in 2014 on Mumbo's channel because I was looking for Minecraft redstone tutorials. Then I seen Hermitcraft and thought it was a fun watch. But due to getting busy in college, I didn't keep watching. Fast forward to Season 6 of Hermitcraft, I was looking at minecraft videos again and remembered the named Hermitcraft and looked it up, I found Grian's channel and he was on episode 3 in the season. I got hooked and started watching the episodes regularly. Now I'm tempted to go back and watch the older seasons on Mumbo's and Doc's channels.

Tango will not dupe TNT. False said she wouldn’t, but had a really big hole to dig, so did. Mumbo has no problems with a TNT duper. But you can be sure that they’d never dupe things that would give them some real unfair advantage, such as diamonds or items to sell.

@@Maxmilion6004 Mmm, this is just my opinion but I kinda disagree. Recently I think it's Grian who's most dry. I love his shenanigans with the other hermits, but recently I've felt like the pace of his videos seem very rushed (but I suppose it makes sense since he's busy with his wedding irl). Mumbo is also great in his own way, but he talks too fast for me to understand his accent. I love Iskall the most because of his humor and how his videos are a little more laid-back and project-focused. Hermitcraft doesn't have to be hectic and full of collabs to be enjoyable-i like it just as much watching them finish a build/redstone project over time But I agree with you about the collab part. I think if you boil down a lot of collabs with hermits who don't interact as much it can be boiled down to "we discussed things off-camera and we'll just explain our plans to the viewers" and then a timelapse. Which, frankly, gets boring because I actually want to hear their thought processes when making a project together. I prefer their collabs to be "show not tell".

ahh man, I remember watching X and Mumbo back in Season 2, good days, but in my opinion, the greatest thing that happened for the hermitcraft server was Grian joining in Season 6. He brought so many things which were missing from the older seasons and he also boosted its popularity bringing his HUUGE fanbase to the series.

I first began watching Hermitcraft with Mumbo. Used to only occasionally consult his redstone tutorials but soon learned the tricks myself but found that he was more than just redstone. I jumped in mid season 2, watched the old videos back and got hooked. I still remember the start of season 3 like it was just a week ago. After Mumbo I also watched Xisuma, Tango, Impulse, Iskall, Stress, Grian (way before he joined HC) and False. I remember so many of their builds and confuse them between seasons. The Ice Queen, Plastic Island with Bumbo, the swamp, the drone, ...

@@retardthebread634 I think it's because of the rules. I think most of them atleast have basic knowledge of redstone but they use it for griefing each other instead. They aren't allowed to build farms or do alot of other things Hermitcraft has because of Dream says it'd make them progress to quickly. Unlike Hermitcraft, barely anyone in the SMP is interested or is good in building- so if they progress to quickly with farms (e.g. Dream not allowing Tubbo's Iron Golem farm and slaughtering his villagers on the trading hall), they'd have nothing to do in the SMP. I agree with Hermitcraft being more interesting than the Dream SMP, but I have to give credit to the fact that the people in the Dream SMP still make it interesting despite the limitations.

Grian is amazing. Even though I wasn't there for Hermitcraft's earlier seasons, Grian is the ONLY reason I discovered Hermitcraft.

Its only been a few years, but looking back at it its already somewhat nostalgic.

I love Hermitcraft, and it will always be one of, if not my favorite Minecraft series.

Lets all admit that grian was the turing point in hermitcraft. And then the mumbo-grian combo made it skyrocket.

[@MollymaukT]

In his 1000th episode Xisuma says that Grian joining was the missing piece in Hermitcraft. And in S6 it really showed, Grian totally owned that season

[@jasonreed7522]

Grian was the chaos gremlin the server needed to really stir the pot and encurage player interactions. Instead of everyone being hermits hiding away at their bases suddenly someone forced them all into a game of tag that requires them to hunt eachother down, punch eachother and give the tag to the next victim. I think when they got the proximity chat was another leap forwards in the player interactions department as now you don't have to do anything to talk to someone you just bumped into in the shopping district or, you can very quietly sneak up on someone and yell Boo at them. (I think this scared the crap out of tango in season 7, that was a great moment) No more need to get discord going and worry about sound balance just to say hi real quick.

[@DiamondDepthYT]

YASSS! Knew this was coming! :)

[@bitzbyte5880]

One of the things I didn't notice until I went back and watched the Season 6 again was that Grian's introduction did one more thing rather than just boost the people viewing the server. He was also the one to get Tag up and running, the Civil war, and in Season 7, the Mycelium resistance. These overarching stories are really entertaining to watch and the fact that a ton of people join in and get to spoof off of it is amazing to see.

[@rcoderdev]

Rewatching this for Season 8 which started a month ago. Season 8 is a single continent wherein starter bases are as close to another or multiple hermits, implemented the use of Proximity Mod, more custom items thru data packs (i.e. Scar's giant hat, BDubs' custom frames that came from S7, Iskall's No Wings Club medals, etc...), and custom commands. Plus the introduction of GeminiTay and PearlescentMoon as Hermits. And an ARG: The Hermatrix, featuring Docm77 and Rendog as main characters.

Maybe some older members can return. Most well known mincraft youtubers are, as far as I know, already on Hermitcraft or another SMP and unlikely to leave that one. Others, like ibxtoycat won't fit within the concept of Hermitcraft. Maybe they can get people like Biffa to return. Someone like fwhip could also be reasonably interesting to at least take a look at.

The best way to find your next hermit to keep up with is the Hermitcraft recap, by giving just a clip and a joke for everyone they really help you get a sense for who does what and whats going on across the server because we can't all watch everyone because of time constraints. But my personal #1 watch as soon as i can is Etho, his videos just never disappoint. But my second main one is grian and his shenanigans as he gets around the server to most of the hermits. I know Grian + Mumbo is a very iconic duo but i hope they base a little farther apart this season (9) just to spread out the interactions to the rest of the hermits. (Maybe grian can pillage Tango's industrial district for once) I also would love some sort of Collab where etho builds a floating interior again and then grian or scar gives it an exterior.

Think they might add him on Season 8 since Biffa left and Jessassin said he wasn't interested in doing another vanilla season.

[@lordruggedrock]

As someone who's watched Hermitcraft from Season 1 (Tea Drinkers!) and watched a ton of Mindcrack, I always felt the reason that Hermitcraft succeeded was because the players were Minecrafters, not Gamers. If you looks at biggest Mindcrackers, they were gamers who happened to be playing Minecraft at that point. Most of them are doing well on Twitch still, but are playing different games. That is the nature of Gamers (no insult intended); they like variety and like to switch up what play all the time. The thing about the Hermits is, they all seem to have that Minecraft stamina. They aren't a bunch of teens who play videogames. A lot of them are adults who came from jobs like computer programming and the such. It takes a special kind of creative stamina to be a Minecrafter long term, and most of the Hermits fit the bill. I wonder, if one were to do a poll of those who watch Hermnitcraft, how many fans would consider themselves gamers. I think it would be a low percentage. Much lower than your typical Twitch livestream fanbase.

[@BlueCyann]

I think you're right. Hermitcraft persists in large part because just enough of the membership truly loves Minecraft and has enough of a creative drive to make the grind worth it to them.

[@Masterge77]

Almost all of the Hermits are veteran players, which is what caused Mindcrack to ultimately die off, since most of them only played Minecraft because it was the trendy game to play at the time, while the Hermits are people who have been playing the game for years.

I was introduced to Hermitcraft Season 6 through Grian, and found out Mumbo was on the server as well.
