Transforming Grian's HermitCraft Base - Finishing Boatem Ep. 1

[@ThaMango1]

I just made a Discord Server, make sure to join it to chat with other viewers, or to showcase your work / get feedback! I'll be accepting viewer bases soon to have their bases transformed in future videos, make sure to join so you don't miss out on that when it happens :) discord.gg/Hsn4wZYB

[@wolfofdawn4053]

I love how much respect you show for the hermits. You don't understate anything they did and instead, focus on making the builds grander in a way that frankly you would struggle to do in survival anyways.

[@jessiegamer355]

Yess

[@pkdesuwu]

hey nice profile picture

[@Classic98Intro]

actually it's very possible in survival. only if those 1000 days hardcore youtubers cared to make something truly beautiful rather than a monument made of netherite blocks to show off the fact that they've got no life

[@jessiegamer355]

@@pkdesuwu me? Well ty. I like yours too

[@MrZacOFC]

@@Classic98Intro yeah it is possible they never said it was impossible

[@whiteTrash34]

I'll admit I had my doubts about the concept of "Fixing bases", but right away it's evident that you're incredibly respectful of the original builds and builders, and your art is a work of love!! All your add-ons and ideas tirned out super cute and fit perfectly into the bases original concept. I'm stoked to see more!!

[@savageraccoon787]

Well its transforming bases

[@bavish8]

You should fill Mumbo's diamond hourglass with copper, just like he did, or at least tried to do🤣

[@ThaMango1]

Great idea! I'll make sure to do that :)

[@RedDragon91]

I just wanted to say how nice it is that you respect what a personal build scar land was for scar and that being your reason for not touching it without permission

[@edwardwhite6482]

That idea of copying the lobby of the Grians Gotts bank and putting it underneath to create a mirroring effect was so sick!

[@giannimorgan6621]

Literally lol. I’ve actually never considered doing that. It’s genius.

[@PatrickHemmes]

Ive seen it been done before, but totally forgot about it, and it looks so sick in a room like that.

[@rhorykingdom1211]

its a really cool detail that i love cause the only other time ive seen it done is from giran on his minecraft server wynncraft in the first citys castle. It feels like an extra little detail tying it back to grian!

[@PatrickHemmes]

There was this minecraft live simulator in my country and the builders of that server did it a few times too.@@rhorykingdom1211

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

That's actually a technique a lot of older 3d games would use to emulate a reflection. Nowadays, computers are powerful enough to create actual reflections.

[@ThaMango1]

1,000 likes for Part 2 :) Sorry that the video is a lot longer than usual... I ended up building way too much

[@Da-choppa]

Longer is better my man! Getting see more of these *g l o r i o u s* builds is a pleasure!

[@kalebbeaumont]

Long is good!

[@luckyteapot]

I really like the longer vids Keep up the good work Love grom germany❤

[@Assassinboy3000]

longer videos are better as long as it doesnt reduce the quality

[@NickAndriadze]

Why are you apologising about the length of the video? It's all the better that it is this long!

[@dactel]

Thank you for *not * building over Scar Land without his permission. Scar Land was a passion project and dedication to Jellie from Scar, and (imo) no true fan of Scar would ever want to change it.

[@dorothythelunchboxthief142]

It’s actually amazingly considerate of you to not transform scarland without scars permission, incredibly thoughtful.

[@da_bp]

19:53 idk if it was intentional or not but that looks like a grian head lol really shows how much care is put into this build and to build it like the orginal builders would do it

[@sglenny001]

It does

[@overpower3382]

This is absolutely amazing. I really hope to see the whole area completely tied together. Seeing how popular Hermitcraft is, I really do think this series will completely transform your channel, and bring you many new subscribers. I'm excited to see what you do next with Scar's area!

[@BeaSolar]

I was never that interested in seeing different creators finish builds from smps that ended, but the way you did here really hooked me in, it's not just you being respectful (as awesome as that is) but the builds crearly come from a perspective of love and your own building style doesn't clash with the original but is also distinctve enough to feel exactly how it should feel, you know! Good job man

[@Oliq_]

season 8 was a REALLY good season, and you just made it even BETTER!!!

[@fridyaliii]

i love throughout this it only seems like you're taking the original ideas and simply expanding on them without taking away from the original build, making them blend more seamlessly and seem higher developed with more purpose and reasoning that i'm sure Grian would've done as well if s7 wasn't so rushed, especially towards the end and if he had the time and resources to do so without pressure of making videos not only build focused, honestly what you've done is amazing and really tells a story

[@overbeb]

It also helps that he's able to play in creative mode with mods to aid in building and terraforming. What the Hermits can accomplish all in functional vanilla survival is incredible.

[@superfastscyphozoa]

I’m actually so blown away by this! I especially love the library that looks like it extends infinitely into the ground, the changes to the ceiling that make it look like an actual night sky seen through holes in the cave, and the train station connecting to the alley. Really impressive stuff!

[@alexandregodinho5436]

I loved the train station and the incredible terraforming, both inside and outside the mountain. I must admit that the idea of ​​reworking the base of such talented builders seemed almost impossible, but you did an excellent job, both having a good balance between new constructions, incorporating unfinished ideas from previous hermits and adding your own twist to the bases. Keep up the great work!

[@galksig197]

Late to the video however a couple of suggestions! 1. Completely delete the slime farm under the village and expand on complex / corporation looking rooms inside of the boatem hole. 2. more of a reminder but scar wanted to make clouds on top and around his mountains with a ton of buildings and flying ships around em. (If you don't believe me just re watch the episodes since I do not remember which one it was. 3. Mix some smaller boulders tree's or buildings from different areas, such as touches of copper vehicles on the mountain and small pipes from impulses factory or even Mumbos little houses. 4. So it might seem slightly mean but perhaps try expanding the mountains over cubs biome and around impulses factory. 5. if you'd like to build something over the boatem hole, try making a flying corporate building that is held up by various steampunky balloons, roots, pipes maybe even magic? I hope I helped and I'd get into the video lol. Wish you a good day or evening ! EDIT : (Make a ton or a couple of boats in the water surrounding boatem. ESPECIALLY in the little lagoon under grians and mumbos mountain connection)

[@Faroshkas]

It could be held up by the power of the moon

[@hwalnut7202]

Also I feel like raising the G train onto the big bridge had the side effect of covering up all the cool building from the ground perspective of the starter house

[@onionarmpit]

watching you build the back of the mountain made me realize how daunting that would be to do in survival, i can see why grian put it off 😭 Also making the floor transparent with an upside down copy thing is so smart and looks great

[@Twi3d15]

You could do some kind of tribute to TFC or finish TFC's tower as it's just next to boatem (The ocean square between Grian and Pearl) It'd be lovely to see his tower get finished, maybe using his s6 unfinished tower as a starting point? I'm looking forward to seeing this series its got so much potential! :D

[@DJPastaYaY]

Great video. I suggestion I have is for Mumbo's base. If you've seen his video about a geologist vs hermitcraft, the geologist says there needs to be some water source behild the mountain for the waterfall to be realistic. So I think it would be pretty cool to add that to Mumbo's base.

[@t.m.3022]

Wow this is utterly incredible. It really puts into perspective how amazing it is for the hermits to make such builds without the use of creative, and your transformations are enhancements on builds that are already amazing. Your attention to detail and dedication is admirable!

[@crimsonashes603]

This build is amazing and I look forward to future episodes. But I would also just like to say how amazing it is that you brought up how you wouldn't edit Scarland without his express permission, as I don't know too many creators that would have that much awareness and it was just really nice to see.

[@gauthamarun3878]

Nice job, I love how you kept the atmosphere of the alley and added on to it. Looks exactly like what Grian would have done if he had more time. I have an idea for one of your future videos on Boatem. Impule's base always felt a little disconnected from the rest, probably because it is a structure as opposed to a mountian. I think I great way to integrate it would be for the black smoke from his factory's smokestack's to drift over Boatem towards Scar's mountain and transitioning to white clouds. And then Scar's base can be built on top of the white clouds and the whole area would come full circle!

[@seajayfour]

I really appreciate the effort you put into to your interiors. Most people would build the outside and call it a day but the attention to detail is what makes your skill stand out in my mind. I also get to pick up some ideas for myself occasionally!

[@m00ncheese41]

New DLC unlocked: Back of the base

[@bubsbuben914]

I'd love to see Impulse's and Scar's bases become a sort of dark figures in Boatem, like the idea of a giant factory poisoning or corrupting part the town in a strange way. The idea of nature vs human intervention, where as builds like the midnight alley and Mumbo's base are more about converging with nature. I think the idea of human's sort of ruining the environment for their own gain is something cool that I'd love to see done

[@joshuawest9537]

Hey, next time you're making crop farms, if you want to save time you can do "/Gamerule randomtickspeed 500" to speed up natural crop growth, grass growth, and other similar things. To put it back, do "/Gamerule randomtickspeed 3" You can make the "500" bigger or smaller for faster or slower if you still want that time lapse effect. It will speed up farmland turning back into dirt though, so you might have to waterlog the dirt. Amazing video! The sheer amount of time you put into this is absolutely amazing, and the result is gorgeous! Nice job :) 2:20

[@sleepz.sophie]

i think (for mumbos base) it could have a overgrown feel, like it was abandoned, because it kind of reminds me of what a jungle temple would’ve been if it wasn’t a cobblestone box 😂 Amazing video, keep it up! xx

[@Pikachu0071000CS]

This is such an incredible labour of love. Got recommended this video out of nowhere, gonna be watching a few more of yours now (after subscribing of course) :)

[@MountainDewBoi]

I love how much detail you put in these builds. The way you can make a build look twice as good without completely destroying the original build is something I will never be able totally accomplish. Can’t wait for part 2!

[@leh.6913]

that terrain gosh, I love it 8:34 seeing this really makes the built even better, cuz I always had the feeling that the mountain was too small. I really enjoy the effort you put into this, thx

[@remiguesdon9503]

This guy is truly underrated good work man

[@zeroknight1311]

For Mumbo's, leaming into the Hippie vibe might be best due to how his starter base is a a RV. Maybe we can get a reference to Ren's Hippie Persona of Renbob just to show that he and Mumbo are friends. Also, I do think if you were to properly connect Impluse's base to Mumbo's. I do think you should make it so that there's a better transistion between them. Maybe having it be that there's some kind of elevator or staircase whichconnects to the bases together. As I do see the employee's at Impluse's Factory living on Mumbo's Mountain.

[@FreyaMC_]

its glad to see you on high views! great job

[@Loganody]

Great job. It's nice to see someone who gives credit and appreciation to the original builder! You did these builds justice I think.

[@marveludus]

I rewatched all of season 8 and 9 this week because I'm super sick, and it's really cool to have a fresh memory of the builds as I watch you transform them!

[@ThaMango1]

Thank you for watching! :) I hope you get well soon!

[@zyx0205]

All great stuff, really. Season 8 was my first season and Boatem was my favorite part of it, definitely gonna watch the next episodes. Quick thing! I don't want to sound like your builds aren't good or anything but in the area in front of the diamond hourglasses, I'd love if you put a whale or a whale statue. I remember this joke from season 8 between Grian and Mumbo about building this and I would absolutely love to see it become a reality.

[@SailorGilb]

It really hurts me to remember Hermitcraft Season 8. It was such a shame it finished so prematurely. You can tell Grian and Mumbo were really enjoying their Mega Base projects and also felt proud about them, but since the season ended early and they had to start from the ground up in Season 9, they had to start from the ground up once again, and you can really tell how that affected their motivation to the point they both left Season 9 relatively early. Watching this video brought me a nice closure. :)

[@gauthiervergison6332]

Dang, this video made me realise how much of a full on village boatem was You could totally use it as a hub for a server, like the main town That's how well it all connects

[@H_McCabe]

It is honesty amazing how creative you are and how the respect for the original designs sill comes into the final version. I will admit i had my suspension on the "Transforming", but it is minded blowing.

[@christmasdespacito2505]

i really hope the hermitcrafters see your videos, so much talent!!

[@5tarry3y3d-0]

This channel is underrated, bruvva is doing something basically no one is doing these days.

[@faineant.]

I hope you redo the actual boatem pole, make it like an actual totem with faces and inscriptions curved into it and with bigger boats! Really looking forward to this whole series!

[@skellyjelly9604]

wow I'm lost for words. This transformation is amazing! and the respect you show to the hermits too! absolutely wonderful.

[@sincerelyv8264]

I just realized HOW MUCH SENSE it makes to put the BOATem sand timers / wealth trackers at a dock on the beach. 😂 Especially with the Boatem Inc. sign like that!

[@Lieroid]

Wow, this is awesome :) I was feeling cynical about these videos at first, but it's so obvious now that this is truly a work of passion for you. Keep going man!

[@cooldudemanix1300]

Bro the dedication this takes is crazy the buildings are insane. The one thing i see is that some of the houses in the alley have the same brown/tan color it would be cool to see a little more spark/color in some

[@chillbro1533]

u are such a great builder feel like u created such an amazing edit to the build that stands out from Grians original base without taking too much of Grians original ideas out. Perfect blend of yours and Grians ideas. Fantastic work

[@featherofajay4667]

There were a beautiful 365 comments on this video before I posted it, but this year is a leap year, so I can add one more xD I loved Boatem if only for the idea of connecting bases together. It's really commendable how you managed to take the vision these unfortunately slightly rushed bases represent and execute it so well, being able to transform them into something (in this case) Grian himself might've done with more time and the powers of Creative mode. I especially like the dragon that you added and the ceiling lights in the Midnight Alley, as well as the idea of raising the G-Train up onto a higher level. I've recently come to appreciate Pearl and her building capabilities a lot and am looking forward to what you'll do with her base!

[@tweeptwee]

every time i thought youd done as much as you could, you kept going with new and fresh ideas and fantastic ways to tie everything together! i give you massive props for this; i dont think i can overstate how impressively you melded your personal style with grians own. the added buildings in the alley, the editing and entire *train station* you built, the reformation of his starter base, the way you handled the starry sky- wonderful job, truly if grians initial render of the starry midnight sky amazed me when he first built it years ago, then this one truly made my jaw drop its *so* beautiful, artistically; if i ever find myself drawing a magical sky like this one, i might use this as reference and the fact that there are interiors we havnt even been shown- even if you dont fully finish (*no* pressure, if you dont, this is a massive undertaking), i hope you make a download of it available to walk through!

[@peacefulfungoloid8624]

I'm excited to see impulses base transformed, I love his idea for the wonka factory. My personal favorite rendition of the factory.

[@GlitchBee]

Really fun and ibtresting to watch. Whenever you get to Mumbo's base, you could do the messaging system between Grian and Mumbo's base? Just a thought since Grain mentioned wantind to do that.

[@antonkarolik6993]

Love your work on Grian's builds, however 1 small suggestion, with Griangotts bank, the exterior is brilliant! But the interior I feel doesn't fit the sleek design of the extrior, especially with the rough look of the granite and diorite, giving the whole place a crumbly and dirty look, rather than a sleek and secure place that you can store your valuables in. Other than that, love all the other features. Another small suggestion, have the train station be numbered 9 3/4 as a reference to the Harry Potter magical train station, and will nicely fit with Grian's Diagon Alley base

[@beanieboybeef3963]

this looks fantastic so far! i personally would love to see an expansion to the Pillbug Make-A-Wish statue! i know its not directly a hermit build, but to see it enlarged and made to spread more into other areas in the center i think would be really cool, maybe building lore that the pillbugs are a void mob that crawled up from botem and live within the builds!

[@glass5555]

that was breath taking. im amazed. u made me feel something i felt the first time i watched grian in his evo series. its like i just learned to play minecraft 12 years ago

[@HerculePyro]

Oooh I love the "reflections" of the chandeliers in the bank, thats incredibly well thought. I love the look of the station platform too.

[@titaniumvideos1039]

I absolutely love this! Hermitcraft 8 was by far my favorite and seeing this brought back some really good memories. I'd really like to see you continue doing one Hermitcrafter's base per video like tgis, I really like this format.

[@visiblyvisible8349]

OMG your inverted idea with the glass is so genius and perfect for a bank. Totally respect all the work and heart you put into ur builds!!!

[@Osprey2511]

I would’ve really loved to have seen the G Train departing the station and going over the bridge over the bridge rather than being hidden away in the station. That one tweak would just add so much more motion and life into the build.

[@Crosshill]

i didnt realize how much i missed season 8, they had a lot of great concepts and im happy to see them fully realized by someone who is expanding on the concepts not just the detail and scale, and im remembering all the weird builds and the stories behind them. i look forward to you having smushed all of it together into a chaotic but coherent area

[@KagureSaki]

We all can see that you also enjoying HC like us ! Thankyou for preserved an important detail on each building but also adding what each hermits original ideas as they mention on their videos

[@asacavanagh]

This was amazing to watch. You really captured the original concepts that Grian wanted in the ally, whilst not completely changing the core of the original builds. It's exceptionally well done!

[@sugnagaming]

You can try leaving crops un-bonemealed to save some time. You're going to work in that area anyway, so by the time you finish every base, they might have finished growing. Worked for my creative mode builds, might help you save time.

[@ayushadhikari9642]

What a good video! You kept everything the way Grian imagined it but also added your own spin on it and made something more grand than what would have been possible in survival. Can't wait to see the rest of the builds!!!

[@Crosshill]

im like vaguely remembering him talking about his plans for the alleys ceiling and i couldnt imagine that being possible in survival, especially when they have to focus on making content at the same time. his scaled down alternative did the job nicely, but i suspect he'd be happy to see someone take the idea in his head and let him see how it'd look for real, to confirm how cool it would have been

[@domitrov]

11:30 "Creating alot of kinetic energy" somebody tell him

[@Oogway876]

Personally inside Grians starter base on the left the lecterns that act as a fencing for the massive drop, I would add trapdoors to make them feel more connected (just a small detail I noticed while watching) but over the video is amazing

[@delphinejohnson4720]

I don't know how doable this is, but at 20:28 you should add a symbol (like the one used for the London underground) on the archway to indicate that it is a train station.

[@thedoglover5189]

If you are going to do a village square I would love if all the buildings are still kind of random like hermits just built what ever they felt like.

[@RoronoaSenshi]

I appreciate all the love you show these bases and I cannot wait to see the rest of boatem. Also, kudos to you for recognizing the significance of Scarland for Scar. I'll personally be happy just seeing how you do the Swaggon area ALso, Pearl's creepy pumpkin thing from halloween. Perhaps you could have it be the centerpiece of a large pumpkin farm close to Midnight Alley

[@HorribleTricycleAccidents]

Glorious!!! So much effort into 1 video is crazy! But it looks amazing

[@imaguy7070]

Hey! I got a idea for when you do Mumbo Mega base, their should be like a inside where theirs this Giant ancient beast in a deep sleep that looks like the statue on top of the mountain

[@JesseJLarrick]

Grain has said he does not enjoy the use of path blocks. He loves to use the variety of dirt, mud bricks etc to make dirt path/roads

[@sunnyquartz]

You have some great creative ideas with block pallet and all, looks epic and like a great realization of what grean was going for

[@smartpug967]

So happy someone is doing this! I always felt they just kinda abandoned Season 8 :(

[@sophiehoskins5642]

This is so true to the original build. Can't wait to see more from you

[@FlamingoGirlYT]

I really hope Grian someday finds this... This is amazing!

[@zLnix]

12:20 this could work really well as a "library of babel" 0:

[@berndarndt9924]

I really love your tranformation of the ally. Though the bridge looks to bulky in the video, blocks a little bit to much and the train is no longer visible. I also think you can make the train look a lot better. Maybe make an open tunnel like in london.

[@Smurftin]

What an awesome video. And holy macaroni grians megabase became like 5 times bigger. xD My favorite part was at 12:42 that libarary has such a uniqe and omnius feeling to it

[@thepottercommunity3529]

Just from the way he talks, I can confidently say that this man is SO UNDERRATED

[@WeltWeltWelt1195]

This is amazing, you should be in the hermit.

[@EzekielHulskamp]

Hey, Love your videos, they are always great to watch :) I think for impulses base, to connect it with the other bases (because it is quite industrial in comparison to the other bases, and does need some more connection), would be to do some sort of advertisements, such as billaboards, signposts etc... I feel like this would encourperate the 'village' sense of botem, and also would just create a more co-hesive area. Aswell, you could also try to expand a bit on the waste that the factory was leaking, by making the whole back section of the mountain range infected with the by-products of the factory. I know its a lot of work, but could definitly be worth it. Again, love this series, cant wait for more episodes. Hope this helps a bit :)

[@ThaMango1]

Amazing suggestions, thank you! I've been struggling with ideas for Impulse's area as it's already so complete, so that helps a lot thanks :)

[@ChrisBrett2]

You're going places man, the editing, the sound, and not to mention the building!

[@BigFoxAIM]

This is awesome! Love your Beautiful work, & all the effort & time you've put into it all! ^^ It all looks *glorious* you did amazing!!

[@hourslow]

SOOO COOL!!!!! Btw your such a good builder

[@amaryllis0]

This is super cool conceptually and it turned out great! One thing that left me a bit bewildered though was the block choices for the viaduct; the ore and coral blocks used feel a bit bizarre in terms of texture, and I'd love to hear what your thoughts were behind that or what you were going for

[@ThaMango1]

Thank you! I noticed Grian used a lot of coral blocks and copper in his builds, so I thought it'd fit in. Also I just personally liked the gradient it made from grey to the more dirt colored pathway along the top

[@TheFakeNomi]

I was a bit skeptical on the idea of transforming one of my favourite areas in all of hermitcraft - boatem - but you did such a good job and were really respectful to the original ideas, so I'm looking forward to seeing you doing the rest!

[@an0nnymous334]

Your builds look amazing! A little thing I realized for the midnight alley builds, Grian made almost all of it to be tilting to give the alley that kind of character. I get how building in a new style while tilting it could be very difficult tho

[@sniperlemming]

I hope when you finish your series, the Hermits can get your map, load it and all go and re-explore their world, remade. That would be a good mini series, like a Hermitcraft 8.5 Reloaded. lol

[@TSGAris]

I'd absolutly love to see te G-trian's track spiral through pearls mountains, into scars, behind mumbos, and the back of Tangos chocolate factory, then dissapear off into the sea, through a neather portal.

[@gwuh]

[@anderssvendsen6682]

Wow. You are an amazing builder, LOVE the detail work!

[@_-OSIRIS-_]

For Grian's house, it's nice that you put crops around it but if it's abandoned you should have only planted wheat closer the house to make it look like dead grass around it

[@joepvanmoorsel4140]

Amazing work and respect for the original and the ideas behind them

[@CanOBeans-ds5qq]

I think you gotta start realising how good you are man. The like goal was beaten by 10,000
