WE'RE BACK! - Episode 1 - Minecraft Modded (Vault Hunters)

[@rajeevmasilamony8395]

You guys have no idea how much seeing this series means to me. I grew up watching your original FTB series, Skylands, and Shatblock. I’m going to make myself a drink, kick back, and remember easier times. Thank you Ross, Trott, and Smaffy for almost a decade of laughs and pulling me through so many dark times.

[@1monsoon5]

Mhm! I'll toast to that. These lads were always some of the best when it came to Minecraft content (while also being super fundamental to Minecraft's early development!). An Epic Hatventure and Skyland's editing still mesmerize me to this day ^^

[@rajeevmasilamony8395]

@@1monsoon5 it’s crazy how well those series still hold up today! And it’s also incredible seeing the ripple effect the boiks content had on the MC community in general.

[@ponchotetele1847]

Couldn't have said it better myself, a toast to the boys !

[@kingkuma4112]

I sure hope they enjoy this pack, greasers and shatblock 2 died pretty quick.

[@rajeevmasilamony8395]

@@kingkuma4112 shatblock 2 died because the pack was not well constructed. Rats were annoying and I think smaffy was still burned out on MC. MC burnout also applies to greasers, especially since it was a rehash of the mod pack they were playing previously. However, he’s back in full teeth-gritting mode for this series which only happens when he’s really enjoying the game 😂

Just here to watch Smiffy discover some type of magic and for Ross to start building impossible structures while Trott does all the work. True fan~

[@deetrixreed8961]

Truly the truthiness doth abound.

[@ReinFreedom]

All we need now is for the Hand of Truth to come in and give a thumbs up

[@miwright21]

I mean absolutely no disrespect to Craig who has always done a fantastic job editing for the boiks, but I am elated to see the return of Trott's style of editing/animations. One of those things I didn't realize how much I missed until I saw it again. Really looking forward to the series and I sincerely hope they're all having fun playing it and that it continues for many, many episodes. We could all use the laughs and good times right now.

[@jacobwaddell6075]

Trott is a master in the art of conjuring boners via editing

[@Raecast]

How do you know who edited this? The only disrespect here is that you assume an editor like Craig can't emulate trotts editing style, which any good editor would easily be able to do.

[@drunkonmilk87]

@@Raecast Trott said in their yearly update that he was back editing this series.

[@miwright21]

@@Raecast Probably because Trott himself said he was editing it. But If you wish to continue to make yourself look foolish by all means.

I love it when Ross lets his inner voices out, when Smith talks through his teeth, and trott laughs at both of them hahaha

If anyone still needs convincing to get a membership, the extended cut is an hour and a half long. Definitely worth it!

[@JakeManTim]

I realize I was a late teenager when I discovered Hatfilms years and years ago, but goddamn the nostalgia of a new hatfilms minecraft series! Already reminds me of "An Epic Hatventure!"

[@CaptainJack]

Smith vs the baby zombie was something else.

[@beth_mars]

Oh I'm so excited about this!! Everything about it is perfect. Ross being chaotic, Smith's excessive aggression and Trott just trying to play the game and teach them both. I'm so happy.

[@samuel_excels]

Smith's snarled comments through gritted teeth had me chuckling.

[@sabermachine3296]

11:06 “It can’t be a face it’s got no eyes.” 😂 Smiths humour never ceases to tickle me.

[@HrryBrry]

It begins

[@thegoatley3871]

I'm already excited to rewatch this series in 10 years

[@movieeater123]

I was 15 the last time i watched then play minecraft! Shatblock, Hat Corp & FTB were staples of my existence growing up. Also conversations about jenkum were common i seem to remember

[@yomama269378]

[@Wayward-Son]

I don't have hardcore nostalgia like a lot of the folks here in the comments, but I love the pack and I always enjoy the hats, so I'm excited for the series!

*Hears the intro music* Now that's music I've not heard in a long time... a long time. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. 13:43 Good to see the improv music is back!

This is the Hat Films I know, and love, complete with impromptu musical numbers and no face cams!!!! Love to see you guys playing characters again, even if those characters are just yourselves.

[@OfficialMaxBox]

It's been 84 years.. glad to see you back, boiks

[@maddestmurph]

Any non-members reading this, think about joining to support the lads. We got an extra hour of edited content! Really glad to see you guys back in MC and in awesome form! EDIT: It sounds like being a Patreon patron might get the lads a higher cut of the money, and I can see the extended video is up on their page there. So, yeah. Support them wherever (if ever) you can, but Patreon might be the way to go?

[@DnoSauce]

Wow an Extra Hour?! It might be time

[@maddestmurph]

@@DnoSauce Yep, like 80 minutes total! And all edited like this.

Ooh look at me! I've got disposable income

[@miwright21]

You know, I'm happy for those that are able to afford memberships and can enjoy exclusive stuff, but could you please not shill in the comments? There are quite a few of us who don't have disposable income and for whom it's a bit of a struggle keeping the heat on this winter with the skyrocketing costs. The Hats already advertise their stuff; they don't need randos doing it for them in the comments of their own videos.

[@happyhatebot]

When he said 'And I brought these two in', I almost expected Ross and Smiffy to accuse him of kidnapping *immediately.* Missed opportunities, but damn I'm glad we're back, boiks! Lovely to see you, cannot wait for the chaos to set in.

[@1945redarmy]

Happy to see the Lad's back in Minecraft. Looking forward to more from this series.

[@StartledOctopus]

That outro is top-notch

[@transarchivist]

I find it interesting this video shows different perspectives to the extended Members' Only video! For example, at 3:40 Ross' cam is shown, whereas Smith's perspective is shown on the Members' Only vid, suggesting they were edited separately rather than concurrently. Very curious! I love this new series and I'm very very very excited to see a nostalgic return to Minecraft. Thanks for the many many years of entertainment, as someone who began watching Skylands at 14-ish and am now 25. :)

Love the animations and editing, really gives it the classic feel of a Hat Films Minecraft series. Can't spell "chaotic" without "hat" and I am always here for the crazy shenanigans. Remember, members get a full hour more on top of this incredible episode, and it's well worth it to let our favourite lads to talk about bean feasts to their hearts' content.
