You said in the video you've been "learning from BDubs"-and it shows in the sponsor spot! Most entertaining ad since Mossman put out one that was really just him ranting about a squirrel for 60 seconds.

[@thomasharper9087]

i was half confused over the incident as you could have done it a bit more such as a meeting with the hermits explaining what "happened"

[@Apple_Beshy]

That is a lot of damage OH NO Ps. Oh..... IMPULSEEE YOU MONSTER!

[@RedLightning64]

I can’t trust this deal anymore, your trickery has destroyed my trust

[@rockinggamerdude]

There’s a such thing in history called the great explosion. What have you called us? “The great explosion of hermit craft 2024”

[@Destrozz6D]

Oh no, my base blew up! Oh no, Joel's base blew up! Oh no, Mumbo's base blew up! Oh no, Scar's base blew up! Oh no, Grian's base blew up! Oh no, Gem's base blew up! ... Oh no, Skizz's base didn't blew up!

[@adamhayes4691]

I love that the one base that’s actually in the mountain is the one that completely survived

[@Shortnamesareoverrated]

Yes 🤣 help ahhhh 🤣

[@AliPieSupreme]

Grian: Let's hollow out the mountain Impulse: What mountain?

[@recurvestickerdragon]

Grian: "volcano" Impulse: "eruption"

[@minecraftr298]

LOL

[@Bella_bumble]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Shortnamesareoverrated]

Hahahahahahah lmaooo

[@MichaelMoore99]

Grian: I don't have to build the back if I build on the side of a mountain. Impulse: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

[@Crazyboy2266Yt]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@Isaacrl67]

The main tip off that it was fake is just the sheer volume of TNT. Like, he'd have to dig the entire mountain out to place it all thus negating the need of TNT.

[@pvic6959]

also the fact that that much tnt couldnt make THAT much danage

[@fdracnc]

ye

[@bunkusboo]

I mean, it's very obvious during the replay that he used a fill command to replace the stone. That's why there are dripstone blocks and ores embedded in the mass of TNT.

[@SPRNGFVR]

thanks for not staring at the elevator floor, not alot of people even think about that sorta stuff until its too late, seriously i appreciate the consideration, epilepsy is super annoying and you honestly made me smile

[@Saviorprimo-incog]

I was watching the video with my dad when the explosion happened and I was mouth wide open in shock, then my dad looks as he gets some popcorn and said “Well he’s not gonna be in season 11”

[@sentinel1233]

Yeah! Your dad was right! Give hima fist bump fpr me. I was watching with my 2 sons too

[@SkodaYetiFan96]

Omg i laughed at your dad's quote!!🤣🤣😂😂 That is high-larious

[@pipboyflexer]

W dad

[@notbatman24601]

Lmao first he gets kicked out of guess the build then hermitcraft😂

[@Ciurk]

😂

[@Trevor_Watts]

The giveaway for me was the fact that there were no other hermits there for the explosion. Any explosion with that amount of TNT would surely garner an audience of hermits!

[@felbarashla]

That’s a good point! I realized that was a super inefficient use of tnt but never thought about there not being a Tango around to watch the booms.

[@jimmyg3835]

it did not git me because grian did the same thing

[@dying2survive298]

Especially with Grian as a neighbor. lol I noticed chat was dead silent and figured there was no way he’d do this alone on the server

[@totalphantasm]

I feel smart for not believing he was actually doing it from the beginning for a multitude of reasons and then I remember I’m a grown man consuming content rated for like middle-high schoolers and I suddenly don’t feel that smart anymore

[@Wodfamchocsod4]

@@totalphantasm I'm pretty sure a large part of the audience are adults. Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I don't enjoy family-friendly content. In fact, family-friendly content is all I will consume.

[@WoodlandDrake]

Grian: We are going to turn this mountain into a volcano! Impulse being Impulsive: What mountain?

[@jimmyg3835]

i guess scar way right thay did blow up the mountain

[@caitlin_star]

Scratch that! It's an exploding volcano!

[@wolfegaming36]

You got me good. In fairness, I've had a drink or two. But yeah you had me going right up until I saw you open the ender chest and only a book was there. That's a fantastic prank, I'm not mad at all. I love the idea of pranking us fans, as opposed to pranking other hermits, since there's a lot less damage for us to just believe a lie for a few minutes than for another hermit to have to deal with actual damage on the server. In a way, it actually brings us in as fans too. Like when you guys prank each other, we're just watching. But when you prank the viewers, in a way it makes us part of the server in a way we normally never get to be. It's like we're a part of things even though we aren't playing on the server with you all.

[@mrmadmanmark222]

You, Skizz and Grian got hats that suit you so well. I imagine Iskal back there hiding in the redstone waiting for each of you to claim a prize.

[@PurpleYetii]

You can’t fool me Impulse! I’ve already been traumatized by Grian when he “blew up” the mansion

[@luckycobble935]

Same

[@goopydoop2142]

SAAAAME

[@Step-by-step-transform]

Same

[@audrey.o.]

I was unfortunately there for that AND I WAS STILL TRICKED FOR THIS ONE- 😭

[@BarrenBones-t2h]

The way Impulse would be so much more mortified if he blew up peoples bases lmaoooo, he would suffer ptsd for decades

[@1Kapuchu100]

I was 100% expecting Impulse to have to crawl up to Xisuma and very humbly ask to roll back the server, to undo this catastrophe. I had completely forgotten about the Mission Possible that was blurred in the last episode.

[@jimmyg3835]

that wood have been the chary on top i might have even believed it if he did that

[@mysticalmaid]

I was expecting a roll back haha

[@Fyreflier]

I genuinely thought we'd all have to go plead with X on Impy's behalf after that. Well played, sir, you got me!

[@StarrySeal]

YEAH.

[@Vares65]

You totally got me. I was sitting thinking "surely the MODS have daily backups of the server, right? They can do a restore, RIGHT???" Well played sir. Well played.

[@fiendfyregaming2]

Bro that might have been the best prank I have ever seen.

[@pvic6959]

lol. ive seen enough "oh no. everything is gone" pranks that i wasnt fooled a bit. also, 2 double chests of tnt couldnt do all the damage shown. i figured if real, they'll do a rollback to a save. so even then not too much damage is done lol

[@asher3491]

I immediately thought "ask a mod to roll back the chunks!"

[@Storm_Chaser325]

Well for me I knew backups were a thing (from watching grian) and I'm like theres no way impulse is alone on the server so for me I knew, either server full back up at like the farthest, or what I had a stronger feeling and it was right was its a coppied world that Impulse got him for himself.

[@xynthymr]

IMPULSE - Sound idea: You know when you're in a subway, but you can hear the trains in nearby tunnels passing by (Ch-ch ch-ch ch-ch)? That might add an extra level of ambiance to your tunnel. Maybe even a wind whistling through, like Tango did last season in his ice tunnel

[@rebekahborah]

That was fantastic! You totally fooled me and my husband, and when you revealed that it was a prank, I literally said out loud, "I'm not even mad. That was great!" Great job putting in details at the beginning about how much time and effort had gone into the elevator shaft and tunnel so we were super-invested when we saw they had been 'destroyed.' 10/10

[@discotheunicorn447]

I was ALMOST fooled, except I know for a fact that if Impulse actually did that, he'd be freaking out. As soon as he pulled out that mission possible mission, I was like: Ohhhhhh Good prank though! Nobody better be mad! Also that mission possible prize was too funny.

[@cscape132]

It seriously couldn't have been scripted any better than that. That was amazing and so satisfying!

[@tsinu_2486]

Same except i think if this had been real impulse’s would’ve been a lot more worried about the damage he did to overs bases rather then he’s one base.

[@GuillaumePerronNantel]

I was more like: “Roll it back to the previous back up! Hopefully it was right before the explosion.”

[@WizardOfDocs]

even if it were real, he could get X to roll it back, right?

[@GuillaumePerronNantel]

@@WizardOfDocs I believe that yes and that it has been done in a prior season. That’s one reason I thought it was planned to be overly destructive

[@Slackbot]

Oh, you fink. You actually had me with the TNT prank. I was thinking that X would have to restore the server from a backup, but I caught on when you opened the ender chest. Good one!

[@LordKronsell]

Same i was actually broken, thinking about server roll back, was waiting for the ''april fools'' realising its not april and the book reveal came wayyy too late, gg man, gg.

[@babidavi6910]

Dang you went on a whole rollercoaster! 😭 ​@@LordKronsell

[@wyomingptt]

no way they should restore the server for something like this. that should be a last resort option for stuff that happens outside of human control. like if they updated the world and it deleted someone's base or something.

[@SamRMoyer]

As soon as I saw just how much tnt was placed, I knew he had worldedited it in! With how much was there, there was no need for any tnt; it was already mined out!

[@humieskum]

Spoiler 😢 was my top shown comment

[@Cricketblabbers]

Watching this I was like "hes being way calmer about this than I thought he'd be I would be having a panic attack haha" and then I realized that it's probably for a reason lol

[@sonolumiecho]

i was like "he would be so much more panicked about other peoples' bases".... "ohhhhh mission possible"

[@CEOofTired]

He did it to protect our ears😭💀

[@GSBarlev]

Tbf, if that had happened for real, he would have just DMmed Xisuma and been like, "Backup on aisle 3? 😅" so in any case it wouldn't have been the end of the world-unless every member of Magic Mountain agreed that the cleanup (and court case) would make better content. 😈

[@budgie0003]

I caught on when it got Joel’s base, I was like ‘there’s absolutely no way, let me check the comments’ and PHEW

[@aka_Lazer]

even if it wasn't a prank, they could just revert to a previous server back up lol. no big deal

[@citrisaurora1182]

I love how the first thing my brain thought of with the explosion was Gem's "IMPULSE!!" from the Phasmo streams.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Finally, I have collected them all. Grian's mansion breakdown. Doc's boatem bomb. Impy's boom boom mountain.

[@robeagleR]

Impulse if your worried about people with Light Sensitivity/Epilepsy for lighting stuff you can add a very short momentary Pause with text + yourself explaining there will be flashing lights , and a Monotone beep when it is finished (This is a fairly standard practice in such scenarios!) I have Light sensitivity myself although not Epilepsy wise and thats how I've found it to be best done, although in this case that flashing isn't doing anything toward me (I only get a tiny blip of discomfort from such things myself, others of course much worse.)

[@missykay25]

I wish I could upvote this more. I'm one of the unlucky ones with photosensitive epilepsy, and I've just become so used to people not caring or even mentioning a potential warning for flashing, so it was really heartwarming to hear Impulse actually give us a heads up. And I've never actually heard of this monotone beep approach, but it's definitely a great approach! Normally it's just guesswork and sound cues in conversation that clue me in to when to open my eyes again, but having a designated beep for when it's safe would be so nice (I honestly wish that was a feature I could enable for when I'm watching TV shows: beep when there's going to flashing lights, then beep when it's safe)

[@Werewolf914]

I wish this comment was higher up, I don't have light sensitivity unless you count sneezing when it's bright but I don't think that counts, but my Older Brother does to a smaller degree and it would be awesome if warnings were in more videos, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to edit in, but I also don't know about editing

[@enbydragon3036]

I also have light sensitivity, not epilepsy though. It would be nice if more people provided warnings and sound ques so I could look back at the screen.

[@ambipotent]

Leaving a comment to help bump this up! Good thing to know, I'll remember this with my own vids

[@IrregularityRowan]

​@@ambipotent Bump up!

[@TheXTopher74]

Lol, I love how the TNT spared Skizz's storage, even it just didn't have the heart to ruin that accomplishment.

[@lolli_popples]

“My question is, if I can get him in a boat, and start rowing the boat, would I be safe?” “Define safe” XD

[@tacitakoe5004]

My thought process was - "I know he showed two double chest of TNT, but I don't think even THAT would cover what I'm seeing in these replays..." Then, seeing the devastation - "Impulse, tell me this is a jo- OH! This was your Mission Possible task! Of course!"

[@MamaMarti1974]

I see Bdubs presiding over another court case in the near future: Cherry Blossom vs. Impy... Hold up... IMPULSE!!! Although, I would have loved to see that case.

[@Ekipsogel]

The wiki says: The evoker typically summons sixteen fangs in a straight line toward the target. However, if the target is within three blocks of the evoker, the evoker summons the fangs in two circles around itself: the smaller circle has five fangs and the larger has eight. The fangs do not seek the player, thus the player is able to dodge them. Summoning fangs resets the evoker's spell cooldown to two seconds and resets the cooldown for summoning fangs to five seconds.

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

Huh, intended behavior :o

[@MoonyFBM]

Oooohhhhh

[@HoneyGlory519]

My heart sank. I yelled, "you're so fired!" The more you showed the more my heart sank. I gasped at everyone's base as you showed the damage. I felt so bad for you that you were now going to have to make the call to notify everyone. But then you showed the book and said you were gonna pretend it didn't happen. I immediately said, "oh thank God. It's a world copy." And then you revealed it was a prank. And yes, I literally was talking to my t.v. as I was watching. I don't know about everyone else... But you asked if I fell for your prank. Yes. Yes I did. 😊

[@tsinu_2486]

Even if this was real I think the hermits would’ve found a way to restore the map

[@johnofthenorth6653]

After what you did to the mountain I quietly said to myself "get the TNT helmet". You're right, you couldn't have scripted it better.

[@51kittygirl]

The prank was epic, I literally felt anxiety bubbling up looking at the chaos! Also was so sad thinking it was the end of Bop and Go! I love the song that plays and the bop's with other Hermits it always makes my day!

[@catboygremlin]

with all the love in my heart, this ep just acts as proof that the life series isn't scripted lmaooooooooooo although credit to him, I was convinced that even the first tnt was on the backup singleplayer because of his level going from 39 to 36 before even planting the first bit.

[@DriftingFeathers]

as soon as i saw the damage, i had a suspicion of it being fake, then the way you acted as if this was a catastrophic event, but with the calm in your voice told me it’s definitely fake. But i do love the dedication!

[@Ave_Christus_Rex3777]

18:42 "That is a lot of damage." Even duct tape can't save you

[@BillTheDisaster]

Impulse, do you remember back in good old boatem times, Pearl rebuilds her entire house just because it's facing the wrong direction. Don't worry, you're not alone!

[@Phantom9252]

I actually think it would be fun to watch Hermits rebuild after a catastrophic explosion. Obviously it would actually have to be planned out in advanced with some kayfabe but it would be cool to see how they alter their builds in the reconstruction.

[@HihiShasha]

You had me in the first half! When you showed Joel’s base and the bunker destroyed I was in shock! But I’d seen Iskall’s episode with the same mission so I was desperately listening to your tone trying to suss if you were serious or not! Was still only half sure initially mind you, you pulled it off well! Great prank my guy!

​@@ErtplaysHard disagree, especially given the aesthetic he was going for. Crying Obsidian looks too magical. The new shaft captures post-apocalyptic perfectly.

[@andrewchapman2039]

The moment I saw Joel's stuff was damaged I knew it had to be on a backup, Even the most overzealous exploder would've taken extra precautions when working in the area.

[@Drea8015]

Thats what I thought like Joel would never have his area unprotected.

[@theangelonyourshoulder]

I do have to say Impulse, my jaw dropped at the first shot of the damage, but immediately after, with how chill you were being, and the small fact in the back of my mind that another hermit has done this, I was definitely doubting the reality of it lol

[@angelabarefoot]

Finished watching Zedaph's video then started Impulse's and realized this is perfect. Zedaph's creeper farm is a game of spleef using a single farm structure that generates occasional creepers which he then spleefs to generate blocks and gunpowder. It's cute, creative and ridiculous - typical Zedaph, right? I'm still smiling. Meanwhile, Impulse's farm is this massive four-farm structure that is absolutely awesome (and watching him build it was SO SATISFYING!), generates a crazy amount of gunpowder efficiently and easily, and is an industrial marvel for a survival world. Typical Impulse. Dude - you are KILLING it. I can barely do this in a creative world with a tutorial playing on my phone - lol. Great video, as usual - very fun. ;-)

[@mysticalmaid]

It's hard to play on a mobile so you have my respect, I can't play with a controller either.

[@audrey.o.]

I was genuinely believing that explosion happened! The thing that really made me actually believe it was that you were doing all the prep (or "prep?" Idk youre gonna use the tnt anyways lol) work ON STREAM so it made it more believeable that it was something you were actually doing; especially when you asked chat how much sand it takes to make a double chest of tnt. You really did well bamboozling us!

[@mysticalmaid]

OK, you got me. That's the 2nd time we viewers have been pranked this week 😂, Grian already put us in please wait mode this week 😂 My favourite part is Impulse getting wrecked over and over and over ❤😂

[@niello5944]

Grian for sure wished he got that mission #21.

[@mysticalmaid]

15:47 this is so cool and calming, it's so much better than a clinical time lapse. I love the music choice and hearing the sand fall and break

[@lolli_popples]

Ngl I’m impressed you could get an explosion that big in any Minecraft world without crashing lol. Real or not.

[@felbarashla]

He probably did it a bit at a time and then cut it together.

[@scarfanzi]

1.15 did a lot for TNT optimization, pre-1.15 would've crashed for sure hahah

[@renderproductions1032]

Circle teeth is actually an intended feature. I think it happens when the enemy is within a certain radius of the evoker.

[@theoryquery]

I have to say, I love that you had both a cool hyper energy super fast build montage, and then an at pace chill sand montage, and then the epicness of the tnt, but then the prank of magic mountain! It made a real nice pace and killer dynamic to the episode, with a huge emotional impact.

[@tylermellor505]

I think it'd be epic if everyone of cherry mountain became a superhero team like Voltron and the mountain housed your base. Each member getting their own space and y'all can build your own mechs (this could be really hard, but then build something that is the culmination of all your seperate things...like in voltron)

[@McNkoy]

Bro why did I think the ‘BIG MISTAKE’ was the obsidian and he was just tricking us? Hahaha! Impulse is a bit of a genius really...

[@lightning_11]

I knew it was a prank as soon as I saw 17:40. No sane person would place that much TNT, so it had to be /fill.

[@lightning_11]

Edit: Except Grian...

[@epicsbh5979]

This is the perfect Minecraft video! Impulse manages to blend intelligence, charisma, and practicality to make great videos every time! This video has a coherent storyline, blends the old “fast Timelapse” and the new “Bdubs style cinematics”, a good intro and outro, relates to my other favorite creators (members of magic mountain), a good twist, and most importantly I remained interested the whole time. Impulse you’re a genius and I consistently love your content both videos and livestreams (please keep playing phasmo!) keep up the great work!

[@ThatKoukiZ31]

Hermits- Oh wow this is a beautiful mountain to build on! Also Hermits- WHAT MOUNTAIN

[@mykael79]

that prank totally got me! I was silently freaking out in my seat thinking that the Magic Mountain was gone and everyone would be mad, and I was hoping it wasn't real. you really said go big or go home. also, I wanna thank you for the light sensitivity warning / not showing the flickering lights. not many people these days think about those who can't look at bright flashing lights so I'm glad you gave us a warning! you're awesome!

[@adamhayes4691]

You got me. I saw the tnt and I thought there is no way Impulse is that irresponsible to blow up that amount of tnt without proper planning. But then I remembered this is Hermitcraft; the one server where it’s okay to blow up a mountain on which many players live, and all remain friends afterwards. Then I saw the damage. I was really upset to see that. And I felt awful for you having to tell everyone that parts of their bases are ruined, or having to ask Xisuma to get a backup. The more damage I saw, the more I was thinking it might be fake, but I still believed it. Until you opened your ender chest. I was so relieved. Just seeing that there was nothing but a book in there gave it away. Well made. And the TNT helmet was perfect.

[@starrenPI]

Seeing a big farm being built is so satisfying. I love that there's been more focus on building and interactions because I see a lot of enjoyment and growth, but it felt like it's been a while and was fun to watch.

[@adamadventures107]

This reminds me of when Grian had his “meltdown” in Season 7 and blew up his mansion. Well Played!

[@GSBarlev]

Gosh, so much awesome in this ep. I won't comment on the big thing that happened, but: - The elevator shaft looks *so much better.* - The tunnels at 30% brightness makes me wish Minecraft supported HDR (and that I had an HDR display lol). - Then there was the _The Fifth Element_ reference, which cracked me up. - Finally, I love love _love_ the montage music you've been using this season.

[@starswater]

Thank you for being considerate of photosensitive epilepsy, Impulse. I appreciate that immensely, and I'm sure others do, too. The elevator ride down does still flash, even though it's not as strong. It's not necessarily the strength of the flashing that can trigger it (though it might play a role for some, I would imagine), usually it's caused by the flashing being rhythmic or patterned. Which... a redstone elevator like that definitely is.

[@samanthahauton2030]

Hi Impulse! I really enjoy all your content, I've been watching your videos for a while as a lurker when lockdowns happened in the pandemic. My brother even got me your Makeship plushie! So, this video has been amazing. You should not doubt your building skills, or worry about "wasting time" on making something nice. Your lift shaft looks amazing and really made me think of proper scifi movie shafts, like Trek or Star Wars or even Battlestar Gallactica. Absolutely awesome look to it! Also incredibly impressed with the consistency of your tunnel design. It looks awesome. I do not have the patience to do that, I don't know how you did it. The flickering lights were a great touch. Continue doing amazing content.

[@Tothfromoldhell]

You 100% had me with that prank omg i was feeling so bad for you and the others hermits ! Gg Impulse that was an awesome prank !

[@LDaemontus]

Well, now the dystopian city is actually dystopian.

[@LDaemontus]

Well, now the dystopian city is actually dystopian. It was obvious it was a prank, or least a stitch incoming because so many hermits use copies of the current season to test stuff and damage like this wouldn’t be tolerated if it was a live server. But good try! Grian has stated multiple times that the rule is to never do a prank you can’t fix for fellow hermits, and well, this would be hard to repair.

[@neetscholar4149]

I was thinking about your blinking flying machine again, and I thought about 2 things that might possibly fix the issue. 1) since the problem happens when going up but not down, the issue seems to happen when the Slime Block occupies the space where the light source used to be. Slime Blocks are solid blocks, despite being see-through. But Honey Blocks aren't. So maybe re-building the elevator with the Slime and Honey Blocks switched would fix the issue. 2) If that doesn't solve it, then maybe it's a problem with the copper light bulbs. No clue as I haven't tried to use them yet, but maybe try replacing it with a Froglight or a Sea Lantern?

[@DrkJazzmyne]

I thought it was legit until you started flying around discovering all the damage. But i could tell from your voice you werent as "upset" as one would expect. Could almost hear you holding back your grin. 😂 From the point you discovered your storage was gone, i was waiting for the "reveal" 😂

OMG that was so brutal! poor Joel, poor Mumbo! Poor Gem and Grian! but I can't stop laughing... Best prank ever! I wouldn't have thought you would have been so reckless :) good job

[@Alex-ep6pf]

He had me thinking it might be real up until about 21:20 when he wasn't as concerned about his storage missing. I then realized it was a prank. I also saw Iskall write Mission Possible mission #21, so I knew it was "prank your viewers, big or small". Reminds me of when Grian convinced us he blew up The Mansion in season 7.

[@NickAndriadze]

*31:59* Proof that Tango doesn't know raid mechanics well enough. The circle of teeth is one of Evoker's _actual_ attacks, if you're close enough to him he does that.

[@Cluemily]

You honestly had me going for a second there, but I feel after having seen Doc pull the same sneaky move when pretending to blow up Boatem, it had me a little wary that there's no way anyone would be willing to destroy this many bases, even if they were willing to repair all the damage. That's a lot of work for a prank dkshg But honestly it was a good show, props!

[@Lykos93]

Clearly Tango has had enough to do with Evokers. He could have stepped in at any moment, but just watched the chaos and enjoyed the fact that it wasn't him this time. I mean, he had so many in Decked Out 2 that there's no way he didn't know exactly what to do. He has earned the show you two put on for him.

[@stephen_harvey]

With the creeper farm, that design works alot better when you alternate which floors get flooded, like 1, 3, 5, 7 get flooded, and while they are flooded, 2, 4, 6, 8 will be able to spawn, then 2,4,6,8 get flooded and they can immediately spawn on 1,3,5,7....

[@braydonpratt6726]

Im guessing the redstones a bit more complex though

[@goodboi650]

@@braydonpratt6726 not particularly, tbh (at least, not at Impulse's level). you'd just swap out half the full buckets with empty ones and place water instead, so it would be like half the platforms already had placed water on them. when the farm runs, you'd have half the platforms drop water, and half of them collect it back.

[@IsochronyxMC]

Easier fix: just alternate which towers get flooded.

[@stephen_harvey]

Although, one downside is you wouldn't be able to fully turn it off I suppose

[@BrandonVout]

It depends how fast the creepers die. If they were dying instantly from fall damage, this might be true, but all that water on the bottom slows things down. The unflooded floors won't spawn many (if any) creepers because the previous creepers are still being pulled toward the campfires, keeping the mob limit full. I have a smaller scale version of this (with another drop between the water floor and the campfires) for a general mob farm and didn't see an hourly drop difference from alternating floors. I just synced them back up so I wouldn't have to build a lighting rig to turn it off.

[@dariaemagan5812]

Omg you actually had me wtf. My first Impulse was "is it a Backup?" But he just Continental looking at the damage and starting to work it out so i was convinced. What a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@RowanSheaves-Chapman-g2u]

I really liked the bdubs cinimatatics you implemented, it was a nice breather being able to relax with the more calm music, but don't get me wrong I do still love the high intensity grinding like what you did with the creeper farm. And holy you know when you experience something so big and traumatizing you are unable to process or think straight? That is what I had in that little segment there with the mountain blow up.

[@Luna-pm7ry]

When I saw the tnt I audibly when oh my god and then I saw the surrounding damage and genuinely started tearing up bc I was just thinking how much work EVERYONE put in to their surrounding builds and every single one of them (except skizz) in some way was damaged.. that was a really good prank but now I’m traumatized 😭

[@vilsqu]

Same. I had to pause the video for a good while when the book was shown

[@catboygremlin]

the tnt was blowing up super weird, and that was my first red flag that something was up (well, I'd been spoiled by comments, but that was the first "tell" I saw)

[@therookiegamer2727]

@@catboygremlin Eh, that actually makes sense, entities don't update properly when you have that much TNT blowing up, messes with the explosion pattern

[@catboygremlin]

@@therookiegamer2727 yk that's fair, I've never actually blown up *that* much tnt before, I just assumed even at scale it was more of a "rolling" explosion than a "wave-based" explosion

[@Cameron-iu5jo]

That was the BIGGEST bamboozled moment I'd ever seen. And that secret book really did a number on me. ;D

[@ProudT2]

If I remember correctly, I believe Bdubs did say in the tour video he doesn't use 30 brightness all the time, just when building. But I might be wrong

[@JohnnyStacks]

this episode was incredible! So admirable of you to not only take inspiration in Minecraft but also in the storytelling/video aspect as well. Im originally a bdubs but you continue to impress me! Safe to say im now an Impulse fan too

[@aminoacid2155]

First off, this was amazing! You literally had me thinking that you managed to destroy not only the whole mountain but the bases of your neighboring hermits! Secondly, I thought that something was up because playing sad music in the background of something THAT tremendous felt off but I still couldn’t believe I was tricked until you showed the missions book. Wonderful job! (But please never do that again 😅😅😅)

[@cassiopeiazen3979]

You nailed ittttt👍👍👍. Best intentional prank for viewers everrrr

[@GabrielRettig]

JERK!!! 😂I totally fell for it!!!😂🤣😂

[@sirfallzalot]

It would be awesome if the people of the magical mountain made a “magic mountain council” in that space to act as a sort of government for the season ten hermits.

[@sirfallzalot]

Dude he literally got me so bad, I thought he was gonna have to roll back the server 😂

[@TravisDoomGuide]

I’ve actually been playing Minecraft with moody and shaders on for over 3 years now and it’s intensely scary in mines with how dark it is. I really enjoy it.

[@nasiskahn]

Big! Big! BIG Bada-BOOM! Can you imagine that damage? It was fun to see all the tnt falling then exploding. Mission accomplished ! The tnt hat! Perfect! Btw loved when you got into a slapping fight with the Vindicator! Deathloop! Hey aren’t you guys going to help me?!

[@ozelhassan8576]

I new it was a backup of the HC10 but didn’t realise it was a prank the Viewers, ImpulseSV Well played Sir, Well Played.
