Another reason Hermitcraft is great. No kids screaming into their microphones.

[@gregcervantes9268]

*Insert Grian and Scar screaming in dangerous situations* Not saying its a bad thing but I find it funny.

[@Raincloud_.]

@@gregcervantes9268 yeah but it's also only for dangerous situation or when Grian gets a kill in the life series, it's not through the entire video like a lot of other KZbinrs now

[@Cubecly]

Yes, ppl screaming in vids to keep ppl interested is a bit too much for me, and probably lots of other ppl. Those vids U can't exactly have a chill time watching 😂

[@lucasmatthiessen1570]

They do scream most of the time. But not to keep kids entertained. But because they’re actually having fun.

[@gregcervantes9268]

@@lucasmatthiessen1570 Oh I definitely agree on that

[@jewellier]

I love how chill Hermitcraft is. There rarely is any screaming or swearing, all the members are friends and are respectful to each other, and the main point of the server is to build interesting things and have fun. You can put almost any of the episodes on your second screen and just play along, or watch them at the evening to just relax and lighten the mood. Nothing flashy, nothing too fancy, nothing vulgar - just Minecraft with good people

[@Cubecly]

Yea! In the end, it's just friends playing Minecraft! Nothing more nothing less.

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

I swear there have been times where I fell asleep while enjoying an episode of Hermitcraft because of how calm it is with just a bunch of friends playing Minecraft that’s basically Hermitcraft and I adore when they do charity streams it just helps them show they are not a content farmer and they legit love what they do for their community and the video from Xisuma called “what can we do for you” just shows they are more than willing to be help their community and beyond

[@DriftDweeb]

Really the hermits have only started slowing down their edits this season, the last few seasons have been more and more heavily edited. But yeah, basically They’re a group of actual friends that all happen to be massive creators, they’d be just as successful, maybe even more successful in their own projects, but they choose to stick together in hermitcraft.

[@Cubecly]

It's why they ended up inviting skizz. Before season 9, skizz had very little chances of getting in cos before that, they were more focused on the analytical side of things.

[@thundabolt7867]

Then there is joel

[@excubitor3440]

@@Cubecly I think Skizz was the perfect addition to this season. He's not the greatest builder (still above average) and not a redstoner (again, still above average) so his minecraft stuff is a bit more relatable than some of the others...but viewers can watch and learn with him as other hermits teach him skills to bring his projects to the next level, like his terraforming collab with...Gem iirc. Where Skizz excels though is his interactions and creating social situations, which given the slower pace of the season is playing a big part. Even Joel is like that, he's a great builder and decent redstoner but his social and interactions are what are helping raise this season to a higher level.

[@didi81_]

​@@Cubeclythat's just not true, look at people like tfc, JoeHills, xBcrafted, False, there's plenty more who never had the highly edited and stylised videos... it was never necessary to have heavily edited videos on Hermitcraft, or tons of subscribers, or even be a great builder or redstoner. They invite people based on what they can add and how well they think they'll fit in with the group.

[@Cubecly]

@@didi81_ Yea, I wasn't necessarily talking about every hermit, but Impulse, Skizz and Ren all stated in a podcast that in previous seasons, many hermits began trying to chase the algorithm more, and this season, wanted to move away from that. Of course not all of them did this, but esspecially for those with KZbin as their full time job, its almost impossible to not have done it at any point. Also, those who focus more on streaming like Joehills, would obviously be different as Twitch and livestreaming in general is completely different.

[@benrex7775]

I watch docm77 since he had less than 1000 subscribers. When he came to the Hermitcraft server, I naturally followed. And as he interacts with the other hermits, I find that they make interesting content too. In one season I watch Welshknight build a castle while in another season I watch how Scar annoys Grian. I noticed that you like cinematic videos. I'm curious if you ever watched a doc video and payed attention to that. He also has story flows, underlying music and stuff like this. I'm quite the layman in that topic so I don't notice most of it. But even though he is mostly known for his crazy technology, he is quite the good storyteller, role player, networker and builder too.

[@Cubecly]

Yes, I've watched at least a few of every hermit, but obviously don't have time for all of them, so just follow a few. Docs videos I often put on in the background cos they're so long, but yea I aggre with U!

[@NickAndriadze]

Doc is just a near-perfect content creator in my opinion. Whilst he'd only be second to Grian when it comes to my favourite Hermits, I do agree that he's a perfect package in every way. Not only is he an absolute mad genius and his projects are the most fun to follow and see coming into fruition, but he also excels in basically everything else. Just like you mentioned, phenomenal builder, storyteller and roleplayer, on top of a crazy dedicated grinder... I personally don't really enjoy how his videos are mostly near-uncut and on average last about an hour, as I *really* don't have THAT much time to say, catch up to a season I was late to, unlike most other Hermits that are very easily bingeable thanks to their 20 minute episodes, but it's just another great strongpoint in Doc - He doesn't care about retention or attention span manipulation or anything like that. He's just popular for the sole reason that his projects and creations really are THAT insane, smart and grand.

[@benrex7775]

​@@NickAndriadze I wouldn't say he is near perfect in everything he does. But perhaps I'm still a bit "scarred" by the time between the world tours and season 8 where he was in a bit of a low. I also didn't like the beginning phase where he tried to get into roleplaying and did it in a way that wasn't to my taste. Also he likes to plan out these big strategies but then everything puffs away as he overcomplicates things and is too much of a softie. Because of that in conflicts or economical wars he looses to the simpler approaches of Grian. I don't mind the long videos as I generally watch long form content on KZbin.

[@henrycooper3431]

Honestly what attracts me about Hermitcraft is that there is a reason the buildings are like that, you arent just watching a guy trying to haphazardly put together in 100 days, you are watching a building evolve as time went on. I could look back at one of the series and be like "oh hey the giant modern looking supermarket, Grian was the one doing the design while Mumbo built the complex system!" or "its Grian's Barge! It was such a small little platform and now it grow into one of the most popular market!" With alot of the more content farming vids, its just "WE BUILD THE BIGGEST MOST BEAUTIFUL SUPER DUPER ULTRA DELUXE PALACE!" Like sure it looks cool, but its just an oversized glorified mansion, we dont really see it evolve, having life breathe into it as the one who own it build it, expand it, adding history into it

[@Cubecly]

Yes, the history and emotional attachment makes U feel part of the journey

[@henrycooper3431]

​@@Cubeclyi could remember when i eagerly hop onto Grian's upload just so i could see how he would approach building the Barge, those truly are happy moments brought by Hermitcraft

[@mrfoodarama]

Love Hermitcraft, what a wonderful group of people! I do miss Mumbo. I know technically he's playing this season, but for the last few seasons it feels like he's barely around. Season 6 and 7 Mumbo was a part of just about everything and now he is barely ever in anyone's videos but his own. Come back Mumbo! Of course all the other Hermits are wonderful as well, I suppose Mumbo may have gotten to a point where he wants to live his life and enjoy it considering how well he's done for himself. The new Members Joel and Skizz also bring so much to the server. Can't say enough about the Hermits, they stick to making great videos for us and they also keep drama to a minimum which is great for their image

[@Cubecly]

Yea, I do know he's been to Australia and New Zealand filming stuff for the Minecraft movie, but he has been a little less active than in previous seasons. I do feel like it's well deserved tho.

Zed makes THE most unique Minecraft content on youtube. Criminally underrated, it's just hit or miss whether you like his personality or not

[@RomaNickel]

Very cool video! I find it amazing, that Hermitcraft still works that well. Goes to show that people having fun is always entertaining no matter what others say... The hermits doing basically the same thing for 10+ years and the content (wich didnt really change much) still working as it is, is a perfect example of that I believe.

[@Cubecly]

yea! even with the meta for youtube changing so drasticly, they have barely changed a thing and are still going strong!

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

@@Cubeclyhonestly you brought up a good point some of the KZbinrs I loved have made content I am not satisfied with the screaming amounts have gone up and they are adults who make the videos only few haven’t changed as much it’s quite sad

This is all 100% true! I'm a newer Hermitcraft fan, a newer Minecrafter even (less than 2 years) and it's been really nice to see such a positive community of creators make wholesome content that got me through some tough times recently. Also, good luck on your own SMP endeavors! I'll have to go check you guys out sometime.

[@Cubecly]

Thanks, and it really is one of (if not the) best comunities on youtube right now! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!

[@NickAndriadze]

I agree with you about the MrBeast bit so much. In a world where media content has reached the summit attention-grabbing, soulless clickbait, of Hermitcraft still remains as a shining, beautiful example of what KZbin used to look like, and what it can still *be* - Entertainment without obnoxious manipulation. The sincere simplicity of people playing Minecraft, creating epic projects and engaging in extremely fun shinanegans.

[@Cubecly]

Yea! and Ludwig actually made a really good point in one of his vids, which is Mr Beast never has a very good "Why?" to his videos

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

PREACH!

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

Also to me Hermitcraft is literally like eternally unchanging in how they act because it’s been many many years and not much has changed of the hermits behavior on KZbin besides the expansion of the hermits group not much else changes which is a great thing in my opinion it’s the one thing on KZbin that remains constant for me Hermitcraft shines eternal

[@minementalx]

In addition they have a good mix of people on the server. I am an OG BDoubleO100 or Etho enjoyer since Mindcrack and then got Mumbo for the generation after that and now Gem, Pearl and SmallishBeans for the "younglings". And they have really good specialists in every aspect of the game, so everybody can enjoy AT LEAST one hermit.

[@Cubecly]

Tango once described HermitCraft as kid friendly adult content, which is a perfect way of putting it. There's something for everyone to enjoy!

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

I literally watch all the hermits videos to see all their perspectives because I know when I watch them I know I will have a good time watching Hermitcraft no matter who I am watching it from

[@GikamesShadow]

To me the more recent seasons were a tiny bit stale. Not that it wasnt fun but it got generally kinda boring to watch over time. I wanted older seasons back. And this is what Season 10 feels to me. A return to what made it great. It goes without saying that "moons big" season was fun. Lots of shenanigans but just not enough to keep you interested. And then when Iskall uploaded his first episode he said "This is the best start of every season yet". I was skeptical. But then as it progressed I simply had to agree. The genuine amount of just normal interactions of friends goofing off. The "Roasting of the Dog" (Rendog) is still one of my probably favorite moments of all of hermitcraft. And it all happened just because Iskall did not want to cut out the goofy fun that they were having. Even his approach to other episodes or even Vaulthunter SMP was this way. Where instead of leaving out stuff that would have been just filler, he left it in for the funnies cause while it wasnt just "haha funny" humor, it still felt more organic than just skipping to the next point with a voiceover saying "Stress and me decided to go vaulting". This is for all intent and purpose a return to form for Hermitcraft. One with mods of course but one that is more enjoyable than before as the mods are simply there to enhance the fun and not change it out right.

[@Cubecly]

Yea! Season 9 (especially the end was really quite dull compared to the other seasons, and felt like only a few hermits, scary, doc, and a few others were still somewhat active. While season 10 brings back the "friends playing Minecraft feel, and made it feel like they were genuinely glad to be playing with each other

[@JamesK788]

[@Cubecly]

yea watched dsmp for a bit. for obvious reasons, didn't last long

[@GenshinLover-nn1sj]

To me Hermitcraft is just the right series I’ve tried watching dreamsmp but it had no properly wholesome moments that were unscripted in Hermitcraft the members do role play but not on a friendship ruining scale also I absolutely enjoy Rendogs story’s to me the interactions between members is what matters

[@dandymcgee]

MrBeast is completely unwatchable these days. Not everyone on KZbin is a 9-year-old on their mom's Android phone. Some of us want actual content of interesting and creative things.

[@Cubecly]

Although I don't think he should be criticised. He was the first to do it his way, it's just everyone else copied him to make money. He's just inviting. I don't mind his videos existing, it's the way they are affecting everything else
