Hermitcraft 10: Episode 19 - I build now

I can't keep hiding this, I think I'm now a builder. In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video on the Hermitcraft server, Mumbo gets to work on building the Hermitcraft Magic Mountain city. This massive Minecraft survival base is covered in Minecraft houses and Hermitcraft shops. This Minecraft build includes story telling, and a lot of world building.

With the most recent update, minecarts can travel through portals and stay on the track through dimensions. This means that your gold shop can be completely automatic by ferrying the gold straight from the farm to the shop

I love that Mumbo goes from “I’m still a big fan of yours Joel” to “you built that statue? That’s really disappointing” in the span of like five seconds 😂

Mumbo, you made a comment about the new blocks being perhaps a sole reason (if not THE sole reason) you feel better about building. Not intending to overshadow or simplify your experience at all, and maybe it was intended as a light-hearted joke, but from an audience perspective, you have been an amazing builder. I have only been watching since season 7, but the way your brain seemingly is able to put together certain ideas and concepts, specifically with putting shapes and lore-pieces together is truly something to behold. Like having a golden and living heart at an ancient temple being supported by a futuristic society. Like having a rainbow village built across a waterfall. Like designing business cards for your projects.

Between your Hermitcraft projects, your videography you put out on your second channel, as well as the insights and commentary you have about being creative and pursuing projects, to me your art is a big inspiration for myself as someone who only does pencil paper drawings or acrylic painting.

I would argue that the major difference hasn't necessarily been the expanded block pallet, which there may be certain amount of truth to it as the blocks have given everyone more freedom, but instead the detail and care that you've had the courage to take risks for. You're taking chances with shapes and concepts, you're exploring new colors, playing with perspectives and terraforming, all while acknowledging that what you intend to accomplish is difficult from time to time even without exploring these ideas. All these tiny steps you've taken have all led to you becoming a significant builder.

I also just wanted to say that I also appreciate your honesty about procrastination, anxiety about starting tasks, and burnout, and the fact that you take time out of your commitments to replenish yourself so you CAN do the things you're so passionate about. For instance sleeping on an idea you're frustrated with and being able to come back and try again. I'm personally just someone who has a hard time knowing how to start and when to stop.

All this to say, your skills don't come from a bunch of pixels in an online game. The online game has just been a good tool for you. You're doing great things. Thank you for sharing your great things online :-D ❤

6:37 After reading the Mumbo the Fanboy's pleading tweets... Finally, 11 years later... Joel has decided to comeback to YouTube, yey!🥳😂

Its really fun that mumbo is developing a recognizable building style. Hes been a good builder for a while, but has always gravitated towards pretty geometric shapes, so I love seeing him come into his own on small scale, original, more freeform buildings (and TERRAFORMING. WHAT!?)

[RamDragon]

When you described Jill N' Bill's "stuff lift" I totally thought you were going to go into some lore building and explain that it's how Jill and Bill get up and down. First, Bill goes into the shop and operates the lift so Jill can come up, then Jill lowers the lift to bring Bill up. Bill keeps running up and down hidden staircases every day to keep up the ruse hoping Jill never catches on to the problem with their little arrangement, but Jill already knows and just thinks it's a fun ritual every morning but doesn't really know why Bill started it.

I love how Grian and Mumbo are very slowly switching roles 😂

[Vic_lee-pcbt]

What’s next? Grian builds an industrial farm area? Scar doesn’t die in an episode?





Bdubs stops smiling
Doc uploads a short video
Etho builds both an Interior and Exterior (and stops obsessing over Joel)
Xisuma starts being mean to his audience
Joel acts nice to audience (and stops obsessing over Etho)
Gem gets destroyed in pvp and stops being nice
Pearl becomes disorganized
Zedaph plays the game normally
Iskall completes a season with everything done
Cleo has a non custom armour stand

[izzytodd]

Boulder Bros sign should definitely be lit up, because since their calendar says they’re Big Ron’s approved, I think he would give them free sign lighting. In small towns, business owners help business owners.

[daveyjensen]

Am i the only one who noticed he kept changing the name of the last build from "Jill and Bobs" to "Jill and Bills" and then "Gill and Bobs" at the end?

[kerryiscol]

There was an opportunity to call it Jill and Rob's Bits and Bobs, and the dark secret is that Rob actually steals a majority of that stuff for his store.

I love how Joel and Mumbo were just reminiscing, then Joel is like, alright money laundering time!!

[lasercraft]

Mumbo's approach this season is DEFINITELY my style of building... Instead of one singular _massive_ base, its a bunch of smaller pieces that all connect together. Instead of stressing out about making a massive building, you can just focus on each individual piece of the puzzle. Its just SO GOOD! :D

[tanodrea]

Some lore for Big Ron’s being next to Boulder Bros, the “O” was knocked loose by the crane hitting the side of the building

Mumbo is always suffering from success
"I'm too rich!"

[greason]

I think a lot of what draws viewers towards mumbo and grian is the way they both constantly improve. Grian is learning redstone, mumbo is learning to build, and both constantly make little adjustments to their actual editing style to make it more pleasant for the viewer to watch the videos.

Back in s7, mumbo started putting both music and voiceover during timelapses instead of just one or the other after realising it made the video better, this season he realised that his videos tend to have black screens during transitions, forcing the viewer to see their reflection if watching on the phone and he made title cards to fix it.

Grian actively goes to other hermit's builds to figure out how to improve and how to make pallettes work better, also promoting that person's videos at the same time.
The willingness to learn makes not just individual videos, but watching them for long periods of time, extremely rewarding to see

"Etho is the kind of person that doesn't show much like positive emotion towards people..."
Me: "Hey that's not—" *in the middle of realization* "...I guess he is a little too laid-back."

I love what you're doing now Mumbo. One thing I would say is to use fence gates for the ladder instead of fences just because you get rid of that middle bit and it looks like there is a better place to put your feet with fence gates.

18:05 A platypus building? PERRY THE PLATYPUS BUILDING!
