Joel: it was pretty quick only took about *2 and a half* hours

Me: gets bored after 5 minutes of building

[stinger]

It’s kinda sad that this is the *most* normal intro he’s ever done.

Btw I did see the chickens

In this video you find:
Joel roasting his past-self
Hermitcraft simping

[Raminatlons]

to think he used to think he used to take inspiration from the hermits and now he's actually in the server

Joel: saying his old builds are bad
Me: looks at my lopsided oak wood tower

[saturned]

Joel: **uploads**

*JEREMYS ASSEMBLE!*

[ultreane]

Joel: "Use everything"
Me who only has dirt in my inventory: So uh, dirt hut anyone?

Joel and Grian are the reasons I have improved lots in roofs and building in general. Thank you Joel.

[shoshz]

“Goodbye and hello” Joel this is my new catchphrase thank you

[kuma]

[luvrxiny]

"Goodbye and.. Well hello actually- and thank you"

1:25 its crazy Joel mentions both members of the Hermitcraft server and then PearlescentMoon, who he is now servermates with, *on* said Hermitcraft server. Pearl would have joined a year after this video was posted, almost to the day (Jun 19, 2021). I gotta imagine Joel is living his best MC life right about now. Also, thanks for the tips Joel they were very helpful

Joel: *kills chicken*
Kfc: that's where they all go
Joel and lizzie: *creepy smiles*

[Zeytrixx]

His Shrek skin will be missed by all of us. Now who is gonna be yelled out of his swamp?

Some more tips I’ve learned recently

*Use textured blocks before adding different blocks*: Don’t start with terra-cotta, start with brick or granite, then add terra-cotta and polished granite.

*Use gradients*: Put darker blocks on the bottom to create a gradient that shows a more natural worn look.

*Add trim and edging*: Use a different block on the edges, like what is shown on the roof and with the fences at the top. This can also be done with walls on the corners, or with roads use a different block from the road and sidewalk. Also, adding trim around doors will break up the build and make it look less plain.

*Layer details*: When making a flowerbed, start with leaves or y’all flowers, then add small flowers in front. My favorite combination so far is leaves, then red berry bushes in front.

*Add various custom plants*: When making palm trees, use different kinds, some with jungle logs that bend over, others with fences that stand upright. Bushy trees with hanging trees or for small trees like in cities, lollipop with oval/cone shaped trees.

*Sightlines*: Have a focal point that your build naturally faces or as you walk up to the build it should compliment the view. This will make screenshots of your build much nicer.

*Mix in non-full blocks*: Like with walls, other nonfull blocks break up a build and add detail. Fences, gates, stairs, slabs, glass panes, trap doors, anvils, and carpets are great additions to any build.

*Build at an angel or have rounded edges*: Even for modern builds, there can be a cool angled roof or room that makes the design more interesting.

*Add an interesting fence*: BdoubleO had an interesting fence/wall design for his mansion in Season 7, and in season 6 Keralis made a wall out of trap doors.

My favorite thing for making floors is using furnaces. The top is such a good texture to vary stone floors

Joel: "I'm lazy..."

Also Joel: *spends 9 hours to knock down a mountain, builds beautiful homes in more than two series, does youtube videos, and take care of two pets that love Lizzie more*

Me, who gets mad after building for 10 minutes: HOW DOES HE DO THAT!!!!

[yvh]

Joel : even diorite can look go-

Iskall : *No*

[George-jefs]

When it comes to medieval style. I personally love mythical sausage and bluenerd. They do great tutorials

"Don't be afraid to leave empty space on walls"
Man I really needed to just hear this. It's such a simple concept, but I never really think about it and just use windows all around my houses to make it look interesting from the inside and outside. Leaving empty walls gives you so many more options! Thanks, that one was really helpful
