Geologist VS Hermitcraft

In this Mumbo Jumbo Hermitcraft video, Catherine Mottram of the University of Portsmouth Geology department reacts to the mountains on the Hermitcraft server. Catherine explains how Minecraft mountains are made, If the Hermitcraft Boatem district is impossible, and tips for terraforming in minecraft.

A big thank you to Catherine and the University of Portsmouth for making this video possible, and a big thanks to Dave Gibbs for reaching out!

I like how she calls the mountains by the hermit's names.

I loved this video! Hermitcraft meets Education. Well done Bumbo and Catherine! More of this please!

OK, right this NEEDS to be an, albeit infrequent, regular thing.
Geologist Vs Hermitcraft,
Architect Vs Hermitcraft,
Engineer Vs Hermitcraft,
Historian Vs Hermitcraft,
Interior Designer Vs Hermitcraft,
Physicist Vs Hermitcraft...
This is really good lateral thinking. Truely novel and creative content.

Catherine: "Now this one looks the most realistic..."
Mumbo: "ight im out--"

[felixmorin-graue]

Geologist: You need to build a bigger mountain range.
Mumbo: Dying inside.

I love how excited she sounds while she’s talking about rocks, you can tell she’s genuinely passionate about how all of these things work

[baileyhung]

HAHAHAHAH LMAOO Mumbos soul was crushed when she called the mountains "small scale" after all the time, work and effort he put into it. Love the transition to him jumping off the cliff lol.

She looked genuinely happy and ecstatic to share her knowledge about geography. It's rather nice to see someone so passionate about a subject get to express themselves in a public manner.

Now we need "Electrical Engineer VS Mumbo's Storage System"

[dandymcgee]

Geologist: "You need a whole mountain range behind it feeding the waterfall."
Mumbo: "I just didn't finish the back."

God, everything about this video is wholesome: Hermitcraft meeting Education, community's welcoming and showing interest in geology, Catherine's response, Mumbo being Mumbo. Absolutely love this.

[bakin]

I would literally watch a 2 hour documentary with Catherine just talking about this it is so interesting

[JJF]

I love how professional and passionate catherine is and then mumbo just adds his little sparks of comedy piecing this video together perfectly

[Lord_Dino]

"Geology is awesome, rocks are awesome, Catherine is awesome" that is so wholesome

[DraiVlogs]

Talking about picking up rocks.
Catherine: “Look at what it’s made of!”
Me: “Hmm… this is made of rock.”

[mordechaisanders]

I love her gentle way of saying "yeah that's not realistic" or in her words "I'm not sure that's feasible"

[shadowflame]

Catherine: Talking about different kinds of stones, the way the builds resemble to the real world, ...

Mumbo: *_Stone_*

[derekbarrantes]

7:19 The fact that she said that it’s possible for the Mumbo-Grian-Scar mountain range to exist in Southeast Asia is really cool as I remember that Mumbo said that he was inspired a lot by stuff in the Philippines for his mountain.

This is actually a great way to teach Geology to people of all age groups! It introduces different types of mountains and rivers and even some rock types while still incorporating something fun and familiar to many people. :)

I just love that the most realistic mountain of the bunch, is the one with a ballerina cyclops in it.
