Hermitcraft 9: Episode 40 – SNIFFERS AND DRAGONS

Welcome back to the next episode of Hermitcraft. Today we are not in our own base because we have to make Zedaph earn this here dragon egg. It’s like gold dust. Now I am thoroughly going to get back at Zedaph for his comments on my base which he said “didn’t look very clean”

After the big tidy up that we did. Now why are we in Doc’s base? Well, we’re gonna make Zed do a little bit of a treasure hunt. So this is where we’re going to have his first clue and I’m going to lead him to it. And we’re gonna start off

By making Zedaph an enemy of the perimeter. [laughs] If you want the dragon egg, you must prove your bravery. Do it. And I can’t think of anything more brave than blowing up something in Doc’s base because I’ve done it and it scared the heck out of me.

Admittedly, I didn’t do it on purpose so good luck Zedaph. And then we’ll put the clue behind here. So the first clue here- I’m just making this up as I go along. I’ve got to get this together fairly quickly because the last thing I’m going to make on this treasure quest

Is gonna be quite elaborate so the clues and all the rest of it have to be as quick as possible. Grab a cup of milksog. Now if you don’t know what milksog is, I don’t blame you because it’s a very obscure part of season nine. And see what they sell.

Okay, so we put this back. So let’s assume that Zed has followed the egg trail and they’ve ended up here, they’ve blown this up, they’ve gone through and they’ve seen the milksog. I’ll be really impressed if you know what milksog is. Do you know what? I can’t remember exactly

What milksog is but I know it exists. Now, it’s something inside Bdubs’ cafe and what I really want to happen is for Zed to go on Discord with the rest of the Hermits and ask “What is milksog?”. There it is, the home of milksog. Milksog, two diamonds.

Now what I’ve said is “check what else they sell”. So what I’m gonna do is rename an egg to the next clue. And do you know what? I’m actually gonna donate an enderchest because there isn’t one here and I’m going to buy the rest of the packed mud. Actually being here

And hearing the shulker boxes, this is where I’m gonna send him next. Alright, I’ve got very limited space so I’m going with “find the place where shulkers are partying”. which is under here. This might be quite a difficult challenge. I might even add another little clue just in case.

I’m gonna add another one here. “find the place where the shulkers are partying” “you can hear them while you shop. That is definitely The Entity. I didn’t want him going to a shulker shop or someone’s shulker farm. Now the reason I want to send him this way

Is because it’s actually so ridiculously dangerous in here and… well, I want him to earn this dragon egg. I just realised that making something in here might be a little bit difficult. How do I do this?! How do I design a clue with all this going on? [laughs] Er…

My genius idea isn’t so genius. Alright, we’ll just put it here because he’ll definitely find his way here. I- I’m unable to do much here. I wrote “it’s bery dan-gerous anmd- anmd difficult to clu go back to- Okay where is he going back to? I haven’t decided where he’s going back to.

I got it! I got it! I got it! Go back to- I actually need to get up there. Go back to oh! – your rocky origins. Promised I never was gonna go back in there and here I am. Right, Zed will have fun with that. I created The Entity

And lived in a boulder for a while and so did Zed but his boulder is a lot smaller. Now I am going to bet that Zed hasn’t been back here in a long time. “Zed’s humble boulder”. You have come so far from your humble beginnings. Now you must look for the odd trophy…

Innings? Rhyming is hard but I’m still a bard. Nailed it! Alright, I’m gonna stop there. The odd trophy innings is maybe a little bit non specific but I’m hoping that he’ll realise that it’s something to do with his trophies in his hallway which happens to be over here.

Now hopefully he’s not home right now. He is actually on the server so I’ve been dicing with fire as I always do. We just need to take a little peek. We’ll wait for him to get off the server to do this one because I don’t wanna risk it

But I just wanna check. Here it is! Here are the trophies and the odd trophy innings is gonna be- I’m gonna like edit the back of this. So this is where it’s gonna start. Your journey starts here, let the eggs guide you. We’re gonna point them this way

But there’s gotta be enough eggs for him to make sure we don’t get too lost. Wow! Doesn’t this look clean and tidy? And then we’re immediately gonna make him back track. We just took him for a little ride to appreciate how clean my base is because clearly he doesn’t think

That this is clean! Look at this! And then the final egg here leads back to where we started. Okay so, the circuit so far is he follows the eggs, the egg trail, all the way here, he then blows up the TNT, that sends him to milksog

Which I’m SO hoping he doesn’t know what it is. The milksog sends him under The Entity which sends him back to his rock which sends him back to his base. So he’s done a full circuit and that didn’t take me too long to put together.

Now I just need to wait for Zedaph to get off the server so that I can make this final treasure room and I may have recently watched Indiana Jones so definitely gonna take some inspiration from that and if he fails to acquire the egg,

There’s literally nothing I can do for him. [MUSIC] Shh! We’re ready. It’s all ready. I’ve tested it a few times but now I need to do the very last test and I stupidly have used sculk sensors as my method of activation which has gone wrong so many times.

I’m now a master at resetting this thing. So hopefully all I need to do and we’re gonna do a quick run through, this last run through to make sure it works because so much can go wrong. Alright, last- last one. So the clues obviously lead Zed here,

He then jumps up here and finds the one that’s not like the others. Bish bash bosh. He creates a sound… Waa! That creates a sound. It then starts the big clamper which he has to then crouch through and get clamped a good few times. Even if you stand here, there’s no damage.

This is- I don’t know why- This should really hurt more, shouldn’t it? It does emotional damage. Then there’s a small maze and then we get to the big real deal. This is the thing, this is where it can all go wrong as you can see. Well not really because

The actual thing is here. So I’ve supplied him with a redstone torch. If he wants the dragon egg, let’s make sure we have some space for it. This is the big- this is the big run, this is running away from the boulder. We have to be quite quick here. So if I

Place the torch, grab the egg, uh-oh I hear lava. Ah! Owwoo! I think I’ve got the timing just right. As long as he realises in time I did it. I think that timing is perfect. If his reactions are good then he should make it out there. And if he doesn’t, that’s the game.

If he doesn’t make it out, he loses the egg. He could very well die in lava. Hey! That worked! That worked! That’s the first full play-through I’ve done of this and it’s actually gone and worked. If I’ve done my job right, this sign should send Zedaph

In the right direction and he should end up with a lovely dragon egg. I’ve messaged him to get on and to read that sign. If everything goes well, I’m gonna get a Discord message asking what milksog is. Alright, we’re here with our camera account to supervise this

Because so many thing could go wrong. I have just done a quick double check downstairs. Everything is still here. He’s on his way. [gasps] Oh no. Oh no, it’s up there. He’s gonna go right under it. Oh no! I just assumed he was gonna fly.

Do you know what? It’s pointing in that direction anyway he should come across the next one if he’s lucky. Right, what do you think about that? He’s following it quite literally but it’s working so far. The big challenge. Is he gonna be able to get to Doc’s base when he gets here?

That’s- that’s not part of it! Zed, that’s not part of it. Does he see me? That’s not- That’s not me. That’s a coincidence. That was- That was that guy! Do not fall down. Yes, that means fly! Alright, if you want the dragon egg, you must prove your bravery.

Do it! How brave are you, Zed? Are you gonna mess with the goat? No one’s here, he’s not online. There’s no one here. He can’t see you. He’s gonna come back and fix this, I know it. He did it! Yes Zed! Yay! I can’t believe he just-

You can’t believe that he’s done this. I guarantee you I’m gonna get a message that says “what is milksog?”. [laughs] He’s asking on the server, Does anyone know where I can get a cup of Milksog from? [laughs] I just wanted him to ask people- [laughs] Look, everyone’s confused.

There’s only like three people who know what milksog is. Ladies and gentlemen, after five minutes Zedaph has asked “Anyone know what a cup of milksog is?”. There it is! And we’re off! Okay, he got the answer. Cleo somehow knew that milksog is at Bdubs’ coffee shop.

He’s opened this barrel like four times. Oh okay, I think he’s actually found it now. This is- This is stressful. I’m just watching this and it’s stressful. He knows where the shulkers are partying. Maybe I should’ve made it clear you got to break in. Yeah okay good good, he’s broken in.

Now he’s got to find it. Oh! Oh he found it straight away! Straight away! Oh he’s not gonna get away with that. It’s bery dan-gerous and difficult to clu. Go back to your rocky origins. Oh he didn’t get hit by a- I had such a hard time with that

And he just breezed in like nothing happened. Right, he’s reading the clues. He may not get this one. This one is maybe a bit obscure. But hopefully he just goes to have a look at his trophies. He’s even having another read of it. Alright, maybe he does know? There we go.

That one there, look at the sign. Please look at the sign. Look at the sign! Zed, look at the- No Zed! Look at the sign! Alright, here we go. He didn’t read the sign! This could all go very wrong. Yeap, it doesn’t hurt. There’s no pain here. Slow and steady wins the race.

There it is. Alright, here he goes. The moment of truth. Take the key. Oh man, if this goes wrong… Please make it out of here with the egg in tact. The more I think about it, the more convoluted and weird this whole thing was. There it is! Go! Run Zed! Run! [laughs]

[laughs] [sings Indiana Jones theme] Yes Zed! Ah! He did it! Oh he was quick getting out of there. He was quick. He made it! That was just- There’s just some cobble in there. [ZED] I did it! I got it! [GRIAN] You did it! [ZED laughs] [GRIAN] I was watching, you did it!

[GRIAN] Congratulations. [ZED] Is my hair still there? Is it singed? [GRIAN] No yeah, it was close. Not as close as I thought it was gonna be but it was close. [ZED] Oh! It was raining- I thought the corridor is so long but luckily it was like staggered like as I was running.

[GRIAN] It’s almost like I spend all day- Hey, you did it, you got the egg. Congratulations, that is now yours. Don’t give it to the museum guys. The server is now on 1.20 so let’s go and explore some of the new features. Some of this was done live

Which is why I’m talking to the chat. Aha! Suspicious. What is it? What is it? It’s a- It’s a- Smells interesting? [gasps] No way! Straight away? Straight away we got the egg?! How rare is that? Is that easy? Is that easy to find? Am I celebrating over nothing?

I feel like I’m probably celebrating nothing right now. Is there gonna be another one? What was that? What did we get? We got a sherd. A sherd. Let’s get a bed from somewhere. Sorry fella. Imagine just like you just go into someone’s house and all you take is the bed.

So like forget the wallet, forget all the items someone just stole your single bed. Aha! Ahahaha! Oh! Hello! Smithing template. There was a smithing template in there. Wild armour trim. Nice! Oh perfect. Perfect perfect perfect. Now that is what we need. I am guessing one of my pottery shards

That I don’t have what I need. I think I need silk touch, don’t I? I think you need silk touch on the shears. I have a sneaky suspicion just a sneaky one that I need silk touch on the shears which I definitely cannot do right now.

See this is why you should never listen to chat. Okay? This is why I should never- I’m never listening to you every again. I’m never ever listening to you ever again. You do need silk touch. I knew you needed silk touch! You’ve just lost all cred- I apologise profusely. I apologise so much.

I am sorry. I will listen to you all the time. You are always right and never wrong. Okay? Let’s act like nothing has happened. Let’s just pretend that nothing just happened. Alright? Right, we got cobwebs. So if we do come across some suspicious gravel, we can get some. We can bring some home.

We have found what we’re looking for. This is what we were looking for. A bit that sticks out with a bit of terracotta. Now we’re not actually gonna be digging all of this suspicious gravel. We’re actually gonna try and harvest some of it. So we’re gonna dig around it for a little while

And we’re gonna take some of this suspicious gravel home. There is a method. There’s a couple of methods but this one’s by far the easiest. No! All you need to do is place a couple of cobwebs underneath the suspicious gravel and let it fall and give it enough time

It will break and then you can gather the suspicious gravel. This is a very slow and painful method so… There’s another method to do this with bubble columns but it’s a lot longer to set up in my opinion. You’ve got to get all the water stuff going, you need far less items.

See look! That’s easy. Easy. I think this is by far the easier method. And then… Look at that! Suspicious gravel vanilla Minecraft. Hopefully you learn something today. So what I really wish you could do is take like- Imagine if this normal gravel is suspicious gravel, I wish we could take this

And then we could take an item. Let’s say I want for some reason to put this kelp in here, right click the kelp into that block so that I can make my own archeological digs elsewhere for other players on the server to enjoy. Pottery shard! Okay!

Finally we got something we could take home. These dig sites are pretty big, aren’t they? If you break a couple or two it’s not the end of the world. There’s a lot of them. Alright, I think this one might be fairly out. It’s not important to me that we get- [breaking sound]

Awww! – two of them! It’s not important to me that we get every single one. Alright, we’re done here. That’s that. We got some suspicious gravel. We did pretty well there. So back to the cherry blossom hunt I guess. We did it! Adventure time! Discover every biome, we did it!

We did it! Ahhh! Oh the green of the grass is a different shade here. We’ll take some of this. This beautiful biome, I’m just gonna tear it apart. I do like the new wood. Pink is definitely a colour that has been lacking in Minecraft

In my opinion, it’s a nice addition. So these are the cherry planks. They’re- Oh! So they are pink. They are pink but they’re very pastelly light pink which is- It’s a nice shade. It’s a really nice shade. We’ve come back with goodies. Most importantly we have a sniffer egg.

So we’re gonna place that… Where should we place that? Let’s place it somewhere in sight. Maybe we’ll place him here. [gasps] There he is. There’s our sniffer egg! Oh what are we gonna- What are we gonna call him? Can I put flowers on it? We’ll summon the sniffer.

It doesn’t break. Just doing the break test. Shall we do a really big break test? Right, the turtle eggs they smash if you- Yeah they smash so let’s see if this smashes. Nope. Made of pure rock. Okay, after our adventure we have a sniffer ready to be hatched

And I need a name tag. I need a name tag. Name tag. It’s not gonna be called “rare find”. You know what I’m gonna call him? You know what I’m gonna call him? I’m gonna call him- Maybe I’ll have one called “Snot” but this one is going to be called “Shnoot”. Shnoot shnoot.

Okay, I’m ready. I’m so ready to welcome you into the world, Shnoot. Ah! Ah! Oh! Ohh! No one told me that it’s a jumpscare. Oh! [laughs] Oh why- That scared the life out of me. Hello, welcome to the world. Schnoot. Hello Schnoot. You are so cute. [laughs] Okay ehm… Sniffer’s running animation:

Very, very funny. Right come on then. Look. Look at this. [laughs] Now that we’ve got these pink petals, we can do a bit of lovely decoration at our base, just a few few sprits of these petals will really make our base feel a lot nicer. Right, how do I make you

Do the schnoot thing. Your first name is also gonna be “Dwight”. Dwight Schnoot. [laughs] Okay and with that enormous progress we are gonna call that the end of the episode. We’ve managed to give Zedaph a dragon egg in a very creative way and we’ve explored some of the 1.20 things

In the form of a live-stream and we have introduced Dwight Schnoot to our little family here. I think the first mob of all. Ohh.
