Hermitcraft 9: Episode 42 – MY MINECRAFT BROKE

[sniffs] Yeah, do you smell that fresh Minecraft air? That’s right, I’m back and there’s a lovely surprise for me. Immediately. Mumbo? Now I’ve been away on holiday. I basically dropped an enormous chicken machine and ran for France but not even France could protect me from Doc.

So, it looks like he’s returned the favour. There’s a lot of chickens here. Weird. Ah. Yeah, Mumbo might be wanting an explanation. Any- Any ideas about this? [MUMBO] Is this your first time realising that your whole base is covered in chickens? [GRIAN] I’ve been hiding in France. I poked Doc

And then I ran to France. [MUMBO] Yeah, your base has been very full of chickens for the past few days. [GRIAN] That’s okay, I like it looking like this. [MUMBO] [laughs] I mean, I thought this was something that you’ve just added. Like you know, I’m never sure.

[GRIAN] No, I’m with my family. [MUMBO] About that poking Doc thing. Can we just like come this way quickly? I think we need to talk about something. [GRIAN] You got my sign, right? You saw the sign? The sign explained everything. [MUMBO] Yeah well I did, I mean it explained-

You know, it explained your emotions I guess at the moment that it happened. I’m kind of curious… So what has happened here? Is this- [GRIAN] I physically cannot explain how it happened but all I did was kill a zombie and then it blew up. That’s genuinely how that went down

And then- I don’t know if Doc was expecting me to to fix this but this is where- This is what I was left with here. I don’t know how to fix this! You know what? I’m off to France again. [GRIAN] I can’t. [MUMBO laughs] [MUMBO] Well, I mean that’s fine

Like the vault door is fine but can you explain the other stuff that blew up? [GRIAN] What other stuff? [GRIAN] What else blew up? [MUMBO] The other stuff! [MUMBO] It’s quite big to be honest with you, dude. Like, the vault door is kind of okay but I mean, I wouldn’t mind

Like a brief explanation of this area back here. [MUMBO] Yeah I mean… [GRIAN gasps] [MUMBO] I mean, the entirety of my base is gone. [laughs] [GRIAN] That wasn’t me! [MUMBO laughs] I mean… Are you sure it wasn’t rigged up at the same time? [GRIAN] Er…

[MUMBO laughs] It’s all gone when I logged in. [GRIAN] Did he? [MUMBO] And it was just gone. [GRIAN] Ah- Oh my- Oh my! And he left the farm. [MUMBO] Yeah that’s pretty- Doc’s pretty precise, I guess. So I guess he’s pretty good at that. [GRIAN] When I killed the mob,

I did kind of like run the other direction but I- I only saw the explosion of the- Dude! [MUMBO] Yeah, I expected kind of more of a sign to be honest with you. [BOTH laugh] [GRIAN] I expected more than a sign to explain this. [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] Ehm…

Have you got a flint and steel at all? Right well, I’m gonna relinquish this. [GRIAN] This is not best friend behaviour. [MUMBO] Ah no! AH! GRIAN! [GRIAN] It’s not best friend behaviour. [MUMBO] GRIAN! [GRIAN] It’s not best friend behaviour. I didn’t even know about this.

[MUMBO] I feel bad now, I feel bad, Grian. [MUMBO] I feel really bad now. [GRIAN] What? [MUMBO] I was joking, I blew up my own base. [GRIAN] Why would you do that?! [MUMBO laughs] Oh Grian! [GRIAN] I had the crown Mumbo! [MUMBO laughs] I wasn’t expecting you to react like that!

[GRIAN] I felt awful! [MUMBO] Do I have to take off my crown now? [GRIAN] I felt really awful I didn’t even know! [MUMBO] You can have my crown. You can have it if you want it! It’s a worse crown. [GRIAN] This is a tier 3 friend, Mumbo. [MUMBO laughs] I know.

[GRIAN] I already have a tier 3 friend- Oh. [MUMBO] You’re back. [GRIAN] I was so upset that I crashed the game. [MUMBO] [laughs] Wait did you- [GRIAN] I just crashed, I just like instantly crashed. [BOTH laugh] [GRIAN] It was like it manifested my mind like my mind was like stalling and crashing

And so it decided that Minecraft couldn’t handle it either. You did this! I thought I was going crazy! Because I swear I saw it! But I went on holiday and I just forgot- Oh my… Why did you do this? [MUMBO] I mean, there was two reasons.

Number one is I wasn’t like the biggest fan of my base. I had made it just a bit too small. Number two: I was so curious to see if I could pay a Hermit to blow up someone’s base without them knowing that I don’t like it. And Scar did it.

Scar actually did it- He said yes before I mentioned the diamonds. [GRIAN] So you got free demolition services? [MUMBO] Well no because he still took the diamonds. [GRIAN] I’m surprised you didn’t ask- I mean, I would’ve done it for free. [MUMBO] Yeah that- See

My plan was I wanted to ask people that it would be like a moral dilemma and that’s why I wouldn’t ask you. [GRIAN laughs] You knew what I was gonna say. [MUMBO] [laughs] Yeah. But Scar was a surprise. [GRIAN] You know, that’s- That’s a big relieve and I’ll be honest with you,

That crown wasn’t earned by me, I got it from Doc in that whole thing. All of it felt wrong. All of it felt wrong. And if I was responsible for blowing this up then I definitely don’t want the best friend crown. [MUMBO] Right okay okay.

Does this mean I get my crown back or are you keeping that one? [GRIAN] I’ve already got a tier 3 crown. They’re not worth much, Mumbo. It’s the best friend crown that’s important. Well I think that was the only one. That I’ve seen. So that- Okay, something about your base is crashing me.

[MUMBO] Something about my base? [GRIAN] Yeah so every time- Let me test, let me test. So if I go over here- [MUMBO] Is this like a new weapon created by Doc? [GRIAN] You know that this wasn’t me right? You know that I left the sign but you know it wasn’t me.

[MUMBO] Well yeah, I know that- Yeah because I looked underneath and there was bunch of diamond ore with redstone and that’s like Doc’s calling card. [GRIAN] And did Doc tell you he was gonna do this? [MUMBO] No. [GRIAN] He didn’t tell you that he was gonna blow- [MUMBO] It’s the funniest thing.

[GRIAN] If he had done this out of not diamond ore he could’ve you know, said it wasn’t him but there’s just no way. It’s like he signed this “Doc was here”. [MUMBO] Yeah yeah, literally. [GRIAN] See, I feel like this is probable cause for you to

Blame Doc and I’ve been having some issues with Doc, Scar’s been having some issues with Doc. I mean, I can just write your name down in this book of people that might be upset. You know. I’ll make a book. Yeah, a little upset book. [MUMBO] I mean, I’m mildly upset.

I would describe myself as “mildly” to- I mean what’s past mildly? Is there anything past mildly? [GRIAN] Miffed. [MUMBO] I don’t know what comes after mildly. [MUMBO] Miffed! I’m miffed upset. [GRIAN laughs] [BOTH laugh] [MUMBO] I’m absolutely miffed upset. [GRIAN] So we’ll get together with Scar

And maybe we’ll be a little upset together. Mildly miffed. [MUMBO] We’ll be mildly miffed together. Do we need to like- Do we need to come up with an animal? [GRIAN] Yeah we need an animal. [MUMBO] We can talk about that. [MUMBO] That’s something that we can talk about-

[GRIAN] For now, I just put your name down in the book. [MUMBO] Yeah, you don’t need to go that far just yet. Alright, this is exciting and I’m also slightly nervous and terrified. [GRIAN] Noo. Starting a fight with Doc is never, never been a problem.

You’re probably gonna lose more than a door. [BOTH laugh] [GRIAN] There’s quite a few more chickens than I anticipated and it may not look like that much until you look down. I don’t even know how he got them here. Did he- Did he bring these ones or did he just spawn new ones?

Anyway, I found a technique that feels highly unethical. This is like the cruelest thing. Look. Aw… Because it- Ah I’m so sorry. Okay, let’s do the big ones. Oh look, there’s the clicking. Oohhhh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh this is- This is gonna be so bad. [lots of dying chickens noises]

Oh my- Well, at least it’s repairing my stuff. I am surrounded by shame. [gasps] Oh my goodness. They’ve spread everywhere. They’re all under the base. They’re all everywhere! I mean the future- Okay, I’m kind of getting a taste of my own medicine now. There’s no way there’s nearly as many

As I put in Doc’s base. I mean, as the man in the chicken costume put in Doc’s base. But you know, this technique is pretty effective. It’s not gonna take me too long to clear these out. This is a chest that our feathered friends should never see. Wait wait wait wait wait.

You can- You can write on the back of signs?! [MUMBO] Yeah no I literally- So this just happened. This has happened. I was walking up my stairs and then I clicked and just put an “S” there and I was like “Have I written off like Grian’s sign?” and then I realised-

I was like “Hang on a minute!”. [GRIAN] I wasn’t actually just reading that. [laughs] [SCAR laughs] [MUMBO] Guys, leave my sign alone! [SCAR] That was really fun. [MUMBO] What did it ever do to you? [SCAR] It’s done everything. [GRIAN laughs] [SCAR] Oh no, Grian’s in! Grian’s in! [MUMBO] Ah! Leave it be!

Leave it be! I will not take this vandalism. [GRIAN] This is graffiti of the highest order. Wait you can write on the happy face, unhappy face back of signs now sub to Grian. [MUMBO] We’ve discussed this at length. [GRIAN] We’re all here because we poked the goat and the goat poked back

And we wanna poke back again. The only one that’s kind of innocent here is Mumbo who just got his front door blown off for no reason so he’s the real victim here. [MUMBO] I am! Now my sign’s been vandalised but I’m willing to let that pass

Because I feel like the two people I’m about to go into an alliance with were the people that vandalised my sign! [SCAR] Wait, there’s an alliance? [GRIAN] Oh yeah yeah. [SCAR] I might have missed something when I was yawning. [SCAR] Take down the goat? [GRIAN] Yeah, remember those chickens we-

[GRIAN] Well, some of them made their way back to my base somehow and… [MUMBO] I’m a vegetarian. This is awful! [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] I mean, I have no clue. All I know is that my door’s been blown off. That’s all I know. [GRIAN] Well anyway, the perimeter poses quite a threat.

Shall we go and investigate? [MUMBO] Yeah so what is the- Okay look, I feel like we need to like maybe recap a little bit here so. My door gets blown off. I don’t understand how that happened but it turns out, Grian exploded it but it was Doc’s fault.

[GRIAN] It was Doc’s fault and Scar got a load of wither skulls in his base. We’ve been banned from the perimeter, I’ve got a load of chickens and he broke both our portals. [MUMBO] Yeah, so that’s a lot. [SCAR] Wait, he broke your portal? [GRIAN] I was okay just

I was vibing up until the point he messed with your door via me like you don’t mess with the whole friendship thing, right? [MUMBO] No, no I agree there. I absolutely agree and so we’re- So we’ve all been wronged. [GRIAN] Yeah. How do you defeat a goat?

[SCAR] You push him off a cliff. [GRIAN] What’s the predator? They’re notoriously good at staying on cliffs. [MUMBO] Yeah, that’s like their one thing, Scar. [GRIAN] That is like their one thing. [MUMBO] Scar you- You mentioned the one thing that they’re really good at. [GRIAN] They’re really good at standing on cliffs.

[MUMBO] Staying on cliffs, yeah. [SCAR] Fine! Just carry on! Carry on, I’ll just listen to you guys. It’s fine. [MUMBO] I mean like eagles? Eagles are pretty responsible for- for killing goats I think. [SCAR] We poison his grass [MUMBO] Yeah we could poison, poison. [GRIAN] Poison? Let me check.

[MUMBO] Is there anything that is poisonous for a goat? [GRIAN] Plants… Poisonous… [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] How many people look this up? You know the little yellow flowers? Buttercup? [MUMBO] Yeah, you’re stood right next to one. [GRIAN] They are- [laughs] They are poisonous to goats. [MUMBO] So we could be the buttercups?

[GRIAN] [laughs] We can be the buttercups if you want. [MUMBO] That sounds like a- [laughs] That sounds like a 60’s psychedelic band. [GRIAN] It’s definitely like the the least threatening plant on this list. It’s like a beautiful little yellow flower and so I’m happy to be a buttercup.

[MUMBO] I’m happy to be a buttercup. [GRIAN] And take down the goat. [SCAR] I’m so excited to be a buttercup. [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] I want to be a buttercup. [MUMBO] We’re a bunch of buttercups over here. [GRIAN] Yeah, little group of buttercups. [MUMBO] Little group of buttercups. [SCAR] Who’s a cute little buttercup?

[gasps] Wow! Is that a buttercup? [GRIAN] It’s not quite a buttercup but it’s yellow. It looks poisonous. And and and and we can always greet each other by saying What’s up, buttercup? [ALL laugh] [MUMBO] Yeah! [MUMBO] Yes! [SCAR] ♫ What- what- what’s up buttercup ♫

[GRIAN] Okay, we’re definitely setting up camp here. Mm yeah let’s just set up camp here, I think we’ve had- this is the best meeting ever. We’ve formed a group, we’ve come up with a name, like what else do you expect? Like this is how meetings go. [MUMBO] Yeah.

[SCAR] This is the most efficient meeting I’ve ever been apart of. [MUMBO] Yeah yeah. I mean, yeah. [SCAR] Excited to call everyone buttercup? [GRIAN] I mean, that’s the most exciting thing about this. [MUMBO] Can we get outfits? Can we get nice like floral like 1960’s outfits with bandanas and things?

[GRIAN] I’m just thinking, I’m just thinking. What does it look like- What does it look like if we have just some eyes peering over the top into the perimeter? [MUMBO] I mean, yeah that’s quite a cool idea. [GRIAN] Just so he knows. [SCAR] I like this.

[GRIAN] Just so he knows that we’re watching. [SCAR] This one is one block taller. [MUMBO] It’s fine. It’s fine. [GRIAN] It happened again. [MUMBO] I know, I could see. I think it’s to do with falling sand, you know. [GRIAN] Could be. [MUMBO] Look.

[GRIAN] No no, I’m glad I decided to make this out of falling sand. [SCAR & MUMBO laugh] [MUMBO] Now if you’re saying something annoying, I can just- [GRIAN] No! No! [MUMBO] Okay. [GRIAN] This is an incredible power you have been gifted and I urge you-

I urge you to use it well. [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] I cannot figure out- I can’t figure out why this is happening but it is happening, falling sand crashes- Noo! Do you have any idea how long it takes to get Minecraft loaded? [MUMBO] Okay, do not worry.

I’ve told him that we can’t do it. We did- I just said, we can have like a top tier level strat here because if you’re ever in danger, we can just drop a piece of sand and you can just be like whooop! [GRIAN] You have no idea how annoying it is.

Scar, I see it in your hand. [MUMBO] No he’s- Yeah. Watch yourself Scar, otherwise… [SCAR] I put it away. [GRIAN] I mean, the other thing is if the conversation gets boring or if Scar starts yawning. I have a- No!! Alright buttercup. [SCAR] Grian, I gave away my shovel and the concrete powder.

[MUMBO] Yeah yeah yeah, it’s all been confiscated. Look, I know we said that we have had a very efficient meeting. I do feel like things have gone sideways. [GRIAN] Things definitely went south on this new discovery. [MUMBO] [laughs] Yes.

[GRIAN] I feel like now that we’ve got it out of our system, we can just let it sit, alright? Everyone has got their kryptonite. It turns out mine is falling sand. [MUMBO laughs] Anywhere in the local area if there’s a piece of falling sand. [GRIAN] I’m off.

[MUMBO] Your Minecraft is just like Oh! That’s a bit too much! [GRIAN] I wanna stress that before I went on holiday there was nothing wrong. I’ve come back from holiday, nothing’s changed except falling sand now hurts me. [MUMBO] [laughs] That is such an obscure bug. [GRIAN laughs]

[MUMBO] But it’s so funny. [SCAR] And you made it! This is like, you made these eyes and you literally can’t touch these now. [MUMBO] Yeah, these can’t be removed. You do realise as soon as Doc is removing these, you’re gonna crash. You’re gonna know when they’ve been removed. [GRIAN] It’s an early alarm.

Alright, shall we actually go and see what this looks like? [MUMBO] Can I just check something? Can I see how far- Can I just quickly check the range? [GRIAN laughs] [MUMBO] Can I just quickly see how far away- [GRIAN] It’s so annoying to crash!

[MUMBO] Please? Just once. [SCAR] It’s for science, buttercup. [GRIAN] Alright alright. [MUMBO] Please, buttercup, please. [GRIAN] Fine alright, buttercup. You go out of render distance for the first one. [SCAR] Oh no. [GRIAN] Nooo! That’s quite a range. [MUMBO laughs] I was just saying, we could set up a redstone clock with a piston

[MUMBO] and a piece of sand. [GRIAN laughs] Nooo! [GRIAN] I’d never get back on the server! [MUMBO] You’ve been soft kicked from the Hermitcraft server. [GRIAN] Guys guys guys, lets- Look, I’m gonna put on my disguise so that I can go back in the perimeter.

Let’s go and see what this looks like at least. [MUMBO] Okay okay. [GRIAN] If we can keep our sand in our pockets for like five minutes. Let’s see what this looks like. That’s- That’s pretty good. [MUMBO laughs] [SCAR] What is? [GRIAN] Do you see they eyes?

[MUMBO] Do you reckon it needs some eyebrows? [SCAR] Oh! [laughs] [GRIAN] It definitely needs some eyebrows. [MUMBO] And is that where we’re gonna set up the base as well? [GRIAN] Yeah, that’s where we’re gonna set up camp. That’s buttercamp. [MUMBO] Buttercamp, okay cool yeah.

[GRIAN] I’m gonna set up a little tent and a camp and this is gonna be where we live now. [MUMBO] What is that buttercup song? I’m trying to think what it is. [SCAR] We can make up a buttercup song. ♫ Oh butter, oh butter, oh butter you- ♫ [GRIAN laughs] You are abusing

[GRIAN] the power- [MUMBO] He’s not here, he’s not here. [GRIAN] Alright, that was easy. We’ve free flowed a few tents. Look at camp buttercup. [SCAR] Oh my gosh. Look at how beautiful they are. [GRIAN] It’s adorable. [MUMBO] It’s actually really cool. [GRIAN] If Doc takes this down,

He’s officially the bad guy in all of this. [MUMBO] Yeah. [SCAR laughs] [SCAR] You can’t stop a flower. [GRIAN] Oh and I’ve got something that finished this right off. Look at this. [MUMBO] It’s the Hotguy thing. No okay yeah. [GRIAN] It’s a sniffer egg.

[GRIAN] This- This beautiful creature. [SCAR] I’ve never seen one of these. [GRIAN] This will be our mascot? Our pet? Our weapon? [GRIAN] Whatever. [MUMBO] Our weapon? [MUMBO] Wait. [MUMBO] Is it- Okay, yeah I’m on board for it. [GRIAN] They’re pretty loud. [MUMBO] That is true actually, yeah they are really, really loud.

[GRIAN] Right, I’m gonna have a little look at your base. Mumbo’s lovely tent. [MUMBO] Don’t go inside! [GRIAN] Oh! [laughs] [SCAR] What’s in here? [MUMBO & GRIAN laugh] [SCAR] I’m gonna point out the floor makes this look like this is the toilet. [MUMBO & GRIAN laugh] [MUMBO] Look alright. Look.

You two, you guys are great builders and everything like that, you have no idea how much energy I spend. [GRIAN] Scar! Yours is so pretty in here. [MUMBO] Wow, this is lovely. [GRIAN] I’m gonna- oh. I can’t add petals in- [SCAR] Oh Grian, look at this. Look at the artwork, Mumbo.

Look at the artwork! [GRIAN] I wanna say that wasn’t me. [MUMBO] This is good, this is good. [MUMBO] I’m feeling a little bit inadequate here. I mean, look, you have no idea how embarrassed I was as I was building my tent. I’m kind of proud of how it came together.

[GRIAN] Everyone’s tent looks amazing. Everyone is a beautiful buttercup. I love this. This is the cutest campsite I’ve ever seen and we’ve even got a little board here for our notices and just three little buttercups minding their own business. [MUMBO] Yeah, that’s the only notice that we need. Currently anyway.

[SCAR] Very cute. [GRIAN] So yeah, I’m- We’ve achieved a lot today. We’ve build a little camp, we’ve- [MUMBO] Yeah, formed an alliance. [GRIAN] Formed an alliance. [MUMBO] Given ourselves a name and we’ve written on the back of some signs. [GRIAN] [chuckles] Yeah. [MUMBO] I’d say it is a job well done.

[GRIAN] It is a job well done. Buttercap? [MUMBO laughs] [GRIAN] Buttercap? [SCAR] What? [GRIAN] Buttercup. Oh this one says buttercup. Buttercup Scar’s tent. Buttercap Scar’s tent. [SCAR] Oh shoot. [GRIAN] Wait what? What did you do? What did you do? [SCAR] We’re making new rules.

This is a new rule here, Grian, on this sign. [GRIAN] No friendly fire in the camp. [laughing] [MUMBO] I’ll do some work on finessing this sign a little bit so it matches up a little bit better than the other ones but- [GRIAN] What does that mean? That means no dropping sand.

Why did I crash? What did you do? [MUMBO] Scar dropped some gravel because you pointed out his spelling mistake. [GRIAN] Right. [SCAR] I had it in my inventory. [GRIAN] No gravel, no sand, [GRIAN] no falling blocks [SCAR] You know what happens if you can’t make a rule? [GRIAN] No!

[MUMBO] It was a spelling mistake, alright? You don’t have to- [GRIAN] What’s the consequence for friendly fire? Because that was immediately friendly fire. [MUMBO] Yeah, he did do that immediately. [GRIAN] Yeah so we need some consequences here. This alliance is falling apart so quickly! [SCAR] You can push me into Doc’s hole.

[MUMBO] Yeah. [GRIAN] Yeah. [MUMBO] Or maybe- [SCAR] You can punch. [GRIAN] Good, wait is he? Is he just gonna- Oh. [MUMBO] We’re so bad at this. [SCAR] There we go. [MUMBO] Seriously. [MUMBO] How are you gonna get your stuff, dude? [GRIAN] Yeah, have you thought this through? [SCAR] Pfff…

Watch this, watch this, watch this. Oh no no no no! [MUMBO] I think he did it. [GRIAN] Yeah he did it. [MUMBO] We seem to be getting close. [GRIAN] Did you know that they called them baby sniff- Oh there we are! They’re called snifflets. [SCAR] Oh look how cute it is!

[MUMBO] It is very, very cute. [GRIAN] And now it’s even cuter! xX_GoAtEaTer_Xx [laughing] [GRIAN] Destroyer of goats. [MUMBO laughs] The noises it makes are horrendous. Well this has been a wondrously- This has just been chaotic. I would describe this as chaotic actually. I was gonna say efficient

And I was gonna say it has gone well. [GRIAN] Do you think that this is threatening? [MUMBO] Super threatening, yeah. I’m scared, I’m scared out of my wits. [GRIAN] You think Doc’s gonna be scared? [SCAR] Well, first of all this is gonna knock his socks off. Wasn’t expecting this.

He’s gonna come at the camp, he’s gonna look at this and then he’s gonna see Hotguy’s face and he’s like pff can’t mess with him. [GRIAN] And then he’s gonna see xX_GoAtEaTer_Xx and he’s gonna run. [SCAR] Yeah, he’s gonna run. [MUMBO] Definitely yeah. [SCAR] It’s gonna growl at him like [growls]

[GRIAN] Well, we’ve got ourselves a rather beautiful buttercup camp and… Oh oh oh oh. There we go! Phew! I almost got caught there. I also added each of our eyes in great accuracy so that we can keep an eye on what’s going on. From here it looks pretty good. It looks pretty good.

While I clean up the rest of these chickens, I’m just gonna do a quick reminder for my signed TCG card. There is a link in the description and the pre-sale ends at the end of July. So they won’t be available after then and remember, they ship in December 2023 or beyond.

I’m super excited to get my hands on the cards and I’ll probably do a livestream or something of the signing process. But for now, that is the end of the episode and I shall see you in the next one. And no, I haven’t figured out why falling sand is making me crash.
