Hermitcraft 9: Episode 7 – THE RIFT

How’s everyone’s mumbo withdrawals going mine not so good everywhere i look i’m reminded of him right welcome back to another episode of hermitcraft today we’re going to be making some progress after a fantastic episode involving april fool’s day but it’s time to get back to the grindstone and i think it’s

Time we took down the giant wall of copper that’s been nicely aging and various people have been writing on it currently says sub to cub again preaching to the choir already subbed cub let’s take this thing down and get cracking on today’s episode we’ve finally taken down the copper wall that

Surrounded mumbo’s vault the hilarious thing here is that mumbo didn’t even see it go up it’s gone up and come down in the same hey he left a hole here all the way to bedrock dangerous the copper wall has gone up and come down without mumbo even logging on in the

First place i think enough time has passed now that we can take a look at the april fool’s secret fools pranks without it being spoilers so scar got a cookie monster built by stress corrales got a corrales face you know that is that’s pretty cool that’s how you make a corrales house

More corrales pearl’s alien thing is being abducted or is it going home if it was already an alien is it just going home jevin had a giant green pig that’s incredible xp got a giant octopus holding a submarine of some kind looks like stress got hermit shire tea

That is a wonderful box of tea and a whole bunch more pranks that haven’t left such a visible mark obviously my one was all done underground oh and scar made a parody version of tango’s game from season seven decked out he made a little version actually helped him acquire the

Ravager for this thing it was uh what a project look at this this is just for a prank so all in all i think that was a highly successful event okay so what are we going to be doing today well i think today we should go and have a

Look at our villager trading center because we need to pick up some blocks that are going to be used for our main face that’s right we’re going to be taking a look at starting the big base the big ol rock hey oh this has been covered up why are all the villagers

Covered up please tell me they’re still alive in here okay yeah they’re still here earth is going on well me and scar have been using the are we we’re inside a building of some kind can i take a look oh my goodness okay that makes sense they’re covered up because scar has

Turned it into a ship the platform has become an enormous boat that is so cool i re i can okay i understand now he’s worried that he hasn’t spawn proofed every inch of this place because all it takes is one block to not be a slab or not be carpet

Covered and this thing is to spawn a raid right where we don’t want it and then if a raid spawns that means that the villagers are in danger but they’re still here i’m not going to touch this until scar gives me the go-ahead that this is complete but scar and i have

Both been trading a lot so we’ve got a decent amount of terracotta which i am going to immediately take the benefit of i’m going to need to redye it but all of these terracotta blocks are going to be 100 necessary for the big rock now if we

Fly over to where my base is planned to be what on earth is going on in here i actually don’t know what to say i genuinely have no words and that’s that’s odd because i usually have a lot of words i feel like i’m in a summoning circle for something well anyway

Glad that zed asked my neighbor if we go over to where i’ve marked out my spot which is just here we can start making some progress now as tidy and neat as my base is back over there and fortunately we’re really not too far away from the spawn area

I am uh going to quickly just resort to being back to a chess monster i’ll be honest with you i’ve been really organized this season so well so far we’re we’re only uh we’re only seven episodes in but i have been fairly organized compare that to scar

Just saying me and scar have always been on par with our chest monsters in my opinion let me show you what scars situation looks like this is what you get with scar and this is what i’m normally like and this is what i’m basically gonna just do again so we’ve

Got an awful lot of setting up to do before we can even think about working on the base there’s uh so much to do we’ve got to clear out all these trees we’ve got to go and light up the caves underneath there’s a huge amount of work to do before we even can

Place the first block all of these trees they gotta go it feels kind of wrong saying that i want all these trees to go but they gotta go and let’s see what we’ve got to work with underneath okay we’ve got ourselves a big cave oh my goodness now these kind of diamonds are

So rare oh i picked it up just in time is there any one diamond in stone has become the rarest diamond to find because the majority of them are now covered in deep slate so i want to keep these stone diamond ores i guess they’re just more

Valuable so i’ve cleared out and lit up this cave here which is absolutely perfect it’s eerie there’s an element of mystery here and this is perfect because it’s just under the spot that i want to create now why is it important that i light up this weird cave

Well it’s because i’m searching for a weak point between worlds to create an energy for my build now i’m going to have to spend a little time unfortunately clearing out this water which i i mean i can’t tell you it’s clearing out water in minecraft is pretty horrific i’m not gonna lie but

This spot is directly underneath where i want to build the big boy base and in order to do that we definitely will be needing a beacon like so but before we get into a time lapse of endless digging and water collecting let’s head back to the base because

There is something i need to take a good look at here we are the hermitcraft easter egg hunt so we’ve got a little event happening on the server the objective is pretty simple we’re going to get a bunch of eggs that look amazing and we have to hide one of each

Of our eggs in our friend’s bases without them being found a little bit like tag we’ve got to hide them really really well in the at the same time everyone else that’s participating is going to hide their eggs in my base and you have to find the ones in your own

Base and the scoring is what’s left over i mean it’s it’s it’s not that complicated it’s it’s an easter egg hunt it’s gonna be a lot of fun and we sign up in here there we go and we are officially signed up the entrance fee one diamond block now

Why would scar make such a tempting tower look how ex i thought it kept going maybe we could just maybe we could make it to build height with that one diamond block and we are signed up so i believe the event actually starts tomorrow so in

The meantime we can go ahead and get back to the cave i need to go and get my sponges back wherever they’ve gone because we need to clear out all of this which is going to take quite a long time flatten this edge and we are going to

Create what this place really feels like which is a weak point between worlds so that’s what we’re going to create we’re going to flatten this edge we’re going to make a deep old cave and there’s going to be a big wibbly wobbly tiny whimey squirrely whirly purple thing are you ready let’s go So why have i gone and made a giant rift that has nothing to do with my actual base well this is kind of important for the story of my base i’ve said i wanted to improve my storytelling through construction and this is the basis of all of that and my

Goodness what a what an effect we all know the lovely glass effect you can see there’s multiple layers of glass that goes all the way and there’s black concrete all the way around you can see the effect if you get up close and then there’s glowstone you can kind

Of see the glowstone all the way at the back but when you take a step back you can see that well the effect goes really nicely why are there end rods in there well it it gives it like this sort of spacey effect but mostly it’s the only

Way to get light in there i could put glowstone around the edge and the glowstone at the back just doesn’t reach far enough so this is the only way to really light it up but i think nonetheless the effect is really really cool and you might be thinking is this

Gonna be your portal no actually this isn’t gonna be the portal this is a rift underneath the base i’ve got a different design for the portal and i’m sure this this cave will become something extra in the future as well so this is really i

Really like the way this has come out i kind of want to know what they’re talking about chat and just like that opening a rift in the cave here uh tango has released three withers as if they’ve just come through so he’s actually asked if we could give him a hand in the

Nether i don’t actually know where to meet him oh my goodness what’s happened to the cookie monster face that’s horrific also has anyone seen the ghasts that we let loose they’ve actually just flown off and i haven’t seen them in days right let’s go into the nether and

See if we can help out tango uh three withers three withers yes the cavalry has arrived thank you thank you what have you done if yeah i’m trying to make a mass wither killing machine where i can kill like hundreds and hundreds of withers and the first multi wither test didn’t work out

So well so ow ow ow he’s gone he’s gone there’s one down down there maybe we should retreat and regroup oh it’s out it’s out it’s loose this is this is this this is the most unwatchable thing i’ve ever seen like that he just can’t see anything ready for this winning kill

Got it i got three big hits on it last one there we go i’m never doing that again that was a strange detour from our episode today but three withers is not something you can handle by yourself and take a look at this for your assistance tango’s given me nine beacons

I don’t even need nine beacons i can’t think i’ve have i even used nine beacons on the entire time i’ve been on this series for four years i might have used a grand total of nine beacons i probably won’t even need these well that’s very generous nonetheless

I’ve even got the nether stars that i got from killing the withers tango you’re too kind i mean it like literally too kind i don’t know what to do with those things let’s head back quickly to where the base is over yonder and take a final look at this rift

Down into the hole okay so the rift is now complete it’s mysterious it’s ominous and who knows what’s going to come out of it so from here this thing is kind of influencing all of the area around my base and that is a good reason to get started

On the main thing although we’re not going to get lots of progress done in terms of actually building this thing there’s a lot of prep to do so we’ve got to take down all of these trees and we’ll come back to that in a second because the easter egg hunt that we

Talked about earlier is now in full swing so we can go and grab our easter egg basket and start placing them in people’s bases so i think we can go in here we can pick up our easter basket now i don’t even know if this is on purpose

Grains easter basket no one else no one else got their names spelt incorrectly who is this am i even in this grain okay let’s take a look inside here we are here is here it is on the next page you will see a list of hermits the first is to use as a

Checklist for hiding your eggs the second is to make sure you’ve found all the eggs in your base you have until the 17th of april to hide all your eggs so here are all the hermits that are participating this is quite an extensive list and look at these oh it’s so cute and

Kind of cursed i don’t think i’ve ever been happier little green eggs so we place these in people’s bases like this and then we can hide the item frames and it means you can hide them even like this on the side of walls it’s also a carved pumpkin which means i

Could put it on my head huh i want to keep i want to keep it do i have to hide these can i just can i just stay like this forever oh it’s a little me oh this is so cute this look it looks like i’ve got a man bun i’ve

Always wanted to grow a man bun i i physically can’t grow a man bun in real life my hair just doesn’t do it but from the back i have got a full-on hair bun excuse me while i go and order myself a pumpkin spice latte this is the best day

Of my life except maybe the day i got married no take it back best day okay who do we start with little gree i don’t actually know people’s bases well enough for this so if i do this yeah this is amazing we have a magic command that makes the item frames invisible

It’s like background forget poultry man i’m literally background now now am i settled on this how obvious is this you can see it if you look up from here but i wouldn’t say it’s particularly obvious i’ve also realized this is oh my goodness i can’t i can’t get over this i

Hope there’s a spare one for me i also realize i can’t really hide all of these on camera or you guys are gonna let the other hermits know exactly where these are which is a shame because i would like to be able to share some of these great hiding places with you

Is that too obvious that is really obvious but i i um yep no i already broke one forgot that i need an item frame i’ve already ruined it all right let’s put one in here there we go that is not super obvious at all and we

I’ve just checked the book and i just realized that ren isn’t even on this list so that was a waste of a hiding spot let’s actually do what we’re supposed to do and look at the list okay cleo i’m only gonna do a couple of these on camera oh

Man scar is gonna have so many eggs hiding in his tree that is something i never thought i would say i’d be surprised if anyone like doesn’t find an egg it’s like if you look long enough you’re gonna find all of these little nooks and crannies so there we go

They’re so cute oh this is gonna be such a fun little mini game seeing all these little these little my little children just running around they’re not they’re not running around there they’re sitting still and hiding it’s also going to be really difficult to hide eggs in my base because

Well this thing doesn’t even have an interior and this thing has very few places that you could hide 18 eggs in so i have a feeling you could use the entity as well i just don’t have that many spaces you can hide the eggs inside or outside so i

Might spend a little bit of time just making a quick interior to give the egg hiders at least a chance of hiding these eggs appropriately otherwise they’re just i’m just gonna see all of them pearl on the other hand looks like she’s got a lot of places you could hide an egg hi

I’m a psy what are you a sigh now the big now does the ufo count as pearl’s base i wanna say yes now this is cheeky does this count i feel like this counts i think this this is gonna count right it’s she she terrain this i can i can hide it on

The outside oh actually that’s super obvious you can’t see that no way does this work look this is pearl’s villager in order to find this you gotta go yes yes i i am loving every second of this okay this is the last one i’m gonna hide

On camera where can we hide the green man bun in zeddaf’s base everything’s really open so this is a bit of a challenge i think some bases like this are probably going to be like mine and this one they’re just going to be very very easy to find i think well this

Is technically accessible i don’t know what machine i’m in but this is technically accessible it’s inside the base and i it’s under underwater but i don’t think that’s a problem oh we i guess we could just place it here this may be the best option i have here

I i don’t think it’s going to be very obvious so the rest of these man buns are probably going to be done off camera just in case there’s a few blabber mouths out there what on earth is that ah and i shall return to the base where

I’ve got a lot of trees to start chopping down and real talk while we chop wood for a second i know that videos are a pretty sporadic schedule for me on the channel but what you’ve got to remember is that um i’m a human being and i also have a life so if

There’s if there’s a gap between videos it’s just because i’m i’m i’m having a life spent an awful lot of years sat in this computer chair and i would like to go out and enjoy myself sometimes so if there’s a bit of a gap between videos you can just uh

Smile and know that at least green’s having a good time and a break it’s uh really important it can be quite difficult to constantly churn out videos and it takes me a few days to make a video anyway so just just chill some some of the comments are absolutely ludicrous you

Know i haven’t uploaded in two weeks and there’s there’s people literally commenting saying you haven’t uploaded in two months three months 15 years i’ve seen it’s it’s it’s ridiculous so a little bit of patience would be very very very very appreciated on the channel i do what i can and i’m always

Thinking about the next video but for those of you that are patient and sticking around i really really appreciate you and of course i appreciate you watching this video and i think that’s probably a really good place to leave it we’ve uh we’ve managed

To get a good start on our base with the rift which is excellent we’re actually starting to set up and prepare for our main big base and of course we’ve started the man bun egg hunt so with that out of the way all there is left to say is thank you very

Much for watching i shall see you in the next video and good bye
