HermitCraft S7#17: 1.16 Nether Update

Hello everybody this is etho and welcome back guys to another episode here on the hermit craft server and boy I tell ya today’s a very exciting day lots of stuff is happening not only is the 1.16 update out now guys but I have discovered something amazing at the

Shopping district here you know I’ve been to a lot of theme parks in my lifetime I’ve been to Epcot’s Universal Studios Islands of Adventure Disneyland Busch Gardens I’ve rode the Goliath at Six Flags I’ve even been on the Raptor at Cedar Point guys amazing thrilling rides

So you can just imagine my shock and utter surprise to discover the most adrenaline pump and ride of them all does not exist at a theme park no no no it actually exists right here on the hermit craft server and I’m of course talking about XP horsey check this out

So you hop on you give a diamond Incredible speaking of llamas we actually got something check out at shady ease today guys you can probably see in the background there there’s been a few changes on the outside of the building so we built this a few episodes ago and honestly I’ve been blanking really hard

What to do with the exterior of it we just had a bunch of mycelium around a flat out here that’s cup Hey oh that scared me you scared me so bad ended up unintentionally right behind you the whole way here what you have to dub what’s going on in the cup light in

The cup world he’s got a sword out he’s gonna be doing some adventuring he’s doing nether stuff I bet you voting oh okay going for Joe as dogcatcher I uh huh only true position there is yeah the best choice honestly no other one there and he’s off

As soon as he came into our life he went off into the distance guys anyways let’s get back to it here so like I was saying as kind of blanking on what to do with the exterior of this build and then I got to thinking why don’t we put

Mushrooms outside here right didn’t make sense to put like grass and trees and and green plants out here because again we are in the shade so they should logically die right and so it’s like okay let’s do mushrooms and I tried some stuff out and I found like the brown

Ones didn’t stand out at all because we actually use mushrooms the brown mushrooms on the building and I found the red ones almost didn’t suit the color scheme you got there or they stood out a little too much so then I got thinking why don’t I make my own custom

Mushrooms and that’s where the pumpkins come in maybe a little bit of an odd choice but whatever I think it kind of works birch logs here to mimic the stock of the mushroom with some oak logs mixed in for a bit of texture and then I did something weird with the pumpkins it’s

Basically like custom trees with pumpkins instead of leaves which a little bit strange right and then I put a border all around this thing it’s pumpkins with trap doors on top and then I’ve got coarse dirt mixed in and dead bushes all over the place because again

Stuff shouldn’t live in the shade right panda guards in front of the building and half blocks instead of mycelium because I think that color suits the area better there have been some interesting suggestions in the comments on the on the videos here about what to do about the scales at Shady easier

Because again this represents our business model we got to follow what it says and lately it’s been all about the money right the business ethics are way up there money is way down here and the ethics are getting ignored you know and the concern is like we’re gonna lose all our

Customers if we don’t bounce those out at some point the real problem we have though is how do we represent the ethics on this side of the scales like money is really easy to represent with diamonds but ethics aren’t really a physical thing so what do we put over here I

Don’t know like maybe we can cheese it with something heavy like dirts dirt might do it like a ton of dirt weighs a ton it’s a really heavy thing I think diamonds weigh a lot too because that’s like compact compressed carbon right this is like this isn’t even

Coming close yeah this is a tricky one I’m trying to think what’s actually heavier than diamonds and the only other thing I can think of is maybe anvils and those are made of iron pretty heavy stuff that gonna do it no it’s still not enough okay okay this

Is so obvious I don’t know why it took me so long to figure it out why are we messing around why don’t we just use the heaviest thing known to mankind your mom Wow I’ve never seen anything like that before that was insane I think she was a bit on the heavy side she didn’t she didn’t move the scales she fell right through him Oh smokes that earthquake I think they felt that a few servers over even that was that was intense

Oh and look at this what is this when she hit the ground she just kept going where does this go unbelievable she made it down all the way to a brand-new nether everybody with new challenges new biomes new mobs and new blogs new adventures of weakness isn’t

It at one point sixteen nether updates all right let’s let’s get a little group together before we start exploring this ourselves because it’s a bit dangerous right and I know just the two perfect people for this I never seen anything front 116 from a rough day it’s so it’s

Gonna this is super neato urine for what he’s doing we’re set even rested I yeah add to sleep plenty and you’ll be fine okay let’s go tanner all right I’m work just an adventure cool into the nether you gonna watch out for there’s a monster called the Boogaloo karelis

Right there’s a new one you really didn’t pay attention to like any of the other gate stuff did you girls Boogaloo the Boogaloo yeah I do here scare sounds straight off it’s like a ghost okay and boom buddy stables you’re gold you gotta watch out for him yep

So let’s see do we just want outright for it we’re it approximately no seriously growling but if you see the Boogaloo Boogaloo okay what is this I guess I haven’t seen anything from an update nothing like a nothing this is the Warped forest Ellis new biome I’ve

Got these cool trees blogs a new mushrooms no I think you’re supposed to use a aren’t these a-holes now like a hoe is the proper thing to god I got you okay I think it’s just twisting I guess I’m I’m guessing you need shears for this you can just break it

Are there saplings for these the trees yes what is the global here they’re basically a light source yes or stone needs it looks much better than their take low stone yeah you love that sound – yeah so can you did when you grow one of these trees does it give you more

Mushroom sapling thingies no you get those by group using bone meal I’m an alien okay so it is still possible to farm it in large quantities yes you just gotta say need the nily I’m basically and they spawn the ruins the ones you go to okay this is gonna be nice

So this is a basalt then we have black stone pretty much yeah those guys are very dangerous finally they’re not quite as bad as the Boogaloo but there’s they’re pretty bad you just making jokes bad you know I don’t you believe me of your business you can’t be

You know thrust for free anymore come on growls did you see this keep alive what’s that new gold you fortune get the Nuggets there’s a piggelin who you can trade with mm-hm yeah you just you Chuck gold at him oh I don’t have any like a so oh I lost you

Stood in the floor like a bottom layer and then he spits out he gave me Blackstone Blackstone mm-hmm what oh yeah that’s new really yeah he gave me a eight Blackstone oh he’s always coming for you he’s mad he’s mad it’s so hard no don’t kill him Oh penguins are friends they’re not

I mean wear those boots or pants here there’s a scale is right here now yep for Boom Blox which is nice so basically like the new fortresses is that replace those like replace the old ones or just a new addition and you for new addition

And I mean that means I will be selling more books right as well go flying books cuz I’m just wait now my gift box you know I went to your store the other day for Ellis and there was all your mending books were sold out I’ve noticed that

You’ve given like everybody a book a gift box exhale this guy right here naughty an I don’t think even lesson got off the gift box yet I haven’t got one either now well I badass this door because he’s overcharging for mending who me it’s like two diamonds still to be won this

Super super super so you’re getting them for free gorillas come on don’t play dumb with me also they’ve changed the way that mending works now so that it will no longer try to apply mending experience to things that don’t need it it’s not bad it’s not bad like I’m a fan

Of those those polished big blocks but I guess the kind of now it looks strange down here I guess it just looks strange to me and I love these or darkens I think the polished the finger push blocks look good as like Capstone’s on like pillars or you know you uses like a

Little detail block but not I wouldn’t build like or they’re decent for floors as well they look like maze and don’t ya the bricks are basically why I love the update that’s kinda cool is a little chesty story place thing ruined for Golden Apple clock bunch of glistening melon I mean there’s nothing so stop I’m taking the crying obsidian how do you have you break this it’s purple block it’s obsidian you got crying obsidian oh oh and then there’s gold underneath oh I found the bastion if you keep going o c1 yeah yeah okay so how dangerous is very

Very I think yeah Pumbaa please going big Pumbaa okay guys are coming Oh idiots dead Pumbaa what’s this this is weird there’s another act like extensions okay so I mean this oh hello so I mean this just golfing over here we should pick it up this is that this is

The good gold this is the stuff you want de pasión go buddy yeah but what do you need it for it’s decorative block it’s the only way to get across if you want to build with it Oh Oh block of gold you can’t what does what not any good what does gillard

Black stone it’s that it’s this could be useful as a as a building block yeah maybe here anything else around here I mean what is there to find here other than that I mean I know there’s the gilded black stone black stone there’s the records from the chest oh I’m

Getting destroyed now I mean there’s all the new blocks I know ancient debris I found ancient debris in a chest that’s another right stuff isn’t it I had I had one close call this now where’s the stupid up there you are those feet to chain chain chain a minute

Russell OS note banner good what sounds means it’s like Fergal Lou I think okay I mean maybe it started designed it’s something like you might be like sever first on it very cool so that was a lot of fun I enjoyed that a lot we gotta

Explore the new nether a bit with Wells and Corrales had fun hanging out with them and had a few near-death experiences on the way and yeah the nether is no joke it’s very dangerous there now or sure and then also got some goodies from the bastion which is cool

And then after we finished up I talked to growl us a little bit about the what is love note box song I’m supposed to install it as base I’ll try to do that soon but we worked out the payment for it there’s a lot of TNT outside your shelf

I know it’s a little scary what you mean [Laughter] okay here you go that is that better that is part of it payments okay target payment and then you’re gonna get that all day old gunpowder and obviously free books for life when it comes to mending but this

Should keep you going for a bit right yes wonderful okay high five thank you so much whoops I am so terrified of this theater yeah it’s like I’m moving away from my store and then the next it’s a little bit closer you know but who does the villagers alright everybody well I think

We’re on our own here for the rest of the episode unless cup fan appears out of nowhere again but yeah I think our goal for the rest this episode is just gonna be collecting resources getting the new stuff from the nether updates probably do some piglet trading do some Metroid farming and I

Check out our flower farm here see how this works now cuz I think they made some changes with what you can farm um so yeah we can replace the grass here with my Liam and then when we bonemeal it we should get the fungi and I don’t

Know if we’ll get all the plants or or what now we’ll see I guess let’s get it going alright alright we’re getting the fungus that’s the most important thing and let’s check here what we’re actually farming we are getting these warped roots okay we’re not getting the little

Grasses like the smaller ones I guess yeah I think you might need to use shears on the little grasses now and that might be why we’re not getting them but we want to try to get a few stacks of these fungi so I’m gonna leave this

Farm run for quite a while and we’ll try collect a good stockpile these because these are what we need to grow the trees I don’t think you can grow them on grass no it won’t even use the bone meal you have to grow these on the Danai Liam and

The matching color and then we can bone meal it like so and that makes the tree spawn in and that’s how we get shroom lights in the wood here and stuff so we upgraded the composting system on here we went from one composter to five running at the same time now because

This actually produces an insane amount of these roots still and this is probably a good stopping point for it cuz I think we got a chakra box full here pretty much yeah don’t really need more than that for a while okay so maybe next up here let’s actually work on our

Nether portal situation so just to clarify what’s happened at the start of the season here all the hermit’s agreed that when the nether update came out we were gonna reset our nether it’s all deleted everything there is dawn we got to start over from fresh which means

That portal goes nowhere at the moment and I need to get to my ice base right now because my elijah is about to break my shovel is about to break I need to trade with the villagers there to repair my schools and because again the gold

Firm and all that kind of stuff is gone now I can’t go there to repair stuff anymore the great thing about living next to Zuma is I’m sure he’s got his portal linked up already so I’m gonna piggyback off of some of his work let’s see here yeah he’s got his tunnel

Dug already okay that’s great so I won’t have to go too far from here and then my ice base is probably a few hundred blocks away break down our ender chests for Citian fill in your corners on your portals very important and look at that two ender chest is exactly enough for a

5×5 portal amazing okay this should take us to our base now please although my portal is up in the sky I might need to change it no it worked okay good and the ice base is back online very good very good so we got our stuff fully repaired

Here once again from the experienced trading with the villagers and now I want to get some kind of bartering station set up for the big lens and I think we’re just gonna do it right outside our nether portal here we can’t bring them into the overworld because

Then they get converted over to zombie pig lands so we have to actually do it in the nether here or zombie pigmen as well probably forever call them the name change is gonna be confusing for a while so we’re gonna have threes three big lens per double chest here six total

Because we’ll have another one set up on that side and when they throw their stuff in these hoppers we want them to get another piece of gold so we detect that and then we send the signal up to a dropper full of gold here and it’ll give

Them another piece and then the stuff will flow into the double chest here and I’ll combine together and we basically just gotta get some big lens in here and name them so they don’t see spawn on us so I got some nametags ready for us and

I got to go find those guys the glass over here – I like how their ears kind of bounce back and forth as they’re running I never noticed that before these guys are really fast though like they can keep up with you at running speed

Okay Liz liar last guy we need in for the trading center here get that broken he’ll fall down we name them we cover them and we’re good I got these loaded up with a gold we can reach this middle one here by clicking through there we

Can reach this one so that’s all good this is how much gold we got left by the way so plus six stacks have gone into the droppers already I’ll probably want to save at least two stacks of these in case I got to make power rails or

Something but yeah let’s get it going so we hit this that shoots out the gold at the pig lens we’ll do it on this side as well you can see they got it in their hands they’re expect inspecting it’s except for this guy what happened to you

Oh I don’t know all right so once they finished inspecting it they throw the items and then that lands in the hoppers that triggers the comparator and it shoots them another piece of gold so it should keep the cycle going I believe oh this guy messed up okay why sometimes

I’m not sure what’s happening but sometimes it doesn’t work okay so here’s what’s happening with this thing sometimes when they do a trade they’ll get over 16 items in that trade and then those can’t flow through this hopper quick enough before they finish their trade which means the redstone is still

On over here and then the dropper can’t get trigger to give them a new piece of gold or in other words that means it’s probably best not to use comparators when you’re doing Pig lend bartering use a hopper clock instead it’s a way simpler so I got nine items in our

Hopper clocks here and it’s a cycling back and forth to sticky pistons on them and it’s going to the middle here on this one it goes triggers this one first then we got one tick delay to trigger this one and then two tick delay trigger that one over there

And yeah it seems to be working really good now actually so that’s cool I got a few more chests set up for more space where you can see we’re getting gravel and all kinds of goodies here soul speed fire resist is actually really good for

Because I don’t have a potion lab set up yet uh-huh string is good magma cream yeah lots of stuff I need here even nether brick I don’t have any of that really it’s so I don’t mind getting this stuff this is great it’s gonna help us out a lot

Yeah and this is just like a rough temporary setup I’ll probably have to tear this down at some point as I’m expecting eventually we’ll get around to making another hub here pretty soon have I ever told you guys just how much I hate Windows updates oh my goodness I

Could not even begin to explain it this episode has been a challenge let me tell you I’ve been getting a Windows Update pop-up like every 10 minutes here for a big chunk of this recording and it steals the focus away from the game so I’ve almost died a few times because I’m

Doing stuff in the nether here and it switches to the update and like lose the game for 10 seconds or whatever it’s so bad so I have three options I didn’t either restart now which I would do except I’ve had occasions where like I’m in the middle of editing an episode

Right now and sometimes when I close the editor and reload it it doesn’t load everything up properly and I gotta re-edit a bunch of stuff and that’s not fun I don’t want to do that my other option is to choose a time when I want to update and when I click that nothing

Happens the third option is to remind me tomorrow and when I click that it reminds me again in ten minutes but anyways let’s do some nether right mining here so this is the way I like to do it I go down to y 15 and I just mine out

Too high area and do some speed mining this is the first one I found by the way ah Yee and yeah then we just take like two or three stacks of TNT and fill in this area here pretty loosely it doesn’t have to be super dense try to get it to

Blow down to bedrock though please no window up Windows Update pop-up right now oh it’s ruined so many courti ah yeah okay we got one there one there in total we got 19 ancient debris from three stacks of TNT there I believe so let’s fire up the super smelter and

Each debris gives us one of these scraps after its melted so we take these we need four of them per ingot we still got this here yeah okay let’s go ahead and combine those with our gold and I should probably put it on my armor

First here but I think I want it on my tools actually let’s go ahead and upgrade these to our nether right tools go for the shovel go for the sword all right cool now I would go get more but I’m kinda out of time for this episode

And I’m actually very low on TNT at the moment because of that gaming district explosions last episode had a full shocker box saved up and it’s all gone now uh-huh but if we install that noteblock thing for Corrales he’s gonna give us a few double chests full of gunpowder

Which will be amazing so we should try to do that for next episode but for today that’s gonna do it hopefully you guys enjoyed it thank you for watching until next time take care have a wonderful day bye bye
