Hermitcraft 9: Episode 8 – RICHEST HERMIT

I have no idea what I’m doing which is sort of a tricky position for someone like me because I kind of look like I always know what I’m doing maybe it’s the suit maybe it’s the hair maybe it’s the mustache the dark beady eyes and the lack of eyebrows when someone like green

Says they don’t know what they’re doing everyone believes them because it looks like he doesn’t know what he’s doing but someone like me I look like I constantly have a plan and I can tell you now I have absolutely no idea what I’m gonna do with this area

This this thing has actually been keeping me up at night because I I like this idea like I think if I built this all the way around the base it wouldn’t look good but equally I really do think we can do something cool with the tinted

Glass but this is just way too dark it is way too dark you can’t really see any of the details there’s kind of no point in Blowing effort into the things down low because you can barely notice them with that being said there is an item

That could really help us and I I assumed I would be able to find it in this mess I’m still hoping I should be how does anyone live like this honestly I think it will be faster for me to gather the resources myself than steal them from

Whatever this is oh finally before you all get angry at me we have a gentleman’s agreement that Gentleman’s Agreement being we both steal from each other and hopefully the amounts even out now glow icon gives off a really really small amount of light so hopefully this should create little

Pools of Light which will look really nice underneath the tinted glass and it kind of does that actually that looks pretty good yeah that still looks quite spooky but we can still see all of the details and everything I think this could be is this

The winner why am I so indecisive I know this sounds really stupid but I kind of wish the light was a little bit cooler that light is warm I don’t think of glow like and as giving off warm light okay this is gonna sound even more insane I

Really like the way this looks while I’m holding a skull sensor why does that affect things and why does it look so much better is that what is this I sincerely don’t know what I’m doing after considerably more bimbling I finally know what I’m doing I’ve reduced the amount of glow

Like and I’ve added some bits and pieces we now have some sound effects that definitely aren’t going to get annoying over time I think I’ve got a good idea and the first step of the process is arguably one of the most weirdly satisfying I’ve missed this immensely oh

And the stone part’s even more satisfying I forget how good that noise is so I now have a big old Channel going all the way around my base area that is looking rather good like it makes my base look way taller but I have to say

It is looking quite boring at this point in time I mean if I left it like this I’m curious how does it look I mean it weirdly it kind of looks quite cool which is good because that means that this channel that we’re creating is just gonna make it look way better

Honestly how does this look good how does it look cool I don’t understand I’m getting carried away now I just need to gather up all the resources required to construct this thing skulk Blackstone and then we’ve got the Deep slate and all of the twirly things the skulk has

Been gathered from the Grumble skulk Supply Basalt is being gathered from the nether that was actually Blackstone now I’m gathering all of the basalts from the nether oh my goodness my worst nightmare just happened I just broke a redstone contraption that looks technical it all happened so fast it all happened so fast

Is I mean an arrow just got fired through a portal I have no idea where that Arrow just went I’m so sorry if that then breaks something in my very very honest and humble defense this piece of polished Blackstone was in with other bits of Blackstone and I have haste on

From a beacon somewhere so I was just flying through I didn’t even realize I didn’t even realize I’m leaving this place I’m never coming back here potentially server breaking blunders aside uh now I’m down in the mines Gathering up all of the deep slate and this should be the final piece of the

Puzzle oh this is a nice bonus and with my little twirly field growing I think I now have everything so now it’s time to actually start this build but before we do that I miss my friend green you see last week I had an uncontrollable urge to return to the hermitcraft server and

When I returned I discovered this rather strange looking thing now it turns out this was used by green and Scar to try and summon me back scar said that he was chafed a lot but clearly it worked because while I’m back here I’m back on the hermitcraft server now I’ve tried to

Talk to scar about this but every single time I message him about it he’s busy and I’m starting to think that maybe he’s avoiding the whole situation it definitely feels like this was Green’s idea but you see green is currently away in Vietnam I really want him to come

Back onto the hermitcraft server so I’m thinking maybe I might be able to use the same method to get him to return so I’m just gonna do a little little bit of this I mean what does his head look like if I wanted to make a really simple

Version of Green’s head what would that be she’s really wrong she’s very very wrong okay there’s two wrong I might end up bringing back someone else I don’t know okay I think it’s good enough so now all I have to do is I guess kind of walk around this circle a little bit

And then say things that green would say um talk to the waffle pluck my nose hairs and send me to Alaska I think I’m going to start the war today backs of bases are stupid yeah I feel like that worked I think Green’s probably somewhere up in the mountains

Of Vietnam having a wonderful time and suddenly I’ll have a Pang of desire to return to the hermitcraft server I’ll be waiting for him with open arms that didn’t sound too desperate did it back to my screeching crevice so I just realized sounds with all the beans I’ve been eating

Lately I’ve got a very screeching crevice but that’s the name that I’m going to be sticking with the screeching crevice uh yeah I mean I guess I just need to start building this thing and I’m just gonna build it kind of layer by layer I’m gonna go up from the bottom to

The top now I’m looking at it it’s not that big but I guess it’s over a massive area first layer is now done and I’ve made a shocking realization this is probably going to be super boring to watch in progress updates let’s do in the form of a time lapse activating the

Number drone I definitely should have been more enthusiastic while saying that anyway in this time lapse I want to talk to you about the building process because this this project right here this tiny little band going around my base has given me so many headaches and

As you’ve seen towards the end of the previous hermitcraft episode and also the start of this this hermitcraft episode I can’t stop just fiddling around and changing things and I 100 thought I was done with the design I thought I had it nailed and then I started building it on a larger scale

And I started to realize actually I’m thinking that the color contrast that comes with the brighter blocks the more Stony ones and not really the dark stuff really helps to separate it from the rest of the bass please let me explain you see I think this looks

Really really cool I think it already looks awesome I think with some final tweaks it’s gonna look Wicked and I think what I did here I think I I think it’s just a little bit too dark I think if I cover this entire area with tinted glass then this area

This bit is going to merge too much with these two bits and the whole thing you’re gonna lose You’re Gonna Lose the contrast between them and it’s all gonna it’s gonna muddy up the build and that is once again evident in the way that I’ve constructed this area here you can

See the darker blocks basically go right the way up to the top and there’s not that big of a band of the stone stuff whereas for the rest of it you can see I’ve gone really really low with the more Stony blocks because again I want

To keep that contrast I want to stop this from looking like it’s blending in to these two elements of the build and yeah I gotta say with those decisions made I think it looks really really good because we kind of have three separate bands we’ve got the wall and then the

Dark bit in the middle and then the building itself and it’s all been separated by the stone blocks two bits so now I have a quick question how am I so rich like I know I was always talking about how I’m the richest hermit and everything like that but I was sort of

Lying you know I only really ever had about 30 diamonds to my game how has this happened I how have I got this many diamonds this is this is more diamonds than I think I’ve ever seen in my entire life I mean I’ve heard about compound interest rates

And and and Returns on investment but converting 30 diamonds into this I mean I’m almost qualified to be a Tick-Tock financial advisor I’m going to start shouting putting subtitles on my thing and using acronyms that no one understands this is absolutely mildly terrifying but I wonder how many

Diamonds this actually is if I die now I will die in real life as well I think genuinely hey hey this sheep is coming over he wants a piece of the action I never thought I’d say this but I’m actually getting bored of placing diamonds there’s just too many of them

Okay to be frankly honest this is ridiculous this is an obscene this is an obscene company this is so stupid that is a five by five era of diamonds there so each one of those layers is 25 Diamond oars well what how where have they come from

This honestly feels wrong but very right at the same time one stack two stack three stack many stacks very very many stacks too many stacks in fact too many snacks you know I’ve become too rich I’m too rich I would once proudly exclaim that I was the richest hermit no it’s

Just I’m embarrassingly rich why did all of these come from seriously have I accidentally done the best bank heist in history but just not realized it did I how did this come about I’m gonna ask around hello hi hello hey there you are oh oh oh oh where’d you go how do you

Use these things how are you are you are you okay yeah I’m fine I mean I keep getting poked by these guardians but other than that it’s uh it’s okay yeah this is a bit of a precarious place look I have I have a question for you again it’s quite

Important so I was I was looking at my Vault and it turns out someone’s left some diamonds in the vault and I was just wondering um did you leave did you leave the diamonds there and do you want them back uh I I did not leave them there and I am

Pretty darn clueless as to the how and the why I know it’s got something to do with Rendog though right okay he might be someone you want to chase down okay okay so you definitely didn’t leave any diamonds there oh I left no diamonds there they’re not mine you’re so you’re so honest

This is great you’re very honest when presented with do you want diamonds back you’re like nope I’m good yeah no no I’m fine okay you know what you can have a diamond for your honesty oh no I’ll be on my way to earn a diamond right there yeah okay

So Exuma has no idea what about Etho I have I have like a quick question for you this shouldn’t take too long but um so yeah I was looking in my Vault and uh-huh I seem to have like consider it like I have a few more diamonds that I

Kind of expected to have so clearly there’s been some kind of like miscommunication and someone has left some diamonds or lost some diamonds and I’m just I’m trying my best to give them back um so you have too many diamonds you’re saying yeah I mean look I’m an honest

Guy you know and I just want to make sure that these diamonds make their way back to the correct person so do you feel like you’ve lost any diamonds do you are you feeling you feeling like you’ve lost diamonds maybe you’ve left them in my base you’re an honest guy but if you’re

Asking the other person that would assume they’re an honest person too right oh no I I totally assume you’re honest 100 I I did not leave any in your Vault everyone’s so honest on this side I really want to say yes but you kind of

Guilted me oh my goodness I have so many diamonds that I need to give away all right all right next up impulse oh my goodness this place is crazy hello this is this your voice is I can I can I can hear you I don’t know where

You are though hey I was underneath you oh my goodness this this wild this is so beautiful thanks I am uh well as you can see I’m a dwarf I can so I did a did a little digging and this is my Dwarven keep this

Is this is nuts this is so cool I mean I dug like half a million blocks I was gonna say it just looks like a lot of blocks two of mine well that actually this is that’s actually very interesting that you say that because I mean I I assume

That so have you done this all the way down to bedrock or is that I mean it looks pretty low it’s it’s getting there it’s getting there I got I don’t know a little bit left but uh yes that’s the plan get all the way to bedrock so did

You did have you have you got many diamonds from this did you get uh are you yeah do you have a yeah quite quite a few actually and I mean I am a bit of a mogul over in the shopping district as well you may have seen the big big I buy

Tower over there that’s kind of got all my colors yeah so like out of pure curiosity um so look I I found some I found some diamonds in my Vault um it was a bit confused you know because oh obviously I I left the server

And I was I was the richest hermit but then I came back and I was a little bit richer than I kind of expected to be um really yeah and I just yeah I just wanted to know I mean you don’t think you’ve lost some diamonds do you

I mean it’s highly possible I I got so many I kind of just like leave them wherever wherever what did they look like like we’re in a shulker box just a bunch of diamonds yeah there was like yeah there was some in shulker boxes and

Then yeah a couple in kind of block form um it does that sound familiar sounds like my yeah sounds like how I would have maybe left them right just out of pure curiosity like because you know I need to do like a small amount of security because it’s like

How many do you think you would have left uh if you were to just bull park it uh you’re probably like is a stack or so of like blocks somewhere in that vicinity a stack or so of blocks that’s yeah that’s quite a large number of blocks

Um yeah I mean it might just might have you know spread them out a little bit so they’re safe keep it a vault seemed like a secure place to keep them right yeah like you know I mean that does seem to be a slight discrepancy in the number of

Diamonds that that have been left unfortunately I mean really I’ll give you some diamonds because clearly if you’ve lost like a stack of diamond blocks that’s slightly concerning but equally it was considerably more diamonds that were left it was actually it was around about it was about 70 stacks of diamonds

Um it’s like 70 stacks of diamonds yeah interesting so okay maybe those mine okay [Laughter] no he’s really not yours no one no they’re not mine I mean I have so many diamonds I don’t even know what to do with them and despite my best efforts I

Still don’t know where they came from so I guess I’ll come back to that at a later date for now I’m going to return to the comfort of my screeching crevice because you still have a few bits and Bulbs left to do the first thing is

Adding in all of the spinny bits because I yeah when I left this I still wasn’t 100 certain where I was going to take the direction but now I’m 100 certain that I’m not going to be doing any tinted glass bits next up I need some form of light source to prevent this

Sort of thing from happening and as much as I’m liking the Lichen unfortunately it just doesn’t give off a strong enough light level it’s only giving off light level of I think seven so yeah that’s that’s not really good enough oh except mobs only spawn at a

Light level of zero now don’t they am I going insane I feel like they do this is not a recent change by the way this has been in the game for at least a year now just remember I’m out of practice yes that is the case Okay so that means that

Glow lichen could actually be the way to go because we just need to make sure that our block light level never reaches zero and then this screeching crevice should be completely Critter free there’s Critters in my screeching crevice and then they’re not nice so everything should now be fully lit up

But I’ve kind of walked around and I can’t find any spots where the light level is zero which is absolutely perfect so the next thing that I’ve got to do is build up a little Bridge because obviously getting into my base right now is a real pain in the back

Side I’m gonna have to jump through here and then walk underneath the door this is not particularly fancy but in saying that I’ve just come up with something ridiculously fantasy for how this store is actually going to work and no before you ask the entire door isn’t going to

Open but a certain segment of the door is going to open and I think I have a fun way to do it I’m getting distracted by Redstone let’s keep building Bridge what do I want my bridge to look like I mean I kind of like the idea that is

Almost like a slightly precarious rope Bridge I mean that might be a nice way to go so I’ve put up both barriers the little bits on the side that stop you falling into the screeching crevice because obviously that nobody wants to fall into a screeching crevice now in terms of the

Blocks for the actual Bridge itself I’m thinking copper and a lot of people were telling me that I need to use a stone cutter to actually make my copper bits because I then get more for my my amount of copper this is not something I’d realize so if I Chuck this in here

Is that more that doesn’t feel like more is that more it’s a lot more okay this is really good and then that’s the same amount though isn’t it am I going insane I think it was pretty clear at the start of this episode I don’t know what I’m doing that still

Holds true so the entrance of my little base area has now been switched up this looks considerably cooler we don’t have that little bump to go over and I was just playing around with some books I had in my inventory and honestly I think this looks good

Like this looks really good I’m super happy with this I don’t think I would actually want to change it I mean maybe maybe I slightly break up the constant grit and just put in one one little copper block there but other than that I really like this bridge and I really

Like again I really like this band here to stop this bridge merging with this door if that was copper this would be horrendous I’ve kind of pushed some of this out into the area here and I really need to do something about this this is

Not pretty I think I’ll come to that a little bit later for now I’m really curious what does the bridge look like from above this is kind of how I view my base I fly in and that looks really really nice yeah that looks really really nice and

Actually as the Sun is setting we can also see the very faint glow of the glow lichen as well that’s having a beautiful effect I’m liking the swirly stuff coming up this has all come together really nicely given there was an eight month gap between starting this project and

Finishing this project I feel like it’s actually come together really cohesively and it looks like a lovely little build so now it’s time to talk about that very fancy entrance the entrance that’s going to involve bouncing around with the player opening of segments of the Vault and all sorts of interesting Redstone

And it’s gonna be coming in the next episode hope you enjoyed I’ll catch you next one see ya
