Hermitcraft RECAP – Season 9 Week 71

This week on Hermitcraft… MUMBO: It’s Hermitcraft time! SLOY: And then he Hermitcrafted everyone. Welcome to the Hermitcraft Recap! My name is Pixlriffs, our writer is SloyXP, captions on this video were provided by Lyarrah. And if I sound a little different today, don’t  worry – I haven’t gotten sick. But unfortunately  

My PC has, so temporary recording setups ahoy  while it’s at the workshop getting fixed up.  But at least it ain’t full of dragon eggs, which  is more than we can say for the Hermitcraft Server   right now. Hopefully the server host has some good  refrigeration for all these eggs and the havoc  

They are currently causing, because we’re a little  worried what might happen if any of them hatch. But the other thing that’s  being hatched is plans, so let’s take a look at all the events and mishaps  that occurred on the Hermitcraft Server this week.

Starting with XBCrafted, who is more occupied  with containing rare creatures than unleashing   them on an unsuspecting theme park.  His own animal attraction – the zoo,   that is – gains a camel exhibit with his  own miniature take on a desert biome,   complete with its most recognizable structures  – the desert pyramid and desert well.

XB: My thought was, that camels – as  far as I know – are not really prone to,   like, attacking people? So I’m not as worried? >> After spamming it with dead bushes and  making sure the perimeter fence is camel-proof,  

He moves the dromedaries into their new diorama  dormitory and they settle in quite nicely. XB: Oh yeah! Look at that. >> That’s not the only long-collared camelid  he’s willing to stick his neck out for,   since he “borrows” a Llamadad card from  iJevin’s collection of TCG expansion  

Packs – but later clarifies he’s done  a deal, exchanging him for an Evil X. After all the groaning and grunting of camels  and sniffers, iJevin’s redstone sounds much   more pleasant, between the crackling of the  furnaces and the rail ASMR to help you sleep. 

The Tudor build tavern he built is given  a purpose, and also the central heating:   Jevin installs a supersmelter into the  ground floor, with convenient input and   output circuit. It’s the smithy now, though it  can also be the bake-y if you’re so inclined.

JEVIN: Anyways. Um, I wanna do some more detail  on the interior now, so I’m gonna get to it. >> The running of FalseSymetry’s  elytra course reminds him that the   fireworks rockets are nice to have,  and Jevin designs his own unique   creeper farm to supply any future  sky races and neighbor excavation.

JEVIN: This farm is different because we use  Looting now. We’re getting consistent drops.  There- there’s a bunch in  there. Let’s go kill ’em! >> His actions are much Pixlriffs-approved also,   when he discovers the rare cluster of two  deepslate emerald ores to resell Cubfan135.

Cub seems thrilled about the mineral, as it’s the  last thing needed to complete his geology section   at the museum. For someone who held a world  record in speedrunning to get all the minerals,   this might be the slowest he’s ever done it. The biological specimen take more effort,  

Due to the sheer variety and robustness of them,  but eventually every kind of a guy is in, just   in time for Xisuma to come and breed up his own  camels, and complete the two by two advancement. CUBFAN: Why won’t you go in, camel? [baffled] Go in!  Can- can we not? F3+B… 

Oh my god, camel, you’re so fat! [laughs] Why is the camel so fat?! >>Also of note, Cub managed to dig up the original  “remove king claim” notes Grummbot dispensed,   in case they ever need to… well, remove,  king, and claim someone. ‘Till then,  

The last royal bloodline is immortalised  at the Crastle exhibit front and center.  And the museum now provides an  abridged version of the Total   Chaos minigame experience, which  yes, is just a box that kills you. CUBFAN: And the coolest thing about this, is  that, this is actually resettable on its own. 

The dripstone regrows,  albeit extraordinarily slow-  I- I’m sure it looks pretty  good, too. If you hit this.  [fireworks explode] CUBFAN: Yeah, looks pretty good as well. >> By comparison, the competitor offers  jam sandwiches, or at least that’s how we   can interpret this installation made with  a variety of custom heads and armorstands.

KERALIS: Ah, this is so good! CLEO: 😂 I knew you’d appreciate it.  KERALIS: This is amazing, Cleo!  Look at the little sushi bits! >> Whatever project ZombieCleo had that  for, got side tracked quite severely   by there appearing to be a Keralis. This is actually the first upload from  

The Hermitcraft Server Keralis has done since the  recent Minecraft update, though not the first time   we’ve seen him on the show, last appearing to have  his butt handed to him by XBCrafted in a TCG duel.  Butt in hand, Keralis is found in Beef’s  TCG arena, and Cleo is all too happy to  

Play carpenter and rebalance his deck, if not  build him a new one. With their help, Keralis   can face his next adversary and use his training  with ZombieCleo to masterfully defeat ZombieCleo. TCG Season 2 has some turns I tell you. [fireworks] KERALIS: [happy noises]  CLEO: Yeah, there you go. Congratulations. XB: GG! 

KERALIS: See, XB? Thank you,  Cleo, for letting me win.   I guess. That means- CLEO: [laughs] I did not let you win!! >> Their helping hands do an appearance  in GeminiTay’s videos as well, alongside   Joe Hills who has been streaming a lot but not  quite uploading edited episodes lately. As such  

It’s refreshing to see him on the show again. This time they’re here for the Hermits helping   Hermit initiative, the Hermit in question being  Gem, holed up at the root of her grand cherry   Yggdrasil, doomed to witness the update  that adds actual cherry trees to the game.

GEM: For over a year now, I’ve been playing on  the Hermitcraft server and building up this.   And of course, I added a cherry tree. And accidentally predicted the update.  That is my bad. I didn’t-  I didn’t mean to do that.

>> Well, thanks to the help, the Big  One is updated with new leaf textures,   and then the entire elven town underneath it is  outlined in cherry planks to balance out the top.  Also every street is doused in petals  and leaf blocks for atmosphere- much as  

It is filled by pollen from the whole experience. GEM: I do know, however, that  I want so much pink. So much.  Oh, I love this update so much! 😍 >> But over at Scarland the forecast is promising  a downfall of two to four blocks of Egg.

SCAR: [panicked noises] What- Ahh! The horse is attacking me!  What the heck is going on?! What is this?! >> We have not gotten into it much last time,  but once blown up by Doc one too many times,   Grian, Mumbo and GoodTimesWithScar form  a coalition titled Buttercups and set up  

Adorable pink camp at the edge Docm’s base. The idea being that buttercups are very   much poisonous to goats, and so Scar sets  off right away baking poisonous cookies,   while Mumbo attends to some  more ambitious retaliation.  Which only outlined to Doc  exactly whom to roll up into well,

ARMSTRONG: […] the mother  of all omelettes here, Jack. >> And Scar actually gets away easier than his  co-conspirators, since the part of Scarland   he wants to build in is at least flat and  can be cleaned up with pistons. In theory. SCAR: The night before- there we go. Put that down, and… bam. 

Oh no… They don’t get pushed with slime. >> In practice, he just Spleefs the clutch under  the city, then paves over the issue by expanding   the town square in between the TCG theatre you  can’t go into, and the townhall you can’t go into. SCAR: I love these things.  Don’t know what they’re called,  

But they’re great. And we  need to use more of those. >> Rendog denies all responsibility. This  is not the kind of Server that pranks,   he says. But of course, he said that  before the egging was committed,   so perhaps he’ll want to re-think his stance.

RENDOG: Right. And the plan is to put the balls? DOCM: We’re gonna put them right in their base. DOCM: That just got weirder. RENDOG: [snickers] >> At least he’ll have the record store built to  lay low in for a while, and give him something  

Less dangerous to do than hang out with DocM. And it’s lucky some folks are keen to provide   fireworks to the entire server, because this prank  ends up with Ren burning them a stack at a time. [many fireworks] [Docm laughing] RENDOG: Oh, I just burnt up  

All my rockets in one go, dude. We gotta keep- we gotta remember to turn   the button off. DOCM: Yup, yup, yup. RENDOG: It’s impossible. [many fireworks] DOCM: That’s what I thought last time that-  Ha, he did it again! [laughs] RENDOG: So annoying!

>> At least fireworks are disposable, unlike  the priceless artifacts Ren has been keeping   around since the days of his kingship.  And to properly commemorate them – as   well as paying tribute to the new King and  a former loyal subject – Ren takes a tour  

Of ZombieCleo’s royal museum and hands  over the authentic Crown of the King,   along with the original disc copy of  GoodTimesWithScar’s HotGuy audition tape. CLEO: And I know you were  really stressed at the time,   and like, part of this was me going,  “Actually, Ren didn’t remember a lot  

Of the stuff that we’ve done, so… RENDOG: [chuckles] I really didn’t.  Honestly it was just a blur. CLEO: No.  […] activity for you. RENDOG: Th- it’s been amazing.  CLEO: To show that you are appreciated. RENDOG: This is one of my happiest evenings   this year. So, uh, thank you. CLEO: Aw, excellent. 

RENDOG: And if I could hug you, I  would give you a squeeze right now. >> With those royal giblets donated, he  resists any further attempts at bargaining,   planning instead to stoke the  fire of rivalry between Cleo and   Cub by trading off artifacts to each one of them.

Speaking of bargains, Mumbo logs in to find  more eggs than he ever bargained for. Feeling   like he’d better keep his head down for a  while and not mess with the Perimeter, Mumbo   goes mining for deepslate. Surely an innocuous  activity that will not get him into trouble!

RENDOG: Dude, I literally think someone came  here to collect deepslate. They couldn’t be   bothered to dig down, so they just came into the  corner and thought you wouldn’t spot anything.  DOCM: What is going on here,  man? Like, people are like- RENDOG: Oh, here we go! DOCM: Oh?

>> And it’s all for the sake  of his newly rebuilding base,   which gets the first wall of  the first segment and is already   looking like the futuristic industrial  powerhouse he was imagining all along.  But he can’t resist checking if he can telefrag  Grian with the Dragon Egg, and yes, Grian still  

Crashes any time falling entities happen within  range of him. And instead of weaponising this   against Grian, Mumbo instead tries to copycat  to dodge out of cleaning it up himself. The Hermitcraft equivalent of faking an illness   to stay home from school is  actually pretty hilarious.

MUMBO: Do you reckon that was convincing? I don’t know how long I should leave it before   I come back onto the server. SCAR: Oh wait. Oh no, wait.  Oh. Hm. Uh… MUMBO: So you- you’re the only one that has to- 

SCAR: I have a small brain but I’m  pickin’ up what you’re throwin’ down here.  MUMBO: So yeah. So you have to  do all the clearing up, you know.  SCAR: Wait, wait. I felt something strange inside  my pit of my stomach. Hold on, look. Watch. Oh,  

Oh my gosh, look! Look! Oh, oh I cra- MUMBO: [nervous laughter]  I think he might have caught on. SCAR: Dang Mumbo, I’m crashing too~ >> But sooner or later they have to face the  music, and they ponder how to mess with Doc,  

Settling on the Pacific Rim school of,  “we get the giant robots to fight.” SCAR: Like, firework dispensers  as it’s going, like pew pew pew!  GRIAN: Uh, don’t think you can move dispensers. MUMBO: Uh, no no. Can’t- can’t move dispensers. MUMBO: See, again! GRIAN: I feel so bad,  

Every time Scar makes a  suggestion we shoot it down!  MUMBO: He just needs to come up with  better suggestions! They’re all terrible!  GRIAN: [laughs] SCAR: I’m doing my best over here! >> So don’t be surprised if DocM basically  ends up building Mecha-Godzilla at some point. Mecha-GOAT-Zilla perhaps.

He’s already started with Mothra, and,  we guess, Son of Mothra? There are two   butterflies, built at suspiciously  precise points above the perimeter- RENDOG: Wait, there’s another one? DOCM: [laugh] Yeah.  RENDOG: Wait a minute. Geez  dude, you’ve been busy this week.  DOCM: This is yours. RENDOG: Oh, this is mine? 

DOCM: Yes. I called it Mothra. RENDOG: This is mine?! >> And with a payload of TNT that seems likely  to extend the Perimeter wall a little further.  Doc has also added Mumbo’s face to the Wither  statue as a sign that he’s also unwelcome in the  

Perimeter, along with some clarifying fine print  – but a bit more readable thanks to the glow ink.  And that’s not a moment too soon, because he  and Rendog notice that someone has been mining   deepslate in the corner of the Perimeter.  And we wonder who that could have been?

MUMBO: […] and keep mining. And I’ve gotta say,   the process of mining deepslate  is a little bit painfully slow,   because of course, even with a Haste II beacon  and Efficiency V on my pickaxe, you still don’t   have instamine. And that is something that I  have grown incredibly used to over the years.

>> Sooner or later, someone will have  to clean up this mess. And that someone   seems like PearlescentMoon, who Doc and  Scar both call to the main street of   Scarland to point at all the dragon  eggs and shrug in meaningful ways.

SCAR: We could really use some help  clearing out the eggs here. I- I’ve   tried to go to the nuclear option by just  breaking the ground below the blocks.  DOCM: Just emphasizing the victim role here, mhm. PEARL: I’m just saying, Doc, you could’ve hired   the cleaning lady, [ahem]. Y’know.  Could’ve hired the cleaning lady. 

DOCM: Yeah, well maybe they   gotta hire the cleaning lady. PEARL: Technically, Scar did.  DOCM: In case they do- oh. PEARL: 😅 Technically, Scar already has… >> And finally there is PearlescentMoon,   who’s actually quite happy to find  herself on the Scarland payroll.

SCAR: Why does it make me laugh that  you haver double hats on? [laughs]  PEARL: Hey, don’t laugh at my double hats, they’re   fashionable, okay- 😂 SCAR: [laughs harder] >>   She is less happy to find that while she’s been  away cultivating Sniffers, digging for pottery  

Sherds, and expanding her custom landscape into  a beautiful autumnal forest for the new 1.20   critters, her servermates have been illegally  duplicating the dragon egg behind her back.  Now faced with this enormous mess, Pearl  is grateful the community came through with   some designs for automated street sweepers,  which arrived with some very precise building  

Instructions, although they were less  clear about how to turn the machine off. PEARL: Be free, my little cleaning machine!  It’s not doing too bad! Oop! Okay, that- that’s the wrong way!  Oh no! That- that that’s that’s not the right way!  That’s not the right way! Stop! Stop! Stop!
