Transcripts
yeah I got to get better at my time
spent what is
yours see I'm not a very entertaining
YouTuber gem so I have to put more work
into to make my episodes
better what do you mean what's your time
played I at 11 days 11 days is any of
that AFK not really
no Etho I got four episodes out do you
ever Lo yeah what yeah that's worse that
is worse that you only have four
episodes out can you get off the server
and do some editing my
God yeah now I will say though all my
episodes have been like 40 50 minutes I
got to get back to the 20 minutes been
huge I I got to get back to the 20s
again I haven't even watched your most
recent one cuz I looked at how long was
I was like I just can't I know it's a
problem that
long yeah so hello everybody and welcome
back to another episode of
hermitcraft oh ouch aha yeah so I'm
still having a little trouble finding my
sweet spot you know that perfect balance
between how much I play on the server
and and like when I start making my
video cuz uh usually I like to play on
the server a bit before I start putting
the video together just so it has some
direction to it and I've been finding
because like so much of stuff is
happening on the server but when I start
putting my video together like 20 more
things happen on the server as I as I
put it together and then it's like oh I
got so much to include and I don't want
to leave anything out but you know I've
also been spending a lot of time hanging
out with the Hermits goofing around
having a good time which has been great
uh but uh there's something else as
well this season of hermitcraft I
actually went into it with a plan
believe it or not and I've been I've
been working on this plan now as many of
you know I don't have the best track
record with with big projects I got a
massive project I want to do this season
so in order to make this happen I
realize I need to set a strong
foundation for the season early on here
so I'm doing like a lot of resource
Gathering early on here Farm building
infrastructure building I want to get
our storage worked out and uh you know a
lot of these like timec consuming kind
of difficult grindy projects I'm trying
to get done early on the season I want
to try to get our Base building done
early so that later in a couple months
or so when we transition to this big
project it's going to go smoothly and
there's a better chance I'll actually
get it done now I'm also trying to be
very careful not to leave too many Loose
Ends behind as we go through the season
here so you remember that big storage
mess we had here I got that clean up it
was a it was a big pain organizing it
and normally that's something I would
probably put off and uh you know those
loose ends they start to pile up and
then eventually I got to deal with them
and I don't want that to happen this
season so I I organized it I got it all
put away here and I I know this room
looks horrible with all these Sher boxes
but these aren't that bad actually these
are mostly organized like this is not
like random stuff for the most part this
is like I went and I got like 20
Shockers of sand that I turned to Glass
so that we could sell it at our shop I
made a bunch of TNT I mined up a bunch
of Terra Cotta like six things of Terra
Cotta here just doing resource Gathering
you know I I also went to like the end f
a Wither there just to get some endstone
even though I don't need it now we'll
need it for our massive project
eventually and it's just kind of nice to
get that in our inventory in our Ender
Chest in case we ever do need endstone
for some reason of course one of my
early season goals here is to get our
storage room filled up so we can get the
maximum Effectiveness out of our shocker
loaders but that requires an incredible
amount of resources a lot of crafting a
lot of organizing to get that done and
we're probably at like 20% now after I
spent a bunch of time on it and it it's
getting there but we got a long ways to
go with it all right everybody now check
this out this is so cool this is an
example of setting up infrastructure
that's going to benefit us for the rest
of the season here as long as we're in
this world every time I use this it's
going to make me
happy instead of keeping our Rockets or
our food or other consumables in a chest
where we have to like fumble around
manually looking for them maybe we run
out I got to figure out where the rest
of them are and that kind of thing and
uh you know craft them and all that
stuff we're going to have these quick
dispensing stations I did something like
this in season 7 of hermit craft and I
absolutely loved it where you just hold
right click on this
comparator the longer you hold down
right click the more Rockets you'll get
for example every time we click it we're
going to get eight when it's fully
filled up um and that way you can
control how many you get depending on
how many you need and it it's just
really nice right and now that we have
the the autoc crafter we can actually
make it even better uh it's really
simple as well is this an observer
detecting the comparator goes up to two
drops ERS and then up to two more
droppers and you just keep repeating
that pattern uh for however many
droppers you want the more you have the
faster they'll dispense them and then we
got a bunch of Hoppers going into those
droppers to Auto refill them from a big
storage unit like a chest and then we
got a autoc crafter hooked up to that
chest for the Rockets so we just have to
get it going here and look at this so
it's going to take our our sugar cane
craft that into paper that goes into
here and then we have one for gunpowder
and then that goes combines together in
this one makes our Rockets they go down
into our our dispensing station down
there uh
oh
problem oh I guess this can fill up
that's never happened before all right I
got to make some adjustments uh okay
let's shut it down for now okay I made a
little adjustment here so now the wire
goes up above here so it doesn't
interact with this crafter but instead
it checks if this runs out of paper and
then it tells this crafter to make more
uh we're going to add a couple more here
I want one for ender pearls for sure
maybe one for bone meal maybe one for
TNT I we we'll figure out the rest of
them but let's go get our ender pearls
oh look at this we just hopped into the
end here and we're getting greeted by a
shower of
XP uhhuh okay I haven't been to this uh
Enderman Farm uh just yet every season
of hermitcraft jevin makes an Enderman
Farm like within the first two weeks
and this season to change things up uh I
think you did in the first week all
right this is a good sign when you can't
pick up the XP fast enough in an
Enderman farm that means it's a good
Enderman Farm look at
this uh-huh uh-huh that's a good sign
they refill pretty quickly here looking
good all right so we're going to fill up
I think nine chalkers of Ender Pearls
and we got it loaded up so let's give it
a
try that should give us 16 yeah perfect
woohoo
we got ender pearls again free yes
please thank you all right everybody
well check it out here we are at the
shopping district and that's the big
thing that's been happening this week on
hermitcraft everybody's getting their
shops down in the new shopping district
we got Carell's uh candle shop there we
got Ren's Beacon shop I think XB made a
grocery store here and he uh is
anxiously waiting for people to come

there's like skizzle wood shop Joel just
made
a uh like glow squid thing and you know
there's big shops there's there's little
shops there's all kind of shops all over
the place little pop-up shops happening
and as many of you know I have well I
don't not really I don't have a shopping
addiction uh I I can control myself um
no put those away put those
away it's temp though but this season of
hermitcraft I am vowing you know I I am
going to control myself I'm not going to
just do impulse buies all the time I'm
going to actually try and make my
diamonds last and spread them out
throughout the whole season 400 diamonds
lifetime supply but you can never
deplete my resources you've got to
always leave at least a few shulkers
behind yes yes that I'll make sure of
that but that's uh that's that's like
all my diamonds oh my goodness I'm
broke

35 85
85 it does
lot I don't know it does not from this
angle it's a three it it does not and
it's also perfect it's also a three the
only angle that's an eight is like dead
on and barely don't steal Dylan now
you've already raided him what okay he's
low on health I'm getting
off why are you killing him how did that
even happen I don't know I don't know
you opened the box and then he got
squished and sad for science we got to
try it
again
huh I don't know what that
was I think you might have smacked him
with your sword no no he he got squished
there here happening
again who oh he almost died okay okay
okay why didn't you like it happen again
and you didn't get off I didn't realize
he was taking a villion damage every
time he took a
hit dude I was half a heart there that
was a close call three two one oh that's
a lot of
TNT so cool oh that is so good that is
so good we're back at base again here I
forgot to show you all the map that's
right we did another snapshot in time
I'm trying to do this every month so we
can see how the area changes over time
and and a month ago this is how our our
area looked remember we were missing the
corner on our house oh Cleo just
died and I got that filled in now and
most of the stuff I've been doing is
underground though recently so there's
not a whole lot there but you can see uh
Tango's foundation for his Factory
appeared we got pearls area got massive
updates with the pathing and her house
is like two three times larger on the
map here big big Improvement there uh
skizzle pyramid showed up and then we
also got uh Cub he got his firework
Factory going now I got to say I really
do like this location we settled down in
at first I just picked the spot to be
close to like Tango and Pearl and other
Hermits here but the more time I spend
here the more I realize just how good of
like a geographical location is how many
good things it has going for it we got
the jungle of course which I love uh but
it's also got the double cave spawner
down below it's got cold biomes nearby
like there is uh mountains near here so
if we need snow
or if we want to set up an ice Farm
we're going to be able to do that nearby
there's goats up there and a bunch of
different animals because there's so
many different biomes here we also have
the height variation going on for us so
this is like a high spot it allows us to
make some more interesting like build
stuff terraforming in the future
hopefully uh but we also have low spots
for like our creeper Farm to get better
rates down below here we have the water
for making a squid Farm the only body of
water near us as well so we get
incredible spawn rates down there and
look at this I also realized just
randomly we have a little sliver of
planes uh just over here this little
section and then it turns to like water
the river there that turns to Forest up
there and jungle this way Birch Forest
that way so this is a tiny little spot
but it's perfect for what we got going
on down below here uh this allows us to
do something cool without having to
leave our base did you wonder what was
behind the door here ah huh huh what
could it be what could it be it's
another
door uh yeah so just over this way
towards the the plains
biome uh what do we have what do we have
everybody a bunch of doors
and we're able to make a flower farm
here so Plaines is perfect cuz you get
the the dandelion here let's turn it
down real quick here you get your
poppies you get your blue flowers you
get the gray flowers o daisies and the
azeret blits so it's one of the best uh
Flower Farm
locations and now we got it right by our
base so that's cool so I set one of
these up um this is also
good for farming a bunch of other things
in the game yeah so if we swap out the
grass block above the bone meal
dispenser here with nyum we can use it
to grow the nether plants as well and
this is an 8x7 in dimension the grass
area here one of these sides has has
grass next to the Pistons and one is uh
empty so on that side you put the other
nyum and then you just start it up we
get the mushrooms and all the nether
plants and stuff making a flower farm
like this is super simple as well you
just have an observer detecting when the
grass moves above here and then you uh
send power to the left and the right of
that one goes to the dispenser and then
you run the the power up to both sides
of the Pistons they're so simple to make
I actually ended up making five
different ones so we got the one at our
base we got got one in a swamp and then
there's this flower Forest by greens
here uh let's see if I can remember the
location it's not well well marked or
anything oh there it is right there so
we got two of them down here this is for
the
Tulips there's any bone meal left yeah
so we got red and orange tulips
here and then this one gets us the White
and the pink
tulips uhhuh and then we got an elium uh
flower farm down here as well but
anyways I'm in the mood to do a little
bit of building everybody so let's get
to it here so I think it was back
episode 2 or something I marked out this
path to go to Tango's place and I didn't
have the resources back then I haven't
had the time since to get it
done but I think we can do it today if
we if we do it quickly uhhuh so I think
this tunnel for sure needs to get bigger
so we'll get that going uh but you see I
kind of leveled it out
here we'll get a nice windy path around
the Bay
Area all right might want to go a little
bit bigger than this I'll think about it
for a second but let's uh let's check
this out so I got some stuff together
yeah over here so I'm thinking the way
we're going to do the
path is we're going to use packed mud as
our
primary so down the middle I'll just run
the the packed mud I think in the very
center of the packed mud like the
highest traffic area on the path we're
going to use the brown mushrooms it's a
smooth Block matches well and it'll be
like uh the area that people walk the
most you know and then on the
outside think anyone's going to
sleep I'm one of the main sleepers on
the server so if I ever don't sleep I
always
worry cuz people get into the routine of
not sleeping when I when I'm around
right and then it's like oh man when I
need it nobody's got my back I think
we're going to do rooted dirt on the
sides of that next to the pack probably
and then even further that the area
where you walk and the grass kind of
dies will do course dirts uh-huh and
then I also prepared some bricks and
some Granite which I think we're going
to use as a retaining
wall uh going along along here now you
got to be careful with bricks I find if
you use too many bricks it looks really
bad but if you just have a few I think
we'll just go too high
maybe we'll try that out we'll mix in
some granite in places maybe some
terracotta get some plants in front of
that I think it's going to look pretty
good I am going to get rid of this
tree and maybe Tango wheat cuz this is
like where I want the path to go right
yeah he won't mind he's on
vacation all right I don't think it's
quite wide enough here to do what I want
either so we're probably going to have
to expand out a bit and maybe take some
of the cliff away too just to make it a
bit nicer usually when I do paths I find
it works best if I don't try to mix in
all the blocks to begin with I I just
put down on the main path material first
and that helps me gauge like when I add
the other stuff how it looks with that
like how it's developing this also
allows us to get the shape a little bit
more refined without being distracted by
the other blocks as well let me give you
a little update here so we made the
tunnel a little bit bigger in here I
think this feels a lot better now I've
been working on the shape of the path
and I'm pretty happy with it now I think
it's a good width a good good bend to it
you know a little bit of character it's
not perfectly straight or anything and
I've been messing with the wall I think
maybe I put a little too much granite
and stuff in there but uh the other
thing is it just looks a little strange
right why is that well I think it's a
little too little too perfect we're
going to try mix in some stairs some
slaps some fences and also I want to do
a little thing where like every second
block we have a little Jag in it you
know like that and sometimes we might go
down as well so we're going
to actually how do we do it I think we
got to go like here instead if we want
to go down so we're trying to transition
it from like 2 and 1/2 blocks down to 1
and 1/2 sometimes and just like mix it
up a bit uhhuh all right maybe we go
down here and then that's fine well it
looks a little strange let's get a stair
in there sure we can use some walls as
well to give it a little bit of
irregularity between uh the corners you
know just in a few places you don't have
to do it everywhere okay I'm not really
sure what I'm doing here but we we'll
figure it out uh just try stuff you know
see what it looks
like it's probably fine right now I
think we look for any areas that have a
high cluster of the packed mud and we
try to get the rooted dirt to go into
that
maybe maybe as an idea oh Snappers all
right everybody well we probably spent
about 2 hours working on the pathing
here and it's in a much better place now
I do need like another 2 3 hours at
least to finish it though we did make it
come out uh in front of our base here
though which is nice we kind of got an
idea of how it's going to go now um so
this is kind of what I would call level
one pathing in front of our house where
you just focus on getting the the shape
the width of it the position all figured
out um so I think that's fine but then
over here we went more into the level
two pathing where you actually start
doing texturing and adding little
details to it and I think this looks way
better over here this actually feels
pretty good to me uh so I went for more
of a rough like overgrown look to it
because it is a mountain passage as well
so you got to think there's probably not
going to be a lot of people coming
through here especially with Tango on
vacation you know he's is pretty much
just me right
now uh trampling down the path here uh
but yeah this is this is good we added
in some some brick structures broken
down fences throughout in a few places
got one by Tango there I do like how
this looks with the wheat on both sides
actually so I'm going to leave this you
know Tango can change it if he wants but
uh yeah I kind of like that and then and
uh what else um the thing that is
missing we we do have hidden lighting by
the way as well but the thing it's
missing to like really complete this to
make it feel a lot better is some unique
structures to it so this is all kind of
like background decorative stuff right
but in order to really sell the scene
make it feel better you need stuff for
your eyes to focus on so for example we
have this tree that was here and I got
thinking you know maybe I make like a US
shape out of the Hill here put some
benches like a rest stop kind of thing
and then tear down this tree build an
actual nice looking custom tree over top
the benches I think that would be really
good for this area you could add things
like uh chain fences or bamboo fences
along the path here um it would really
help if we had some more interesting
terrain like Boulders and you know
rougher stuff you know uh would be cool
maybe some pathing down below here as
well um wooden structures to support uh
our cave maybe another custom Tree in
this flower bed thing I just threw some
berries in there for now you know stuff
like that really helps to finish things
off and make it feel better but that's
going to have to wait till another
episode because we got to go check out
the shopping district everybody oh we
stole some uh Stone actually very good
and I'm guessing no glass
sold uh yeah looking looking about the
same as I left it last time glass you
know it's a it's one of those
Commodities that's going to really take
take off soon I'm sure mhm let's see if
Joe sold any of his oh my goodness he
actually sold some that's so
unfair
what how did he sell some okay we sold
some of the yellow that's good uh one
stack of the green and oh okay purple's
the big seller for some reason yeah hi
are you having a hard time getting in i'
I've constructed a wall there's no way
in anymore it go over here by Joel's
Arch there oh thank goodness there you
go there you go I got stuck in the
river sorry about that yeah it's under
construction you know we're starting to
to build up the walls and the streets on
the cyberpunk city here so it's coming
along all right yeah a lot has changed
even you you got fancy armor look look
look see what we're using oh you're
using frog lights for the roads that is
excellent that's a great choice impulse
uhhuh yeah except uh I am out of
diamonds because that was a lot I bought
13 stacks of the poent ones uh and I
only I only had 39 diamonds left in my
pocket and I'm broke now so got to go
mining then
huh well I was hoping not to uh how
would you feel if I traded you the brown
glass permit in exchange for use of your
frog L Farm not saying you got to go
collect it I'm just going to get it
you're going put the work in okay
lifetime deal kind of thing I'm I'm okay
with those I feel like it's maybe skewed
a little bit in your favor though um I
I'll do it under one condition impulse I
think you got to be my my frog light
spokesman my my
Advertiser Frog Light spokesman all
right uh should I start now sure you got
something in mind Cub have you seen how
amazing frog lights are inside the
cyberpunk city have you seen it yeah
most amazing light you can possibly get
I mean what other lights look that
beautiful and are vibrant with lots of
color I walked in on a deal for frog
lights here didn't
I well okay let me I'm just going to
give you free samples imp pulse I'm
giving these to everybody right now on
the server I just went to eat those so
that's a good idea give some free sample
stuff maybe to give visit the firework
shop in the shopping dist for how my SP
with the with frog lights go you
interested in frog lights now yeah oh I
I'm G to need a lot too so
yeah you got one you got one just like
that yeah yeah yeah perfect yeah you got
it you got this I think you double
dismounted your horse and it broke my
door but that's fine keep negotiate yeah
okay fix a self fixing let's
go okay okay you demonstrate your skills
there that's that's impressive yeah yeah
yeah yeah I think we could make this
he's probably heading straight to your
shop right now right all right I I I
think I'm good with that you know you
throw a little frog light advertisement
in your everyday conversation every once
in a while I think we got a we got a
good deal there yeah yeah okay I see it
working away okay I'll be happy to uh
AFK any chance I get at this you know we
can we can take turns and then I'll just
skim a little off the top you know so
it's incredibly fast um oh usually I'm
only here for like 5 10 minutes at a
time and I got the chest full so holy
cow okay so yeah you'll need to expand
the storage if you want to stay
longer sure okay I can do that yeah yeah
yeah or or
uh if we go down below I'll show you the
situation right now yeah if you don't
mind me modifying it as needed that's
cool I can do
that just down here now the tricky thing
is though it's like it's faster than
Hopper speed right so if you're just
doing item filters connected to it it's
probably not going to keep up so I I
just have a hodge podge here of like two
double
chests okay and a bunch of Hoppers
into I'll give it a
and uh I'll see if uh I feel like
bumping up the collection speed if we
need to otherwise I'll just kind of like
stop here for a few minutes every time I
visit my gold Farm you know yeah either
works perfect this is going to be a
great deal hopefully for both of us oh I
grabbed them all first step of becoming
the spokesman impulse that's right
that's right with our powers combined
we're going to sell a lot of frog lights
I
think perfect looking forward to it and
we also did a little permit trade with
pearl right sir I got a Mossy Cobble
permit all right can I please have the
one the fabled one in your hand oh my
gosh want many permits is that Spore
Blossom right I would love Spore Blossom
even though it should be in my permit
anyway thank you very much I don't know
I don't know cuz you got dyes right and
you can't make dyes from that yeah but
the permit says all Dy and flowers ohome
to flower oh very good Pearl got us our
shocker boxes for the mail system ready
here the idea behind those white shocker
boxes is we're trying to hand them out
to all the Hermits that have uh mail
systems installed they're supposed to be
like their envelopes right for sending
packages when tango and I designed the
mailbox system we tried to think of all
the possible sources of friction that
might prevent a Hermit from wanting to
use the mail system and one of the big
ones we thought of was like they're not
going to want to spend their own shers
to to mail stuff to to each other cuz
they're not going to get those back
right shers are kind of valuable early
on in the season so we we got a bunch of
shers from Doc and we're supplying them
to all the Hermits to use for mailing
stuff for free but they're not supposed
to use them for their own personal use
so if you see anybody using those white
boxes you tell postmaster Pearl she'll
get on their case right away uhuh so
how's the mail system going here well
Pearl's got this cool board installed at
the post office that shows you everybody
that has a mailbox uh working right
right now and you can see we got
probably half of them installed now so
it's going pretty good and yeah Tango
added something pretty cool to the mail
system recently as well a custom uh mail
message check this out You've Got Mail
uhuh so it's the the AOL uh you got mail
thing from the movie you know uh so
that's pretty cool it's just a a custom
music disc so let's go in the back here
I actually need to like collect records
to get this though which is a problem
cuz I've used all of mine and I've
gotten a few from Hermits but I need a
lot more of
these You've got mail but it it goes
into a jukebox in a loop here yeah let's
go head down here check out how things
are working in the network um I can
install these I think in like 20 to 30
minutes now so it's going much faster
than when we first started they were
like an hour to two hours when we first
started uh putting these in it's like uh
a little scary actually that we would
never get this done but it's going good
uh I think
um one of the big things I've added
recently to this was the Lost Mail
system so whenever uh package goes by
this Hopper it picks up one of these
lost mail tags and then it does a full
loop around the track clockwise right
and then it returns um to this Junction
if it does the full loop without going
into anybody's portal that means like
it's it's got no stamp it doesn't know
where it's going right so then it ends
up going in our lost male Junction here
um we detect that with this right goes
this way and right now I just drop it in
a hole it's good to see there's no
packages down here uh eventually we'll
probably rout those over to the post
office though I put this right next to
it um so that's good I've been having
trouble with the chunk loaders like one
out of 50 times just randomly it seemed
like we were losing one of the items
that's supposed to like bounce back and
forth one of the shears would just
randomly disappear and I would go
through the portal looking for it and it
would never be there so I don't know
what was going on I don't know if they
were getting linked to some random
portal in the Overworld that I don't
know about and I can't find or if it's
like the
lava thing for lighting the portals was
burning the item somehow I don't know I
I've just I've shut this off and just
kept them lit for now to test it and so
far I haven't had any problems with uh
item disappearing since then so I'm just
uh keeping an eye on it for now this is
my dripstone farm it does Farm dripstone
but also I thought turn it into a little
mini game try and run away from the
falling dripstone as it crushes down
behind you killing everything in its
path whenever you're ready though off
you go any tips any any uh
recommendations oh goodness I mean
there's a lot of tips on the ceiling um
so avoid those right
okay good just don't
stop oh no oh they're behind me I can
hear them it's coming oh man they're
fast they're
fast excellent yeah you are safe uhoh
get out the boat get out the
way you made
it you were there sorry I should have
told you you can exit the boat when you
get to the end that was a key point I I
missed I was looking at F5 and I thought
I was just missing the spot so
yeah it's like when someone teaches you
to ride a bike and they forget to teach
you how to use the brake right whenever
you're ready all right so you added some
delay on the the pop-ups too right yeah
yeah yeah the pop-ups should hopefully
pop up less often so as as we get near
to them it's going to suddenly pop up
but the timings might be terrible and
then we're both dead or it's going to be
perfect and then just me I'm dead
apparently well you're going first if
anybody all right let's do it go for
it oh easy oh it does make it harder it
definitely makes it harder oh the timing
was pretty good actually oh nice there
you go oh we got a pretty good path as
well Ohan they're coming scenic route
they're coming aan the Spikes all right
there we
go you run up the pressure plate jump
onto the
gravel Perfect Look at that he goes
that's so cool oh man how do I even say
that euuu is that what it is
ethu sounds so wrong uh this is a little
hard to explain I made a deal with Joe
Hills the other day he's been taken down
mountains he's got endless Stone and
Cobblestone and we have the mossy
cobblestone and stone permit and I don't
want him giving it away to the other
Hermits I want to sell it to the other
Hermits right so I cut him in on part of
the deal I think I'm going to pay him
two diamonds for each of these shulkers
which uh I don't have cuz I'm broke so
I'm might to have to figure that out uh
for next episode somehow cuz I think
he's waiting for payment now um but yeah
that's that's what the deal is with this
okay we're at the the shopping district
again I got thinking we got to work on
our shops here okay so here's the deal
we're not selling any glass it's
terrible it's it's hopeless even what do
we do about that oh let's check our
profits again oh we're selling a little
bit more okay good I think what it comes
down to is we got to upgrade from our
trash Heap shop this was only supposed
to be here for a day honestly I just
left it for a couple weeks and uh you
know the Hermits have pointed out you
know maybe I should try a little harder
U maybe it's not quite good enough um so
we're going to upgrade
to not the permanent shop we're going to
do like a proper popup shop for it for
our glass stuff and take it from there
so we still got to get in contact with
the other Hermits that have the other
glass permits and build a shop all
together kind of thing so we just want
something simple clean
looking and effective right so I'm
thinking we go
like get some andesite to highlight it
right we get this going around we will
put our shocker boxes like right here
full of glass so we're just going to do
a weird stair pattern thing here we're
trying to make it look like futuristic
almost okay so if this is the light blue
glass shop what we're going to do is put
light blue glass here do like a 2X two
Cube make it look like a giant glass
block right and then we will put some
end rods underneath that make it look
like it's holding it up and they'll
light up the glass make it really stand
out and that is our
shop oh I don't know about this honestly
I was hoping it'd look a little cooler
than it does uh but it's fine right it's
fine it's a temporary shop it doesn't
have to be perfect I'm going to tear it
down very soon I'm sure but yeah I just
uh tried to randomly change the Heights
and positions around to scatter them and
then we have our supplies in the shoger
boxes each one's color to the color of
the glass we got it two diamonds per
stack written on the Shocker box bebs
who you're in you're inside I was
waiting for you I decided to just walk
in you know that's so rude you brought
the horse in does he not belong in here
a horse has never I saw the hay bales in
here I thought it was like uh no that's
a
carpet out out not horse food out okay
no okay I know there's a lot of of
things you got to yell at me about okay
number one you're going to first of all
you're looking around you're like how
does this guy get anything done what no
beacons and clear and land and what how
what's this storage system and I
understand I'll be honest I've been that
way with you my whole life bebs I
honestly don't know what you do in this
game but you somehow make Mak beautiful
stuff happen do you want to see my
storage right now uh sure I'd love to
come look at this come this is my
storage system so and I know where
everything is so there's this what's in
this one without looking in that one
without looking is that is like some
plants stuff
mhm um just random like plant stuff some
animal stuff and drops and stuff yeah
yeah exactly mhm he you got your big
furnace array over here got my furnace
array yep yep and then this is where it
gets kind of crazy this is where you
start uh going into scar territory a
little bit a little bit a little bit
except I know where everything is um
copper right here y y oh snap I actually
came here to for a favor I was I was
going to compliment you actually but uh
oh okay okay let's do that so I'm always
really impressed with what bwo does with
his shops on hermitcraft we're going to
use it as our model our example of what
to follow with our own shops I think and
I broken it down to four main things we
got to copy all right so first first of
all B always makes his Shops look really
good you want your shops to look good
you want your the other Hermits to be
like wow did you see did you see that
Frog Light shop Etho bill it looks so
nice then they show it off in the video
cuz they're really impressed and it
looks cool and kind of like I'm doing
right now with his with B's bamboo
shop uh so that's important number two
advertising you you want to have some
way of advertising your shop so B he
went for the sign technique here big
bold signs in front of his shop to try
pull people in get them to go to his
store so every shop we build we got to
think of some kind of advertising
strategy with our Frog Light shop we're
going to get impulse uh you know he's
our spokesman he's going to tell people
about it it's going to be great we're
going to try that out uh but also number
three the shop needs to be functional
first and foremost you know when it
comes down to it the whole reason we
have these shops on hermitcraft is so
that if another hermit needs something
uh they can just quickly come down to
the shopping District picked it up and
they don't get sidetracked for hours
trying to collect resources on a project
they're working on uh when they're in
the middle of it you know uhuh and uh
fourth uh this is a thing I especially
like with B shops is he always adds some
kind of game or gimmick or some way of
interacting with the shop Beyond just
like purchasing stuff some fun thing so
with his bamboo shop here he added this
game to show try to prove that
scaffolding is actually faster than
using dirt so that people will buy
scaffolding from shop all right the the
game goes like this you pick your block
of choice okay that you like to stack up
with you stack to the top ring the bell
and then remove the pillar and ring the
bottom Bell once you ring the bottom
Bell that's it okay
two wait he's getting a head start he's
getting a head start what is this okay
okay okay I'll Stand Back on the rim DS
on the rim get off the sand what is this
get on the rim b dubs come on okay on
the rim on the rim 3 2 1 go oh snap oh
man I missed
it I'm up I'm up oh somebody told me a
way to do it wait how close am I oh I
went way too high uhoh I broke the
bell and I
win you didn't ring the top one you you
didn't ring the bell
he some idiot you know what the amount
of comments I got on my last episode
people are saying oh you should do this
don't you know you can do that and I
just tried one one of the stupid
commenters said and it's
worse you added the trapo later didn't
you no no they said go in it and start
stacking up but that doesn't work fast
that's slow okay I'm not quite sold on
the scaffolding just yet bats let's try
one more time I think one more time one
more time one more time I'm going to do
it my way all right you show them BDubs
okay shouldn't have been that trap door
up there but that's fine I'll tell you
what BDubs you can you can have a head
start okay you go on two I don't need a
head start I'm going to go at the same
time all right here we go you're going
to love scaffolding after this sure
sounds like it three two one go stacking
okay he he got those down pretty fast
and that should be enough wait he's not
climbing though yet oh am I not oh I
went way too high how do you ring a bell
wait what got to ring it on the side
what got him got him it's
a okay that was pretty fast speeds um 6
seconds
faster yeah okay yeah well no cuz side
of the hit box yeah cuz even if you aim
high on that it doesn't work you have to
go lower weird oh like even if you're on
the correct face of the like where the
hit box is it doesn't always
ring Oh weird Okay 3 2 1 go
and here I go oh ddubs has the height
hey no
cheating that's the way to do it
no oh no it's a
disaster who said put that trap door
there it's gone
again it's the worst okay I'm fixing the
trap door man this is this is good this
is bug
testing
man oh I was really impressed with the
game beat ups now I'm I'm having second
thoughts on it
actually I enjoyed it quite a lot do you
want the B it might have a couple of
flaws e you ready I'm ready got to do us
proud and also if you put a block on top
of his scaffolding it'll just
absolutely do not do
not okay three two one go go you're not
going to sleep bebs you're not going to
sleep it's night time night time you
want to play Let's Play Break Let's Play
Breaking blocks ouch all right here I go
oh there we go here we go here we go I'm
going for real no who pushed me this
way I still can't do the oh I got the
bell I got the
Bell
stop yeah business relies on this you
guys my primary jails tactic I feel like
the scaffolding is like open to trolling
someone just comes along and breaks it
from underneath you all the time right
three two one
go oh with a running start running jump
start this one's an easy one this is an
easy he's gain it on you
scar okay scar with the first it's the
way down that matters oh my goodness he
does it yeah no I call it do over you
jumped off the scaffolder that's exactly
right I did because you can't do that
with dirt but with scaffolding you can
you just sold your sold it to yourself
now you can see wow wow I'm glad I
bought my scaffolding now yes yes yes
have some here bebs convinced me we're
going to add it to our system as well
all right everybody well that was a lot
of fun but uh here's the deal I've been
trying to figure out what did we do with
our Frog Light shop ever since I got it
and I've been struggling cuz I want to
do something fun something interesting
and then I saw BAU do his uh game there
and it really it hit me finally we got
to do a game as well and I was I was
trying to think of what kind of game we
could do I think I got a great idea now
we're going to make Frogger uhhuh Frog
Light shop Frogger you know I love
Frogger guys I think it was 12 years ago
like a long long time ago I tried to
make a Frogger game in vanilla Minecraft
which didn't turn out too well I've done
it in modded Minecraft as well which
turned out a little bit better but it
was crazy comp kid I think I have a a
nice simple way of doing it in vanilla
using ravagers in Minecarts aha they're
going to be our vehicles uh I got to
build a road for them so that's what the
basalt is for here I don't think anybody
is
selling uh basal in the shopping
district so I have to make my own here
and this is a little bit goofy I'm not
sure if it's going to
work we'll find
out oh I forgot
something that's right I got to put uh
obsidian by the Pistons or they're going
to move let's give it another go here
you're supposed to build these in the
nether so the lava flows faster but
uh oh did I break it Oh no I got to
actually mine it now I
think okay let's see how fast this
is okay it's not full
speed struggling to make uh Basalt
now okay yeah we got to play with the
timings I think uh let's head to the
back
[Music]
here so what do we want slower
maybe okay we're close but it's skipping
every odd cycle
now interesting okay we got four Cycles
in a
row and then it stops for three I think
or
four h this might take me a while to
tweak how much are we at oh we got
enough okay let's go back build it man I
did it again didn't I it's another
50-minute episode oh I haven't improved
at all okay we're just going to have to
introduce the idea today maybe I'll
build the road real quick just to give
you a feel for what it's going to look
like but we'll have to get more into it
next time so let's just talk about the
plan here uh at the shopping district I
think we're going to put our Frog Light
shop around here up against this hill I
marked it with the four uh corners of uh
scaffolding okay
so it's going to be a standard shop you
know you come in you exchange diamonds
for frog lights you get out if anybody's
in a hurry I want them to have that
option but if they're looking for
something more fun something exciting
we're going to also offer the Frogger
mini game in the basement okay and I
think we'll we'll have like a Frogger
arcade game at the back of the shop you
put a diamond block in it if I can build
it if I can make something that looks
like that uh that would be awesome we
throw a a diamond block in the arcade
machine and then it drops you down to a
room where you drop off your stuff you
set your spawn once you do that you drop
down again into the actual Frogger game
down below now speaking from experience
this isn't my first time trying to make
Frogger in Minecraft um we got to be
careful not to get bogged down into the
details of trying to make a perfect
clone of the game uh it's going to be
very similar but we're going to take a
couple Liberties you know I don't want
to add a life system for example I think
you just get one life you either make it
or you don't and uh if you die you go
back to your bed with your stuff and you
can play again if you want or you can
get out of the shop kind of thing um so
that will simplify things a lot we
also I think we want to make it so you
get rewarded based on your performance
so the better you do in the game the
more frog lights will get rewarded and
on average we're going to want to make
it so you get more than if you just buy
at the shop as well so let's say an
average player does an average game we
probably want to give him like one and a
half to two times more frog lights and
if they just bought it for diamonds at
the shop kind of thing just to encourage
people to play and I think we'll do
something like this
right that looks pretty decent I think
now we're going to add a deep slate and
other texture into the road we're just
trying to get the basic shape figured
out laid out here so yeah the thing is
we're going to have to get some ravagers
probably about 10 to 15 ravagers we're
going to have them going around on mine
carts so they'll be every four blocks I
believe is what we're aiming for so rail
one two 3 rail one two 3 rail is how
we'll have the ravagers and we'll zigzag
them through the road so that they're
always in use kind of thing and not just
sitting around that way we don't need as
many of them and then above the rails we
will have gray carpets see how that
looks just so that the the mine cart's
hidden away that the ravagers riding in
and we'll probably aim for the standard
you know five Lanes of Road five Lanes
of water Five Frogs at the end we can
actually use real frogs from Minecraft
to represent the Five Frogs at the end
that would be kind of cool uhhuh but
we'll get more into it next episode and
hopefully we can get it working maybe
get some Hermits to help us test it if
we if we do that is going to be really
cool but that's going to have to do it
for this episode everybody thank you for
watching I hope you enjoyed it until the
next one take care have a wonderful day
bye-bye I bought this new microphone one
time and I bought a mic stand with it
the mic stand didn't work very well so
just as a temporary solution I stuffed
the mic in a Kleenex box as a
holder and it works surprisingly well so
well in fact it dampens the the sound
and everything from the desk and it's
wonderful I decide just to stick with it
I also play with my keyboard about 16 18
in uh up at the desk so that I have room
for my arms I like to keep my elbows on
the desk kind of like when you're eating
and stuff um shouldn't eat with your
elbows on the desk either yeah that's
rude R in Canada it's very comfortable
actually my elbows are on the desk so it
might run in
Canada this allows you to keep your
wrist perfectly straight with your mouse
cuz I keep my mouse also sideways so in
front of my keyboard instead of off on
the side of it when are you done I need
a Q&A how old is the kleenex box it's
about 5 years old or so I got my
settings written on it in Los what dude
is there still tissues in it do they
want SP help to absorb the
[Laughter]
soundes that's impressive it's a Costco
box a nice big beefy one it matches my
desk same color it looks nice I've got
one on my desk and it's
flimsy
how we need a new category is what we
need I think you need to go right to the
very end buddy top I'm not done yet I'm
not done
yet there's more so because I play with
my mouse in front of my keyboard
sideways right um I only have about 16
in or so to move it so I have high
sensitivity um I have a pretty nice
desktop though so I play without my
mouse pad
so it's it Glides nicer smoother M and
instead I use my mouse pad under my left
elbow as a cushion oh my
God I think that's about it okay get to
the end bate there's no
[Music]
