Hermitcraft S10#4: Permit My Frog Storage

hey what's up everybody and welcome to

another episode of hermitcraft aha yeah

so a lot of fun stuff has been happening

on the hermitcraft server this week and

there's still quite a few things I want

to try to get done for this episode so

it's probably going to be a little bit

of a longer one I think this episode we

probably won't get a whole lot of

building done on this place

unfortunately but we'll try to do a

couple things at at the very least my

attention is uh pulled away from here uh

this week uh first off let's just try

get the floor down get a feel for what

that's going to be like and I think we

want to try figure out what we're doing

for our storage room where that's going

to go just looking at this though I got

to say we don't have a lot of space

available like it's it's not a big

interior so I'm thinking almost we need

to go down make a basement for our

storage room I don't like doing

exteriors first because my Interiors end

up being very sloppy when I do that but

we'll we'll do our best here see what we

can make happen so usually if I do

exterior first first then I figure out

how much usable space I actually have

inside of here so this is all all kind

of consumed over here right so we'll put

a post here in the corners and then

we're going to just fill it in with moss

blocks and we'll figure out

later what color we actually want to use

for inside but this is just like a

placeholder and there we go so we got

our walls all cleaned up here

straightened out and now we have a

better sense of how much space we have

to work with when we do the interior and

uh yeah it's still a pretty good amount

right so we double thickened the walls

so we can change them whatever color we

want on the inside because we don't

really want the outside of our build to

look the exact same as our inside we

don't want to use the pink terra cotta

in here I don't think so usually with

houses I think they put stairs by the

entrance and exits right so we did the

same thing here right by the door here

we have a switch back staircase and it

goes down to the other door out here

you're not supposed to be here okay I

changed something with this guy and it's

not working out too well no no no know

oh man that guy's been giving me a

little bit of a hard time here everybody

I did my very first Farm project that

uses a the other day and I'm still

trying to figure out how they work he's

supposed to stay down there but every

once in a while he wants to come see

me uh it was working great for a few

days and then I tried to compact things

a bit more today and now he's uh he's

not staying down here all the time uh

yeah let's talk about this though so

I've been trying to develop this Bay

Area outside of our house so that uh it

doesn't go to waste um I did a project

with gem the other day to connect this

Bay up to her base and like the ocean

area next to grian TNT usually blows up

one or two blocks above the 2x one hole

You Dig so where do we want the 2x one

hole maybe at the water level how much

down will it go cuz we want we can

control that but up is is like one or

two blocks always can't control up so

maybe maybe we do do it on this level

okay so that'll get rid of like up to

the dirt here height you know yeah I

feel like that'd be good have we checked

this does this go through Tango stuff at

all who knows honestly I'll dig bottom

you dig top all

right teamwork all right it's dark I got

to see oh sorry I accidentally clicked

oh I accidentally clicked the wrong you

keep walking in front of

jam

[Music]

careful wa

got to chase it Jem Chase

it this is

crazy

whoa all right this is actually pretty

watery this might not actually be any

work for us yeah like it's all dug all

the way up to here right God there's no

haast speaking I'm

dying you poor thing who lives like this

I've been doing my whole area yeah like

not even efficiency just just like

digging enjoying it I I can do it for a

couple minutes but anything longer than

like 10 I'm I'm done oh you're so

spoiled Jam I played old Minecraft okay

I've done you don't know how many holes

I've dug with stone tools back in the

day I've done my time okay I don't need

to keep reliving that over and over I

feel like with some decor and like

columns or something it'll close it up

the will fix it good job Etho good job

Jim yeah so just past Gem's area here is

green and then the ocean and then you

got impulse over there you got

skizzleman over there Tango up on the

hill there and after we got that tunnel

all finished up gem flooded this area so

now we can uh take our boat across and

go through the tunnel we still want to

decorate this but that's probably it's a

low priority thing right but it'll

hopefully happen eventually um and as we

were going through here we found this

giant humongous cave that was flooded

already like this was all flooded

beforehand so we didn't really have to

do much with this and then there's this

this other little short stretch up to

our place so then I also had an idea for

a squid farm that I was pretty excited

to try out here using Guardians and la

and I told Cub about it he also really

liked the idea so he wanted to build one

at his place back there and uh we worked

on the project together so we each got

one and uh it went uh a little little

dicey you know nothing really went our

way but at the end of things here I

think we figured out something pretty

coolo you came to me a few days back

with an idea for this ink Farm you can

kill squid with

Axel but as you probably know the drowns

will eventually spawn and kill them as

well but yeah that's that's an issue

that's an issue what if we got some

Guardians oo Guardians I like the way

you're thinking they got their lasers

they're real cool and everything and

then we just stick one in the lake one

for me one for you yeah absolutely

absolutely and you also had the idea

like I got some alleys yes we could

potentially use the alyss to get the ink

and basically recover it for us from the

lake oh that guy's got to be on the surf

here I'll try oh oh you got me I got you

yep go in the boat oh he does not go in

the boat oh no oh man oh one's in one's

in one's in you got it yeah yeah yeah

he's in there nice there's one in the

mine cart yeah he's taking damage on the

Block oh

no oh no come milk bucket milk bucket

milk

bucket okay I got

it oh my audio cut out cuz I'm getting

attacked so much yeah same same whoa

that's

scary

yeah okay I'm taking them out taking

them

out all right I got I got this guy taken

out holy spokes my

health retreat not to

drown who needs a guardian farm when

they're all around you like

this really yeah okay I got him

out okay this is

it get in there get he oh snap it worked

yep right he's in he's in he's in oh my

goodness that was so hard C that was

that was

rough but we got it to work that's one

yep he's not attacking me in the boat so

that's that's a plus oh that's good yeah

that's that's that's I think I'm too

close to

him it's a lot harder than F5

no

uhoh uhoh too close too close he's tar

okay tunnel is coming in handy already

it is yeah very handy all right so then

I I break the dirt and the water should

flow and move the

boat oh the LA doesn't like that very

much but we don't care about him tooo

much oh no he submerged to no premature

submersion LA's free oh he's out though

yeah yep wait the LA got out of the boat

the LA is out of the boat yeah okay

interesting what happened to the oh the

other guy's gone yeah so the thing that

gave us the most trouble with this was

trying to figure out how do you get a

guardian to go into a boat cuz they

really don't want to go into a boat uh

eventually Cub figured out some

something kind of cool where if you put

like Soul Sand underneath them you can

kind of get them stuck in a bubble

column and they do this uh bouncy thing

where they get sort of stun

locked and then you can kind of ram him

sometimes he's at the surface maybe uh

maybe there there we go yeah if you just

put it on him when he's at the surface

that works too anyways let's talk about

how this Farm actually works so we got

our Guardian friend he's going around

the water patrolling looking for any

squid to kill he lasers them and then

those uh ink sacks will eventually float

up to the surface of the water where we

have our La guy he's going around

patrolling around this note block and

whenever he finds some ink sacks he'll

go pick them up they do take a while to

float up like after they get uh killed

in the water you see how far down they

sometimes sink but eventually they'll

get to the top until then the guy just

kind of hovers in the area waiting for

them he won't go into the water uh but

then when he gets the ink sacks he'll

deliver them to the note block this is

constantly getting pulsed by a

calibrated skull sensor underneath we

got that water

logged and I think this is why he

sometimes uh will come to me if he's

away from that note block for 30 seconds

I think he can lose

it and maybe when he's trying to get out

of the water like that it messes him up

anyways he delivers it to the note block

there you can see sometimes he throws it

on top of the note block he's kind of

playing basketball here he tries has to

throw it into the Hoops sometimes it

gets into The Hoppers here if it does it

gets deposited into our barrels and we

got our ink and it's actually doing

pretty good like we're it's not a bad

Farm nothing crazy though like I could

get more Guardians in the water and it

would be much faster but I'm also not

needing that much squid in that I need

to cause more lag or anything like that

so this is probably fine for now I put

the this is a player head on top of the

note block so it doesn't constantly make

the not block sound otherwise you got to

hear this all the

time so it just silences it which is

nice with this squid Farm I had two main

design goals I was trying to follow with

it the first one was I didn't want to

mess up the look of this area both on

the land and the water because I'm

sharing the area with uh Tango and Pearl

and and Cub as well I didn't want to

make like a bunch of holes through the

water for the squid to fall down or

anything like that it had to be kind of

hidden whatever I did and for the most

part I think we achieved that I did have

to put up some chain fences here under

the water the guardian can't swim

through these these too

fat oh no boy where' you come

from and

Trident no Trident okay um yeah he can't

get through these so it works as a

pretty good wall it also looks kind of

cool when you're underwater it's like a

a dangerous area or something you know

it kind of signifies that so that worked

out pretty good the other main thing

though is I wanted

to make sure we could boat over top of

whatever we did if we put up a wall for

the guardian and I just assume this

worked I tried it today and it's like

oh you can't uh you can't boat across it

the whole point of that tunnel I made

with gem was boat passage right um and

now I've blocked it off with the chains

unfortunately so we're going to have to

change this up I had an idea to maybe

try

fences um so if we put it at this level

you'll see the fence right but a fence

is a block and a half tall so maybe if

we put them all along the second level

down I'm hoping the guardian won't be

able to swim through that because he'll

only have half a block where he can here

which I think he would be able to If he

if he hit it just right so the other

option is we might then put some trap

doors above the blue ones so we can take

out the chains right take out the chains

put trap doors above so there's really

only a half a block space for him to fit

through here and I believe the boat will

go through

that unfortunately you can see the trap

doors though which isn't ideal oh it

can't go through that oh okay I was

wrong what about without the trap

doors oh it's a trap doors is doing it

okay so I think for now we'll try out

the fence we'll see see if that keeps

the guardian inside or if he if he'll

swim over top of this cuz again it's a

block and a half tall right I also want

to try out the walls to see which one is

less noticeable look at that I think the

Deep slate walls are actually less

noticeable oh I got to get my uh I got

to get my protection on oh I took it off

oh I'm going to die

no look at this mess it just gets worse

every episode doesn't it trust me though

the Shockers have been helping like if I

didn't have the

Shockers oh oh boy like these are full

full Shockers there's so many of them

all all over the place yeah so they're

helping we just need more space now

we're at that point where we need a

storage room we don't really have time

to do it this episode but I'm doing it

regardless uh just something real quick

here to get us going so I was thinking

about this room should we put the

storage room down here kind of marked

out some some space we might need and

it's like no there's just not enough

space so I decided let's let's go down

underneath the staircase I think we'll

have some bubble columns and way up and

down here and then look at this we got

it prepped already aha yeah so we've

been doing this whole shulker refilling

system ever since uh season 7 of

hermitcraft I also do it in my single

player so I've talked about this many

times at this point I probably don't

need to go into too much detail but the

idea is I keep like 16 Shuler boxes in

my Ender Chest at all times these have

like every single item in the game

nicely organized for me and then we want

to have some way of automatically

refilling these so I don't have to

manually search out like where's my

slime where's my target blocks and go

through all my chest finding stuff we

just want it to kind of happen for us so

we keep a shocker box in the station

here and then whenever we need a refill

we just swap it out with one in our

Ender Chest pop it in there and we get a

brand new one and it doesn't take any

time whatsoever and it's amazing and I

love it and I'm going to keep doing it

until uh anything better comes along in

the game which uh it's been a few years

at this point where I think this is

still my favorite thing so this is uh

this is very simple to set up as well

all it is is like a 3X3 thing here you

put the chests over top the hoppers in

this Arrangement is what I like to

do and usually up above I'll mark like

this is the Redstone shocker box so I

can easily identify it without having to

look through the chests uh but yeah

that's that's all there is to it that's

one station done you do that for all 16

of them and uh these five hoppers allow

you to automatically refill 25 items

into the Redstone kit box here and

basically you keep five different items

in each of the chest usually I give each

item nine rows in the the double chest

and then you have one bonus one at for

any extra stuff you want to throw in and

there we go we got it all set up it only

took me a few minutes the the

challenging thing is getting the items

inside of course especially if you don't

know how you're organizing it which this

season I know how I'm organizing it so

it's going to go much smoother

I want to talk about a couple little

tricks here just in case you don't know

them that can really save a bunch of

time if you ever need to copy a shocker

box don't like try to figure out like oh

Stone goes here um there's my chiseled

Stones all I do is empty out my hot bar

press q q q q goes in my hot bar in the

exact same order I do nine at a time and

now I've got it from left to right just

put them in if you don't have all the

items like it works best once you have

everything filled up in here all the

items in the game but likely you're not

going to have everything in the game

right so what I do until then like as a

brand new season of hermitcraft here I

don't have much stuff so I just start

off with filler items in The Hoppers

right until I actually get stuff to put

in here it's not really worth adding

anything until you have at least three

stacks I would say or more um so for

example I got plenty of cobblestone here

I can easily add that to our system and

then what we do is you you figure out

where it's going to go uh throw it in

there and then you take out one of the

filler items and now Cobblestone has

been added to the system and you can see

it automatically refilling all right

everybody so that's the main piece of

our storage system figured out it solves

most of our problems but not quite all

of our problems no no

no what do I do when I want to just drop

off a shocker box at our place and have

it get automatically sorted so I don't

have to think about anything well this

system doesn't do this this is more for

item retrieval we're going to need

something else right and you know you

got to keep in mind hermitcraft usually

these Seasons last one to two years so I

don't want anything too crazy I don't

want like thousands of Hoppers and

something so I was thinking maybe we got

to look into multi item storage so I was

looking into that I was trying to design

my own and as I was doing that just the

other night I came up with something so

simple it's almost like a multi- item

storage system very compact it doesn't

even require Redstone we got to have

something for taking the the big items

out of our shocker boxes like the

Cobblestone the sand Netherrack we take

out those big items and then we're going

to get left with all the little scribbly

straps you know you you got your seven

name tags your two beetroot seeds four

Oak stairs all that stuff I don't want

to think about I want it to go into

storage somewhere automatically so

that's what this is for this is like the

last step of our storage process and

this is the pattern to it it's very very

simple all we got to do is like two

Hoppers per double

chest so one goes to the left then the

next one goes to the right next one goes

to the left next one goes to the right

and then on the next column we can make

these columns as tall as we want I'm

just going for four because it's nice

and easy to reach that way oh I missed

that one same thing so it's a three wide

repeating pattern here basically

and we just do that

again and then in between The

Hoppers we put some fence

gates so right here and then right here

and then right there that gives us this

big wall of Hoppers and fence gates the

idea with the fence gates is we're going

to use them to hold the water in place

that we're about to add so we're going

to be sending a hopper mine cart or

several Hopper mine carts through the

system at a time and the idea is they're

going to enter from the left here going

this way and then it'll fall down go to

the left this way and then fall down go

this way and this way so we got to add

the zigzag water streams here so you got

to imagine we're going to put glass in

front of this as well so that it'll flow

to the right and then the next one will

flow to the left and then the next one

will flow to the right and we just keep

that pattern going uh until the

bottom I guess I can probably put the

glass on already actually no reason not

to um so as we go we'll put the glass

I've never like built this I haven't

tested it really I don't know how good

good it's going to be I like to do like

a little

experimental storage room every season

of Minecraft and this is my fun little

thing for this season so I'm kind of

excited to see how it's going to work

out if it's good or not you know that

kind of stuff but I think it's going to

be really cool I'm hoping I'm really

hoping okay so then when we get to the

bottom here we need to run the hopper

Mine Cart mine cart under this Hopper

still so we we do it around the bend

here and then we're going to set up a

water column and then it's going to get

started back at the top there and zigzag

its way down on the next column is the

goal so we will add water here power

rail will hold it in place like that and

then the bubble column will be over here

okay so we got our bubble columns built

up here and our goal is to connect this

bubble column up to uh that water stream

we want the mine cart to go over there

so to do that we want to go down here I

think one

block and then when we put water here

it'll flow to the right and flow down

and then we can connect it to a power

rail need a block here power rail will

hold that water in place so this goes

three blocks

long then I think we need a solid block

here and I think it's very important we

have the ramp in the rail but we can

break it afterwards and put down the

lever like that so when the mine cart

comes up here it should hop on the rail

and then go into the next water stream

all the way

hopefully all right and then we just got

to make the solid water so we'll we'll

plant a kelp bone meal it to the

top and there we go it's all done very

good well that's most of our setup all

finished up here so there's not a lot to

this um we will have to add some

controls for managing the hopper mine

carts and like recycling them uh

figuring out how many items they can

pick up and stuff cuz I think we can

only move like 15 to 20 items per Hopper

mine cart at a time we can send more

like dozens of them into this thing but

they can only drop it off in The Hoppers

so quickly as they're passing by it is

kind of the limiter here but yeah we

basically we give it some items to sort

it'll go over top the Hoppers zigzag its

way down and we have to establish like

how we want the items to be sorted in

these chests so I'll probably take our

shocker boxes here our 16 shocker boxes

and fit those into eight of these chests

so again we just do that copy thing

where we queue it out I got to be

standing at it too

and let do

this right and then we assign those

filters into the chests these chests

have to be full is the Only Rule here

don't we don't want to have any slots

free but we can put like multiple stacks

of the same item in if we want if we

want to get like nine stacks of uh seeds

for some reason we can do that um but

when it comes time to emptying these

we'll have to do it manually it's like a

semi-automatic system like it'll sort it

but once the stack is full of something

something then we'll have to take it out

and put it into like the system over

here or somewhere else right otherwise

it's going to end up into the Overflow

chest at the end which we can then use

to figure out like what is full as well

but yeah the trick to this the reason

this

works is the hopper mine cart runs over

top these Hoppers and then it drains the

contents out of the hopper mine cart

those items try to get placed into this

double chest if there's any matching

items it goes inside if there isn't they

stay in the hopper right and then when

the mine cart passes below it pulls them

out of that Hopper down to the next

thing here and starts putting it into

this chest or trying to and if they

don't go into there they just keep going

down and down throughout the whole

system butth yeah that's great we got

two storage things set up now which will

take us a little time to get organized

it'll keep me busy um I can get rid of

the stuff now on my

lawn um anyways let's go check out some

other stuff that's been going on on the

server over here we got ourselves an XP

farm everybody we finally got that dual

cave spider spawner hooked up here I got

a light switch on it so we can turn it
