10 months of not being online on the Hermitcraft Server and Mumbo is still the richest hermit

He for sure is isn't

Another avgeek watches hermitcraft???? 👀

​@AlphaStar yes it were

Ye

​@Marley it actually takes time to build stuff and he's also been dealing with some serious crap recently, they are people too, so give them some grace.

why not raise the dolphin highway up 100 blocks or so and go OVER the buildings? would b easier! :D

How would it work to go uphill? Would it just be water elevators?

if you use glass and leaves and such, you can also avoid casting a shadow on all the buildings below!

Just make a roller coaster 😂

Hi

Or under ground would work either

One of the more rare items I can think of is the glitched leather helmet. In the secret tree rooms of Woodland Mansions, there is one chest that can contain an Efficiency I Iron Axe, but the game can glitch out and give you an Efficiency I Leather Cap instead.

Got 17 in one chest so far

Me and my friend found an iron chestplate with efficiency 1 is that the same? We played on Bedrock Edition.

I remember finding one of those!

I thought that was only possible in Bedrock? :0

Yeah, I was wondering why that was a thing. Thanks for the explanation :) I found one and have been confused about it for a while lol

I have never heard a more accurate summary of etho's build style than "whatever direction he fancies at the time"🤣

Good ol ~Von Sway~

Here's a little tip for building the backs of builds. Make the back... into the front. Seriously, add a few rooms there where you enter from the back, and that'll help with the necessity and motivation to actually do stuff over there. If you don't frequently visit a certain side of a build it's easy to neglect it, if you make all sides of your build important, then they tend to get less neglected.

Yeah that’s a good idea

Ooh I like this tip, thanks

The first Decked Out was amazing, but this second one is absolutely blowing my mind and it's NOT EVEN DONE YET. Seriously, the amount of detail and dedication Tango has to that build? The End aesthetic of just the lobby? Absolutely amazing. I just- there are no words. (Also, I love Grian's obsession with rare items. I absolutely get obsessed about similar things haha.)

Seems like Tango really likes Decked Out haha!!

You should check if Zedaph needs double tall grass for the “hall of all”, you could make some profit off him or at least a cool collab

@LasevIX_ shhh. I know but it got likes so I left it.

@SIN Methodical wrong comment buddy

@Michael Moore that was sorta the idea, yeah

And because he has 2, he can keep one and sell one to Zed.

@WhiteRabbit huh?

how to finish the back of the base: realize you've built the base facing the wrong way, and you already have it done. now you just have to build the front.

You should try find a blue axolotl, theyre super rare!

Hear me out, Subterranean Cetacean Station. Cetacean [see-tay-shun] is the family dolphins are in. Subterranean, obviously means underground. If you guys were to build the track underground, you wouldn't have to worry about disrupting builds or the sight line. It'd be pretty cool :)

this!!! the way it is now is horrible and i hope he doesn´t destroy awesome buildings for this crap

Assuming a village has about 5 chests, and the chance to get tall grass in a chest is 1% , the chance to get two or more tall grass is 0.098%. wow!

Some suggestions for highway: Mysticat seems to have already said to make it higher, which is a good idea, and is half of what I was going to say. 1. You could make a sort of hub like in the nether. This would provide a good stopping point, and you could change directions a bit easier. 2. With the angled road, don't have flowing water going off of either end. It seems to be pulling you off of the road. 3. (Possibility, I'm not sure if it would work) Maybe put dolphins all along the road. This might keep the effect active, therefore reducing the number of times you would need to slow down on the highway. Again, this might not work, idk.

have you considered making the dolphin highway underground and just having easily accessible stations at every major stop? This seems like a perfect opportunity to just make it a subway.

@Nightmare "when has the hermits ever done something 'the easiest approach'" Every episode? With everything that was for purely practical purposes? The only time they don't is when they're going out of their way to be creative, which mainly happens with pranks and builds. Everything else is just messing around, not trying to hyper-optimize for increasingly niche scenarios. You're thinking of Scicraft if that's the impression you got.

@Naokarma when has the hermits ever done something "the easiest approach" and no you can't say not doing the back side of builds

I think either this or at build height, build height would be less work just cause you don't have to also dig a tunnel, but both have pros and cons

@Zhop Yeah a subway would be very cool like the one they made in Keralis’s city during Grains base in base “phase”. At least it would be easier to get the dolphins underground then at the build limit. I mean also seem them building it through the two buildings. Or a crazy solution I had using an Enderperal stasis or some other tricky to pass the buildings (highly unlikely)

@Harrygold8 Y'know what, that's probably what they'll go with if I'm being honest, just making it turn left then right. I think a subway system of sorts would be cooler solution but by far that's the easier one

I love how you got so excited about finding tall grass. I feel that entirely except I'm obsessed with trying to see all the music discs recently in survival. Real Minecraft nerd pride😁

You should make a Pether Nortal. Yes, it’s a bunch of fancy red stone, but it is a mega flex

A projectile protection + protection helmet is the rarest its obtained through trapped skeleton horses

28:11 perhaps you could drop down into the ground and speedy under bdubs’ and scar’s shops, then pop up and continue speedy running to everyone’s bases? Not sure if this idea would work, and the mining would definitely take a lot of time, but it’s an idea! :)

That or just have the entire highway be underground like a subway!

How did all of you guys accidentally end up building in basically a straight line this season?

This episode is secretly for Mumbo as a catchup.

@Sturmfalke ][ ranch

@Noob slayer New The joke was catchup.

@Sturmfalke ][ mayo.

@Sturmfalke ][ mustard

Ketchup?

Deepslate coal ore is very rare too, just like the deepslate emerald. Your collection wouldnt be complete without it!

In addition to putting (grey) glow lichen on the green blocks, you can put vines on some of the grey blocks around it. Keeping vines from spreading is as easy as right-clicking with shears.

The soul soil road could be made into a "rainbow road" type of mini game, like a race track you can compete on. Also a very scenic race track that shows off many parts of your world.

When Etho joined the server this season, he found a double tall fern item in a taiga village. Same with tall grass, it's the only way to get the item.

when Scar and Grian tried to summon Mumbo they even did a sacrifice! without noticing it lol!😂

*Evo flashbacks*

Definitely gotta be double tall ferns next! As they also cannot be sheared or silk touched! They are only found in taiga village chest!

Start a war to get the dragon egg

Either this or getting enough fragments to make record 5. The following are a bit less rare, but: deepslate coal, stone redstone ore, or stone diamond ore. Or finding a fossil with diamonds underground? Though that can literally take forever.

That was gonna be mine

that would have been my suggestion aswell :D

What about using red stone ore beneath some glow lichen (or vines but vines may be too harsh) to give the effect of small flowers growing in some of the mossy parts of the build. You could also try it with Lapis, diamond, gold or emerald ore if you're feeling flush. Maybe even coal ore for your more spooky builds.

Every one of your YouTube videos that are titled with "It begins" or "let's go" or "Lets starts" has performed very very well on YouTube. Theyre part of your top 100 most viewed videos. This begins a new beginning! Hoping it hits one of your tops ❤️

Have you experimented with different angles for the highway? a 15° angle is a lot straighter then a 45° one. It might just work for a short section to get around the shopping district.

Have you thought about doing it underground? that way you can even have some nice speed effects due to tunnel design

The amount of times I have seen the grass and fern stuff in chests and have literally taken the chests’ contents and tossed those things on the floor to despawn is a great deal. I may hoard a lot of stuff, but “rare” stuff like that just never really gets used where I live. Although, a museum of artifacts, fossils, and rare finds might be neat to have…🤔

Surprisingly, Deepslate Coal Ore is very rare because most Coal spawns above Deepslate level

Deepslate Emerald is the rarest block in the game, since emerald ore only spawns in mountains, and at high y levels, thus deepslate emerald is rarer then Netherite.

@Muhammad Raihan emerald in normal stone is super common

But what about the emerald stone ore? I saw it when he flew away from the village (video at 17:11)

I found 10 in the same patch of coal in my world, using it for accent blocks

bro i just mined a bunch without silk touch! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i'd suggest adding an entrance on the back of your build so you see that side more and thus are more motivated to finish it. also a reason to approach from that direction :D

It'd be so neat to see some kind of inspiration from the nether castle from one of the previous seasons hanging from the rocks! Like, an upside down village, maybe? Or a crazy tall house like What Remains of Edith Finch!

this may be a bit late but itd be cool if you designed the water travel system as if it were an aqueduct with archways underneath, you could maybe even push it and ask if you could integrate the aqueduct with the peoples builds its going through to help with the look and maybe add some design

The large fern is one of the rarest things in the game

not really since you can pick it up with sheers. compared to the tall grass you have to find it in a chest

Deepsllate coal is surprisingly rare

Large Fern is just like the tall grass however it only spawns in spruce villages and deep slate coal and normal diamond ores are also pretty rare!

You could bring back the Time Machine and get itemized fire

Deep slate coal is super rare

Not as rare as deepslate emerald, but yeah.

@8-Bit Dragon Ive seen quite a few today

Deep slate copper ore is rare to.

If you want to go diagonally, you'd have to significantly widen the track and that would require more dolphins in order to get the full effect across the entire track.

Amazing! It makes me feel like I want to rewatch ALL hermits video. Im even rewatching season 6

From the front, the new building makes the entire base look more like a single build and the upper rocks look less floaty.

The double large fern, which can be found in taiga villages, is also rather rare! :D

Your building looks amazing, love the idea and the gradient! 💚

For the speedy highway problem, to avoid cutting through the builds of other hermits, why not bury it deep underground, or raise it to the sky above all the buildings, that way the X and Z coordinates stay the same but you just change the Y value.

@Kaycee Carson Something with slime block's maybe? i think that could work! with trip-wires you could literly jump over a building, plus you get a nice view

I believe I know the answer, though I am only guesssing. Running it underground may also cause issues with anyone who has mining or farms beneath their base that expand across the region. It might also be harder to plot a course after so long into the season as it would be to plot one above ground. The only disadvantage I can think of for putting up high is that it may not be asthetically pleasing. True, it may not be asthetically pleasing now... but I suspect the flourish that will be done to it might dominate the skyline far more than a simple roadway may. Again, just guessing and not intending to project my opinions on this. I could be wrong and I don't necessarily believe that such a thing would not be asthetically pleasing nor do I know if it would be that hard to run it underground. I'm just purposing why Grian thought this might've been the best choice. True, he may be underthinking it. Or overthinking it... since he put it above ground. :D

this is what i was thinking. why not put it at the deepest point possible? the sky limit might be an easier option but it might not look as good

Like it could literally shoot them over the base and they land back into the straight away water I wonder if it’d work

I was literally about to leave a comment saying this

Honestly, I'd probably put the super speed highway underground. It's a lot of digging and will be hard to get the dolphins in there, but on the plus side you don't have to worry about going through any buildings. Plus bubble elevators are awesome to use.

I love the new castle it reminds me of a miniature hog warts castle!

The castle looks fantastic! I really appreciate the mini tutorial of the moss gradients too. I find it easier to naturally integrate new techniques into my own building when it's explained so I can't wait to get working on things! As for the speed highway, it'll be a bit more work but if you can't go through shops and can't go around shops, can you go under shops? I mean have it as a tunnel like a subway system. Downside of course is the digging but some hermits like Pearl enjoy mindless mining at times. Whatever you end up going with, I can't wait to see it!

This is perfect I just came back from a couple mont break of grain and am pumped to be watching again!

I was worried earlier when the boulder felt off balance due to the building on the right. The stone castle bit definitely returned balance the build!

You need to turn one of the buildings on your floating rocks into a "Museum of Strange Oddities" and display your rare items in it in some fancy way!

@your.niichan yep, that's the one.

@Wendy Hughes I think it's Zedaph

Isnt someone already collecting rarities and offering rewards for??

Me??

Yes

I have a feeling that in order to bring Mumbo back to hermitcraft we have to bring him back Taurtis summoning style.

I want to see the hermits try and do a whole season in the RLcraft mode pack

I wonder if you could design a bubble elevator/drop down chute for the speedway to go under the shops. Whereby the momentum of your running would propel you to the drop down, whilst going over the bubble column, allowing you to drop down or go up, depending on the direction you are going.

For the diagonal speedy water highway, what if the sides were open fence gates? They don't have collision boxes, so you can't accidentally run into them.

I think I remember hearing with the new ore distribution deepslate coal ore blocks are really rare.

NAME SUGGESTION: “The Mantaway”. The Manta Ray is an Aquatic Animal whose flaps look a bit like Wings, so the Dolphins and Elytra parts are represented, and a Motorway is a permanent structure to travel very quickly, mostly in straight lines. A different/earlier idea I had was “The MonoWhale”, for similar reasons, but it doesn’t include the wings, plus whales seem big & slow.

ngl monowhale kinda goes hard

YES

mantaway supremacy

MANTAWAY SUPREMACY THIS IS THE BEST NAME

i think the rarest block is a block of fire? bc u could only get it in the early versions of minecraft. also finding double double tall grass was pretty chobblesome

what if you just started approaching your castle from the back? So that way it’s actually the front and you’ll feel compelled to complete it. I’d only suggest doing so once the front is finished though

Etho's content makes me so happy so it's super heartwarming to see him mentioned and appreciated hehe also oddly enough, I've found multiple of the double tall grass items just wandering around haha. I think I have 3. I also have something like 10 or so deepslate coal ore... and I think one deepslate emerald ore? Maybe? I can't remember. I've also been collecting any normal stone diamond ores I find. the drafts made out of diamond and gold blocks hahahaha

Grian, I like the idea of the road. I think its a very funny idea that Etho came up with. But whould it be better if the road was underground? This way you can avoid all those problems that you mentioned earlier and also it might look a bit better if the speedway wasnt ontop of bdubs roads going through the shopping district. Just a thought, and glad to see hermitcraft vids back again!

A simple solution to the back problem is to not have a back. Or at least... when designing your build... don't build it in a manner where it's only seen from one side. Try and build it where it looks good from all sides. If you start your builds with this in mind, it actually makes it a lot easier to do.

Also have you considered making the dolphine trail more like a subway/train rail and let it go under ground during the shopping district with access points you can fly into??? It'd be much cuter and interesting than a line in the sky AND just as fast and easy to access. While being able to make it very bare bones and just putting it as a subway line that can be very copy past (and have the ability to have hermits potentially throw graffiti in the tunnels 👀🥰

wow good idea

@Minalkra ofcourse! It would be far too much of a shame to hide all of it. I'd love to have only the shopping district underground proper, whatever Y level that is I mean. But letting the cute world be shown as much as possible 🥰

Instead of putting it ALL underground, having some 'viewports' into the highway might be a good way to draw attention to it. Digging a deep hole, designing the landscaping to be interesting and having a glass roof over the subway during that part will allow the runner to be seen. I wish there was a way to gently step-up/down the path so that it's not a huge bother to change elevation ... a path of four or five waterlogged halfslabs to change half a block, repeated a few times to change elevation without interrupting the speed? So block-block-lower halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-halfslab-lower block-block-block-block-block-even lower halfslab-halfslab-etc?

That’s a really great idea, but just keep in mind that the entire tunnel would have to be dug out. Considering that the Hermit’s bases are several hundreds of blocks apart, it would be a serious undertaking.

@Aarush Patil but what if someone’s base is underground

Another rare thing is Large fern which is found in the spruce village. Its just like tall grass, can only be obtainable thru chests.

I played Minecraft yesterday on my survival world and I looted a savannah village and found some tall grass. I didn’t know it was rare until I watched this video, which sent me on a 30 minute run to the village, and another 30 minutes back. It is now hanging on my wall.

Half of this episode is “Grian pops off over touching grass” nd im lovin every second of it

i feel a war breawing for that dragon egg now that HE wants it

The castle you built this episode looks like it has a face, just like the face you accidentally built on the villager farm a few episodes ago.

Grian should make a summoning platform for Mumbo, just like he did for Taurtis in Evo

@IMIBUKS same

@CowCow1015 yea Miss that series....

He made it in scars stream

Yes

YESSSSSSSS

A double fern is very rare. I think it spawns in taiga villages.

Grian excitement for the tall grass is refreshing- my current world I’ve been trying to collect everything in minecraft for a museum build and I react the same

Look for double tall fern plants in spruce/taiga villages, same way you got the tall grass.

Efficiency 1 helmets can only be found very rarely in a woodland mansion

21:46 maybe you could make it front facing all the way round, so that the back is always attached to the rock!

What if you went under the bases? Made the dolphin tunnel underground, like a mini subway from a place like NYC, I think that you look pretty cool, and every part where it turns you can have multiple off going which have like an estimated 'time of arrival' and each person can decorate their station. Sorry for any mistakes, I'm trying quite fast here.

Absolutely adore the idea of it being a subway!!

This is so cool!!! I love this, what if each person were to make their tunnel decorated in theif style, of course the long one would have sections and drop off stops but that sounds so cool!!!!!

@Bruce Marsh you could make the shops underground with it if you wanted to and the 'shop scar' you could still trigger underground. It just depends on how far down you go.

@dark_knight80 by the time u got to the sky highway, you might aswell just fly , it's all about efficiency

Cool idea

The water stuff is a great idea for a train station for shops

I don’t know any rare items in minecraft but you could put them up either for auction between the hermits or maybe even better make a exhibition for it. Maybe sort them after time period in which those might have been normally found within every different period section of you floating build 👍🤔 then of course charge entrance fee for the hermits to visit

You can get tall ferns from spruce villages aswell.

Yeah, your special attack in that card game should have been, “Build my back please”, but “Start a War” is still acceptable.

Grian gave me flash backs to when I got really gassed up about getting large ferns (basically the same as tall grass but only found in spruce villages)

A nice idea to tackle the issue of the shops and interrupting other builds and whatnots, would be to build it underground in the form of a sewer; It wouldn't directly stop in front of each base, but it would help with it being a straight line; and as a bonus it would look very aesthetic, having a massive sewer system from one base to another, perhaps with small bubble elevator themed pipes going up and down to each base-stop

Sewer cats? YES?? Also, I reckon keep as much of the highway above ground as possible, it gives the viewers a nice sense of what's where, especially if hermits will be using it a lot.

Either over or under to avoid other peoples bases. Water logged stairs on soul soil maintains the effect and allows you to go up. Down doesn't work as well, you shoot forward faster than you fall so you loose contact with the water briefly, but it's not terrible. Don't forget splash potions of Swiftness 2 along the route for that extra little bit if stupid speed. :)

Or they can make It underground only for shopping district with magma/soul sand elevators and transition around shopping district would be to just fall while running and on another direction just a soul sand elevator, or just a hole for elytra fly, or if its so complicated just fly over shopping district and continue highway on opossite side, avoiding some shops. Its like reverse of metro, where most stations are underground and a couple of expections made for on ground stations. Plus it will give unicness to the shopping district station

And to be fair, it doesn't have to be all that much underground. Just 20 ish blocks lower that it is right now. It still will be above ground for most of the way it seems!

If they turn it into a group project, it might not take too long. Especially if it becomes community transportation. Then they can keep adding pipes the more hermits that want to connect to it.

In your base you should put a room of oddities! For all the rare items you find!

A big fern is the rarest found in a spruce village

I've never seen someone so happy to have 2 tall grass lol

*Walks into therapy* Therapist: "What seems to be the issue?" Grian: " *The back.* "

Rare item list: End portal, End portal frame, bubble column (hotbar) and Nether portal block (hotbar) I don't know how to get these but some people do, the end portal frame is only possable if you downgrade minecraft to when they were first added, so that's not something you can do, look up a tutorial and they will show you what to do

I still can't help but feel like moving the entire "rail" underground is the way to go. It's sort of an eyesore up top. Cutting through buildings and all that as well....Could have some fun with it. Making it like a nice little train station/subway station at every base it meets up with, each hermit decorating their stop with their own styles.

The main issue here is time, the more time you are spending even going to the underground portion of it to start is time away. Is it faster to drop down into say 64 blocks and then take off and then use a bubble elevator or is it faster to just take an elytra right over it for on and off purposes.

I don’t think it’s an eyesore and it’s better if the ending is above ground but just like real life railways I think it’s important to have it do both. Go above and underground.

There is a risk of cutting through peoples underground projects I think.

I SECOND THIS IDEA!!!👍

Nice idea 💡

What if the dolphin highway goes through the shops but gets integrated into the design of the building? There are many real life residential buildings and hotels that have train and rail systems going through them!

Btw its like a 6/10000 chance to get 2 tall grass in one village (depending on how many chests there are)

just treat the back of the base like the front of the base 😂. idk if that would help you overcome your mental block. also if you look at your base from a side view all of the rocks and everything are perfectly lined up vertically. maybe in the future you could add more depth to the rocks and have some of them closer and other further away. just a thought

"I need to find some more rare things" Grian says while flying past an emerald ore which is a pretty decently rare block

What if you just had points where you dropped straight down and run parts of the highway underground, then bubble-vator back up to the surface when you're in the clear?

I really want to see a video of Grian getting that therapy about the back of builds, but Mumbo as the therapist

He did back lol

@DannyBonk or better help

@DannyBonk lol

He could do it as an audible sponsorship 😂

What about creating a random platform in the sky. And from there, the high way would go above all the buildings. It would be cool to have a transportation up in the sky

Really like the gradient you used on the castle.

I swear I was just waiting for like episode 12 to come out, how am I this far behind

Late comment is late - but on the topic of the back of your buildings, do you think having someone building behind you might encurage you? So you could cosider both side of your building the front? I find when I am not building for "anyone" as it were, I get a bit de motivated.

Similar to the tall grass, you can get something called a large fern from only a Tiega village, "spruce." you are unable to use sheers on large ferns, if you do you only get a small fern.

if you want another rare item to search for, there's also the double tall fern. Which is found in the same way as double tall grass, except it spawns in taiga villages instead of savannahs.

I think I heard deepslate coal and stone diamond are meant to be rare; gilded blackstone is only uncommon but potentially challenging to get; there's a snowy grass block you can only get from enderman griefing; the thing and snout banner patterns, Lena Raine's disks and even though they're old news at this point, I think Notch Apples still count. There's very few things AS rare as tall grass, but plenty of things rare ENOUGH to round out a collection.

Really enjoyed the format/style of this video!

Congratulations you have been selected as random winner of my giveaway DM via above content to claim your prize.

What about a storyline where you make a gallerie with all your fancy itens and your dragon egg that you obtain "fairly" (buying or making a favour/job) and thennn IT GET STOLEN! Then you have to discover who did it with you detective friends, and then the group that stole it have to hide it and sabotage the investigation. After you guys "fight" then the egg get donated to a museum in the shopping district rather then your personal gallerie.

You could open a “Grian’s Rarities” show case room now that you’re collecting rare items!
