The World of Hermitcraft is split up into 5 different factions: The Nether, The Aether, The Overworld, The End, and the Deep.

The Nether is a place based on innovation and commerce, and is notorious for it’s cutthroat businesses. Many of the industries within the city are based on the technology available or about getting as rich as possible. It’s insanely capitalistic, with those at the top seeming to almost be bathed in gold, while those at the bottom barely get enough food to survive. It’s here Impulse and Tango got their redstone expertise, building their first contraptions from the scraps the upper crust threw in their brimstone villages.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, is the Aether. A place so high up in the sky, it doesn’t even leave a shadow on the grounds below. Many of the residents here have the ability to fly, and maneuver in between the floating islands. Many of the Overworlders used to worship them as gods/holy beings, but the inhabitants of this plane are far from divine. The Aether noticeably lacks any kind of money, with many of the villages relying on trades of goods or services. However, it was once locked in a ruthless war with the Nether and it was in this war that Skizz met Impulse and Tango. They tried to blast the others faces off when they first met.

The Deep is a society that lives at the bottom of the ocean, in sea glass domes and underwater caves. The residents in the Deep pride themselves on their expertise in the arts, be it musical theatre, painting, or architecture, a single Deep Painting can sell for millions of emeralds in the Overworld. Many who live at the bottom of the seas develop amphibious qualities, including water breathing, fins, hills, and even bioluminescence. XB swam up himself from the bottom of the Deep to reach the Overworld, and it’s here Joel once took a trip for inspiration for a project, only to meet the love of his life.

The Overworld is considered dangerous and weird to the other factions. While the other factions live in relatively static climates with relatively similar biomes, the Overworld is unusually abundant with contrasting flora and fauna, who all just want to kill you. The undead clawing up from their graves, the fae courts awaiting some poor sucker to fall into a deal, or even a simple small insect can be your end. Many of the hermits who hail from the Deep, Nether, and Aether, are still pretty weirded out by the concept of “seasons”.

The End is a very… isolated society, with not many leaving the confines of its starry skies. The End is a dimension of nomadic voyagers, making it very rare for any end society to stay in one place for very long. In fact, it’s so rare to see an Enderian citizen because all the portals leading to The End are all in disrepair after a long period of time went without interaction. These are made even more difficult as the magic that powered these portals attracted the attention of the apex predators of apex predators; End Dragons to the portals. It’s said that an Enderian is born when a star falls from the sky and collides with the earth. Xisuma and his Brother reached the Overworld after finding and subsequently destroying a still functioning end portal.

One of the funniest things about hermitcraft imo is the varying relationships between the devs and the hermits

Because on one hand you have some veteran players who have affected the very way in which minecraft has evolved, who have shared servers with the devs, tested new features or gotten references added to the game on their behalf, such as Doc, Xisuma or Etho

Then you have players who haven't interacted much with the devs but get sponsorships from mojang to promote various minecraft events or products, like Grian or Joel

Or hermits who don't have any relationship with mojang or the devs beyond that of your average player, like Pearl or Wels

And then there is Cub who is knocking on the lead developer's bedroom window at three in the morning with a list of every promise they have ever broken

Chapter 15

Happy valentine's day!! :9

The first half of this is Why X made Hermitcraft and where everyone came from and then the second half is watcher stuff which I think is really cool.

Ok so I Hc that there are multiple different reasons Xisuma created Hermitcraft 1) was because he wanted somewhere safe where misfits alike could band together as a weird mishmash family 2) a place he knew was safe and 3) to make a place were individuals who were running from their pasts could stay safe

- JoeHills is hiding from a couple of crazy obsessive Exs

- Doc is hiding from mojang

- Scar is escaped his insanely toxic religious family and some people he got on the wrong sides of.

- XB is there after a messy server corruption that was blamed on him and is a wanted criminal.

- Etho and Mumbo are running from scientists

- Impuse and Ren were running from the military cause they deserted.

- Skizz was running from actual gods but they gave up a while ago.

- Joel is trying to find his wife but stuck around on hermtcraft.

- Pearl was trying to escape Evo and really needed help

- Gem is actually a magical princess who ran from an arranged marriage to live out her life as a strong independent individual and since then her kingdom is crumbled and no one knows where the she went and was titled The Lost Princess

- Grian well we all know why he's there

- Cub was part of a super secret government project but left after the scientist lost the subjects and because of conflicting morals

- Bdubs commited war crimes while trying to save someone's life but ultimately he failed

- iJevin was running from the Watchers who had taken a bit of a liking to him.

I have more that I will build upon cause writing this is cool

Now Little bit of context for the watcher stuff I mentioned

Watchers are like god-like deities that were worshipped long before they became corrupt and evil with power, now only followed by cults. Some players still pray to the Watcher Xelqua since they are the only watcher to have gone against watcher code. Anyways They would prey on players scouting out the most talented ones and experiment on them. Seeing how they could change them, they took Grian because he was a promising young admin, they watched the players of Evolution and when the time came they took Grian made him a watcher and he escapes into Hermitcraft.

Xisuma specifically designed Hermitcraft to be watcher proof as 1) he hates them with every fiber of his being and 2) majority of the hermits (himself included) have a possibility of being kidnapped by the watchers if found by Them, for example Doc and Scar they would be seen as extremely powerful potential Watchers.

Doc because of his genius, technological skills and the fact he fought a mojang admin and lived to tell the tale.

Scar because of his strength in magic and that he's part vex.

So when Grian, Mr escaped watcher guy, drops in they're all in fight or flight mode, though most of them are ready to behead G. Obviously Xisuma is the one who handles it and all is good in the end.

The reason why the Watchers would want the Hermits is because they are all 'pure' their raw skills and determination alone is what makes them such a good group,

- Pearl because of her magic and her connection to the moon

- Mumbo and his experiences with cults and the fact that he's a vampire

- Gem and her otherworldly abilities,

- iJevin because his strength and smarts,

- Scar with his magical abilities and vex stuff

- Doc because his technology genius and cause he survived a fight with a mojang admin (he's the first and only one recorded to have lived substantially afterwards)

- Xisuma because of his admin powers and voidwalker power

- Ex same reasons as X

- Skizz cause of his angel counterpart

- Grian cause he's one of the strongest player turned watcher they've made and they want him back

- Etho cause of his cryptic eldritch powers and unknown hybrid status (there is reason to believe he is from the void)

- Cleo because of their skills in necromancy and magic.

And so on

They mainly aim for those who have magic already since they can enhance it and they're less likely to die but that's not always the case.

And that's all I have for now

The best quotes from mumbos new episode:

- it is time to craft some hermits

- we've got the world's smallest industrial egg farm

- i don't know what's wrong with me, I'm just really enjoying mass pollution at the moment

- if season 8 was peace, love and plants than season 10 is pollute, poison and plants, industrial power plants of course

- Jill is there to buy everything, if it even looks remotely curious she'll want to buy it, even if it's totally falling apart. Bill is there to make sure it doesn't totally fall apart

- I hope this doesn't break the illusion too much but uh, Ron has no body

- time to kill myself many more times. Wearing many more heads

- now it's time to die a lot. And do you know what the most effective way of dying a lot is. Messaging Geminitay

- I'm not gonna complain about e-girl mumbo

- you're so much more naked

- look gem I was only going for the heads, I didn't know what the bodies were doing, I was only looking at the heads

- you wouldn't kill a child dressed as a dinasaur would you gem - mumbo

I would - gem

- now this one's just called puffa jacket

- you look good in pink

- I was captivated by the handsomeness but no you're right, I don't have a mouth

- you know that did more psychological damage to me than any hit with your sword

- if you kill this guy all of Argentina is gonna come for you

- gangnam style dude

- I can't kill punk babe

- your knees are nude and I hate that sentence

- I'm like a goth icon

- knees are out, strong brows, shoulders are out, you're in danger gem

All in all, it was a hilarious episode and I love mumbo

Mumbo once kill a man with a lead pine.

Yeah okay I'll incorporate that into my belief system

[peskyvinot]

had the same thought .......

do you think someone should email etho the clip from the end of potato war three about how number one isn't a prize, it's a prison. do you think he'd listen. do you think the reason he's been gone is that he's been busy following sun tzu's famous advice (don't put all your tactics in youtube video, you fool, you imbecile). do you think he even knows what a potato war is,

Life Series Spin the Wheel Game

Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in a season of the Life Series.

You'll need allies; roll a d4 and then spin the player wheel that many times to see who you end up teaming with (if you get repeats, re-roll). They are only as loyal as you'd expect them to be, given past performance.

Unfortunately, you also managed to wrong someone early on - whether on accident or on purpose - and now they're out for your blood once they turn red. Spin the player wheel again to see who you've got hunting you down later in the season. (If you roll a teammate, feel free to reroll.)

But what's the gimmick? Spin the seasons wheel to see what mechanics, if any, you'll be dealing with. If you get Last Life, roll a d6 to see how may lives you're starting with. If you get Double Life, the first player you rolled for your alliance is also your soulmate. Good luck!

☆Tuxedo Duo!!☆

Mumbo and Skizz looking similar but just being the opposite is so funny. This dumb cat au is taking over my brain??

Again!! Any design ideas, I will take in with open arms! <3

cubfan135 fact #478:

Grian had a dream about Cub once

[peskyvinot]

you know at the start of the season we were all commenting about how grian would rather be fishing right now. but the key difference between grian and etho is that grian simply complains that he would rather be fishing. etho vanishes for months, letting his friends and loved ones wonder if he's perished, his job without him, his ravagers starving, his home slowly decaying, and us with no videos, having left behind only a vague message: gone fishing.

anyway congrats etho on number one at mcci fishing,
