There is a recap channel, The Hermitcraft Recap, that is officially unofficial and has run for multiple seasons now! It's a great way to get the gist of previous seasons' events without watching the genuinely days or even literal 24/7 weeks worth of videos from 20+ hermits that have been coming out for some ten years at this point. They don't have every season covered, I don't think, but I know they've at least got from s6 on!

ok so since it's just occurred to me that the fandom is constantly growing and changing and learning, there's some bits of hermit backstory that I know that others might not. hermitfacts coming up:

the server was built as an equal mix of builders and redstoners (and then Joe Hills was added as a WILDCARD to shake things up)

season two only happened because Joe Hills ran a coup

tango is the father of the iron farm, before 1.14 made iron farms easy, your best bet was to ask tango. tango also modded villagers before the villager update

etho invented the etho hopper clock, revolutionised the minecraft let's play, and inspired a lot of the server to play/film

impulse is the guy behind the item sorter, and he is a master of villager manipulation, with his villager breeder being in massive use

bdubs' brother, pungence, joined hermitcraft before he did and played for season one

iskall is behind the vault hunters mod and it's really cool and you should check it out

the way cub built concorp inspired Mojang to update the way villagers work

doc is friends with the Mojang game Devs (even if they took his arm)

Hypno runs the hermitcraft website, even when he's not active on the server

Welsknight came in to defend the others in a rap battle when he was away from the server

Stress runs a fitness channel alongside her Minecraft channel and being a parent

Joe hills used to have a webcomic and do drawing streams - he saw twitch be born, and will likely see twitch die

Scar got his start in call of duty

Joe Hills thought hermitcraft was a scam when he was invited

add your own!

#hermitcraft #history #neat!#mcyt #tbh i think what a lot of new fans to any mcyters should know is that there is TONS of technical behind the scenes work that happens #bc without it you don't get voice mods or custom models and you do get game crashing lag and game crashes in general #'lets start a server/mcyt channel!' is not an easy thing to do!!!#one of the things that's kept hermitcraft going is that the technical responsibilities are spread across multiple people #i think both xisuma and joe have server back-end permissions and responsibilities but i have no source for that #it was widely discussed that grian took point on a number of plotty events like the rift crossover and all of the moon stuff #this spread of responsibility is HUGELY important to the smp continuing #over in empires smp fwhip talked about how he was thee main person doing ALL (or nearly all) of the server trouble shooting #for any non-vanilla functionality fwhip was the one who made it happen #alllllllll of those special custom models??? added in by fwhip #any and all server issues? fixed by fwhip #which he said ended up burning him out bc every time he logged in there was someone wanting him to fix something #so it felt like logging into a job instead of logging in to play on a server with his friends #this may be part of why empires smp officially said they aren't planning an s3 (among other reasons im very sure)#so yeah i think knowing there's a ton of very technical work that goes on in the background is important for understanding and appreciating #hoimiecraff as a whole #idt
