Hermitcraft 10: Episode 16 - THE FOREST

Thank you all for your lovely messages about my recent building episodes. I am now home from my climbing trip so will be back to more regular Hermitcraft episodes - cool to hear how many of you are boulderers too! 🪨

I just realized, that since the permit office is only open 1 day a week, 3 business days is actually 3 weeks.

Now if the Permit Office calls your iron shop a pop-up shop, you can act offended as if they've insulted your building skills.

20:20 Cub’s death message (being blown up) as the firework salesperson, and then immediately typing “no regrets” is the funniest thing I’ve seen

New backstory idea! Remove some of the trees and make them as cut down ones and build a crane in front of willys picking up a tree and transporting it to his shop!

Mumbo has to be the most grass-touching minecraft youtuber out there

I find it so funny that, in both the short and long term, every interaction between Mumbo and Iskall always comes down to "I'm going to add something until he notices"

Use galvanized square steel, some screws you borrowed from your aunt and eco friendly wood veneers to expand your apartment.

16:03 That binary code that being translate to "I MISS MY DAD" really hit me.

Grian trying to maintain order and mumbo verbally rebelling against the rules is frying my brain right now…

Mumbo: Builds a base where you have to die to get in Also Mumbo: “I absolutely CANNOT lose these 300 levels!”

"Custom trees" and "terraforming" are two phrases I never thought mumbo would utter. You are doing great with the builds this season. Excited to see what you plan to do later in the season.

15:34 after working for 342years Little Mumbo finally gained 32 diamonds enough to buy an apartment only to find out it is only 6x6 blocks wide, using galvanized square steel extend the room by 1 block using bolts borrowed from aunt then cover it with Eco Friendly Wood veneers durable for 1,000 years

One thing you might want to consider Mumbo is that most trees actually have quite a lot of air in them. If you look at Bdubs's forest, you'll see that his trees aren't filled in completely with leaves, but have pockets of air. That may help to keep your forest looking a bit more leafy and realistic.

Mumbo, you can pull a Pearl and change some leaves to colored glass (it makes the leaves less busy and airs them out)

The forest looks really good! Some tips that may help improve the busy-ness you mentioned: -Leave some gaps in the leaves so that the trunks are more visible through the leaves -Place fewer leaves and leave air gaps as much as possible so that the canopy doesn't look as solid -Use azalea leaves towards the top of the tree and mangrove towards to bottom to get a gradient effect which also looks like sunlight hitting the tops of the trees. Also, mixing in additional leaf types to make this gradient transition even smoother Again, I think the forest looks really good and I'm so happy you went for the grey trunks. Great job!

I live close to the Fontainebleau forest, and I used to go climbing there when I was a child. To be honest, even though it's not a perfect imitation, I can feel how that forest inspired you. The trees, the sand and boulders and everything. Plus your build looks really cool! Maybe just a tiny bit too much moss on the rocks. PS: I've been watching your videos for several years now, and every single one of them gave me so much inspiration...

Mumbo is truly a MASTER negotiator. First he almost makes Grian give up ALL his permits and his mending book, and then he gets a mortgage down from 315 diamonds to 32!

It's kinda funny to me that you took inspiration from a forest with mostly european red pine and then made trees that have a leaf crown (actually needles for both trees) looking much more like a european spruce 😄 Not saying the trees look bad, just amused. Also the reason the canopy is so flat and the trees so knobbly is the fact the pine are acclimated to very arid terrain. Remember all that sand? And so they're very economical with how they grow. They shed all but the branches that can have needles in direct sunlight so they have maximum photosynthesis with minimum evaporation. This can result in some really funny stuff though. I've seen a pine that had a "branch" as thick as a small tree growing to the side at a 90 degree angle for a few metres because there happened to be a hole in the canopy of the small copse of trees it was growing in.
