The hermit permit system is an amazing idea! There's so many ways it could end up playing out, but I expect that some people will trade to get multiple permits for collective items and then have a small group handling all the glass, wool, etc. Think the permit for the dyes would be another good one for Cub to have since he needs all the colors for the rockets anyways. Will be interesting to see who is going to make farms for their dyes and who's going to buy them from the shop. Hope the fireworks shop will take off and people not only use it for overkill crossbow projectiles.

One of the charms of minecraft though is there is a lot of, not boring things to do but relaxing things you can do while sick. I wasn't trying to do hitless runs with a fever but I sure can dig a hole.

Cub it would be cool with an administrative building in the shopping district, where the hermits can see who holds what permits and maybe track the transitions and maybe even the profits of the shops. And after watching doc's episode, maybe it would be smart with a regulatory agency to oversee the transactions of permits between the hermits, so the deals stay fair and the shopping district doesn't become a fight for territory... haha I'm mostly kidding ofc that would be great content xD

Cub-isms are so funny. Referring to 'complimentary mining videos' is so Cub. Never change my friend!

The shop design could be a firework launch tube with glass fireworks being launched and exploding in the sky, it would be really pretty and visible 🌈

Going to, also, setup an autocrafter to make random fireworks in your shop? Fill the randomly generated fireworks into that sunset fireworks show. A dispenser, daylight sensor, and randomizer( for deciding the number of rockets to shoot each sunset/sunrise transition) loaded with fireworks at each base would make sunset AMAZING everywhere, aye. Bonus: Make the sunset fireworks dispenser as an add on to each hermits mail box AND/or offer random firework reloading service when they have bulk mail setup... ;) Get a custom stamp made just for reloading the sunset fireworks dispensers. I'm feeling it too.

Oooh a factory/shop in which you could select exactly what you want to craft, and have it on demand…that’s an idea

okay but imagine a fireworks shop where the hermits can choose any firework and through redstone trickery and autocrafters any possible firework variation can be assembled in store

Challenge: You could make a crafter system where someone sets the presets which they want for their firework and your shop/machine crafts it

i can imagine a black market arc could be a thing for this season

I can imagine Cub is going to build a massive factory that collects the firework resources, and he is able yo customize the recipe from a central control panel.

With crafters, you can have the fireworks built on demand. I think it is amazing. You can buy some ingredients from other hermits wholesale. I think Doc ended up with the dye permit.

I have to admit I like strip mining, sometimes. When I'm too tired after work to bother fighting mobs and I can watch videos while playing my favorite game. Hommage to TFC also ;). Anyways thanks for the video, it was great. I'll watch the one about cave mining for tips.

I imagine a fireworks shop, that every so often fires a random firework on the shopping district, it would be cool

An interactive create your own firework shop would be so cool with the new crafters. You can set up a display area to show the different effects. Then press buttons to make your selections and set a quantity to have them auto-crafted. Hold a competition to see who can create the best firework.

With 3 shulker boxes full of extended night vision potions (8-min duration each) = 10:48 (10-hours, 48-min) total duration time

Cub you could also open a sub-shop service that installs “firework launchers” at hermits bases that could help make your dream of the firework skyline more a reality! 😂

I love cub's science experiments!

With the crafters and this Hermit Permit, Cub can automate a self-service firework factory in which people build whatever firework they want. Sweet!

*20 minute Cubfan video ends Me: I wish there was more *47 minute Cubfan video ends Me: I wish there was more

Would it be possible to make a "vending machine" that auto crafts fireworks based on the user's inputs? It'd be a Sahara scale machine but I think you could pull it off.

38:54 "...shout out to Cub, he helped me with the lists and the building." (Experience tells me Cub did more than 'help.' I'm betting it was 80:20 Cub.) Although, to be fair, the idea was very important and counts for an additional 50%.

Cub i love your dedication, just like outside of the game, researchers and documenting data make so much difference and progress in a field, in this case minecraft. I love how neat you make it and how passionate you are :)

Thank you Cub for devoting so much time to science. Especially while you are not feeling well. Much appreciated. I'm glad ores spawn more in caves. You get to enjoy the world and still make a profit. Thanks again.

Kudos to Cubfan's signature build style. I feel like It's truly unique among builders and is always full of bold and wild choices. It's a celebration of creativity, the grind, and all the textures minecraft has to offer! Its always fun to watch these builds come together because I never expect the block palletee 😂

42:15 the perfect unision

I am SO EXCITED for the fireworks. When you said you wanted them, I said of course you want them. But then it hit me; the autocrafter will make the process so much more enjoyable! You could even have a craft you own rocket section in your shop, like the build-a-bear shops.

The fact Hermitcraft never gets boring is insane even after over 10 years

As a lover of the ConCorp base from season 6 (I think?), I hope someday you revisit the “free roam villager” concept because that was my fave thing ever.

So if I want to make a 1:1 scale replica of the Great Pyramid with a lapis lazuli floor I should go strip mining. Got it 😂 xx

What you are not taking into account is that strip mining will give those resources reliably, while for caves you need to find the caves and you are not always going to find them. So strip mining still wins. And the caves can be full of mobs which makes you waste time fighting mobs or brewing potions. So while you in theory can strip mine without stopping, caving requires you to stop, which would diminish the amount of resources you get

I cannot wait to see what the shop's going to be like, Cub! It's pretty rare to see explosive fireworks being used, but hermits are a creative bunch and I'm sure with great marketing they'll come flocking to your store!!

the ultimate grind challenge for the grind master - actually selling all the fireworks possible xD

Hermit Permits are a wonderful idea. Just brilliant. I like how the distribution turned out. Seemed very balanced and fair. I can’t wait for the rest of the season

Might I suggest that for the bamboo and sugar cane farm the overflow switches to pumping into either composters or a smelter

Hermits: Why is my game crashing every time I even look at the shopping district? Cub’s fully-automated shop containing 2x10^136 different types of fireworks:

Thinking back a few seasons, this is where you need a Mayor for the shopping district. To issues and revoke permits and to police the illegal trade of goods and counterfeit permits. Something the Ministery of Ministers might be set up to do.

It would be a massive change, but I'd be interested in seeing a Hermitcraft season where all farms (other than food of course) are banned. The grind, bartering, and shared struggle for resources would make for a super interesting season I think.

Iron: Iron Farm. Gold: Gold farm. Redstone & Lapis: Cleric. Diamonds: Useless as soon as I get mending. The only reasons to mine are deepslate, tuff, and calcite. What's better for that, strip mining or cave mining? ;)

Fun fact... If you rewind the video all the way to the beginning and keep tapping skip back you can make a nice snare beat with an occasional dog bark if you time it right and then Cub comes in with the drop 😂 enjoy

I appreciate the change to ENCOURAGE users to explore and not ruin the experience for those that continue to strip mine. The cave generation (since Caves and Cliffs) is just an amazing addition to the game. Truly cavernous wonders to behold! I usually strip mine early on, due to safety, then explore later. When you're geared up, I love getting lost while resource gathering.

That would be so cool of your dream of all firework being fire at the same time. Maybe you can organize an event during New Year (If this season ongoing till that time) or other festival.

Will definitely need to take advantage of crafters to automate the firework making process. Could even figure out a system to randomize them

I was confused why you would trade for explosive fireworks when flight rockets were the popular type. But setting farms up for explosive foreworks knocks off like 10 other permit resources from your shopping list, so thats clever. Oh and also, make a mob head farm because creeper fireworks exist.

Cave mining is so much more fun, more dangerous, yes, but more fun. When I strip mine I go at -54 and do the poke holes on either side (as Cub did) plus up and down.

Thank you for testing strip mining vs caving, I always wondered why i felt that strip mining wasn't worth it anymore

Once your cave is "stripped" your future return in zero (in that cave). But tunnel miners can continue in the same area as many resources remain.

Gilded Blackstone is a great trade! Everyone likes it, but no one wants to gather it.

for the firework shop, you could do something where in one section of the shop you buy ingredients, and in another, you load them into 3 barrels, where whatever is submitted in the first is auto-crafted into firework stars, in the second into adding fades, and in the third into the final rockets.

Tunnel bores beat strip mining AND caving if you build them wide enough. Mine is 9 chunks wide. Btw, I love how the permit looks like a huge hand when you hold it. =) Looking forward to seeing the firework factory rise. I hope shop customers will be able to select exactly the fireworks they want, using redstone "magic".

I had no idea you could make that many different types of fireworks!! You gave me goosebumps with your vision of hermits shooting off fireworks all over the place! Cant wait to see all the farms you make also:)

46:16 could be used for an end of season “look back” on the world.

Wonder how much deep you'll be with the fireworks and crafters system, gonna be fun ! Also hope to see lots of them in the minigame district coming up ! Was wondering is there more unique fireworks or custom full armor witht the trims/colors/tiers combined ?

Caving is superior to mining simply because it’s way more fun.

I think it might be fun to use a variety of different explosive fireworks instead of flight rockets to get around. What better way to advertise than colorful explosions wherever you go?

It's better to strip and then go caving. Totally refreshing

46:15 would be a beautiful way to end the season next year.

I would say use silk touch. This way you can remove the extra error in the amount in gaining a random amount of diamonds with the fortune. The amount of time you mined and the amount of diamond ores you mined makes it smaller.

I think strip mining has still some merits if you like to build with blocks like deepslate or tuff or if you lack the fine motor control or reaction time to deal with too many hostile mobs. Also it’s pretty relaxing, so I wouldn‘t exactly say it’s dead, just because cave mining is more effective in terms of ores. They just have slightly different purposes wich is great in my opinion.

People should hire you to make firework shows

I love the precise research Cub does on these episodes. Very educational.

Ok, Cub, here's the challenge. Build an Explosive Fireworks shop that is ONE shop that let's people pick and choose their own combinations, and then with redstone and autocrafters. Build-a-Bomb!

Imagine a firework shop where you can simply select the desired effect and that sends a signal to a storage system to dispense out the required items and it auto crafts the fireworks and sends them to the player

I'm SUPER stoked on pyro cub antics this season!! A huge magnificent fireworks show IRL is one of life's many special treats and I think this is a great way to have fun w/ the other hermits getting to benefit. awesome choice

The permits sound like a good idea, but in my opinion, there should be two permits of every type to inspire competitive pricing and avoid the situation where the only shop that sells x is out of stock for extended periods (and you go build your own farm for that item to avoid the delay).

"i will hear no other arguments thank you very much god bless" lmao

Cub I think you just want another excuse to call yourself a rocket scientist. all jokes aside, the work youve done with the shuffler and the mining and the tier list is astronomical! you are awesome sir!

Branch* mining for method 2. Strip mining involves stripping away layer after layer of ground.

I love your brain. Adding the math of the explosive fireworks numbers possible is epic.

When Chicago and the UK unite, you get Permits! 😂

I just realized how crazy firework rockets are with the crafter. It's literally a game changer. I'm so excited haha
