Regarding the ending: I actually really love the fact that you DON’T do mega builds in this world! Of course those are awesome too, but these small-medium builds are just sooo much more inspiring to me in my own survival world! It’s quite difficult to make small builds look good because there’s not a lot of room for detail. But you do it anyway, I learn so much from these!

Agreed. Mega bases are cool but I don't feel that this world needs one. However if she does make one I think it will look amazing like the rest of the world

Too bad that functionality overtakes aesthetics in Bedrock Edition. I swear villagers choose to walk into the rock face instead of the stairs RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!!🙄

LET'S GO! This is my favorite series of yours! When an episode comes out i drop everything to watch EDIT: The art technique you were talking about with the tree not blending into the horizon is called tangents. It's best to avoid tangents so your shapes can be read easier.

21:39 I love the unintentional wordplay "I really want to branch out" as you are building the tree. The cherry tree looks amazing! Love the falling petals. Also, cleaning lady Pearl is watching with tears of joy as you build and organize the storage room.

Hey Gem, your "keeping some room for air inside the tree" tip helped me a lot. Previously, all my trees looked like broccoli stems, but now they look much better. Thank you so much!

I normally don’t comment on videos but this channel inspires me a lot, and I’m always excited when a new video is uploaded. I love live streams because you’re watching people do stuff while feeling like you’re a part of a conversation with someone, and that’s the kinda vibe this channel gives, except you don’t get mad at yourself when you’re ALWAYS LATE to the live streams. I know this comment was cheesy, but if there’s even a chance Gem sees this, I’m willing to let it be known that you will forever be my favorite KZreadr. ❤

I actually really appreciate the smaller stuff. The slow pacing and everything is just so relaxing and fun to watch. You doing this series has been such a joy. The tree came out so beautiful!!! Having the lights hanging down with the cherry leaves is just so lovely.

gem sounds so happy and i am happy too, i love the cherry tree, it's always a good day when gem build a tree, it's a classic, it's her thing, i love it

I love the addition of the portal tree! To me it creates a narrative as to why the village is there. Maybe the villagers came across this magical tree and the abundant Cherry forest and set up shop to take advantage of the access to the nether. That’s why they have nether related blocks and so much Cherry, and the tree isn’t IN the village because it’s special. The addition of the wood path around to the front feels like they built it there a long time ago, and like it’s intentional. 10/10!

Love this series Gem! This village is beautiful! You mentioned struggling with the amethyst/cobble mix, I find adding glow lichen to them both makes them blend better :)

Portal tree turned out so good. Amazing how you can freestyle something like that so quickly. This series has been great

Gem’s probably my favorite Minecraft KZreadr right now because her builds are always so beautiful, fantastical, and inspirational!! I especially love how she explains her thought process. It always makes me want to boot up the computer and make something new and challenging. Mega builds or not, this world is AMAZING

Thanks for always lighting up my day Gem! We love you 💕

I've been struggling to figure out where to move my portal in my own world. There's a small cherry grove near me and after seeing this I'm def gonna make a giant garden with a customs cherry tree portal similar to this💕🌸🎀

Really hoping for another episode in this series. Been binge watch and love it so much

tree looks great gem !!! the village is coming together so well. ur idea of connected a bunch of different villages across the world sounds like sm fun and i cant wait to see what you come up with!!!

I love the idea of having this world be small/medium builds. It feels like I can play along with the series. Very cozy and fun!

Loved the episode, and looking forward to this series and hermitcraft!!! Thank you for all the content you make!!

0:04 GENERAL KENOBI! Love the series, Gem!

so happy to see a new episode! I binged the other episodes in the christmas break and am very happy to watch it more on time 😁

I definitely understand not wanting to do mega builds in this specific world and I love the idea! It's inspiring to watch. One thing you could do if you wanted to do a slightly larger build without completely mega, is you could build a village for giants. So there are larger buildings and stuff, but it's not quite mega. If you don't want to do that, that's totally fine and I understand. But it was just an idea I had because it would still fit in with what you wanted to go for in this world for the most part. I love this series, Gem! Everything is looking so good!

KZread IS DRUNK IT SAYS ZERO LIKES WHEN I LIKED IT! THE QUEEN POSTED! I REPEAT THE QUEEN HAS POSTED! THE TREE LOOKS GORGEOUS!

Now I can just imagine Gem with a New York accent: “I’M BUILDIN’ HERE!”

Small builds deserve love also. You do an AMAZING job of making it all look cozy.

I adore Gem's enthusiasm

I’m so happy you’re sticking with this world for the year, tbh I wasn’t so satisfied with the way you ended the last hardcore series so I’m glad to hopefully be seeing this world make up for that. I’ve been here since the early days and I’m staying till the end❤️

so happy this series is back!! ❤

I just recently started watching Gem, and I'm loving her playstyle. Most of my friends think my playstyle is weird for minecraft, but here we have someone amazing with a similar playstyle but more style than me. Also 2 months later this video still needs to be added to the playlist.

Great way to spend my free time today! I am loving this series !❤

gem’s never beating the cottagecore queen allegations!

You should built a little train system with cute stations at each village and little fun sights to see along the journey that would be so cute.

You making a tree portal actually really helped me with mine I wanted to make one but had no frame of reference as to how I could be approaching it, and just watching your tree come into existence gave me an aha moment to building it Thank you Gem!

Wooow i love this storage room!! the color palette is so amazing, and is interesting to see a whole room only in these colors, since in the village is also a lot of dirt grass and stone. Missed this series! Very glad its back!

Your cherry tree builds inspired me to do a full rework of an old village!! Thank you for the designs

Okay, I am SO HYPED for the village transformation series!! It sounds so fun and cozy and amazing 😍 Can't wait to see that!

I love how you could add this new tree to the lore. Like in the distant past there was some magic that created the tree. Which made the lands and people prosperous, the people grew the seeds of the tree and built their houses from them. Etc etc. You could go anywhere with it. Im loving this world so far. Excited to hear that you have more long term plans for it.

I am VERY excited to see what is in store for the new year!

Your vids are so amazing and I love your builds! ❤

Amazing series! So happy you got a storage room (and an organized one at that)! The tree is so gorgeous, absolutely beautiful! I was wondering, can you show us how these builds look like at night? Odd request I know, but I am very curious to see what it would look like. I don’t which vibe your going for (town that never sleeps or town that is very calm and quiet at night) but I really think the gorgeous village would look quite beautiful at night, and I’m curious what vibe it’ll give. Love this series 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Loving this series, it's so cosy to watch while doing some arts and crafts. The builds look amazing and all the little interconnected details bring so much life and warmth to the world :D.

Listening to you talk about the layout of the overall build in painting terms, I think I spied another aspect of why having the tree on the lefthand cliffside works so well: when you look at it from the bridge, the Portal Tree parallels the Cartographer's Tower to create a sort of frame-within-a-frame effect, drawing the eye down into the valley framed on either side by tall structures. I'm a trained photographer, so FWAF and Rule of Thirds principles are kinda ingrained in how I look at arrangements at this point. Granted, it's mostly useless in the day-to-day, but for projects like this, you've demonstrated exactly why it's an invaluable set of tools to have in your kit.

I love your cherry trees, Gem! Very Bonsai, especially the taper from the roots in to the trunk (the nebari), then out again at the branches. Very nice.

Thank you for telling us that these types of builds take many hours to complete. It is so daunting to watch a 20-30 minute clip of a tree or other large creation pop up and think "I should be faster. That was done so quickly, and it takes me hours to even get close."

I think the impressive thing with mega builds is when theres perspective. If theres no more medium or small builds we lose the perspective to be able to appreciate the mega builds. This series is a very calming, cozy, beautiful palette cleanser.

I love the sounds of your plans for the world and your year :). Thank you for sharing and building fun things to share!

the fancy art word you’re looking for is tangent! a tangent is when elements are so close together that it kinda breaks your eyeline and distracts from your focal point! the village is coming together so nicely!!!

Imagine if she built a little train system with cute stations at each village and little fun sights to see along the journey that would be so cute.

I’m glad for the slower pace and the smaller scale, if I’m honest I’ve been subscribed for a long time and I’ve been missing those slow, smaller level building up of worlds that I’ve grown to associate with the channel

YAY! Let's go!

Yes! The idea of a world full of villages that are conected and unique is amazing. And if you wanted to satisfy that "grand build" you can make sort of a unique landmark for each village and let the viewers write the lore! :3

Omg that tree is the prettiest tree I have ever seen and your village is coming out sooo gorgeous and soo exciting to see this world all come together throughout 2024 keep it up gem

Never thought about the sounds blocks make when you walk on them. Something really usefull to remember when you're gonna hear it a lot.

the slower/smaller pacing of this world is something that keeps it relatable and makes it feel like something everyday players can be inspired by and not feel too daunted trying to create similar scaled projects in their own worlds!! so cool to keep following this series and i love the way you’re approaching this world🥰

You got a lot done in this episode. The portal tree is so cool looking, especially from the opposite bank! I also really like the ‘bed-park bench’ detail for some reason. I can’t wait to see this world continue to develop! 😁

i love to see all the small scale stuff it just feels so immersive

Your first hard-core world is how I found your channel it was a very good world and I always wondered why it ended love all of your videos keep up the good work

i love many smaller scale builds, rather than one big build !! it's what i also prefer in my own worlds, so seeing what you create really inspires me :)

I love the smaller projects. Much more feasible to get inspiration from

I love the vibe Gem! I look forward to the other villages and your gorgeous creations. I will be here for all of it. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Stay warm!

I’m so excited for the next episode! and I love your plans for this year. hermitcraft and this hardcore world are my favourite series of yours!

So excited for where this series is headed! I love the small and simple projects to slowly transform a world❤ Village transformations are some of my favorite and I can’t wait to see what styles you choose for the next villages😁 Happy New Year Gem and keep up the great work!

I finished the playlist of hardcore videos yesterday and was sad I’d ran out, then realised this video existed and hadn’t yet been added to the playlist! yay for unexpected more hardcore gem!

I'm so impressive the play-style you choose for this series , Gem. I just completely watched through many 1000 days series of various KZreadrs and I have to say that I really love the way you protect your villager as well as their hometown ❤❤❤ You made these transform and renovate process became more realistic by try to re-build new houses at itself situation as much as possible ! This make me feel so sastisfied ! Hope to see more videos that you will connect many village by a road system, build many iconic town and have a most beautiful hardcore world you ever build . Keep Goinggg❤❤❤

Geminitay being the Master Treebuilder is a true vibe.

i love the smaller scale and more thorough detail you have in this series! it feels very relatable and it's really fun to watch the converted village expand outwards

Also, I built a medium sized cherry tree that looked way too dense… Your air pockets trick instantly made my tree look so much fluffier!!! Thank you Gem 💕

Fantastic ❤ happy new year! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us ❤

Gem, I'm so living and grateful for your smaller scale builds this season! I'm getting into being a builder myself, but mega bases are absolutely terrifying and daunting for a little noob like me. Watching you build is both fun and educational for me :DDD So again, I appreciate your slow and small scale pace~!

this world really is coming together!! i'm adoring it and this series more & more with each episode; this lovely little village is getting cosier with each video; fantastic work gem! you're such an incredible inspiration 💚 i myself aspire to be a tree master too :>

The planes fore this world sound really fun can’t wait and many you could do a pole on what village to make next

I relate to the issue of fixing up a beginner storage way too late. I did the same thing recently, it took me about three hours to organize 😅 I really love this series. It’s so relaxing to watch and the village is beautiful.

There are so, so many minecrafters out there who build mega almost every episode. Now you are an incredible builder, I watch you because of your personality and, as the kids say, the vibes. You sound like you actually enjoy the game and have fun with it and that is really all it takes for me atleast.

I love the idea of renovating other villages in future videos! Also I think around 19:00 you were talking about avoiding tangents. Tangents are where lines, curves or corners meet but don't intersect. They're not very aesthetically pleasing, lol. You have a great eye for composition, can't wait to see more. :D

longtime listener firsttime caller: im so thankful to hear you taking a turn towards smaller builds! i went thru uni watvhing your 1.16 and 1.17 worlds and they have such a warm place in my heart, and i think the fact that you made smaller, more accessible builds was so inspiring and make them feel human-scale to me. they werent the mega-projects of, like, elite players at the olympic level of minecraft (which you do v well on hc ofc heheh) but they feel more interesting to me. idk ive always preferred a smaller scale, and i like that you share a little of your life with us on these singleplayer worlds. you make minecraft seem doable in these smaller worlds!

I'm actually really excited to see what you're going to create now with all of these villages!!😊

I like learning about people I just like to hear your plans they inspire me

Gem + tree = Happy Mee!!!

I LOVE the cherry tree it does everything you want and more it really does bring everything together

I love the cute theme of the village ❤

Binge watched this series as I crocheted a bat plushie. It has been very nice to watch the progress of Gem's projects and of my own little guy over the course of the episodes. :D ♡

Love the more “medium/small accessible builds” I always get inspired watching hermitcraft and such but get burnt out trying to build a mega base

The tree looks amazing! As always, you’re so good with organics, I love how the village is all coming together :D

We need a before and after picture of the village. To see how much gem has changed it 😊

Fantastic! I love your trees, and the bed benches was a fun touch

Love watching these videos with my very enthusiastic 8 year old. Great work. Fun series. Thank you.

My jaw dropped when you put the detail in the bottom of the fountain! I love that it adds to one of the most subtle parts of the block pallet for this base that I adore!!

I think taking your time and re-imagining villages in hardcore is amazing. It's much more chill and it sounds like you're having a lot of fun doing it this way. It's very inspirational as well! Also it all looks so good. Love the tree.

I'm praying that the portal connects to a semi-safe place. Imagine doing that huge project and you end up over a lava lake. It does look beautiful, though.
