I would autocraft tnt but not rockets. It would take up more room. 1 gunpowder and 1 paper makes 3 rockets, so I think it's better to store them seperatly rather than autocraft them. Instead of 1 chest of gunpowder, and 1 of paper, it would be 3 chests of rockets. Actually if he wanted to autocraft rockets I think he would set that up in the shop whenever he makes it so all he has to do is drop off gunpowder and paper and it'll restock it.

@ScenicFlyer4 this makes sense, maybe it could also be something like it has a shulkerbox packing and unloading piece so autocrafting fills a shulker -> shulker is then broken and put into a chest. Once that chest is full of shulkers all full of rockets, it disables autocrafting and then all the ingredients backfill into chests or something. That way he can immediately grab rockets instead of waiting on crafting yet it won't over craft them either

For the price of the Rockets you could also make a list/book of wanted items for use as currency instead of just diamonds; for example - 32 x oxidised copper blocks per stack, or 128 oak logs (2 x stacks) per stack of rockets. This makes it a more creative way than people just going and mining tons of diamonds and buying whatever they want and you yourself also get more out of it.

I just assumed the hermit permits were just a complicated way of tricking mumbo into making a profitable shop.

So when talking about the concept of items not having value, I think that it also creates the opportunity for people to maybe sell experiences rather than the item. For example, what if you did a cut grass game where instead of just selling the cut grass you had to like, collect as much cut grass in a box as possible before time ran out or make a cool redstone grass dispenser instead of just the chest full with diamonds. Obviously not everything is WORTH buying just to buy but if you make a shop like bdubs did for moss, you get a fun build, fun content, AND diamonds.

High schoolers in 5 years are gonna be learning about hermitcraft in Econ class lol

the problems with the shops are moot when you consider that this isn't an open market, its a market set up between 27 'friends' to meet non-existent demands. The whole shopping district stuff is basically entirely superfluous and only exists as a method of making entertaining content for people. As such how well it works at any given time depends entirely on how you all decide to play it and agree on the stuff you think would be fun for both yourselves and your viewers. It started as a way to promote new and unique builds and mixing the hermits together a bit more (what does hermit even mean anymore!) Has become season long stories and builds with stuff like sahara and the octagon, has become the igniting factor for wars and conflicts etc. Having some sort of specific goal for that aspect of the season is just a great way to add structure to an otherwise fairly structureless game and I for one enjoy the attempt! Waiting until people start selling bootleg items that are reskinned to look slightly off and for the server to split into the black marketeers and the police, probably under the neighbourhood and rendog because of course >

Yes! It's like every time i run out of content... Iskall-Man to the rescue!

Starting with a higher price in shops is a good idea, because you can always lower the prices if you find they're too high but it's harder to raise prices if they're too low because nobody likes prices going up.

You should put soulcampfire instead of regular campfire they deal twice the damage so you get rid of the creepers faster and so they respawn faster

Iskall, move the campfires up and use soul campfires with a faster killing rate than regular campfires.

I thought the permits where interesting. I don't usually check about hermits that I don't usually watch, but I've checked about more than usual, just to see which hermit got what permit, Kermit.

7:04 No Iskall. First you check them for iskallium head blocks then you confiscate the leads and llamas, then kill the llamas in front of the wandering trader, and then burn them to death.

Switch the campfires with soul fires. It kills them faster. 12:35 calcite, polished diorite and diorite work really well together Iskall. Try them

I would have the wandering trader sell compasses like that. Would make it actually useful. Then the compass would lead you to things like a mineshaft or a trail ruin or a rare biome. That way it’s different than a mansion or ocean monument map. And it’s like the trader is telling you about places he’s been.

Insted of diamonds, you could sell for stuff that's annoying to get that you will need, like sand, deepslate or something... Someone suggested IOUs. A pocket full of favors could be some great content! You could maybe get Beef to keep the red farmhouse for all of his IOUs or something else he really hates.

Folx... this is why we learn the Pythagorean theorem in math! (I'm assuming the 128 blocks is spherical) Moving the campfires up by just 20 blocks would increase the surface level radius to ~64 blocks away. 64^2 + 108^2 =~ 128^2 It could even be moved higher but then make multiple side-by-side farms instead of one super-tall farm.

I was mainly trying to show that a small change can make a reasonably large impact, even if it doesn't have as big of an impact as moving it entirely.

Free cam for the cinematics is not so cheaty... Freecam because you want to know where a mob is, or want to figure out where to go to get to the next unlit cave, or to find loot/spawners is cheaty.

3 ай бұрын

Free cam for avoiding building in creative is pretty awesome

If you do 2 diamonds for 1 stack, do a bulk deal aswell perhaps. So like 1 shulker full for 40 diamonds (saves 14 diamonds)

People can still sell other things beside blocks, so if someone doesn't manage to get a good permit to sell they can still get a bit more creative. Maybe we''ll seemore creative service shops from hermits who don't usually go for those. Maybe if someone has a great idea they could request for permit specific to their service to show they're legitimate and trade for one of the block permits if they want. Maybe you can set the price somewhat high for buying rockets normally, and use the mail system to do a subscription model for the rockets that's less expensive.

I was expecting that mistake lol. I've done the same thing before myself. I actually just stopped doinf drop shafts all together on a lot of farms for this exact reason. I figured the mobs dying a little slower is probably a better tradeoff than nullifying the ones that spawn but then despawn and drop literally nothing. This also lead to an amazing discovery that people overlook. you can make you kill chamber be a single berry bush and its actually pretty fast plus it kills witches. witches can heal themselves and make themselves fireproof but a single berry bush and water keeping them moving kills them. I know that's not relevant to the creeper farm, but its pretty cool. it makes a single berry bush one of the best possible kill chambers for an early mob farm. which is nuts cause otherwise you need wither roses which are much harder to get

It all adds up and is an easy way (if one can afford to do so) to quietly support in the background without any perks beyond cosmetic. Though Bdubs, another hermit I have quietly supported does occasionally do member-only streams or provide world downloads, I consider that a bonus, not an expectation. I’m just happy to be here. I don’t think you or the other hermits quite understand how much high quality entertainment we’ve enjoyed for years through the good times and a lot of the bad times and how much it’s helped. ❤

You could put the creeper farm in the Compensator if you don’t want to many towers near the center of the village

There is absolutely going to be a black market storyline this season. Also people may not be able to sell gunpowder but they could certainly barter items they don’t have permits for. Season’s going to be interesting.

The tangent about the compasses, I 100% agree with. I want in game options to find the nearest end city/amethyst geode/type of biome/slime chunk. Stuff like using dolphins to find shipwrecks, cartographers selling maps to mansions, or the eyes of ender are good examples that already exist in game

You should cover your creeper farm in “phineas and ferb doofenshmirtz tower” would fit nicely with Perry!

Others woukd probably offer to trade for the permit instead of creating a second if the first holder can't put in the time. Or work as supplier for a cut of the profits.

The only way that Permits will disappoint me is if you guys don't end up having a black market. It's legit the perfect setup for those shenanigans.

I know it probably wont fit but building it inside the monolith tower would be cool

You dont have to use diamonds as the currency for the shop. You can always sell the rockets in exchange for a specific material you want alot of this season if you have any in mind (lets say TNT or dispensers). A funny side effect of selling for something other than diamonds could also inflate the price of that other item if its also a shop item someone else has the permit for.

Given that autocrafts are now a thing, you could hook up the drops from the creeper farm and the drops from a sugarcane farm into autocrafters and automatically produce fireworks. This could be further automated by having the hermits send shulkers with payment (say 2 diamonds per stack) and have it auto removed and replaced with rockets then sent off again. That would be really cool and sahara-esque

I think people should be able to have partnerships with others as long as one of them has a permit. That way people are still free to sell the items they want to sell but as long as the holder of the permit works with them.

Iskall, you dont need to rebuild. you just need to redirect the creepers using a water flow to make their kill area at the top

I hope he lights up his old creeper farm too. Lol

That Creeper farm kind of reminds me of the time I made a Warden farm, but was too lazy to move the portal up 1 block, so I modified it in such a way that the Wardens ended up coming back through the portal. This not only made the farm deadly and unusable, but I also had to fight 2 Wardens on the Nether Roof to repair the farm. That said it did lead to an amazing cat and mouse aerial battle where I kept trying to keep my distance while remaining in bow range, only to barely get out of sonic boom range before they fired.

Loving the TO'S SC-6000-OD TOOD 😂

i love the concept of the permits - as regards to the criticism that there's not enough items of value for how many hermits there are, i would counter that with the fact that not every hermit seems to enjoy having shops - so those guys could absolutely trade high intensity permits for low intensity or slow selling stuff, still take part in the wider project, while still letting the hermits who really enjoy the grind of a shop thrive with it.

An interesting idea for new permits might be to bid on what price you will sell them. So the person that is willing to do the work for the lowest price gets the new permit

Hearing creepers SPLAT is one of the best sounds in Minecraft.

there is an upper limit to how many spawning spots a creeper farm needs, usually 5-6 layers will max out your spawning spots, if you kill the creepers fast enough.

You could use a water elevator based creeper farm, and kill them at Y = 0 instead. So if the farm is not loaded at the bottom, it doesn't matter, since the creepers comes up and doesn't go down.

One doesn't have to put a bunch of work into items that won't sell very well. At some point somebody will want cut grass simply because they need some and there is a shop available. I think it would be a fun build if there was a big plaza area that had a bunch of very small stalls (6x6 ish) that sell things that don't do well. throw a bunch of chests on it full of grass and call it good, won't have to restock it for a while. Is that boring? Yes, but not every build requires a full bases worth of effort put into it like a lot of shops get. And if every hermit is expected to build about 6 shops this season (give or take a couple depending on collective items and such) I think it's unreasonable to expect them all to be large area defining builds

Just watched the vod on twitch, and I’d like to say a thin on your farm, you need to double the spawn radius because the radius you have indicates the maximum distance a player can be to keep the farm running if you double it you include all the areas where mobs can spawn while a player can load your farm.

Put your sugar cane farm below the creeper farm, all can be made in the same chunk
