Hermitcraft 9: I had a lot of fun this week! Ep. 31

Bdubs spilling his coffee when Gem scared him was hilarious😂

all i want for chrismas is a complimation of all the wooden sword duals with the hermits

“Gem Behind You!” She’ll never learn 😔

Gem asking for people’s heads is the most passive aggressive thing I’ve ever heard-

Whenever you see a new hermitcraft video from Gem you have to stop whatever crazy shenanigans you’re doing to watch even crazier shenanigans.

A building episode with Geminislay shenanigans and a "Behind you Gem!" call back? This is a great day.

The dicotimy of Gem is amazing. She is completely adorable, and she is utterly bloodthirsty. Incredible.
Oh, and Impulse saying "Watch out behind you Gem!" will never, ever, get old.😂😂😂

Maybe you could commission Cleo again, like you did for the waterfall? It would be so cool to see workers carrying supplies and pulling carts back and forth from the crane area

Using the custom discs for immersive ambience like that is a brilliant idea

Gem's videos always seem so short even though they're not. They're just so entertaining. She could get a hundred things done in one video but it would still feel like the video wasn't long enough.

12:53 LOL Gem scared the daylight out of Bdubs and made him spill out his coffee! 🤣
Best part of the video for me 😂

You know it's a good day when Impulse posts a double Doc long episode and Gem posts an episode at the same time

Gem is a menace and we love to see it ^-^

i love watching the pvp bits so much, everyone is so giggly and its always fun to see gem baffle everyone with her fighting style 😆

I don't know how to explain it, but Gem and Bdubs give off equal but opposite vibes. I think if they were to spend extended amounts of time together (in camera) they may cause entropy. I love how the crane turned out! The blue gears are so fun, it feels very polished. I have also noticed that there are a lot of even numbered builds in the elven area, which is neat to see! I don't often build them myself but it's a good reminder that they can look really nice, so maybe I should try to. Geminislay is the perfect person to collect heads for Decked Out - the collection will be complete in no time!

I never thought I'd see the day Gemini Slay would be bested without trickery. Hypno is truly a formidable foe.
Edit: Also I love the immersive sounds y'all added to your base.

The bird noises are a subtle detail but SO nice. I love it. Peak relaxation at the end of such a chaotic fun video!

Oh, I love this video so much! GeminiSlay, building, interactions with other Hermits, BEHIND YOU GEM!, ambient disc noises? Perfect. You really did have a lot of fun in a week.
Saw this idea from Realistic_Secret: asking Cleo to help add workers at the docks. It would look really cool. Can't wait to see what other projects Gem has in store. The base is really coming together. 👍❤

I'm so happy you joined Hermitcraft! The ambient background sound to your base is genius!

i LOVE the emersive sounds it establishes the atmosphere SO MUCH.
(also i am here for geminiSlay)

Gem, I keep forgetting to say that the raid farm might be able to turn into something called a "sea stack" to disguise it if you don't want to be looking at it all the time. You could have a big bird colony there with armor stand birds flying around (or dragons?) 😊

Oh my gosh, I love that crane! And them fights! And Impulse's contribution was just... Perfect.

The disks are a really cool way for you to add a custom soundscape to your base. I always play Minecraft with the AmbientSounds mod, which adds all kinds of animal and wind sounds based on the biome. It helps so much with immersion, much more than I would've anticipated, and it actually makes exploring fun for me.

Nothing better than watching GeminiTay while waiting for your friends to show up!!! 😅

Here is an idea. Maybe you can do a merchant ship of sorts that collects Prismarine from your industrial district. If you have a dock, you can do a ship that goes between your base and your guardian farm for internal lore. If the elves love prismarine so much, they have to have a way to export it.

Yaaaaassssss, THE GEM BEHIND YOU IS BACK. That always makes me laugh!!!🎉

The difference between Beef both allowing Gem to get his head and then also having a spare, yet still letting her kill him vs. Bdubs fighting her in chat and then also killing her when they weren’t fighting is hilarious, Beef’s just a gentleman and Bdubs is a gremlin

The ambient sounds are such an amazing addition!! I never realised Minecraft is missing something like this, but now it just seems so obvious! It brings so much life ❤

I love all of the GeminiSlay moments in between her beautiful builds. Gem is great! 🇨🇦

if Gem adds some white parrots to the docks then she'd have her seagulls :)

I'm having a kinda rough day already, so I'm really glad that this video made me laugh. This has the perfect blend of cozy builder Gem and funny GeminiSlay chaos.
Really love seeing how the other hermits and other SMPs Gem is on have challenged and inspired her to try new things. I think I've definitely noticed this on Afterlife/New Life where she is able to experiment with a lot of smaller builds without having to commit to a single theme for a mega base. It's really cool to see an elven take on a more industrial build style.

Gem clearly had so much fun with this vid and we had fun along with her!! Loved every minute.

I really enjoy your style of building. Your way of making simple little things so detailed and beautiful are remarkable. Your big builds always have a very natural look to them that always fit the landscapes. You have really climbed my hermit tier list Gem! Your commentary and cheerful voice really are a blessing. Keep doing what you do. I love it!

The bits with Gem and Impulse are always the most fun little get togethers imo :3

You should add a couple parrots in the trees so when people walk through, it makes sense where the sounds are coming from .
It looks and sounds absolutely amazing 👍

"GEM BEHIND YOU!" Impulse favorite sentence when Gem isn't watching her bag.
Love your video's.

Now for the 10 hour loop of gems base noises xD

Amazing episode Gem this was really enjoyable to watch and seeing you fighting the Hermits for their heads was really funny. Geminislay is on it again. Also I really love what you did to connect your base with impulse it was such a great build thank you so much for this episode ❤

That custom ambience is GENIUS. Makes me wish all servers had custom data pack plugins like that (though for obvious reasons, I can understand why most don't, especially public ones).

Now I want a study/relax video of just 10 hours of pretty base atmosphere walk around with the sounds

Its amazing how at the end of the video the birds and silence make it feel so wholesome and peaceful! I am amazed how you can play two smps and a hardcore world and make all of this!

The fights with the hermits are such a lovely, roundabout way to chat and spend time with every hermit! I enjoy them so much! ^-^ plus everyone being baffled by her skill

Good to watch while unable to sleep at night. Your cozy chill building vibes are working ✨ and i’m a HUGE fan of the pvp hermit interactions!!

I’m usually a silent viewer, but I just wanted to say thank you for the content that you post Gem. You don’t know how much joy and comfort your videos bring me! ❤️ I love laying in bed watching them, they’re so cosy and peaceful. ☔️ Also I’m in LOVE with the bird noises you added into the game, Minecraft needs to add them in! 🤍

I’ve been binge watching this entire series! So excited that I finally caught up. 🥳
Gem, it’s so awesome to see your build come to life, especially with the added bird chirps. What if you and Impulse used something like that to make a noise like gears shifting?

Can we just appreciate the effort she puts in? ❤❤

Cause he builds mostly modern (and that isn't a style I'm particularly into) I always forget just how incredible Keralis is at building only to get totally blindsided by how talented he is whenever a hermit I watch stops by his base. I don't even watch him and yet his season nine base is probably one of my favourites!
I just love how bustling and lived in it feels! It seems almost messy? But not in a bad way so much as a realistic way? Like the buildings have just been piled up over centuries of people living there. It feels natural in a way you don't typically see in urban style builds. It's one of those builds where it's just so alive you can really feel immersed in it

It's been so lovely to watch Gem to from "Help new server on the biggest thingy ever what do I do" to becoming in her element and not "trying" to be anyone else but just being herself bringing her own element to Hermitcraft

The sound effects are amazing :D the way this kept alternating between peaceful base work and killing the hermits (which is always so so enjoyable, especially when there's an audience) was hilarious

I gotta say your videos are getting better and better, not only in terms of content, but also especially in terms of editing. Love the music in the background! Nostalgia!

Gem is so skilled at building and it is just so nice to relax and watch the process, thank you for the amazing videos

WOW! I watched you at the start of the season and it's AMAZING what you did with your base! I also love how you officially connected your base to Impulse's

Would white dye in an invisible frame make for good bird droppings?

Mabye try and find some parrots and putting them sitting in the trees, just to connect the birdsounds to something😁
I love what you're doing with your base!

Oooooooougggggghhh that ending clip though of your base with the soft sounds GETS me though. I didn't think the Sakura tree could be topped and yet the touch of immersion really gets you 🥺
This has been such a fun episode!!! From PVP battles (Hypno is CRACKED I did not know this!!! So cool!!!!) to awesome builds, this has been such a fun episode! =D

LOVE the new sound ambiance, LOVE the head collecting, LOVE the building. A wonderful gift of an episode, gem, thank you 💛

Seeing xB not checked off the list and just chilling in the background as you dueled Iskall has me sooo excited to see how you go headhunt him - maybe a bow duel instead of swords? But more importantly, BEAUTIFUL episode and amazing work on the base, all the effort to mesh yours and Impulse's styles goes an amazingly long way - and honestly, I had the same reaction as him, realizing how quick you'd gotten it done. It's super stunning, you never cease to impress!

Thank you for the 1000 days on hermitcraft video Gem! I struggle with finding videos to listen to while playing Minecraft, the video you uploaded was perfect! Especially since you’re my fave KRclipr! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I completely understand the immersive sounds thing. The first time I used a modpack with it in I was blown away. It's a real game changer and something vanilla Minecraft needs.

I love your ending with the ambience sounds. Its exactly what Minecraft is missing for so long now, its immersion with sounds. The Nether is perfectly done, along with the oceans but the Caves and so many biomes would have so much more immersion with this!

The cinematic views to close out the video were some of the most beautiful Minecraft scenes I've ever witnessed. Spectacular work!

Always a great day when Gem posts a video. It took me 2 days to watch the full movie, gem dropped this week. Funny story, during springs HC slow period, I actually binged all of Gems HC videos to see the transformation of her Elven keep .... But I gotta say Gem, you really made the transitions in you movie so good, your voice always has the same energy, I am impressed. Gem is Great. ❤

I love that you have incorporated sounds to your base. It’s a wonderful element!

Gem's base is absolutely magical. I love how immersive it is, and I wish so much that it existed in real life. ❤

When Gem has fun, we all have fun.

The crane looks amazing like all the stuff you build.
Though if critique is accepted, I think it should be longer (it can hardly reach the end of the platform now nor even the harbor to be)

I love the connection between the Elven and the Dwarven bases! The Dwarves send up ores and gems from the mines and the Elves trade them food and organic materials! I think it's generally worldbuilt that Dwarves don't usually grow or hunt themselves and instead trade from other kingdoms so that could be a fun thing to add in.

I have to say Gem, that was probably one of the best episodes of Minecraft I have ever watched, after watching your movie and reliving everything again (i found you through (Etho-Tango-Impulse-Gem) from the last year or so, to then this. Thank you for the amazing work you do.

I really enjoy the duels somehow. Generally not the PvP person. But having this random shenanigans while procrastinating on building is relateable and refreshing. Just something i really appreciate about your videos. It occasionally gets hard to watch timelaps after timelaps, and have things just be there. much love

Gem, the immersive sounds at the end are a fantastic addition to your base! Love the ocean and seagulls!

The ambient nature sounds are such an amazing addition!! Hands down my favorite use I’ve seen of the custom sound files!

Once the season is over, we need a silent tour of your base with the ambient sounds. The best part is you can add them all over. Chains rattling and Hermits' moans and screams from the dongeon, creaking and candle flickers from the library, etc!

The end of this really illustrates why I love sound design so much and why I think it’s under appreciated. Even the smallest sounds can change the whole world around you.

probably my favorite episode this season, a great mix of gorgeous builds and shenanigans with hermits, thank you for always making such enjoyable content!

If vintage beef does another hermit card game, GeminiSlay definitely needs to be one of the cards. Watching your 5 hour video you posted recently basically about your journey on hermitcraft Season 9, from the Mansion to this episode of seeing 57 etho heads ( 10:56 ). Its absolutely amazing to see how much your pvp skills have improved.
I've been really looking forward to the connection between you and impulses base for a few months now, on impulses stream hearing the connection basically finished i was very excited for that. The build is looking amazing as always, i wish I could be even 1% as good as a builder as you.
With the transportation of materials from impulse, i pressume its going to go to the dock, then onto a ship for further trade. Possibly if you or/and impulse could build a few ships on the sea near your dock, filled with with materials collected and maybe some sea bandits (pirates) are trying to get that loot and each ship is kind of at war at each other. Something that came in my kind whilst watching anyway.
Very happy for a new gem Hermitcraft episode.

The background sounds of birds was such a nice detail! Love the change when you approach the docks as well

Gem posting just makes my day! Also that bird sounds in the forest is so relaxing it would probably send me to wleep in minutes. Love you Gem! ❤

I love the fact that Gem is the only one who can always get the better of Keralis's tricks.

yay, Gemini Slay! Thanks for your lovely fun builds interspersed with wooden sword battles. 😊

Hi Gem! I think it would really add even more ambiance if you had the sounds of pickaxes near the new connection area you just built. It would sound like the dwarves are working right below you!

This is looking great. I think this season will be quite nice to walk around when the download comes, it's possibly the most complete season yet. The bases are nearly done and the museum has collected all the memories, it's great!

Hypno got that lag 😂😂😂
Love the behind you gem throwback.
Hermits being hermits together is the best thing ever

Love how the builds are coming along and the soundscape is gorgeous!

So I just told Impulse the same thing, these are my favorite kind of episodes. Multiplayer interaction with the other hermits is why I like watching HC. Congrats on a fun episode

I swear, GeminiSlay is the second best thing Tango invented in season 9 and I love Gem for having embraced it

I'm so glad you got to really flesh out the details of your base this season compared to last.

That custom ambient audio is great! There are quite a few Mod Packs that have bird chatter ambience that changes based on biome... Vanilla REALLY needs more creature chatter ambient sounds, also imo vanilla also needs flying birds. Like imagine walking towards a forest line and seeing a bunch of birds scatter and fly off, or some seagulls flying out over the oceans that you can see from the shore. Vanilla really needs more life, it's my biggest gripe about not having the "failed mob vote" mobs in game... there a so many places that are sparce or devoid of life and that sucks for the immersion.

With this immersion you need details like bird nest in the trees or holes where critters live, foxes or bunny burrows. Waves at the ocean dock!
It’s just relaxing watching you play Minecraft thanks for the awesome videos!

the sound effects are everything they make my little nature soul so at peace

With decked out finishing, the perimeter being recovered, and all the call backs to the start of the season I'm sensing season 10 on the horizon. I cant wait.

Hi gem, I recently discovered you channel and you have been my go to KRclipr ever since. You’ve helped me through many tough time, so Thank You Gem! You deserve 100000000 subs❤️

i have such a heart for impulse, you 2 get along so much honestly its amazing.

I have decided that Gem is two souls coexisting in the same body. Peaceful, kind, wholesome Geminitay, and insane, psychotic, evil Geminislay. Tay tries her best to keep Slay at bay, but sometimes Slay breaks free from her subconscious prison. Eventually Slay will take over for good, and its up to the hermits to kill the PvP god, to free Tay. Meanwhile Tay is fighting from the inside, just like her counterpart did, once upon a time.
Just a bit of lore to keep us going.

For the crane part, i feel the ores being strapped to the grown is missing something. Like a simple pallet to strap them to or something like that.

The ambience sound is a nice addition to your base, it makes more alive. Also, just a suggestion maybe when the night the ambience sound change too such as owl sounds and other night animals.

the transition between gem's base to impulse's looks so good!

Gem, your run to get the pearl in decked out was soo good. I’m glad you made it!

All the day bird sounds are amazing but there should be nocturnal animal sounds too! Gem should totally meet doc for a day/night setting.

I love how you combined the elven look and the dwarf look. It really worked out amazing😀😀

I just realized, the whole reason Gem started head hunting is for a king's quest... A king that was deposed and executed.
