Hermitcraft 10: Episode 1 - THE START 

"A group of professionals" - Grian, 2024

“Frolicking around in the flowers alone with a sword” is basically the new definition of Gem.

What Grian has done with the captions is absolutely lovely! The color coded AND labeled text is so easy consume. As a caption reader, we all thank you Grian!

"Squeeze a lime in my guacamole, because this is a massive cave." -Grian, 1878

"proffessionals" is a strong word to use around mumbo

Mojang: Never dig straight down Grian: You know what would be REALLY funny?

Everyone living on the cherry mountain should live inside it and call it Cherry Hollow. You can light it all up and clear out the dripstone and make a little underground city! For lighting up the ceiling, a nice aesthetic would be the glow berries, and moss would be a nice touch. You can create pretty particles by having cherry blossom leaves and the large pink flowers (I forgot the names).

47:47 best opportunity for "Well actually, I kept my diamonds over here!-" from the one bit with Mumbo

Grian cutting out every single dirty joke about cracks, holes and the “crack alley” is hilarious bro

Underrated favorite moment: Gem: Pivot!!!! Grian: I DON’T WANNA PIVOT! Gem: P I V O T ! ! !

Mumbo saying “should the sun be moving?” Followed by “a group of professionals” on the screen certainly was a way to start this season Cheers everyone

scar deserves a no-bell prize

Joel: “Isn’t the number one rule in Minecraft not to dig straight down?” Grian: “Let’s do it!” Welcome to Hermitcraft, Joel. Oh, and Scar didn’t even question it or hesitate. That’s also important Hermitcraft culture: Scar does the bad ideas with no hesitation whatsoever.

The prize for winning Demise is a kiss on the neck from Joel.

43:40 Scar: I don't have a fishing pole... Universe: You sure about that? 😉

A hollow mountain has so much opportunity. Like a massive mining operation, a mountain with a dark side.

“The trick here is that if you attach it to something, you never have to finish the back.” Sounds like Grian doesn’t want any more interventions 😂🤣😂🤣

45:03 “So where does- AHHHHHHHHH” absolutely comical.

Joel:"Isn't the number one rule in minecraft not to-" Grian:LET'S DIG!

I really like this new "no creative" building style. seeing you troubleshoot your builds in real time and hearing your thought process is really nice for learning how to be a better builder~

"Squeeze a lime in my guacamole because this is a big cave" Grian, can you PLEASE make a tutorial video on how you come up with these phrases?

The whole "pivot" part with Grian ending up in the sheep pen is such sibling energy LOL

“Did that make you crash?” I love that Etho’s joke and intonation is getting spread more and more. Was one of the funniest things I ever seen.

26:09 - Funny irony/quote. As Grian talks about how everyone’s dying, hes just casually mining a hole + not charging a thing. Which i find funny

10:39 “frolicking in flowers alone with a sword” is the most Geminitay/GeminiSlay thing ever

“Squeeze a lime in my guacamole” is the most British line I’ve ever herd

Grian, it’s frankly awesome to see you lean into what you learned in the past seasons. Truly embracing the never-building-the-back-of-things attitude because there’s nothing actually wrong with having a certain style of building. I’m also so curious to see more of the color palettes you mentioned because I’m curious whether you’re going to add more color to your builds this season? I can’t wait to see what comes of it! Prismarine… a conduit? Underwater base? 👀 It’s also so fun to see the demise game make its return and see the life series elements added to Hermitcraft, with the red name and all! I’m so curious about the prize as well, but I suppose we’ll have to wait and see. In general, looking forward to seeing what comes of this season. And a big welcome to Joel and Skizz as well!! They deserve to be here so much.

Other hermits: "so we're going to go mining for an hour and a half and split the loot" Grians group: "How about we go and start building and just take the resources" 😂

I like how he went from “oh I’m dead I won’t get the prize so sad :(“ to “LETS KILL” so quickly. The life series is doing wonders for him

Joel: I'm a new hermit! Grian 2 episodes later: (prank) WAR

Oh gosh, he did set them up with the 'vertical mining' bit. I gave this waffle the benefit of the doubt when I watched other perspectives, but I guess I shouldn't have.

Grian: says he's gonna take it slowly and not rush anything Also grian: complains when the others have bases and he doesn't

14:01 "Also he stupid" is one of the best cutaways I've ever seen

Everyone has a their little starter base in the thumbnail and Grain just has f i e l d

Just wanna appreciate the person who did all the subtitles along with the color-coded text for a sec, it was very cool of them

23:22 the pun quest from secret life 3 months ago habit accidentally kicked in XDD

Genuinely so proud of Grian for letting go of the creative world testing perfectionism. It's can be just so hard to put yourself in a position where you could fail, but it also is so much more rewarding when you don't.

9:38 "squeeze a lime in my guacamole cause this is a massive cave" most inspirational grian quotes of 2024

That massive cave definitely needs a big communal build with huge hanging lanterns

Grian: *foolishly gets Impulse killed in a cave he discovered under a cherry blossom mountain* Impulse: *Sparta-kicks Skizz off for the first reaper kill--after Ren was blown apart by a creeper during a joint-caving session* Grian not long after: *gets Sparta-kicked off a dirt pillar during a caving session with reaper Tango* Grian by episode's end: *fishes Gem to a horrific demise--the same as he'd done Joel and Etho in Double Life*

Grian: *Starts Hermitcraft 10 Also Grian: *Immediately hosts an entire life season in the first episode

Grian's little "I just did a murder" cackle is so much fun

Knowing what will happen, Grian saying "he's just attached to destiny like that" is hilarious.

24:54 I love the deliberate approach! I’ve always wanted to dig out my caving area like that too. I always wish to try making things into actual THINGS as I go. So like rather than plunking down an enchantment set up in the nearest convenient space, I wait until I’ve dug out or built a room to fit it and decorate the sides, before I even have a base to live in usually. I also enjoy watching that progress, it’s more memorable and feels more involved on the viewing part and from our view of how you are playing. It’s why I like livestreams, you see the whole process and it feels more deliberate everything that’s done and more memorable than a cut down version of someone seeming to skip entire processes and experiences

13:57 THE PERFECT CUT AT “… also he’s stupid” KILLED ME

45:03 the way scar screams in lowercase like every time he screams never stops amusing me

I remember when grian joined the server... The death of Evo... So long ago... I was still in elementary school... Im in high school now... I... How time flies...

The thought of GIGGS (with an extra G) would be brought to Minecraft is so exciting, I love that all 5 of them can play together now ❤

Etho would be proud of that fishing rod kill, especially since he taught Grian their value as a weapon. (The double life fishing rod shenanigans and warden kill are still comedy gold)

"It's a lot bigger than I thought" I can imagine the strain scar was in every time grian said that

"squeeze a lime in my guacamole" has to be the most British string of words that I have ever heard in my life

51:12 “Yeah, I still got it”, earlier: *Dies from a failed water-drop*

45:01 Scars scream slowly fading away is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life, it sounds like a cartoon.

I love how Grian *immediately* started yet another game of Demise... This man just cannot help himself from starting events involving death

9:37 My new favorite Quote "Oh squeeze a lime in my guacamole" Grian, 2024

Grian please bring back grians goodies / the barge and hermit dares from season seven aka best season of hermitcraft! Hermit dares were so funny, you stealing doors the whole season was my favourite part

Oh well, Scar definitely failed to earn the No-bell prize.

Scar's deadpan delivery of "We have a chest over here full of good stuff if you want any, just kidding" made it ten times funnier.

the scream scar made while falling down grian's vertical mine made me think of "pull the lever kronk" ]clank] "wrong leveeeeeeeer"

"Barrels are underused" Meanwhile, barrels beeing the most used blocks in datapacks "Barrels are so expensive" Barrels actually cost 1 log less than chests

I love when Scar did the fish noteblock and everyone went "OH SCAAAAAAAR!"

Grian just loves making death games. Cough cough: -Demise -3rd life -Last life -Double life -Limited life -Secret Life -Demise 2.0

"But as you can see, I have been growing some weed over there" -grain

Grian is a perfect mix of wholesome and chaotic

off camera content on other videos: "I went mining for 7 days straight and got 3 stacks of diamonds" Grain off camera content: "I explored 10k blocks in that direction and didn't find what I was looking for"

Grian: *is red name* Grian's Last Life Instincts: *FISH*

who needs netflix when you have hermitcraft

I really like your idea of decorating things as you go. From a viewer's standpoint, it is a lot more interesting and we can feel your enjoyment in your work. Keep up the good work Grian!

43:41 The way the fishing rod hops out TOWARDS Scar is too perfect. That’s a big “f you” from the universe, Grian. Lol!

32:12 You literally built a bridge for the zombie to come and attack you, that's pretty generous to help him out like that lol.

I love this new episode style of video. The longer format, slowed down pace and the building tips sprinkled around. good job grian Keep it up.

Grian falling every couple of minutes made my day 😂

Grian - "I'm giving you THREE STRIKES!" Tango - "So you're saying I get to kill you guys twice?"

The "not Scar safe" moment at 45:00 is peak physical comedy - I couldn't stop laughing 😂

(9:37) "Squeeze the lime in my Gaucomole" for real caught me off gaurd, i had to go back 3 times to watch that and laugh

grian is the english literature of minecraft building

27:48 The " OOOOOH SCAAARR " and everyone saying it simultaneously is soooo funny I've been laughing at it for the past few minutes

48:00 reminds me of when grian and mumbo were like "just kidding i hid the diamonds right HERE!" 😂😂

18:15 the chest monster begins 🤣

28:05 it kinda sounds like a car, u could prolly make a car build and do sum red stone for the sound of the engine

Love that grian went from S6: "gotta keep up with everyone" To S10: "gonna do things at my own pace" If thats not character development idk wat is :D

Scar saying "It's my hole, it's a hole in the wall." and then Gem's "nobody say anything." had me laughing so hard.🤣

So Grian invented ComputerCraft turtle mining? There's a reason we only mine that way with expendable automatons... Also the Scar-fall was perfect

47:45 “Since day one this has been so luck” Me: Why do I feel like something *bad* is going to happen? Sever: Oh don’t worry my child it will… Me: What’s that supposed to… Sever: *stares in my soul* Me: Mother I’m scared come pick me up, * muffled phone conversation * yeah yea I’m at my apartment. Sever: Ever heard of a little something called a *MENDING BOOK?* Me: (still on phone) Hurry I Erie you to go at illegal speeds Sever: Or a fishing addiction Me: Oh gosh there’s more.. Sever: When the two combine with a coincidentally awfully unlucky fishing loot table it can create quite a problem. Me: Please I beg of you fly it to my window, just come before they finish traumatising me. Sever: Then all he’ll be able to do is sit and *watch* everyone else get one. Me: *Don’t bother* I it’s already *too late*. (Not the last line being two Good Omens references because Grian dressed up as Crowley at a Halloween party last year).

“Squeeze a lime in my guacamole” -Grian 2024

I am so jealous of the way scar's brain works. He always thinks of the most creative, artistic visions and implements them so seamlessly. The idea to interconnect your bases through mountains was phenomenal.

I just saw snarple builds, it kinda remind of Ghibli vibes! ❤😊 Bcs the essence of how coherent the colours were 😮

“But you haven’t played hermitcraft before, Joel.” When, in fact, he has played hermitcraft before

Grian: unless he sets a trap we’re fine. Short pause Grian: Also he’s stupid Dang Grian didn’t have to do him THAT dirty

kinda of glad I'm able to watch HermitCraft eps again after such a long time. missed both 8 and 9 seasons cuz of... well... life. but things have calmed down now- somewhat. and I'm able to watch these eps again! I'm glad to be watching Grian and the Gangs shenanigans!

Grian doing vertical mining reminds me of when I used to dig HUGE quarries on the PlayStation 3 Edition- I did it all MANUALLY while there were java players with mods to do it all automatically!

The back of base workarounds keep getting better 🎷😭

Fishing Gem out was just perfect. Really hope she was recording too, that should be hilarious from her POV

"I'm living my best life" this is indeed true, frolicking among the flowers with a sword is the best life goals

Love that you did a big long episode for the start, along with the color coded subtitles to make viewers able to differentiate between the hermits.

I need to say I really appreciate the hermits that have Subtitles on their videos, as someone who's severely hearing impaired It really warms my heart to see independant content creators committing to doing that when even some multi-million dollar streaming services dont bother to do more than closed captioning. I just like Grian's in particular because of the color coding for each different hermit, I think Zedaph does that too and it's just really nice to see people go the extra mile to make the subtitles pretty.

"should the sun be moving" love how mumbo is still paranoid about things in the sky since what happened last time... edit: ya'll keep correcting the "last time", yes you are right I am referring to season 8, I haven't really been paying specifically close attention to hermitcraft and I just wanted to mention something I found funny

they waited so long and didnt even get their No-Bell prize :(

I've been doing "vertical mining" for years (I started when I played on Keralis' Towny server). The trick is to toss a bucket of water in the hole and dig down the water column. If it opens into a deep cave or lava or something you're fine as long as you don't outpace the water. It works best if you have aqua affinity and resp enchants but if not just dig a couple of blocks to the side to get to air as you go. In years of doing this the only time I ran into trouble was when I hit a pocket of gravel at the top of a cave one time.

27:50 I love how they all go “oh, Scaaarrrr!!” but also no one stops 😂
