Hermitcraft 10: Episode 22 - DOORS & BUILDS 

I misspelt the business card as a REFERENCE and definitely not as a mistake!

Your honor, since Neil Hamstrong's death was clearly accidental, and that Mumbo was busy troubleshooting a piston door, this is classified as a workplace accident. Since workplace accidents typically have the employer responsible, the Po-Po are the ones to blame for his death, especially since no pre-cautions were taken even though they knew the job would involve arrows. Plus, if you look in the footage frame-by-frame, Mumbo fired the arrow with the crosshair clearly directed the target BEFORE he moved his mouse to the left, which means that this was a hitbox issue rather than being an intentional kill. yeah, im the attorney now

Seeing as though the last pig murder on the server resulted in a lawsuit, you'd best suit up, Mumbo.

Mumbo, in your town you should put a wishing well that Rich Richardson has connected up to the bank, so whenever you throw a coin in it gets funnelled straight into the vault.

You should hire Skizz on a retainer. Dont tell him why you are hiring him. Just give him some diamonds and tell him you anticipate being sued. It might not work, but it would be funny when he realizes he might have to defend you against himself.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="161">2:41</a>, Skizz places a bed down on the pathway while talking to Mumbo about the garage door. Scar in the background, in the softest, most despondent voice, goes “The pathway…”. This goes completely ignored, which is frankly a bit of a crime. Poor guy worked so hard on those aesthetics.

It's so cool seeing a builder tackle redstone. You can tell Mumbo is out of his element, but he is trying.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1456">24:16</a> bro did the equivalent of being hired to perform maintenance on a police station, and then proceeding to back into one of the police cars while trying to park in front of the building LMAO

The SAFE sign looks like a neon sign, instead of being off it should have some Redstone to make it flicker every now and again.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> The way Scar says "The Pathway" is incredibly funny to me. He says it with such a narrator voice it sounds like it was edited in! You can really feel his shock and disappointment in Skizz' bed placement.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1455">24:15</a> According to 2024's Zombiecleo vs Big Baby Doc: The slaying of an innocent pig constitues to two weeks of forced skyblock inprisionment. Don't worry Mumbo, at least you will get lots of visitors. Perhaps you even get to continue doc's starter island.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="364">6:04</a> Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1459">24:19</a> My thought two seconds beforehand, “Someone is most definitely going to shoot that pig by accident.”

remember mumbo, your defense is that it wasn't a pig, it was a motorcycle at the time and therefore does not constitute the killing of an innocent pig. if that doesn't work fall back on ACAB and claim the pig cannot be considered innocent.

Mumbo, if the police prosecute you for killing their hog, do not hire Joe as your lawyer! The penalty for pig murder on this server is steep (although it was just hamslaughter.)

According to Reddit.. The phrase (rather than word) for “Being too lazy to do a simple task that would make your current large task significantly more efficient” Is “Executive Dysfunction” And i find that hilarious

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1455">24:15</a> i've said this before and i'll say it again, someone needs to make a compilation of Mumbo maniacally laughing

That laziness you were referring to is a form of procrastination. The effort required to make a boring task easier FEELS like it requires more than just doing the task the more difficult way. I’ve read somewhat about these after getting diagnosed with ADHD.

You should add a hospital because every town needs a hospital. You can even add one of those small three wheeled ambulances places have if the walkways are narrow

The creeper ominously going around in the timelapse is very scary

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="380">6:20</a> Look at that business card, the subtle off white coloring. The bold yet impactive font. My god, It’s perfect.

The type of laziness you’re describing can be referred to as “procrastinative laziness.” This term captures the essence of avoiding an initial effort or setup that would save time and effort in the long run.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="164">2:44</a> Scar's "The Path...way" tickled me so much because my immediate thought when Skizz put down the bed was "Oh no, the path blocks" 😂

I love Mumbos laugh at the end of the video. You can actually hear him realizing mid-laugh what consequences this might have.

Mumbo: Ren, are you happy? Ren: *existential crisis*

Mumbo, I think the word you are looking for is "Inefficiency." noun the state of not achieving maximum productivity; failure to make the best use of time or resources. 'When someone opts for a harder, more time-consuming method because they are too lazy to set up an easier, more efficient solution.' But in your case I think we can also call it "Shear inefficiency"

love that you can see joels city and mumbos town in the same shot now. makes them seem like part of the same world, with magic mountain row being outer suburbs to the big city of joel and impulses bases.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1459">24:19</a> mumbo was laughing so hard you could tell he was STRUGGLING

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="382">6:22</a> “Now let's see Rich Richardson's card. Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.”

the laugh at the end 😭🤣🤣

"We now have trial chambers [...] I'm scared of them" No, what you should be scared of is Grian getting his hands on breeze charges or a Wind Burst mace, since he can now press multiple buttons at once

the creeper zooming around during the building timelaps was giving me a heart attack. i was just waiting for real time mumbo to cut in and say the creeper exploded

Can't wait for Scar and Skizz to open the door, marvel in its beauty, have the door auto-close on them, then repress it, jump onto the pigs, have the door close again, then reopen the door for a 3rd time and try to get through it on the pigs only to be too slow and end up suffocating inside the door to then get off the pigs and end up on the opposite side to the pigs.

The panic in that laugh... oh no! At least it was an accidental death/workplace accident and not malicious intent, maybe your sentencing will be lighter?

last time a redstoner killed a pig he went on a 2 week skyblock exile

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1196">19:56</a> Mumbo discovering "the door problem" of game design while designing a door in a game lol. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links in the comments so here's a summary of the door problem for anyone who is interested: The door problem is used as an example of how complicated game design usually ends up being, even to the point of "just adding a door" becomes a massive process with a large number of thins to consider and decide on. Things like: Can the player open the door? Can the player close the door? If doors can be opened/closed by players, how does this happen? Do they press a button? Proximity based? Are there more doors in the game? Can all doors be opened/closed by the player? If not, do we use some sort of design hint to tell the player if a door can be opened or not? Can doors be locked? Can they be unlocked? Can the player decide if a door is locked/unlocked? If so, how do they do that? Etc, etc, etc. All of this then get much more annoying if the game is multiplayer. After all the design of the functionality of the door you then need to program it, get art, get sound, get animations. Maybe it can't be programmed like you designed it in your current framework for the game. Do you spend time changing the framework or do you redesign the doors? And then you have to repeat this process for every single thing in your game. Which is why game design can take so long, especially when the studio becomes larger and larger, and you need more and more people involved on each step of the process.

OMG the American Psycho reference with the misspelling on the business card!!!!!!!! GENIUS

mumbo-jumbo just perfected building and redstone and become a true paragon of Minecraft

Chuffly, the act of refusing to make things easier for one's self. Another word is chobblesome.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1460">24:20</a> is just the most natural disappointed laugh I’ve ever heard come out of a Mumbo, and I’m loving it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1457">24:17</a> is mumbo about to be the second redstoner on the server to get sued for the killing of a pig?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="987">16:27</a> Am I the only one that noticed Mumbo mining with Impulse's iFortunate pickaxe?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1458">24:18</a> Skyblock here we go!

"Obdurate drudgery" captures the work ethic of persistently sticking to laborious methods despite the availability of more efficient alternatives. This phrase reflects the stubborn commitment to hard work out of habit, rather than seeking improvement or efficiency.

Mumbo ALMOST going for an American Psycho vibe with the Rich Richardson card. Nice

When scar said he knows just the man, I knew It was going to be you

I love that they introduced all this new complicated stuff like mailboxes and permits and warnings and Mumbo is just off in his own little world designing business cards having no clue

As someone who naturally swayed towards Grian’s videos in the past, trying some of yours has been brilliant. The style of your base this season is ,aesthetically speaking, refreshing and I’m looking forward to how it turns out.

British man glitching commences at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1465">24:25</a>

Only Mumbo can wreck a police vehicle while being hired to rig the garage door opener.

I finally understand the Mumbo thumb shift. Mac's shift is so horribly placed that your pinky finger can't get to it easily and the thumb is one of the best options you have if you want to use it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="370">6:10</a> all i could think of seeing the business card BATEMAN (Choking with anxiety) Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Owen's card. Price pulls a card from an inside coat pocket and holds it up for their inspection: "PAUL OWEN, PIERCE & PIERCE, MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS." Bateman swallows, speechless. The sound in the room dies down and all we hear is a faint heartbeat as Bateman stares at the magnificent card. BATEMAN (V.O.) Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...

Mumbo is doing side quests at this point

That uncontrollable laughter at the end is exactly how I felt as well 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="380">6:20</a> mumbo was talking about that card like his next line was going to be, "lets see Paul Allen's card"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="362">6:02</a> Look at that subtle off white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark.

Magic Mountain Row, eh? You could have a shop at your river called Magic Mountain Roe that is a fish farm!

the cut from CIVIC DUTY had me laughing so hard. also mumbo and skizz are an absolutely underrated duo- mumbo is so clearly trying to keep from cracking up at skizz coming out swinging i was dying

'self destructive lazyness' sir mumbo you have been DIAGNOSED

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1150">19:10</a> "Them not being Grian doesn't help. One of them is Scar and there was an issue with the one named Scar double-clicking a massive tunnel bore with one not named Scar. It only takes Scar pressing a second time by accident to prove something isn't Grian-proof, Scar-proof, or Scar-safe.

I’m with Mumbo on the red stone logic point. I think manually building things like item sorters and logic gates teaches you a lot about how they work in real life. That’s how I learned them anyway

When I saw you shooting at the target block with the pig next to it, I was thinking “he better be careful he might hit the pig” and then you immediately did, lol. Even though I predicted it, I still instantly gasped in shock and horror

I feel like Mumbo is giving all his shop owners highly chaotic personalities to help cope with his own past shop history on the hermitcraft server

Mumbo: there should be a name for this kind of laziness Everyone in the world: ADHD

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="659">10:59</a> The best angle for … shows the mustached kitten view. 😂. Thank you Mumbo, great episode as always!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1474">24:34</a> I KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN LMAOOOO

The business card being an American psycho reference is hilarious.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1384">23:04</a> Please leave it as is. "Mumbo, we can't open the door!" "Skill issue tbh"

the business card for rich richardson looks so perfect as an American Psycho reference but "valubles" being spelled wrong? absolute perfection

Harsky: When you’re too lazy to do something which would inevitably make work much easier <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="494">8:14</a> (Har-skee) “I’m too Harsky to make myself some food even though I’m really hungry”

'I'm not the most musical chap' PLAYS SOME LOVELY GUITAR????

you could use the stairs of the door itself and then put on stair on top of the flying machine for a perfect transition that also helps hide the flying machines

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1450">24:10</a> THE WAY IM STILL laughing

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="371">6:11</a> he should totally have done an American Psycho-like business card description! ”A subtle off-white background on solid, high quality paper, with raised ebony black romalian serif lettering”

I think your base needs one of those neon signs where a burnt-out letter conveniently turns the remainder of the word into something silly. It would add character to the Row!

Here's a tip: Arrows aren't the only thing that can activate target blocks; other things like eggs and snowballs could work better in scenarios like this due to how they don't deal damage upon hitting an entity (except for snowballs hitting blazes). Or you could just fly directly into the target with elytra and fireworks, that's always an option.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1455">24:15</a> the crosshair was well clear of the pig. that's some crazy hitbox bs mojang. maybe it was because mumbo turned right after the arrow was fired and that's why it hit the pig but still.

I love how mumbo just completely switched from Redstone to building! And he's good at it! And he also is good at redstone!

you should call it Magic Junction as its acronym is MJ which also makes mumbo jumbo

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="363">6:03</a> The fact Mumbo even misspelt valuables ("valubles") shows his attention to detail on this bit

Would have been a fun opportunity for malicious compliance and made a door that opens but doesn't close. Also, I kinda wonder if the new calibrated skulk sensor could be used to spoof a target block activation. I think it can respond to using the bow, and the "invisible" redstone would blow their minds.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="475">7:55</a> that honestly sounds more like a form of executive dysfunction more so than “laziness” (laziness doesn’t really actually exist) Like, in an a very significant way, yes, putting efficiency on your shears and putting down a beacon would make you more efficient. But it would also interrupt your mental order of operations. You need to do your build, you want to do your build, so you’ve built up in your mind an order in which to do that. Step one is removing the wool outline, step two is getting the blocks, etc. The time it would take to put efficiency on your shears was not factored in, and trying to factor it in is making your original “build thing” order difficult to follow So the easiest solution is to just not do that. You want to get to the thing you want to do, in this case build, in the order you planed it out in, not take steps out of the order. Just a hunch but I’m autistic and I’ve gotten really used to my executive dysfunction being a little ridiculous, but usually it’s way easier to work with it than against it. Instead of being down on yourself for being “lazy” about it, try planning a day where you’re starting out plan for the minecraft recording is to get all your gear enchanted and write out the steps to do so (making the gear, getting the XP, having books/grindstones/advils on hand) and you’ll probably have enchanted shears. Same for if you factor in the time and effort it takes getting and setting up a beacon and taking down the beacon into your plan, you’ll be using a beacon more often But if it’s not in your mental plan, then you’re going to default to the easiest route that you’re comfortable with! This isn’t a bad or good thing, just a thing. Executive function is weird lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="385">6:25</a> The subtle off white coloring… my God, it even has a watermark

When updating redstone, I think a good approach is adding something that makes something impossible possible, but doesn’t simplify too many other things

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="580">9:40</a> you can see mumbo trying one last time to see if he could make the dollar sign work 😂

Crafting to many something out of excitement of what youre going to do with it is the most relatable thing cause you get really giddy and stimmy and you just gotta click 😭

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="880">14:40</a> Look the beauty of Minecraft is you don't have to use the resources, you can still push your items in unloaded chunks, nobody's stopping you. Just because there's technology, doesn't mean you _have_ to use it.

I think you should keep on building from concept art and planning it through with the viewers on the server, it gives more life and story to the build I think, and us viewers feel even more connected with the builds and mumbo. Seeing the thought process and feeling like I'm there with Mumbo is a big reason why I enjoy watching Mumbo's Hermitcraft episodes.

I feel like you should make the A in the safe sign flicker somehow and really send home the department store vibe.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="555">9:15</a> i love listening to mumbo ramble about the woes of building speed while watching him play ring around the rosie with a creeper all over his base

I'm loving these new builds! (recommendation: I would add chairs around the antique shop made from scaffolding and bamboo trapdoors, that seems like something the shop would sell. I'd also put some boxes at the bottom of the cliff as if they fell off, maybe a broken chair down there too).

I hope I found something as mumbo with redstone. He seems geniuenly happy when talking about redstone, it's kinda wholesome in a way

when he killed that pig, that genuinely took me out because i should’ve expected it but i wasn’t prepared

I think the best approach to the creative world vs experimentation dilemma is finding a balance of both - for example using a concept art based approach for key locations that dictate theming for the area (like big ron's and the knicknack shop), creative mode design for aspects you know will be large or need to do something very specific within the limits of the game (the bank both be exuding wealth in a pristine way but also fit with the other builds) and more freeform/moodboard/vague inspiration based experimentation for things that fill space, conform to preexisting terrain and/or connect the other types (like the storage rows or the forest). That way the overall feeling isn't constrained, the parts with the strictest demands don't burn away time to figure out, and the flow of the base can still maintain an organic feel. It's just a matter of balancing the amount of each with the time and ideas you have.

I can't believe it, Mumbo has been trapped in Skizz's basement and forced to work on the PoePoe headquarters. What a world do we live in.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1127">18:47</a> one must imagine Ren happy

Mumbo is slowly becoming one of the best builders and redstoners on the server

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1457">24:17</a> and to the court we go

Gonna suggest it again: When it comes to the farming area, have the farms be rundown and turned into where you get dirt, gravel, sand, and other soft earths. The owner tried his best being a farmer, but people kept trampling the crops making shortcuts to the food van (later), so he decided to rebrand as Agri-gate. Piles of gravel and sand available for purchase, and the dirt is just dug from the fields so theres a filthy hole. Then for food, a food truck / hippie van. P.L. Plants; for all your organic food needs (just ignore the automated harvesting farms supplying the food). The van set up on the edge of Magic Mountain Row and people tromp through thr farmlands to shortcut to the food truck, because the irony of ruining naturally grown crops to get fed from a hippie van claiming their food is organic is delightful. P.L. Plants used to be named R.L. Plants, after the owner Reece Loveland, but the sign has faded so people mistake the R for a P, and Reece doesn't want to invest the money into buying paint to fix it.

The background music in Mumbos videos sounds like a mixture between Harry Potter and Home Alone. I can dig it.
