Hermitcraft 10: New Honey Block Farm! (Ep. 5) 

Sniffers should be able to sniff out slime chunks. It would give more reasons to find them and would be a fun mechanic to lead them around until they react to the slime chunk.

11:57 "we are about to edge" -cubfan135 2024

16:53 I love how Cub says "So the farm starts up here with the bees" and the bees immediately pop out while he says that do demonstrate!

Your genuine excitement for the crafter separating the honey and bottles allowing you to reuse the bottles says so much about the crafter and how it has changed the game!

Cubfan135 is now Bundlefan135. Thank you for the fun episode but if you’re really really sick don’t feel obligated to post for us. Please take care of yourself. 🤒 Your honey block farm design is so efficient and material requirements are pretty low. Excited to use it!!! Spruce and mudbrick for the farm build with some yellow terracotta.

Season 10 X : what farm you gonna do this season. Cub : yes

I love how casual cub is in the chat after the wither death while everyone else was worried.

it would be amazing if there was some slime on the surface above a slime chunk. Not blocks, but something like the glow lichen or something that signified a slime chunk.

Mojang dropped the ball.... the Sniffer could have been used to sniff out slime

I guess the hunger issue was because of the regen potion. The health regeneration was using the potion effect instead of consuming the hunger.

Cub is so pure. He uses the spyglass instead of optifine or zoom mods. He refuses to use bee tool tips in minihud. Respect!

It would be cool if they made slime caves their own underground biome, with slime blocks, liquid slime pools, or even just differently textured stone that looks slimy. This would have been a great addition to the Caves and Cliffs update.

The excitement from coming up with a farm design and it working perfectly is bringing me pure joy. Keep up the amazing episodes, and Praise Bee!

Cubfan: ive become very very ill Also cubfan: so yeah we fought the wither- 😂😂 This man NEVER RESTS. Sickfan135 has no chill

I must admit that I don't really care for technical farms, but I need to watch Cub because he's always outragious somehow. I do love outragious. Cub please never change 😄

There should also be an in-game way to keep slimes from spawning. Something like a conduit. Stops slimes from spawning in a certain radius

It would be handy to have the "slime in a bottle" from the Botania mod in vanilla. You catch a small slime in a bottle. When you're in a slime chunk the captured slime gets excited.

Woot! More bundle love! But you’ve only begun to realize their power! For example, did you know that those bees nests you had in a shulker box could’ve been put in a single bundle? A single bundle can carry 64 unique hives! EDIT: this is no longer true! Apparently at some point they changed it so a filled hive takes up a full stack no matter what. They used to not stack together simply because they had different data, but the stack size for the block was still 64 so this trick worked great until they changed it I also highly recommend you keep some of the things you’d usually have at your base all tucked into a bundle to keep with you at all times. You can keep a crafting bench, stonecutter, a furnace setup (ranging from literally just a single furnace, to a compact furnace array of 8 furnaces with hoppers fed by a single chest boat), an anvil, grindstone, and basic compressed crafting materials like logs, iron blocks, coal blocks, bone blocks, and even a clock you can see just by hovering over the bundle to tell the time! All of that in a single inventory slot. Or two if you decide to keep a second mostly empty bundle to help you navigate to the thing you want in your primary bundle and then neatly put everything back in the same order. I can’t wait to see you unlock the full potential of bundles Cub

Cub: You love to see it. Ren: You hate to see it.

12:00 vine boom sound

Honey building, hmmm? 🤔 Do you want something different? How about a stack of pancakes with honey as the “syrup”, dripping down the side? The floor could be the “plate”, slabs surrounded by upside down stairs for the plate rim, maybe with a flower pattern (inside, on the floor) in the middle, like a fancy decorated plate. ❤

I had a migraine yesterday so I took painkillers and lay in a darkened room for a couple of hours. If I was Cub I could have redecorated the house! But seriously, hope you feel better soon Cub, don’t push yourself too hard xx

I agree with the slime chunk finding issue. Should be like some sort of slime dowsing wands that you can find in a witch's hut or something

Exactly, I also was also thinking there are so many things currently in Minecraft which are normal necessity in game like slime but any new player going blind without reasearch would never be able to figure it out so many mechanics which seems like common knowledge now but if you think about it are so obscure that you might only figure out naturally only with 100s of hours of game play.

17:00 "you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round right round"

Regarding finding slime chunks, i saw a mod that had a nifty mechanic, if you find a wild slime you could pick it up in a bucket and if you entered a slime chunk it would start bobbing in the bucket. Neat and kinda fits into the vanilla minecraft experience imo. Think something like that would be enough

That wither bug is kinda terrifying 😨

I LOVE bundles, so dang handy, just a little clunky to use. ALSO that was a dope honey block design! It seems we have to decide between a compact/tileable design that requires a million bottles, or this requiring less than a stack of bottles at the expense of size/complexity. Very interesting!

I don't know why but every time I think of honey farms. I think of a Large building like a butterfly pavilion. Or a large greenhouse.❤

Each of the two sides a very large bee, and they're facing and possibly toasting each other for a job well done. The middle/back farm, whateverr--or a third bee, why not, lol

When I make my bee farms. I place down all my hives and keep breeding them until they don't all go into a nest at night.

Solution to finding slime chunks in game: slime stone. Like Mossy Cobble but smooth stone with a slimy texture. Spawns only in slime chunks and below y40.

The minihud mod can do what you want with the bee nests. It can show you how many bees are in there, whether they're adult or children and the honey level as a tool tip.

I'm very excited to see all the hermits build out the auto crafter this season. For example I'd you need a lot of sticky pistons flip a switch and then they pull from your storage and craft all you need

12:00 dude💀

Yeah, a slime chunk detector would be nice. Maybe it could require slime to craft it so you would have to go to a swamp and wait for the full moon to collect slime and then craft the detector. The recipe could be used to make it easier or harder to craft depending on how OP Mojang thinks it would be,

Cub and Doc going crazy this season

Tango has a great slime farm design that just requires brown mushrooms and a swamp biome. Mumbo made it

Not being able to find slime chunks in an easy or immersive way is pretty annoying, but I think the swamp farms are much better now and a lot less work, so I don't mind.

12:02 we are about to edge? My dirty mind😂😂

I want to see a comically large cartoon flower. Like the flower pot person from Lego minifigure series 18 but without the person.

14:23 hey Cub, for these bee nests, it might have veen faster to place them all down at once, breed the bees once or twice and wait for them to go in at night. If there are bees left over then you for sure have full bee nests

I love watching farms being built, especially honey farms, and I dont really know why. Theres something so satisfying about watching the bees pop in and out of its hive. This bee farm you built didnt dissapoint, as well as the slime farm and others! Its amazing! Keep up the great work Cub!

16:28 Woah, Cubob Ross has entered the chat

I'll be honest, this is my favorite time of the season. When all the technical hermits are busy rebuilding their farming infrastructures and get to show off new concepts for farms.

Sorry you aren't feeling well Cub. I hope you get better quickly.

Cub has to be the most hardworking hermit, we are already on episode 5 !!!

You could try to do a custom chopped down tree stump but have it overflowing with honey blocks as an nice little decoration

13:57 cub explains dash’s

i would be cool if we could change colour of beehives, beehives here in Slovenia are very colourful and look really cool

I think slime chunks are one of the last things left which feels like a placeholder from the old days. I kinda expected slime chunks to be removed as part of caves & cliffs update.

Slime chunks should generate Gelatinated Stone in smaller veins or something! Maybe we could shear it to get slime balls. That way more casual players can obtain slime balls without having to build farms + it would signal the player they're in a slime chunk

get well soon CUB! have you tried Bee heads on noteblocks? maybe put them inline in the farm redstone to add sound effects, BeeWell!

Lolol Cub casually dropping his beef with the state of the game 😂 5:54

Like a year ago I actually made a dirt to mud converter as a part of clay producing machine with like half a stack of glass bottles in it's system. When dirt block was placed against an observer, glass bottle was filled with water, next used on the block and filtered out of the dispenser via standard sorting unit which accepts only empty glass bottles, then was resend to the bottle holding barrel completing the loop. Your system works somewhat similarly. Since I've build my machine I never understood why everyone uses like 9 stacks of bottles in their designs, it's just not the way to go. Great video Cub 👍 As a sidenote, I like to use lecterns with a 15 page book as my 1 block signal strength provider, you just flip the book on the page equal the signal strength you need. Just a personal preference, might be useful to someone.

10:10 That's a nice adaptation of Gnembon's easy slime farm. I used walls insteas of chest so the small slimes were still trapped at the corner but the slime items themselves can go through, so you can just move them directly no redstone requiered.

Cubs excitement over the honey farm is so charming eheehe

I forget what mod adds it but theres a Slime in a Bucket thats sort of like a compass, you hold it in your inventory(hotbar sonyou can see it) and the slime inside the bucket will start dancing excitedly when within a Slime Chunk. I have always thought this was the BEST most vanilla esk way to find Slime Chunks in game without relying on 3rd party programs/sites that abuse Seed and generation data

I started playing a solo Minecraft playthrough for fun and I realized that I play similarly to Cub. I don't do much building but when I do it looks good and I like it. I focus on farms and stuff for fun and to be able to get a ton of resources.

13:28 Get the Beenfo mod, it does exactly what you're asking for :D

Fantastic video, as always. Just FYI "-" is a dash, "/" is a slash.

This was awesome! lov the farm designs!!!

I love your exitement of the farm when it produces, made me smile. You sound sick though, please take care of yourself and don't get too strained and overwork. The bee farm is so cool !

I can just see it now, Waxed Weathered Wicked Whacky Bee's Nest, Weathered Wicked Whacky Bee's Nest, Wicked Whacky Bee's Nest ...............

If you put glow lichen on the underside of the iron farm, then the darkness will be less noticeable and less jarring.

Loving the new season and episode cub! One thought, it would be cheaper to have the crafter dispense the slime blocks into the bubblevator instead of the dispenser and extra redstone.

@9:30 a little simplification you can do is to make the crafter shoot the slime blocks directly into water

I love your video so much. It's so calming to listen to you while I work! Congrats on this ultra productive honey block farm, Cub!!

Just an idea for slime chunks… perhaps there is a slightly higher concentration of glow lichen in caves with slime spawning. You’d still need open cave area, but it could help. And the lichen kind of looks like a slime trail.

The Sniffer could find slime, or the cartographer could sell maps to slime chunks (similar to the ocean monument map, etc.).

We’re about to edge 😂

This honey farm is pretty much the first farm I've ever seen that features tons of comparators that I can actually understand. Also MOJANG WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIND SLIME CHUNKS EASIER AND TELL HOW MANY BEES ARE IN A BEES NEST! But you did a great job explaining the bee farm, cub

Cub you need to look at the new Mumbo slime meta. No slime chunk necessary.

Hey Cub, awesome Video! You could shoot the crafted items from the crafter directly into a waterelevator instead of building an additional dispenser for that.

For an in game way to identify slime chunks, mojang should add dripping slime particles like the water and lava ones but not from every block and not all the time. They could make it random so if you’re digging in a slime chunk under a certain level you might see slime particles at random and know that’s a slime chunk. Alternatively (and I like this idea better), they could add a slime cave biome that starts in a slime chunk below certain levels and spreads out by no more than 2-3 chunks In any direction. There could be slime blocks mixed in with the stone, slimes spawning and perhaps a slime layer like snow or carpets. Finally, they could add blue, pink, yellow slimes. Perhaps determined by the overworld biome the chunk spawns in. Final edit: Cub! Please make your slime farm into a slimy biome. Would be so cool.

at 22:42, You could build a honey dome around the farm with honey blocks and glass blocks.

The slime farm storage gave me flashbacks to your s5 sugarcane farm!!!

Rest well and get better soon cub!

Cubfan is the Bob Ross of Minecraft

I love bundles, too. The only downside is how difficult it can be getting at the first items put in when you have many different kinds of items in the bundle, especially if your inventory is rather full. I wish you couild take the items in and out in any order. Still, they really revolutionize inventory space, and even chest storage. I like to carry as many bundles as possible. When I'm out exploring, that lets me bring home everything I want. Especially in the early game when I'm looking for all the wood types and need to bring home just a few saplings of each, and same for other plants that I can then establish at home from a few seeds or starters, the bundles are HUGELY useful.

Hey Cub. Watching you since season 6. You are a hard-working motherlover. I love your crazy builds - the pyramid from season 7 was my favorite and I loved its comeback last season for TCG (you and me). I am coding since christmas like a slave and Hermitcraft helps me to keep on going even when I do not want to do anything. You guys create better entertainment than Hollywood and Co. Love you man, keep on building and I keep on coding. Thank you so much for so many years of joy. ❤

Get well soon Cub! I love seeing folks build efficient farms and can't wait to see how far you can take automation with the crafter this season.

2 big bumble bees made with the farms insdie them hovering over a flower = great video

The only way for slimes to be able to work that way is if they bypassed the minimum distance from a player that mobs can spawn, which would be pretty frustrating while caving if you're fighting a creeper and a slime spawns directly behind you. The best way in game that I can think of currently is if you enter a cave where there's a slime spawned F3+B to see chunk borders and build a grid of fences in the vicinity where you saw the slime. Leave and come back and if any new slimes have spawned within a cell of your fence grid you know that chunk is the slime chunk.

Man, I can't wait to play with the crafter!

My first thought for your bee farm building was like... a heat sink/CPU cooling fan? One of those big fancy ones? To match the theme of your iron farm being electrical?

I'd love to see the honey farm being inside like a beehive building and a giant bee hovering it

Cub you should try to make some kind of a greenhouse in the area of the bee farms. For the floor I would suggest a checker floor of mushroom stems and glazed green terracotta, because it makes a pretty nice pattern, looking like palm tree leaves

I would honestly love another beetho based honey farm from his old ftb series. He had a great bee honey comb designed building dedicated to bees and breeding bees

Cubfan is so underappreciated and gets nowhere near the amount of views he deserves. Such great videos and amusing content.

Love the farm design Cub!!

Like slime chunk maps that would be found in villages? The villagers had explored the caves and marked areas where strange gooey creatures live

Love the honey farm. I built a farm using the same idea of an item filter, but it was so large for the item filter that I could only fir 4 in a chunk. Those compact item filters are going to be very helpful when I get the crafter.

I just recently built big piston based sugarcane farm in my survival world. It has 4 rows and length of a double redstone signal range, so around 120 pistons. I came to the conclusion that going any bigger with the piston design just isn't great and efficient (even though I used 4 daylight sensors to trigger the harvest instead of over 100 observers). Nice to see Cub tackling a flying machine design for this kind of farm. I can learn a thing or two as I never got around playing with slime/honey blocks properly.

I'm glad the hermits are finally getting to experience the bundles! I've been using them since 1.17 and although they can be a bit annoying, they are so useful! I always have a bundle in my inventory.

psh, a way to find slime chunks naturally.. next thing u know hes gonna suggest a use for the fletching table, the gall!

The texture of the honey block and it's dark hole could "simply" change depending of the numbers of bees attributed: no hole = 0; 1 hole = 1 up to 3 And when they are in the bee nest, each hole would get a little yellowish to signify they are inside !

you can check how many bees are in a nest with f3, if you're looking at a placed bee nest. on the bottom right corner it should say how many

There are a lot of things in minecraft that need in-game ways of finding imo. Started a new world, decided i wanted to build with cherry, closest cherry biome was 7000 blocks away... Imagine not using a seed mapper and trying to find a cherry biome just through adventuring. Now I'm all for adventuring, but there's on so much world gen sight seeing I can take before it stops feeling fun.

Covering the mechanics with leaves you could do a greenhouse or glass like structure
