Hermitcraft 9: PRANKED BY CUDDLES! (Episode 7) 

Next time extra item frames with items called "nope"

literally big brain XD

I bet that hurt a little bit :(

we're talking about a guy who's very experienced in some technical aspect of the game aside from redstone

For me it was kind of cheating. It was a lot less fun.

They're alphabetical. The problem isn't really organization so much as what the stats are called in-game isn't what first comes to mind when looking for specific ones. Just calling it "Deaths" would be so much better. The other option would be allowing the player to reorder the stats to put the few they care about at the top of the list.

Everything in the statistics page is a number so it makes no sense to start deaths with "number of". Should totally be searchable too!

@@jimmartin516655 Or make icons for each stat so that we can see it at a glance

@@mohammadazad8350 I don't know about that... There's a 0% chance that I would understand icons better than words, and they would definitely be harder to search...

the fastest/easiest fix without changing much would be to add a search feature

(no shade, I've just never seen someone so smooth around a ravager)

I was impressed! I've never survived a ravager encounter. I'm bad at the game though. 😅

I was just about to say that but then he said he didn't want it flooded and scar wants to sell to a fish person preferably as he said.

Mabel cub could also set up a conduit and live in the water!

I read that as, "dont horny". Please send help.

@@Yamato_GD *bonk*

This was my first thought when you said you were moving, i just think it would be hilarious if you just move from basement to basement all season as the mega builds get bigger you just get a bigger basement to live in

Gigabases lead to gigabasements...

Someone in the server should help him, maybe send him a book with all the best heights for each ore, he's really lost

I’ll go for method 2, I enjoy powder mining in hypixel skyblock, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy strip mining, caving just makes it a whole lot better

@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 I've always enjoyed straight strip mining out chunks under my base, I find it really zen and I get lots of resources. The new cave gen makes it so much more fun (already found two amethyst geodes :D)

Also TFC at 14:29 - "That's BRANCH mine!!" :)

There are times when I'm in the mood for the more monotonous and mob-free mining experience. So it's nice to have options.

So true

Nothing will be Grian being part of his prank

Now I'm going to have to look up what Wordle is, I'm too old to keep up with the hip new trends.

@@Werewolf914 I'm not even 20 and I still had no idea what wordle was until maybe last month. My friends have to keep me in check because I am not in with the trends either.

And then he just turns on hit boxes and basically cheats it. Pretty lame if you ask me

@Meeko - hasn't seen grass since 2020 pointing above I'm pretty sure

@@noah5271 yeah

@Meeko - hasn't seen grass since 2020 maybe they reaaaaaally wanted to say I agree

I was disappointed ☹️

Yeah

Ya, I feel like him showing hitboxes ruined the whole game. Basically cheating.

@@flyinstuff ITs a fucking game with no rules. Deal with it.

@@freighter1097 ever head of the concept “unspoken rules”

there could've also been item frames with items already on them named something like "Nope, try again" or "No exploits" that would've been an even bigger troll haha

Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought that.

The book made it sound like the item frames were invisible, so I think that's why he turned on hitboxes.

I agree, felt like it really went against the spirit of the prank. I dont think Impulse considered that cub would cheat so why would he guard against it? Re-run, for real this time

I’m not sure it would have. There were some serious ravager avoiding skills there.

Cub puts 100% into everything he does! Legendary grinder and flexer!

unfortunately the entire study is invalid since he used fortune rather than silk touch.. can't base a study off of luck.

@@bot_Est1989 Since he used the fortune pick for all of them and the numbers are sufficiently high, I suspect it'll work out similarly/the same. If he had only mined one or two hundred diamonds each way I could see your point but the statistical fluctuation after thousands is going to be tamped down.

@@fuzzzone i agree the outcome likely would be the same with such a large total number. i'm just pointing out his unnecessary addition of randomness into what's supposed to be a scientific study.

@@bot_Est1989 To preface this: I know that this is an excessive response to a one sentence reply. I wrote this because I saw the notification when I had nothing better to do and because I found it interesting to think/write about. Every study that has ever existed has been impacted by some amount of "luck". Ideal conditions do not exist reliably in the real world. Nobody should discount a real world study because it has a non-zero margin of error. There are many aspects of Cub's study that are affected by luck or RNG: ore placement within the seed, mob spawning, mob AI, the player's reaction to mobs and other obstacles, etc. There is no way to get the "ideal" seed, "ideal" mob-spawning/behavior, or "ideal" player behavior. There is no way to simulate these tests with every possible result of these RNG source on every possible seed either. Cub's study is by no means conclusive proof. However, the data he collected shows that there are major differences in the outcomes of each method which seem larger than what could reasonably be caused by fortune or other error sources. He or other people can perform additional tests with these methods to collect more data. Would the results be more accurate if Cub used silk touch? Maybe, maybe not. If Cub had used silk touch, he would have to consider how he would mend his pickaxe or allocate additional inventory space to carry multiple picks. Any mobile source of XP or additional picks will be finite. Going to an XP farm would be a huge time sink, and the time that it takes to travel is dependent on the location of HC's XP farm. Fortune is based on RNG, but the expected value of the result of Minecraft's RNG is the same for all (vanilla) players. If Cub switched to silk touch only for ores, then the time it takes to switch between pickaxes, the time it takes to mend the silk touch pickaxe, and any mistaken fortuning of ores or silk-touching of deepslate would be additional sources of error. Also, no reasonable person is going to want to spend 25+ hours mining only to end up with boxes of ores that would need to be fortuned anyways and deepslate that would need to be mined again to be useful. This would probably amount to hours of additional time. Cub is trying to provide useful information for players to use, and I believe it more useful to show that fortuning ores is sustainable with mending than to show the best way to mend a silk touch pick. It would be interesting to see someone reproduce Cub's tests with silk touch instead of fortune and address the additional issues introduced by using silk touch, but I doubt most people have 25+ hours to dedicate to that. TL;DR: Every study has sources of error. Fortune is not the only source of "luck" in Minecraft. Silk touch would introduce additional sources of error that would also have an effect of the results. Large sample sizes and repeated tests decrease the effect that sources of error have on the data. Cub spent ~8 hours testing each method to decrease the effect RNG has on the results.

He ain't alone!

@@brittonparnell2168 Same. Ever since I saw the episode where TFC explained the difference. Ignorance was bliss 😋

Branch mines were originally called strip mines when the game was in alpha.

@@zapy9715 maybe but tfc and us are referring to real world basis which would still make it calling them strip mines earlier incorrect

@@zapy9715 doesn't really excuse continued incorrect usage considering both terms had been defined long before Minecraft existed as a game. If you have ever seen an actual strip mine IRL, you would never confuse it with a branch mine. They are horribly devastating to the environment.

Are you sure?

I’m sure mumbo is ;)

@@ralisgroffen Obviously, Schrodinger's diamonds, he has all the diamonds and none of the diamonds at the same time since we don't know how many he has

actually mumbo clearly has the most idk what your talking about

@@liampbjray5562 i dont know what youre talkin about either

so true bro xD

true

nobody cares about a no death record. people try it every season, and every time it just turns people into fun suckers who won't participate in shenanigans. That's why nobody does it anymore. Viewers don't care either, it just makes the first death slightly more juicy, but nobody is watching cub because he hasn't died. cub isn't trying for a record, it's just happenstance that he has not died. it would be dumb to let that accidental achievement become a "thing" that eclipses the spirit of the server

@@jhat2014 waaah

@@jhat2014 Please tell me the spirit of the server. The only Hermit is TFC. An actual hermit.

@@jhat2014 The spirit of hermitcraft is whatever the hermits do with it. If cub wants to try his hardest not to die, that's in the spirit of hermitcraft! Because he is a hermit!!! Just because you or me or anyone doesn't enjoy a particular part of it doesn't mean we can dictate what's in the spirit of the server because the spirit of hermitcraft is the people in it. Not saying you aren't allowed to not enjoy parts of it, everyone has different things that they find fun or entertaining, but you can't say what does or doesn't count as the spirit of hermitcraft

i didnt know there was a spirit of hermitcraft

About 21.000

I am actually strip mining (in Minecraft, not IRL), not for copper or coal but because I wanted a big ugly hole in my world and underestimated the challenge of digging it manually. XD The pros: *massive* amounts of resources (especially stone, cobble, and deepslate), impressive change to the landscape, and lots of slimes. The cons: slow, boring (though not as much as branch mining imo), inefficient if you're looking for ores (or spawners or geodes) and requires a lot of tool repairs (netherite picks and Haste beacons are essential), and lots of slimes. Which sounds kind of terrible but I've been picking away at it for over a year, whiled away many relaxing evenings, listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, reached bedrock twice (thanks 1.18 update for doubling the depth of my hole), killed the wither for the first time, created nearly a full diamond beacon, learned to use Replay Mod to chronicle the Big Dig, built an entire gold farm just to keep up with tool repairs, turned the half-finished build projects around the hole into ruins because they were neglected so long, mastered archery because of the damn slimes, sniped a skeleton at the bottom of the hole and got the Sniper Duel achievement, murdered multiple friends (they logged out in the hole and I dug away the floor, and since the hole includes spawn this resulted in death loops), built an in-between-bases-base in the side of the hole, the hole is my home now, i will live there forever, this world shall be consumed from within. Anyway strip mining is great

And why not metod 3 but higher up?

@@ralisgroffen higher up has less diamond spawns

@@naokaderapider4210 but: stone mines faster than deepslate

@@ralisgroffen grian and scar tried it out. Grian got like 13 diamonds in the time scar got two stacks. The time saved doesnt make up for the lack of diamonds

He was inspired by the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, so he tried to build in that colorful style. Cub's version was much bigger!

I don't know why it'd so often misunderstood, strip mining: you strip the area bare branch mining:you make a bunch of small holes, that look like branches on a tree.

I'm guessing it was one popular youtuber who made a mistake, which caused a cascade of incorrect usages in videos. Now it seems everyone but X uses the wrong term. It would make for an interesting video if someone tried to track down how this started in the minecraft community.

Kinda ruined it for me
