Hermitcraft X 1148 Trophies In The Mail... Or Not? 

X, that type of crop farm works for most crops, but not wheat. Farmers turn wheat into bread before giving it to other villagers. But if you fill their inventory with seeds they won't be able to pick up the wheat and a hopper minecart will be able to grab it all. And since you won't need that second villager for that kind of farm, you can put him to work gathering wheat as well.

I liked what Tango did last season for displaying custom items - sea lanters with invisible item frames. It looks like a custom item frame and gives off a nice glow

11:42 I've rewatched this part of the video five times now, and I have no idea how Etho just materialized out of thin air.

I can't believe that Gem cut the mail diagnostics out of her episode. "Humble? Where?" GeminiSlay out for blood!

Xisuma being so awed by Pearl’s mule truck that he forgot he was in the middle of conversation was the most wholesome thing ever.

As Gem said "It's my Xisuma time" Which means time to watch a new Xisuma video

I am a little bit concern about the amount of item frames in the room for all the hermits. Here is an idea, put the thropis ranks on the bottom (x axis) and just move up the hermit heads to the highest rank they owned. Also it has a nice benefit that it looks like a race to the finish line.

Xs sales are probably helped by how expensive copper decor apparently is, seems super popular for decor!

12:00 gem being upset about losing out on xisuma time is so adorable and funny.

13:12 "Humble? Where?" Has me dying laughing

Hey X, make sure to let Etho know that you sent Cleos trophies from your base, not the sales office. That might be why he can't find it. Also, minecarts won't go in boats, but boats can go in minecarts which is a great alternative to furnace minecarts. Lastly, the villagers wouldn't go up on land because the rails are considered full blocks to mobs. Great vid, man!

If you want to add a 'third place' to the tiering (rule of three and all), either an emerald block or a copper block could work! Copper looks like bronze, the traditional 'third place', but considering gold is second and diamond is first, emerald might be more in the minecraft-y spirit!

xisuma you should make contracts with the post office for stamps and mumbo for item frames so you can do the sales trophy store more efficiently

“But that is going to be it from me” *video ends*

I'm really enjoying season X, it has a lot of the charm of old minecraft, but sort of elevated by the features of new minecraft. And its so good the Hermits are so close together this season.

i love the amount of the video spent trying to find cleo's mail which was ultimately found in her mailbox

I'm a simple man; I see Etho in thumb, I click.

16:00 make their top trophy a glow frame so it pops out from the rest.

You could build pillars of snow like Tango did with Decked Out 2; each layer of snow could be ten diamonds' worth of sales, and when they get enough for a trophy you can attach an item frame and the trophy to their specific pillar.

"Lets go play Minecraft for a bit of chill escapism!" Ren, Pearl and Grian immediately set up bureaucracies mirroring RL!

Hi X, I feel like a full room of item frames is going to be really busy. Couldn't you make the leader board in the form of the graph? So you put the trophies on the left (or wherever else you'd like) and then use redstone lamps to going up to highlight how much diamonds made every hermit has reached? I hope this helps :)

16:20 This looks a lot like a movie theater, so I have a suggestion. Lean into the movie theater vibe! Call it the theater board! And, add some like, projectors, maybe popcorn bits, maybe some chairs, you never know! Could work. :)

Instead of using a wall of item frames, I wonder if it would be more visually interesting if you just pillared up the blocks with their head on top as they make more sales, like a graph. Could still use some of the flat trophies to show the levels on the side/be on the topmost block as an indicator, but I think having the blocks grow with time with the hermit heads on top would look really dynamic.

Loved the abrupt ending, proof that outros don't need to be long and drawn out.

When I first saw that leaderboard room, I thought you were gonna stack up blocks to show how far hermits were, like a bar graph! You could put hermit heads along the bottom and whatever trophy they're at on the top of the blocks.

If the sales leaderboard is a long-term thing, it could double as a historical tracker: keep the hermits on the x axis, levels/trophies on y, and in each cell, put a sign recording the date the milestone/trophy was achieved! Glow+Colouring the signs adds a few possibilities to decorate or highlight data; I'm thinking colouring each sign by their month, rotating through the colour wheel over time (and if this lasts years, maybe rotate the signs wood type). It might create a nice gradient and a cool representation of sales over time at a glance! One more idea: the background blocks on each line could be a different wood type (planks and stripped), creating visual lines attached to the trophies on the axis (on both sides?). Could be a gentle vertical gradient, or lines only for major milestones, or wood types matching each trophy's colour; though that last one could make things too busy visually with all the other colours.

An idea for the leaderboards, you could do what Tango did for Decked Out and have snow layers with each layer representing x amount of diamonds. Then you could put the trophies in front of the snow perhaps.

Hi xisumaviod brilliant videos and at 2:06 the rainbow wool pattern on top of your sales shop. Reminds me of that button game on top of the nether. In one of the hermitcraft worlds.

Hey Xisuma! I think you could get some inspiration from the MCC Leaderboard Room, I think that's a great and neat way to display each hermit Something I like about the MCC Room is how open it is, the room itself isnt that big but the windows and open spaces make the "Bar Chart" look much grander

Maybe you should've told Etho you send the missing Mail from your base and not from your sales office (maybe you did off video though)

Hey X, you should use glow ink on the item frames for the trophies.

You need to put a full block on top of the composter, then an "umbrella" of trapdoors around the top of the full block. That way, the farmer will be able to see the composter and keep the job (would be good to lock his trade, jic), but he won't be able to compost the wheat or seeds. That's how I did it and it works for me.

One suggestion for the leaderboard: Make a sort of grid where you have the hermits at the bottom and the trophies at the left, and the rest is just redstone lamps which get turned on whenever a hermit achieves a trophy!

You’ve probably worked it out by now, but you need to add trap doors to stop the farmer from reaching the compost. Otherwise he’ll compost all the wheat which is what he’s been doing. Also you don’t need a hopper mine card you can actually just use a fence post and have a hopper underneath it, and that works just as well that it was brought by good old logical, geek boy

7:30 I wonder if the stamp problem could be solved by creating District stamps. 1 for the shopping district, and 1 for the government district (Grian should be happy to share a mailbox, as long as you sort permit office mail into a bin for him!)?

18:28 they don't like to pathfind over rails.

I am always in wonder of these hermits builds Me personally? I have the creativity of a wet dog These people are amazing

The back trophy room should be bright and happy, I think the dark wood on the back wall needs to be brighter

Really enjoying the pacing and variety from X this season.

You could use glow item frames instead of the normal ones to make the trophies stand out a bit more :)

Regarding the leaderboard, (gonna use some database terms here) instead of using the hermit heads as key, use the trophy instead. Place each type of trophy on the floor and place the hermit heads above it. They r placed based on their highest trophy (weekly update?)

X! Reverse the order of items in your leaderboard. What I mean is: put the trophies on the iron blocks instead, and the hermits' heads in the item frames :D

Hey X, using glow item frames instead of regular ones might make the trophy wall look a little nicer. The texture might make the item stand out more. Just a thought

"Hope they see the land" uses rails right next to water XD

I love how Etho just ✨️appears✨️

For the display wall: Do not use too many item frames; place the item frames on the left, (maybe right, and center sides aswell), and fill in, as if filling in a table in Excel, with blocks the current status for each participating hermit. Consider also giving the table a different background color than the rest of the wall. Keep up the good work and thanks for the amazing episode! ⭐

Lmao that double furnace Minecart made me chuckle

You could make the trophy tracking room look like a giant glass cabinet along the wall. Or literally make a giant exponential bar chart on the wall, trophy variants along the x axis, and the hermits heads tracking the y axis :) use cyan wool in the bars to represent the diamonds used etc.

Good episode, X! I like the Leaderboard. Too bad Doc won’t be able to participate. He’s so competitive. Cleo is just full on printing diamonds with that kitty cafe. $_$

The permits and trophies really incentivizes creating services and unique businesses this season and I like the combo

Hermits in the sales leaderboard could be separated in diffirent faction(like neighborhood and magical mountain and such) and got their own first, second and third place. So that could be a competition within them and maybe to get some hermits have a reason to gather or have some chats in the leaderboard room.

Hey xisuma, I think it could be really interesting if you put some of the diamonds you earn from people buying trophies to use as an incentive. The top three or five people with the highest trophies at the end of the set time splits those diamonds, with 1st place getting the most and so on down the line. (This can incentivize the purchase of your trophies as well) Maybe also give out mega-seller trophies for the people who have won so they can show them off in their shops, and act like a verified xisuma stamp of recommendation for that shop. Or, set one item that everyone can sell, and have a competition to see who can sell it the most, then have those same rewards, to add a bit more fairness and competition. That's all! Love your videos!

16:07 make something that looks like Formula 1 podium in the middle first second and third and the others just casual displaying trophys

X I’ve been absolutely loving your videos this season. Your pacing, enjoyment, and interactions are perfect. And i appreciate you going out of your comfort zone to hang with the hermits more 😊

Just loving the tone, atmosphere, interactions, and overall feel of this season! Great content X!

Can't wait for the stream! Have a great dig yall!

The flat trophy textures for the wall should have a background like the shulker box textures.

your trophy ranking room needs a red carpet and a few seats, maybe some curtains like a theatre :)

"Upgrade our shop" Novel idea! I like the idea of starting small and building a larger and larger shop to reflect the sales.

It’s been a while since I made a west farm like that but I think the problem is just that you need to wait for the villager to fill up his inventory before he’ll trade with the other villager

Stil not over "3 hermits 1 hole"

Your base is amazing!! Those palm trees look so good!! 👍

I love the shape of the sales shop, I always struggle with my buildings looking a bit flat so I’m learning a lot from it!

It would be cool for the leaderboards gallery to have a unique armorstamd for each hermit, with their heads, different poses, diferent armors… showing their highest trophy and maybe with a nod to their diamond permit (Doc’s armorstand is carrying a lot of wood, grians is making primsmarine etc

I still call you X-I-Zuma-Void in my head or however you spell what keralis says.

Glow item frames could also be cool to literally highlight the leaders, not sure what the desired lighting is though

For your leaderboard room, I think it would be fun to put the player heads on armor stands then use different armor to show their placement. You could do a lot with leather and trims plus use iron, gold and diamond for your top players. You can adjust the stands with different poses to help create some life to the room. Really enjoy your ideas and wholesome personally. Always a joy to watch. 💕

maybe to the sides of the leaderboard room you could add some pedestals to put statues of the first hermits to reach 1000 diamonds and 10thousand diamonds, or maybe 5000 and 10000, just to add some decorations and as points from which you could extend some patterns/decorations on the floors/walls

Hey X! For the leaderboard, what about using some other block besides iron for the base, and then using gold, iron, and waxed unoxidized copper blocks to show first, second, and third respectively? They'd be like gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Olympics.

Fill your villager with seeds and plant your wheat fields before cutting them loose in the farm. For collection in my wheat fields I love Allay. Two can work 4 plots with a central pickup. One does seeds for recycling, one picks up wheat. And for more visual fun and boosted production, add a beehive for each plot.

I love that the post infrastructure is a free public service in its setup so everyone can participate. Sure, a bit to use, but ultimately, it's not for-profit, but for everyone's enjoyment, as it should be ❤

XB might have a ton of leather from his hoglin farm

You could fill behind the item frames with redstone lamps or copper bulbs and turn them on when the hermit gets that trophy. I think this would be a great visual

I think the mail system can also be used as bank. Place one at the shopping district and make yourself a bank hahaha

did he forget he has a villager breeder in his base already lol

For the leader board, perhaps instead of iron, gold and diamond blocks with heads on top, you could use armor stands. With player heads and armor with differing colors to represent positioning. Leather for third and below, gold for second place, diamond for first. Or iron for third and below and leather for those who have signed up as it'll blend into the wood tones and might be an incentive for people to join if they see their heads??

For the Leaderboard. What about a Decked Out style leaderboard with Snow Layers indicating 100 diamond intervals. Perhaps you can make a measure texture nugget of alternating black and white pixels that goes up to the ceiling height.

You could make a shelf with horizontal item frames to display the 3D trophies.

Maybe a big framed plaque as a backdrop is what the hermit trophies leaderboard is missing.

X, You should have a trophy for SPENDING diamonds as well. Incentivize people to not be a hoarder the whole season and circulate the diamonds around more frequently.

"Humble!?... WHERE!?..." bahahahahaha

suggestion for the walls behind the Sales Leaderboard....once a month have a painting/poster (similar to a permit/stamp) for the "top" leader of the month (kinda like employee of the month)

Sadly the wheat farms require that the villagers inventory be full of seeds then you have to hopper minecart pick up the wheat which will stay on the ground because the villagers inventory is full of seeds. If their inventory isn't full of seeds they will pick up the wheat and convert it into bread and then share the bread. Which if that's what you are going for then great!

These hermits really like their tea and coffee.

You should make a giant fancy billboard maybe at the shop showcasing first place

You should team up with Mumbo to install a total server wide sales display in the leader board room

I like the leaderboards room. Kinda feels a bit like the theatre backstage that I used to chill in at back in university

16:16, I think glow item frame will look more amazing and the back wall should be more simple and darker like black concrete.

i think something could be done with armor stands as a way to represent each individual hermit. would add some visual weight to that aspect and allow for some variety with the poses.

Dude quiz games will make Excellent episodes with other hermits. As long as the prep time isn't overwhelming

Would glow item frames distract from the trophy models too much on the tracking board? The only thing I would say about that room is that it's a little bit dark and might need some brightening? But it might be better when it has more trophies on the wall, and I guess you don't really want to distract from the trophies. The Sales shop is looking really cool so far!

So quick thing that might be kind of cool... The new trophies that are made to be in item frames look a lot like ribbons. So if you were put the item model on a chestplate that might be quite fun =p

X you can tell the Sales shop requests to include a “Return” stamp so that you can send it back to them! (For free!)

Awesome episode! Love the leaderboard idea! Can’t wait to see more Hermits participate! Uh oh hope the mail box gets fixed soon. Keep up the awesome work! Have a fantastic weekend! See you later!

Instead of a plane wood wall, what if you put the hermit sales progresses on a stage like in a theatre? Gives the room a little bit more depth

As an option for the wheat farm, perhaps an allay + villagers (+ bees possibly) based farm would work? An allay can pick up items quite quick and if you give it wheat as it's pick-up item it won't pick up the seeds (leaving those for the villager), but should pick up at least some of the wheat. Additionally, if you'd want to add them, bees can be added into the setup to sometimes progress the growing stages of the wheat faster.

I think it would be cool if a copper bulb turned on behind the trophies that the hermits received.

Put coloured wool behind the item frames that matches the trophy colour. Gives the item a bit more weight/substance/hierarchy instead of getting lost in the wall.

I would suggest making a deal with the post office, to give them free trophies in exchange for the mail box to be a giver and receiver of mail, and a bunch of custom "Sales" stamps to give to people when they subscribe to the service. Otherwise, hermits would have to bank the stamps themselves which normally for a mail-only service like this would be included in the price already.

I think you have to fill the inventory of the villagers first. 8 stacks or carrots per villager should do.
