I Mined for 12 hours in Minecraft 

So it turns out I don't understand how caving works in 1.20. The updates to ore generation have gone back and forth so much that I am lost! But as far as I can tell; diamonds used to spawn LESS when exposed to air, then they increased it (This is where I got confused), at one point Diamonds would generate a lot in water caves as water isn't air but they might have fixed that, and I'm not sure at which stage of this pipeline the Season started at.

A echo compass could have saved you with finding your stuff back... Lots of people say it's useless, but this is the kind of situation where it is priceless

Recovery compass' should be sold at world spawn, maybe an addition to a "Did you die?" box.

"Grian, did you put your name in the Goblet of Scar?" Mumbodore chobbled chuffly.

You dont know how much increasing the exposure is for me! For some reason anytime I see a mcyt in a cave, it looks completely black, so being able to see the cave for once was a delight! Thank you for caring how it looks post to the viewer!

Indeed, the sea provides. Another hermit has fallen into her gentle grasp again.

I LOVE how he has written ”exposure increased by 2 stops in post” like it’s recorded with a cine camera! True Mumbo cinematographer style!

the "today im going to be getting good." intro was a real season 7 throwback LOL

When we watch 27 hermits all day, we forget the challenges of SMP. It was great to watch a high caliber hermit struggling with resource gathering the same way I do. I love the direction this season is going and that doesn't detract from your beautiful megabuild last season. Keep up the good work mate.

Ore spawn rates (especially diamond) are actually increased underwater, because they have less a likelihood to spawn when in contact with an air block. But in the flooded caves, there is no air! It is statistically one of the best strategies :)

I wonder how many times he did the "I stored my diamonds.....right....HERE!" bit to himself in those 12 hours of insanity.

You mined 100 days.... then you decided to mine for 12 real life hours?? This man is crazy

SO the way diamond ore generation works, as i understand it or read a while ago: diamonds spawn more frequently when exposed to air, but spawn in larger veins when not exposed to air. this is why in caves you get a lot of singular diamond veins vs larger veins when strip-mining. BUT underwater caves are funky, because the cave generation is exposing more diamonds to player view, BUT they are spawning in larger veins because they aren't exposed to air. this is why underwater mining is probably the best way to find diamond in the current version of minecraft imo

Mumbo is probably the first gaming youtuber to put "*exposure increased by 2 stops in post" into his gaming video. Filmmaker mindset coming through and I am all for it!

Love how scar is making everyone go mining unintentionally

17:24 Mumbo, do something you find fun, don’t worry about us. Yes we get excited when you do upload, but your mental health is more important. Do some fun shenanigans like you did with Gri in season 6, start a war, build a grumbot(he misses his dads) make things go boom!! Your mental state is more important than anything.

A good tip: Remember to swap to a chestplate when in dangerous environments. The chestplate is like 40% of the protection armour provides in and of itself, so put it on!!!

im loving all the graphics lately. the timer, the title cards (obviously), the art-cam and live-hand-cam in past vids, all so fun. mumbo graphic design jumbo

You could use a recovery compass to find where you died. It surprises me how many people forget the recovery compass exists!

maybe you would enjoy using a Turtle Shell helmet for such diving expeditions They grant you 10 second of water breathing every time you get some air, so anytime you surface or use like a hole or door to breath, you will reset the 10 seconds. I find it very useful and with it I can basically stay underwater safely pretty easily

The formatting of your episodes this season, with the title cards and the little corner displays and all the other additional details, are so cool. It compliments your already super engaging commentary and style of video-making really well. Makes it super fun to watch your videos, even if it's just about mining!

5:02 - It's actually the other way around, diamonds are more likely to *not* be exposed to air. That's part of the reason that underwater caves are so profitable, as water isn't air so more diamonds spawn.

0:52 finally 10 episode in man gets "Enchanter" achivement 😂

This is why my preferred way of getting resources now is to make a ton of nightvision potions and then run/swim around caves and grab as much as I can before getting out. It’s crazy how much you can get in a relatively short time.

14:36 when he sleeps: all good MJ? all good What a wholesome moment 😢

Truly a "minor" challenge to the mighty Mumbo Jumbo

_Tips for finding ores:_ *GENERAL:* 1. When you go mining, bring a bunch of night vision potions. This will reduce the need for torches and help you find ores on walls and ceilings. 2. If you find a deep crevasse in an ocean, dig beneath its deepest point. There is a decent chance you will find a larger cave below. *DIAMOND:* 1. In Java Edition 1.20.2, diamonds were made significantly more common. If you are playing in a world created before then, go to newly generated terrain before looking for diamonds. 2. 5:03 Mumbo is not correct here; diamonds actually have slightly _reduced_ air exposure. However, caving is still the best strategy due to the sheer number of blocks the cave exposes. 3. Underwater mining will actually grant you more diamonds. This is because the "reduced air exposure" rule does not apply in water. *IRON AND COAL:* 1. Iron and coal spawn abundantly at high altitudes. For this reason, you should look for a stony peaks biome to mine these ores. Stony peaks are found in warmer biomes, such as savannas and jungles. *COPPER:* 1. Dripstone caves contain twice as much copper as other biomes, so they are _the key_ to getting a ton of copper. *GOLD:* 1. Badlands biomes above Y=32 contain an absurd amount of gold. *LAPIS:* 1. You will find the most lapis ore at the transition between stone and deepslate.

I know the Hermits don't play modded Minecraft, but Mumbo's gushing over underwater mining is exactly why I love the Origins mod. I love being a Fish. Sure, I don't get to go to the Nether, and thus the End without a lot of help, but living underwater is just so much fun. I kinda want one of the Hermits to make an underwater base with Conduits to get that fishy feel.

"i have found myself underwater *almost dies* AHHH, and then almost underground!" that is the most hilarious line ever

I hate dying with my best stuff. Big tip is having a recovery compass. But even if you don't have it. Just look up the recipe. It'll point to where to would actually be in the crafting table! Just have to break the crafting table and bring it each time.

15:18 You're meant to use MiniHUD to have your coordinates visible at all times, so that when you die, you can note your location before respawning.

The fact that he went so far just to get all of those resources means that the other hermits are gonna have a hard time trying to get resources

Recovery compass exists Mumbo: I am just gonna search my stuff by memory

Videos like this take me back to 2012 watching Minecraft let's plays where the episodes were literally just mining commentary. I miss them dearly, thanks for the throwback, even if it was unintentional

Hardcore RU-vidrs: “so I did some off-screen mining…” 19:38

Grain: I'm the king of the sea Mumbo: Hold my beacon

P.S. mumbo, in an armor set the chestplate does a LOT more work than you might think. It's up to about half as much damage taken with the chestplate on. So getting a chestplate to swap to when you're in a cave will make you much tankier.

mumbo i think you might be going insane

9:20 welcome to the club!

I appreciate you grouping the exposed shots together so it's not flashing back and forth

I love how simple Mumbo’s episodes appear to be. There is nothing groundbreaking. No pvp challenges. He’s just… mining. And yet, the delivery of said content is superbly done. I was entertained every moment. The pacing, edits, comedic timing… all masterful. THIS is the Mumbo we all grew to love! ❤️

5:02 Mumbo, you got it the wrong way around! Diamonds are *less* likely to spawn when exposed to air! That's why underwater caves are so generous and why you should also try to clear out sculk and moss layers to expose more rock

7:47 Mumbo casually mining one of the rarest diamond blocks

9:19 mumbo: “i swear i might be turning into a fish” fanartist: 😼😼

I love it! 16:00 a recovery compass would help in that situation!

At 18:23 you can see the baked potato that Grian sent him. I just thought I’d point it out because he didn’t and I found it hilarious!

I am loving the pace you're playing at this season. I really do appreciate that you're not jumping right into a massive build. Literally old school Minecraft with friends type gameplay

Everyone else on april fools day: Minecraft VR. Potato update Mumbo: MINING

1:55 ive said that for years! Im known as the water witch whenever we play minecraft, and its cause of this! Less mobs, you can reach the ceiling, no fall damage, if you have enchantments youre fine, and no one else ever goes underwater so its easy pickings!

Mining is STILL my favorite part of the game! Can’t wait for the trial chambers to release as it would be like finding a mini adventure while mining!

thank you for increasing the exposure mumbo!! makes it so so much better to watch!

genuinely the most riveted ive been to a mumbo video (no shade), the twists! the drama! the plotline! incredible watch

This makes me want to build a base deep inside a water cave. Imagine drinking water breathing potion or just going in with Respiration 3 and stopping in small pit stops with some light, food and a small book shelf where you breath again and refresh. Then continue to the hidden base. A nice, relaxing 5 minute journey. Bonus if there's a custom ambient music playing in juke box.

Night vision potions are highly recommended when lighting up the caves is optional (i.e. not near mob grinders). You'd be surprised how easy it is to miss diamonds on dark ceilings, especially if you play without zoom.

Mumbo: Just kidding, I won't actually mine scar's ore tower. Grian and gem: IT WAS THE SNAILS!!!

Also, maybe build a doc style tunnel bore

water-filled caverns are the best for ore mining for two reasons: 1. no hostile mobs (unless you're in a dripstone cave, in which drowned spawn) 2. the generation of ores is such that it avoids generating ores exposed to the surface/air. so in regular caves you wont see as many ores. but water is not considered surface/air. so there's tons of ores easy to spot and mine in water-filled caves. a few weeks ago in my SP world I went mining in water filled caverns under the ocean, and using silk touch, and only spending a couple of hours down there, I got over a stack of diamond ore blocks. also I reccomend using night vision potions while you do so, makes the water a lot clearer and brighter, and you can spot ores from further away

This is one of my favorite episodes of the season so far. Mining has always been tedious for me but seeing Mumbo do 12 hours of it gave me the itch to load into my own save and start mining!

Strategy: find someone with a wood shop, make your prices slightly higher than his for the item frame shop. And then make a cow farm for leather and sell at a huge profit and minimal work.

10:12 noooooo, not the stone diamonds! Silktouch it mumbo

In terms of diamonds, this mining session was 11% more successful than the equivalent one in Season 7, although it was way worse for redstone and coal

Mining for 12 hours is rookie numbers compared to Scar’s mountain. But Grian is going to need your help if he wants to make a bigger one than Scar.

"I had a stack of Diamonds on me." **Annoyed Mickey Mouse Noise** Very Chuffly Episode, even with it's Chobblesome bits.

I love seeing more gimmicky episodes on hermit craft, it’s a style of mumbo content that I’ve always really enjoyed.

12:48 "My only goal is to get diamonds" Bro became camman18 for a second

make a new horn sound 13:50 "and i had a stack of diamonds on me! Ah~!"

Mumbo:being happy about his finds Scar: *laughing in the corner*

“Twelve hours of mining is over” *alarm for me to get ready for work goes off* wow good timing mumbo!

Mumbo, that is a really missed opportunity. How could you not name the title "Hermitcraft 10 Episode 10" SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY

either there's going to be another ore tower war, or mumbo is going to make another vault

I always love to keep server playlists on, it’s not only calming but the progression that unfolds over the first few episodes.

loving your new video format, love the title cards and the info on screen when you brighten in post, love it!

Mining red stone underwater is like a flashbang holy

Mumbo you can still find your stuff if you craft a DEATH FINDER COMPASS (i forgot the exact name) but its a compass that points to your last death location

Mumbo truly is a youtuber of personality. Never thought I would enjoy seeing a montage of 12h of mining but this was a fun listen along type of thing. The video itself wasn't the main point I guess. Rather the audio

"the sun has just come out" - Mumbo, at what time do you start playing??? that was said 7 hours in was that an all-nighter???🤣

Fun fact about water caves : Diamonds are programmed to generate way less when one or more sides are exposed to air . But water doesen't count so there's actually more diamonds in water caves

Mumbo Jumbo last episode: I'm not poor, I'm taking it slow!! Mumbo Jumbo this episode:

16:08 the new compass that points to the position of you last death could of came in handy. not sure if any hermit has one

That feeling of getting blown away by the sheer _scale_ of the caves has been a familiar feeling for me since _Caves & Cliffs._ So yeah, I _get it,_ my dude.

Mumbo and Scar need to have an official competition to find who is the richest hermit, I swear they both claim to be it every season lol

17:32 That creeper blowing up the diamonds hurt my soul.

Video creators: I need to do some offscreen mining. Mumbo: Then I'm going to make a whole episode about mining. You are naturally chaotic, Mumbo. A wild card of functional society.

Keralis calling Mumbo MJ is honestly the funniest part of the video😂😂

Haha mumbo thought he could brush off the fact, but we all saw the tower of shame in 17:05

7:47 No way he did that! He mined the stone diamond ore with fortune!!! Mumbo!!!!

Now we need a custom painting added of Grian fishing up Mumbo who has different resources just spilling out of his pockets

Hey Mambo for future videos, I recommend going to the nether getting some nether wart and blaze rods, wrapping a carrot in gold, I can't remember if Redstone is for power or length but *Brew yourself a few **_Night Vision_** potions.*

8:55 the sun's just come out and your 7 hours into the challenge? Mumbo, what is your sleep schedule like...

8:30 IDK Mumbo, I'm pretty sure that by the time Scar takes down Ore Mountain, it'll be half as wide, and riddled with caves.

Another good thing about underwater mining: Veins and diamonds especially don’t count as exposed, since there’s no air, meaning that veins are bigger and more common

Mumbo: “this is NOT the time mate NOT the time at all” *casually pulls out sword as the clip ends*

16:21 You also could’ve brought a recovery compass with you

Mumbo Mate.... I think you've finally gone crazy xD all that time around Grian and Scar has really gotten to you now..

Turns out the key to becoming the richest Hermit is mining like a madman! You'll have to compare to Scar when he finally gets around to mining his Ore Mountain 2.0 and see just how much of his several weeks you belted out in 12 hours.

the underwater caves are in fact the most op source for diamonds, I have been abusing that feature since 1.18 came out. They don't spawn enemies and the limited diamond ore spawn rate when in contact with air does not come into play either

13:40 Mumbo, there is an item in minecraft specifically added for issues such as this xD

Small thing I love abkut Mumbo is how he explains what he did to increases the light. The little text saying he increased exposure by 2 stops is just kinda neat and as someone into cameras, i love little things like that

"Before you all punch me in the face".. LOL Every Hermit has made the joke about that rather massive mountain of ore!! :D

"OH NO.... Extra pants!" is, by far, the funniest thing I've ever heard on RU-vid.
