I Watched EVERY Trending Video to answer this question. 

Thanks for the kind words mate, very unexpected to see myself on here! 😅

As a fan of Ludwig and hermitcraft I was never expecting anything with those 2 together I was so shocked to see Ludwig discover hermitcraft and then see his chat hype up all the members

It's easy to peek into the reality where Ludwig, Grian and MumboJumbo have a podcast..

I love how the hermitcraft video he stumbles upon is the most out of context most random not typical hermitcraft thing ever lol even though hermitcraft hits trending constantly (at least for me, idk how different it shows up for people)

If y’all don’t know, the “ban” is just a stream suspension. He’s not banned for any period of time. He could go live again immediately. RU-vid just force ends the stream.

yohoho I'm liking the sound of that castle

The madman goes to so much dedication for these projects. He got himself banned on purpose. Props to lud

I love moments like when ludwig discovered hermitcraft through scar cuz it’s like this weird timeline right? But it also makes me think of the multiverse. There’s a timeline where this didn’t happen and I feel like we got the one where it did bc a timeline such as this just needed to exist

used to watch hermitcraft in my middle school days can confidently say there is definitely 5000+ episodes across all the seasons by all the creators each video at ranging 10-30 minutes sometimes more

Ludwig discovering hermitcraft just gave me so much serotonin because I went through the exact same thought process and now love it so much!

this video is great, it would be a shame if the person who made it got banned while streaming

ludwig finding out about the concept of minecraft SMPs, outside of dream SMP, through hermitcraft and good times with scar is not something i expected to watch today, but i enjoy it nonetheless

As someone who is both caught up with hermitcraft and one piece, I can safely say they are somewhat comparable but hermitcraft has a lower barrier to entry because the seasons are server resets It's less roleplay-y than the Dream SMP though

I didn't expect to see Scar in this video, but his appearance was a welcome one HermitCraft is amazing. I'm watching 16 of the hermits and patiently waiting for each of them to drop the next episode. There's a lot of fun, wholesomeness and impressive builds, redstone (mumbo (fun, quippy British man), tango (the creator of Decked Out, full dungeon crawler type game made fully with redstone, no mods), impulse (does redstone but also builds massive beautiful structures incredibly fast, it takes him ab episode to build as much as it takes 5 episodes for some of the hermits), doc (german madman, made a perimeter (giant square whole in the world down to bedrock, for farms and shit) this season, for the first time in history of hermitcraft), iskall (swedish funny guy, let's leave it at that😂), cubfan (just very call, down to earth, lover of chaos)), beauty (scar (I've seen the clip, he's also hot guy ("hawk eye")), grian (shenanigans and building), bdouble0 (just watch him, please), keralis (more of an industrial/moder-style builder but still impressive and can build in other styles as well, that one's just seems more prevalent), pearlescent moon (quirky Aussie who weirdly likes garbage this season), Gemini Tay (distinct build style as well, very nice and seems more fantasy themed)), everything at once kinda (etho (can't explain this man), xisumavoid (calm, collected, can do anything), rendog (businessman/king (not the schlatt kind of businessman tho😂)) (There's more of them, but that's the ones i watch and categorization is very subjective and loose here, cuz they all can create beautiful builds and can do some redstone as well if needed, it's just so it could be easier for you to find someone who is closer to you with your tastes. There's also (front he top of my head) ZombieCleo (from what I know, very very good with creating art with armorstands), falesymmetry (beanz), iJevin, JoeHills (very charismatic and lively, helps out the community a lot from what I know, but he just posts his livestream vods as episodes, not my cup of tea sadly), xbCrafted (friend of Keralis, that's all I know, sorry😅) and some more, but I'm blanking on the names). It's a lot. But it's never not fun and is very nice to just sit and chill to. Yeeee......

Lud definitely faked that ban, pulled up the image and disconnected his PC

I’m so happy Wendigoon appeared on trending. I love his videos and he’s such a genuine great guy.

Ahh, welcome to Hermitcraft rabbit hole lol. I started watching from season 6, because it was the year Grian joined and boy did he revolutionized hermitcraft content. He started a lot of serverwide events and is actually entertaining! Me personally, would recommend Grian, MumboJumbo, Iskall85 and GoodTimesWithScar

“has inflation stopped?” LMAO

No way this guy timed his livestream ban with the upload of a new video. Genius

wasn't expecting to see myself, but I'm not gonna complain

watching ludwig discover hermitcraft was so funny for a long time hermitcraft fan

Catching up with all of hermitcraft would take at least 10 times longer than watching all of one piece

The amount of people in chat saying "xsumavoid made it" when lud discovers hermitcraft is astounding

Was not expecting hermitcraft, but Ludwig watching hermitcraft recap would be actually hilarious

1:12 not yet, but maybe with Bailey Zappe?

Just came from the live, you’re a real one for testing this theory 💯

as a hermit craft watcher, i think it'd be faster to watch one pice 5 times than it would be to watch all seasons of hermit craft with every pov

the corperate up beat jingle at 2:31 made me spit out my choco milk- nicely done

18:46 how dare you, it is better.. it is greater... IT IS THE GOD OF ALL SMPs. dont bring it down to the level of dream's smp

He has some serious balls to watch ever single trending videos.

I’d love to see a Ludwig/ Good Good collab sometime in the future. Gotta get Lud into golf ASAP. He already likes mini golf, gotta go one step further

Hermitcraft has been around almost as long as Minecraft itself. Mindcrack set the standard for SMPs early on, but Hermitcraft is what serialized them as content creation machines and made them a popular format. So more accurately, DreamSMP is like Hermitcraft. Also, to correct the chat, it wasn't created by Xisumavoid, it was created by GenerikB. Xisuma is the server admin and has been since GennyB left at the end of Season 1.

RCE and Andrew deserve trending. 10/10 content

Kara and Nate are such great content creators. Legit traveling the world and just sharing the experience. My girlfriend and I watch them religiously and they never disappoint.

I wish I got into hermitcraft earlier. It's so fascinating to me because, as far as I can tell from the name,they're relics of the 1st minecraft wave! I was into some of the big german minecraft projects like shine and galaxy at the time but I never dove into the english projects of the time! Man I kinda miss that time tbh, I haven't watched the dsmp in ages so for me peak minecraft is still propably shine 1. To explain, there were a lot of these what at least we germans called Minecraft Projects. They'd all have their own mod packs and the creators invited a ton of youtubers to start playing, they all built up their own stuff and interacted from time to time and would even weave little tales around their rivalries, but it was mostly just a modded smp. There were no set storylines, just 100s of ppl building their houses and messing around with the mods until they got bored or the project got closed. I believe hermitcraft to work just like that, but I never got into english speaking mcyt until the new wave beyond popularmmos, because I was a child.

POV: Your watching Lud trying to avoid a Ban right after he did a Ban speedrun

Ludwig: *watches trending videos* RU-vid: "now this is some trendy content"

This guy makes the best content. Can't wait to watch his next stream!

I've never been so happy to see someone banned

Someone in chat said "it's trash" , when Scar came up. Scar is such a sweetheart,wtf

I'm so happy wendigoon is getting the exposure he deserves!

Episodes of One Piece: 1,043 Episodes of Hermitcraft: *17,336*

No way, Lud got so tired of not getting banned he just pulled up a PNG of "streamed banned" and unplugged his PC That was so fake, you know not everybody has their youtube on English right? RUN IT BACK LUD

Casted away by his own decision, he remains motivated to show the world he can still go on

You don't need to start at the beginning of hermitcraft 10 years ago to understand, just start at the beginning of the new season. It's an smp just like any other, happens to be 2nd most popular. Lots of great hermits.

I unironically watch hermitcraft and it't honestly pretty good and at least one person is going to have a personality you like because there's so many of them. Before I would tell you that their content is great to watch regardless if you like minecraft or not but they've been recently been dipping into "lore content" more because of the rise of the dsmp and I feel like that has a specific audience. I'm starting to feel a little alienated because I just want to watch people show off their incredible talent in block game and mess around with friends but oh well, times are changing. P.S. I'm not hating on the type of content I know why people like it and even watched the early days of the dsmp, around the time l'manburg was created and I enjoyed it. I just wish that it was easier to find content in the minecraft space like the old chill let's play videos that don't have screaming and sound effects every second or even more groups like season 5-7 hermitcraft.

I can imagine the sheer confusion of seeing that one Scar episode with no context- I swear, it's not usually like this.

Wow this dude posted and linked a video the moment he got banned. He's an actual genius

On the topic of Hermitcraft, I remember a while back Ludwig showed a screenshot of his RU-vid analytics (I think he was just showing numbers and revenue at the time) that showed something like a 35% overlap of viewers with one of the Hermits. The Hermitcraft to Ludwig pipeline remains strong

The blackpink crossover wasn’t something I knew I needed, but omggggg

Turns on ghost radar: "2 matches: The girl you met at the party The HR guy you spoke to last month" Oh, that's the ghosting radar

Lol in the beginning the chat... so many people wrong about "Xisumavoid created Hermitcraft" xD FYI: Hermitcraft was originally created by Generikb. Xisuma only took over Server Administration and such after Generikb left it and Xisuma and some of the other "founding Members" kept going with a new season.

LETS GO LUD I BELIVED IN YOU

For the people in the comments, if you want to get into Hermitcraft I recommend Etho's season 7 series. A relatively tight 37 episodes, good editing with noteblock music made by himself, original builds and cool redstone stuff.

“still no polar bears” as they’re on an ICE BREAKER cruise 😂

Imagine if this leads to a Ludwig & Hermitcraft collab

Ludwig never fails at entertaining us ❤️

I hope that Ludwig can get one of the hermits on stream so they could explain everything to him 😭 he was so confused and what an episode to watch first.

it would be a shame if someone as talented as lud got banned

1:05 No, Ludwig. Things aren't going well; you got banned in a minute and a half. Congrats on sub 2 minute speedrun tho. Man really just risked his career for a video

7:45 , you really need to look into these fellow youtubers more. They find missing people and help the loved ones find closure , they've found multiple, multiple people. And its absolutely amazing what they're doing. No one else compares. Good content for mogul mail too.

Baned

HE DID IT!!!

hermitcraft is a minecraft smp with family friendly creators that has been running for a decade. it has grown into a big brand with really cool and imo inclusive creators. the creators oftentimes gather together to stream for charities. the one you watched is goodtimeswithscar, he is a disabled content creator, has it physically really rough, but is an absolute beacon of light and creativity. his minecraft creations are always grandiose! even as an adult i enjoy watching these folk play games, make really cool stuff in minecraft. it's a really good time to just escape from real life if you need to destress! the work the creators put in is always impressive and are open about how they create their stuff, and if you are a creative in general, it's nifty to just watch and perhaps pick up their advice or their methods how they go about stuff

18:53 im saying this as a one month hermitcraft fan HE IS NOT LYING😭

Ludwig watching Scar are just 2 parallel universes colliding

Hey the lore of each season is completely indepoendent, so it's okay if you watch the later seasons before you watch earlier seasons!

ludwig trys to find the formula for trending vids, and makes a trending vid

for the OSRS its Raids 3 (3rd Raid added in the game), TOA = Tomb of Amascut (Name of the 3rd Raid AKA the one they're doing in the video) Purple = When a RARE item drops the chest is highlighted Purple, so its basically just saying they got a rare drop in the video.

Andrew Camarata has been blowing up; “The ATV and Bulldozer Repairs” video. His channel is freaking awesome. I’ve been watching him for years even though I have zero experience with heavy equipment, I find his stuff fascinating. He’s known for having some of the funniest random one-liners and repairing things in a unique way that also can be pretty funny. I can totally see why he’s trending with the success he’s had lately. It might be one of the few videos that made it to that list genuinely instead of being curated by RU-vid.

"The MrBeastification of RU-vid" was a great video and I think this video shows it well.

1:12 @Ludwig definitely not lol 😂

I like how Lud’s impression of a newscaster still sounded like a RU-vidr

ludwig finding out about hermitcraft is so fucking funny to me. it truly is a rabbit hole. he should check out some of doc’s redstone stuff sometime, thats always a good way to make your brain explode

Just saying wendigoon is goated asf and the dudes grown so fast I swear like a year ago if that dude was at 20k subs and now he's at almost 2 mil and it's crazy watching him grow so much in real time and I loved his conspiracy tier list and his iceberg videos def deserves to be on the home page

It’s so weird to see all the sides of youtube i watch converge on Ludwig’s page. Hermit craft, RCE, and so many other channels i never thought id see lud watch.

The thing about hermitcraft is, it isnt scripted or story based, its kinda just people vibing on a server doing stuff, some people are more story based others arent

Verb: Raids 3 TOA (Purple) - common tongue explanation: 3rd raids dungeon has been released called Tombs of Amascat. Purple indicates a rare item was dropped, one of the special items.

The patriots did in fact not learn how to win with Mac jones

As a Patriots fan myself, I'm sad to report that the Patriots have only gotten worse at trying to succeed with Mac Jones

4:21 that first youtube vid on the side bar is pretty nice

Inflation has not gone down please help Ludwig

Ludwig enjoying RCE has to be my highlight of the day

i like how the entire first video was just about blowing up a floaty and putting their dog on it

The RuneScape video. “Raids 3” is the most recent raid to come to RuneScape and the name of it is “Tombs of Amazcut” or “Toa” for short. The RU-vidr has purple at the end because that is the color of the chest when you get a unique item to the raid.

17:41 It's wonderful that Hermitcraft was mentioned here.

Lol 50 yr old man who has a ton of unfinished house projects because he doesn't follow through and watches people on youtube living the life he wishes he has is a very accurate description of my dad.

As someone in the future, inflation hasn’t stopped and the Pats sure as HELL have not figured out how to win at all 😂😂

“Has inflation stopped” - Ludwig 2022 We all wish 😢

The Destiny 2 build video was the crossover i didn't know I needed

Minecraft guy hooked me immediately. Went straight to the "biggest in minecraft" video lmao.

The Patriots have not in fact figured out how to win with Mac Jones

Can't believe Ludwig straight up yoinked the "Hoooly" thing from Pyrocynical. Madge identification.

I’m glad ludwig has discovered hermitcraft

I find it so funny that he has hermit craft members on his channel banner but had no idea who they were until now

Just wait until ludwig learns about Hermitcraft's predecessor, Mindrack.

Hermitcraft being described as Dream smp before dream smp hurts my soul... the people on hermitcraft are insanely talented, lud should fr watch like an episode or something

The hero banner actually fooled me that this was a top 50 trending video. Word for the wise

The moment Ludwig started talking like a RU-vidr, I got an ad and my wifi went out. I think that just about describes my RU-vid experience.

5:26 I lost it at the CaseyNeistat impression hahaha
