Minecraft Hermitcraft :: Bamboo Alley 

In the spirit of learning about bamboo, the sword is actually the correct tool to break bamboo. That's also probably why you're seeing extra durability loss on your axe. **Edit** As noted below, it's actually not causing extra damage to the axe, but it will cause 2 points of damage per break to a sword. The best solution is to just use a piston + slime blocks to insta-break them for free.

What’s the scariest alley in the city? BamBOO! Alley!

24:10 This is Bdubs doing 'bland'? Me, an aspiring builder: cries little square tears

Bdubs explains his Minecraft builds like an architect talks about their irl buildings and I love it.

" And they will be free." ~ Bdoubs "FREE! DID I SAY FREE! THEY WILL NOT BE FREE" ~ Bdoubs

now you just need to advertise your bamboo using that bone meal trick and you can be like "our bamboo" beside a stalk of leafy decorative bamboo next to "the competitors' bamboo" beside a stalk of leafless boring bamboo to show how well nurtured and hearty your bamboo is

I got so teary-eyed hearing how much deeper Ari’s voice is now as opposed to five years ago

16:44 Rare footage of pillagers admiring a building process.

I think it's awesome that the last three letters of "Bamboo" are BdoubleO

Can someone stop this madman? This really is getting out of hand on how much his builds are beautiful!

the podzol under the roof of the brick building is absolute GENIUS

Everyone: pile of barrels as a starter shop, Bdubz: art piece

Definitely needs a bamboo boat dealership right there on the river behind the alley. Can anyone else see BDubs in a bamboo patterned suit selling like a used car dealer?

Dear Bdubs If you wall 2 blocks thick, people can use blocks as graffiti instead of making custom wallpapers/paintings

"They will not be free. They will be very expensive" 😂😂😂 Also, way to throw down the gauntlet for other shops in the area.

i’d love to see Bdubs have a nighttime arc, where he discovers his love for nighttime and its beautiful lighting. Bdubs then goes on a journey of mastering his nighttime lighting skills, and turning his builds into beautiful pieces of nocturnal art, he no longer is scared of the dark, and doesn’t need to carry a bed with him everywhere he goes. Bdubs has less stress in his life, is happier and we get to benefit from seeing his beautiful storytelling in a twilight sense instead of in the daytime >>>>

You should sell bundles of 12 bamboo, priceless!

that last shot of the video is so FREAKIN gorgeous. bdubs videos are scrumptious to the eyeballs always. i can't wait to see the cursed graffiti this server is gonna come up with.

You know that Bdubs knows how to build when he places the door 3 blocks above the ground. The awesome stair makes all the different from a ordinary house to a super cool house.

The Mosaic and Bamboo signs are clever, never thought to use them like that! ⭐ Thought: Get some Glow Ink from Joel & hit those signs, maybe skip a letter like the light bulb burned out, to boost the dystopian cyberpunk feel.

Shop idea: s 1. Set up auto crafter for crafting scaffoldings and let hermits have access to it. 2. Sell string and bamboo together in a bundle. 3. Make a sign that says "please do NOT temporarily put your bamboo and string to the auto crafter or they'll turn into scaffoldings, which i don't have permit for selling

Other people; I’m gonna sell everything out of this one box shaped shop. Bdubs; how many shops can I build, just to sell bamboo… you keep amazing, mr Double Oh.

In your quest for a graffitti look, you can start with psquare patches of grey concrete with occasional strokes of random color peeking through. Like the city painted over it with grey paint, an ongoing battle between the forces of anarchy and control.

14:02 - I love when Bdubs' editor breaks in.

Ooh... funny fact about cyberpunk; the most common settings are visually based on Hong Kong and Tokyo - both very hilly places. London and LA are also common settings, although they're far more flat. Point being; even if you flatten the area, it's still good to keep a mountain in the background. Hong Kong used to be far more hilly, but as they flattened it out they dumped the material into the harbour to make reclaimed land. When I used to live in HK they had just finished most of these projects, and they used to joke that Hong Kong "pushed their mountains into the sea so they could build on both". Anyway point being; if the theme is Cyberpunk, don't feel too pressured to keep it flat.

That was a great misdirect 1:50 making us think you were going to strip the copper but instead murdered the cats. Only a monster would do that to someone's copper.

I love how Bdubs has to clarify that the prices will, of course, be expensive. Squeeze the hermits for every drop!

Watching Bdubs build with that soft piano music in the background is healing for the soul.

I swear whenever Bdubs builds, its like watching an artist paint, slowly and meticulously choosing each color, each block, and each piece to place onto the canvas.

I love how Bdubs basically became a head honcho with yesmen at his beck and call when Ari came in. “Do you agree with me? Yes you do? Thank you, you’re dismissed”

Who on earth comes up with the idea of putting podzol as an accent into a mud-gradient building? That's gotta be some visionary stuff.

Bdubs: Can I get the permit to sell scaffolding? Grian: Please hold.

20:05 that’s right! Stairs do have a lot of steps!

Oh wait until Grian sees THIS building. He's going to fanboy over it soo much

Bdubs manages to incorporate podzol and netherrack in a house and he makes it fit?? There is no stop to this guy.

Bdubs, I recently went back and watched your videos from when you lost your daughter. I’m still so sorry you and your family went through that, and I wanted to say thank you for continuing to share your joy with us :) my life has changed ten times over since I met you on the B-Team server and I’m so grateful you’ve stood beside us all through all our lives

every time I see bdubs do something he cuts off like harvesting all that bamboo and building the wall, I get reminded of early season Ren and others spying on bdubs while he was levelling a mountain without a beacon or enchanted tools and one of them said "how does he get anything done in this series" because it took him so long. First of all, I get admiration towards bdubs for the amount of effort he puts in and how hardworking he is but also I think "how the heck does he get anything done without a beacon or enchants"

Everytime I see a bdubs build, I fall in love with the game all over again.

Bdus, if nobody has pointed out, I just want to let you know that your editing matches your building and detailing, is gourgeous. And your rasping/old voice is soothing, like when your grandpa is telling you a story

Can’t say it enough: the cinematic shots in this season’s videos are so attractive and creative. The fish floating in the foreground, the sun dipping to the horizon. Beautiful. 7:49

Bdubs always has some of the best building tips. Grian and Scar are great, but Bdubs always comes up with the best little tricks you'd never think of. That bamboo trick is much better than just having bamboo growing normally for a scenery.

With the way that wall is constructed, it is evident that it wasn't made to keep stuff out, it was made to keep stuff in! 😳

Doc: "They will all *PAY* for making me dig sand!" The Hermits: "Yeah, Doc is on some kind of revenge spree, don't really know what for though."

Love how Bdubs’ building music is like, the sweetest and sentimental music you’ve ever heard, and you’re watching some guy who looks like :D slapping blocks down

Man, i didnt even realize how much i missed a redstone with bdubs segment. souch a treat!!

I love what you did with the podzol under the deepslate roof, it took me a minute to realize the building was flush with the roof. You are an artist and a genius

i absolutely LOVE the graffiti idea!! it's gonna look so cool i can only imagine

I really like the grey wall with graffiti vibes! It reminds me of the berlin wall (in a good dystopian aesthetic way.)

I think glow ink on the mosaic sign would help it pop even more and since it’s a premium product I’m guessing you want it to be as eye catching as possible to promote business

A lot of hermits I just watch on the side (mostly just listening) while I play minecraft myself, but some hermits (including Bdubs) make such beautiful videos that it feels wrong to just listen, I want to give it all my attention.

I adore the shot of the pillagers chilling with their crossbows drawn and watching Bdubs build

If I’m not mistaken Bdubs, scaffolding should fall under the bamboo blocks. Especially if you get to sell all bamboo items

great sunday entertainment!

14:30 and that what makes Bdubs a master builder, others would just put few bamboo here and there as decoration and maybe use string to cut the heights, bdubs curates each segment to decorate exactly as he wants

I think Bdubs needs to be in control of the shopping area aesthetic

I'm hoping the city will start to look like Kowloon Walled City. Joel's corner already has that vibe a little bit, with his horrifically narrow alleys.

The walled city reminded me of Kowloon walled city, which used to be inside Honk Kong. It was basically a small city inside the city. Kowloon is one of the most insane looking city structures that I've ever seen and at one point it was the most densely populated spot in the world.

What makes your heart melt? Me: 23:50

Definitely missed the opportunity to call the shop "Bam B Double O's"

Helpful tip: Preferred tool for chopping bamboo is the sword, so using the axe costs 2 durability when breaking instead of 1.

Using the inbuilt gradient of the podzol near the top of the mosaic building is unbelievable

Ah yes, the FREE bamboo. It's gonna be great.

Love that your version of the time lapse is a slow lapse! It’s so calming and peaceful

you dont need the bamboo farm near your shop, but you could have a chest on the roof, where you just drop bamboo, and then inside you would have autocrafters doing the work and stocking the chests. PERFECT REDSTONE

Bdubs: The building will be plain. HUH?

Dock and dubs are easily the two most technically advanced builders on the server with doc have the edge with red stone and dubs having to edge in style

By far the best looking shop in the shopping district

Create a competition to all hermits, the best wall grafitti/design wins

perfect timing for a Bdub Cinematic Experience

I love our favorite little shopkeepers style! The small details you put in make a big difference. Even the tiniest of things go a long way. No shortsightedness from Bdubs

The cinematic long shots of building are just so good. Such a unique touch.

I love the storytelling of these videos. Especially the scenes with just the music with the third person cam telling a story

That last frame with the shaders and the music really took me by surprise. It feels so nostalgic and beautiful.

Farms will definitely help you a lot with producing bamboo products, especially if you can set up auto crafters to automatically create all of the unique products.

Love the design for your shop. Tell Etho about the wall. Etho has done a lot of pixel art over the years.

bdubs is the picasso of minecraft. there will truly never be someone as good as he is. other people place blocks while he paints them

The wife said "Look, they have gas, SUPERIOR!" Bdubs "Its Broken." Hahahahahha!!!

i love how cinematic the videos are, i wish more youtubers made videos like bdubs

Bamboo is such a perfect block for bdubs. It's green, there's Redstone involved, and it's really easy to get 😁 BAM (BOO)

The idea with the graffiti wall is amazing. I would be like r/place

13:10 It doesn't, it just feels like much because you are using it often in a shot amount of time. Let's say you have a 20x20 patch of Bamboo (which is fairly small) that's already 400 uses (minus Unbreaking) on your axe. For woord this would be like 60-ish small oak trees, which would take a lot longer to chop. This is one of the reason why people often build flying machine farms. Not only is it afkable, but also better to collect with hopper minecarts (since walking is a pain between the one high stems) and it safes a lot of durability on tools.

You could make "Shulker Box deals" if you strike a deal with Beef/Doc and make a bamboo shulker full of all the goodies if single items don't sell well!

Using dirt and podzol for the wall is genius

That bamboo trick is a game changer I can't wait to try it myself

The wall was a good idea; hermits can come texture and graffiti it as they like to add character. But your shop looks PHENOMENAL!! Man, you hit that out of the park!

Bros builds always slap

it'd be perfect to have a "free scaffolding crafting machine" out front for that extra marketing 😁😁

your videos are pieces of art it feels illegal to watch for free

Maybe put a heavily fortified ghost in the shell style checkpoint at joels torii gate. It would tie the two areas together by justifying the different styles: the old traditional stuff is locked off from the dystopian society dwelling below...

BdoubleO100! For the BAMBOO shop, you can sell all bamboo related items right? Well..... you can make "bamboo" sticks! Then maybe "bamboo" bows? "bamboo" dispensers!? or item frames, tools, rails torches, EVERY single type of fence and fence gate! Arrows, signs banners! Chests, shulker boxes and so much more! And all of that is completely legal since you can sell ALL the bamboo related items lol!

Just gor the best slogan ever: Super sale on lightly used scaffolding - no strings attached

1:42 perfectly cut to not let Bdub's intrusive thoughts win. 😂😂😂

The graffity wall idea is brilliant! You've got the mind of an artist! Irl people might want to do some graffity but feel like they shouldn't do it or are afraid of doing it because it's not allowed everywhere etc. So having the opportunity of doing it in Minecraft is beautiful i think.

you know what would make this wall even more city like? If you would put lanterns on top of the wall. Love the idea of the graffitis. Reminds me of the Berlin Wall. Its a very similar concept and its amazing

I really REALLY love the editing style Bdubs is doing with the kind of B roll footage cut in, such as the shots from far away as he’s just walking somewhere. It feels so cinematic and also really relaxing

Another thing you can add to the scaffolding test would be to have them go back up. A lot of times you need to go up and down multiple times when building. With dirt you have to pillar back up to get to the same spot when with scaffolding you can leave it and travel on it.

The walls are going to turn into r/BdubsPlace I'm calling it now

A Bamboo Valley to Remember

You should make your shop easy to restock. You can bring in just shuckers of bamboo blocks and have autocrafyers auto-stock every derivative bamboo item. You would only need shuckers of bamboo and bamboo blocks. You could also make an auto crafter for the scaffolding as a free service included with a bundle purchase of string and bamboo

The pillagers aiming at bdubs looks like he's forced to make the bamboo shop lol
