Minecraft Noobs React to Grian 

Fun fact, one of you guys mentioned "you're literally a project planner", grian actually did plan his irl house design in Minecraft and used it to explain to the engineer and architect he contracted

the thing is that building in minecraft is not even that hard, the hard part is the ideas and getting to start the projects

Can't believe you reacted to grian and only went over his bases, and not any of his pranks. While yes, he's a phenomenal builder, but literally every war since he joined was caused because he was bored.

4 stacks of a building block sometimes isn't enough and i doubt its even enough for a starter for the hermits

Gotta get them to watch Grian’s “afk on hermitcraft” vid

Just saying this. I was born on July 31, 1970. So yes, this 51 yo and his 49 yo brother get together often to watch Hermitcraft. So yeah some of us 50 yo's aren't as clueless as you may think. Lol

You know, I do enjoy your reactions, but a little bit of prior research before doing them wouldnt hurt. Grian started the EVO SMP alongside Pearlescentmoon and SolidarityGames and others a long time before joining hermicraft. He did stuff in creative but he also played in survival.

No eating Jelli ( that is the name of Scars cat) lol

Spoiler alert: most hermits are way above 30 and 40. They do this for a living

This was season 7 LOL not season 2

they build this in creative and most likly use a limatica mod to build it in survival.

Also Grian was the one that came up with the whole upside down in the nether deal. 10/10 concept

doc definitely needs to be up next !!! with him breaking minecraft and his builds are also insane too

''these are young kids, creating true art'' it is art, true - but Grian is 28 and most of the rest are in their 30's and 40's. The only one who might qualify as a kids is xB Crafted - born in 2000 - but even that isn't confirmed by him or anyone he knows.

Shout out to Mumbo's favorite neighbor, not only a great builder but he is great fun too his mischievous shenanigans are always on point

Grian, the Dreamslayer, the man, the myth, the legend

16:52 "i need to show a 50 year old person this" who's gonna tell them how old TinFoilChef is LMAO

20:00 You want a guy who just flies around Hermitcraft looking at things, a bit of a builder but mostly just constantly supporting their fellow hermits, showcasing their skills as Minecraft players but also as videomakers? Look no further than Joe Hills (recording as he always does from Nashville, Tennessee), who joined in the first ever season way back in 2012 and was also the original New Guy (a.k.a not a founding member). He's been a weird little delight ever since! Also you mentioned the HCRecap, and it would be so cool to see you guys react to a couple episodes of that! Season starts are always great Recap episodes ^^

Needs me some BDoubleO100 reactions. He’s such a fantastic builder.

Grian is cracked man but y’all need to watch docm77 next, he’s the one who breaks the game most the time and is veteran player

While this was a nice showcase of Grian's builds, there's so much more to what he does on Hermitcraft. He's orchestrated several of my favorite pranks and server-wide events. He's funny in collab videos regardless of who he's working with. Since joining Hermitcraft he has worked hard to become good at all the non-building aspects of Minecraft to where I'd say he's one of the best SMP Minecraft players on RU-vid currently.

I need a SciCraft Reaction. SciCraft is absolutely absurd... it puts mumbos contraptions to shame in scale... SciCraft is just all huge redstoners who just push the game to the limit and have absolute massive obscene redstone creations.... I need to see their dumbfoundness to it.

Most people in HC makes things in creative first, there's also a mod that shows you a "blueprint" of the builds, that's why they often build things in layers

Just prior to him joining hermitcraft he ran a series that started at some of the earliest beta versions of minecraft and would periodically move forward in versions, looking at the way builds progressed as the "technology" of minecraft evolved. Even with very limited block choices he really managed to build some crazy stuff in that series (EVO). Above and beyond his ability to build insane things Grian is king mischief maker. HIs pranks are some of the funniest moments I've seen on RU-vid gaming. Really someone should take some of the major story arcs from past HC seasons and edit them into features. The Hermit civil war from season 6 would be a dope "mini-series" Grian's team in their Brita filter of doom base going to all out war against Docm77's crew in their insane Star fort. Very epic...

The hermits are a very kind bunch, I'm certain if you approached them with a proper idea, they'd be open to let you make a documental about hermitcraft and their creative process. I'd be down to watch it.

grian actually made a video about his process of planning a mega build together with pearlescent moon. its called "how to build megabases in minecraft"

Dude you have gone for the 3 Big Ones, now show them the 3 Crazy Ones, Bdubs megabuilds, Tango Crazy Redstone (Decked Out!) and Doc' Game Breaking Tech. Also shout-out to Pearl, who has fewer episodes on account of being new to the server, but is a Crazy Good Builder (and the creative partner to Grian)

So glad you guys are doing these vids for minecraft players. It's dope seeing the different ways each of them play to achieve insane builds.

Keep this series going forever!! You guys should do BdoubleO and Etho that would blow their mind for sure lmao

World Edit is a mod, so you're playing the game like normal (generally in creative, although it's not blocked from working in survival) and can also make all sorts of changes with commands to select and edit areas or to create a brush tool to paint the changes in where you're looking. I don't know what it's called but it's something entirely different going into an external program to edit a map on a large scale. Using something like that can certainly lead into working in-game with World Edit as the next step though. Someone could design custom terrain for an entire massive continent and then go into the game and make tweaks with world-edit while working on a whole bunch of builds spread across it all. (That's what someone called TrixyBlox has been up to over the last year for what he's calling the Ultimate Survival World. ("Survival" because the intention is for people to download it and explore it in survival. He was of course in creative for all the building.) Continent covers millions of blocks worth of area and is divided into 10(?) biomes and features a massive interconnected cave system underneath it all as well. And he's been building civilizations in each biome (each civilization takes inspiration from different sources) and there's all this lore behind everything which people will eventually be able to discover for themselves as they explore when it becomes available for download. Each video he's put out covers his work on each biome, and his girlfriend has put out a few videos explaining some extra details on some of the story elements in it.)

It would be interesting to see them react to Minecraft Championship after reacting to Dream. To its top plays and top players. As well as how well organized and creative it is with all the schematics and originality!

I've watched a lot of builders and I have come up with 5 key tips to building. 1. Nothing in real life is a perfect square, shape, or color. so use texturing(multiple similar color blocks) or depth(blocks being "sticking in" or" jutting out" of the build" 2. Start with a frame and dontbe afraid to make weird shapes. make your builds bigger than you think they will be because you end up filling in a ton of space with bocks 3. Pick a solid color pallete and stick to it. Use the same colors for the same parts of your build. roofs should have similar colors for the beams and shingles, consistency and filling out your build with lots of different, but similarly theme objects is key 4. Vary the levels of your build, and vary the level you build on so that it fits the landscape instead of sticking out like a sore thumb. 5. Go into creative mode with blocks you want to use and start fooling around, making detailing, adding depth to basic wall designs etc. Then apply those in your survival world and it will go so quick 6. Another tip I remembered. Use angled builds. dont always make your builds flat and on a right angle. his towers look amaing and they are diagonal

Before Grian did Hermitcraft, he was actually in a survival minecraft series with some of his friends called EvoSMP! It was still going when he first started Hermitcraft, but I think somewhere in his first season, it ended. EvoSMP basically started back in some of the oldest versions of minecraft and very slowly progressed to newer ones. So it's not that he wasn't playing survival at all when he joined, it was just him being used to playing very outdated versions. He didn't even know much about enchanting!

Now we’re just waiting for the Team to react to Smallishbeans and the Empires SMP builds.

They are gonna have a field day watching Tango’s new Nether Hub 😂

The amount of grinding he does to collect the resources is insane

Gathering materials and actually building are you huge but you also gotta take into account how much it takes to always be turning out unique and interesting builds. The amount of time they have to spend thinking as well... Astounding

Heres the scoop, they use "litematica" so they can easily build the one they built in creative. Litematica is an in game program in minecraft where you can copy the image of a build and you can see how much materials you need and also you can see where to place the blocks when you set up the image in your survival world.

Some of the hermits build in creative first and some don't, as far as the process of you watch through the season each one goes about explaining theirs process as they are doing the builds or planning for them. Also if I remember correctly Grian does use a test world first and some of the hermits also be have team members who help them design

I’ve never understood how these guys can make such amazing builds in the nether without ghasts being a major issue. I can’t go 20 blocks in the nether without getting hounded by 2 or 3 ghasts immediately.

As far as I know he watches builds in real life and tries to bring them into Minecraft. For season 8 and his Harry Potter themed alley, he was in old British towns and look at them, took some fotos you know and rebuild them in creative first. And sometime, scar and grian need 2 or more days for medium building (for their size medium), they’re farming hours for recourses and build on the next day or two it’s insane from their 5s part in the video “I was farming 5 hours and now starts the Timelapse” 😂

Grian suggested the Upside Down. It was his idea. He got BDubs, Etho, & Scar involved with it

I love these vids so much. Now I'm waiting on a FoolishGamers builds, Technoblade compliatons, Sapnap dominating MCC, Tommy Mod reactions. And those ones are just the ones off the top of my head

All of this build up to the Sci-craft world tour with Mumbo is epic!

I think you should do cubfan or tango next both build some great stuff!

You earned my sub when you said "This server is the coolest thing in gaming." I've been watching the Hermitcraft since Season 2.

You guys need to look at Docm77 aka The GOAT, from Hermit Craft. The crazy shit that man does is absolute mindboggling. He is, as I write this, going to be releasing a world eater that literally destroys the earth in a giant line next episode. You'll like his tech stuff.

We need Keralis and for you to watch his older build videos and maybe his world of keralis inspiration videos because the buildings are insane.

And if you think his brain is firing on all cylinders, he listens to audiobooks while building so he doesn't get bored XD

There is at least one video I know of, not sure which season, where Grian, Mumbo, and a couple of other Hermits talk about how they come up with their designs. They basically create their builds in their own creative worlds to mock up what they are going to build on the Hermitcraft server. Also I think its funny he thinks the Hermits are young kids when I believe that all of them are between 20-50+.

I don't know Grians process but a lot of hermits use litematica to get their design from creative to the server. They still have to build it twice it just helps with going layer by layer.

17:00 could just be me misinterpreting his words, but Grian's married.

Literally, just pick one Hermit and watch their season! There's a crazy amount of interaction, and it all tells a cohesive story. I'd love for the gang to take on Bdubs or Etho next, but with what Doc has done this season, definitely check him out.

I love seeing people that don't know much about minecraft be amazed by builders or any other people that are really great at what they are doing in this game.

As great as he is at building... Grian is always up to some kinda shenanigans on the server. Two of my favorite examples include Mumbo for Mayor and leading the hermitage Civil War.

no one tell these guys about litematica. let them keep the magic

It would be cool if you showed everyone he stuff Etho has done

Would love to see a Bdubs react fellas, keep up the good work

What you described is a program called World Painter. Grian is more known for World Edit, which allows you to manipulate large amounts of blocks while playing minecraft

Grian is an amazing builder, I'm watching this on May 8th, 2022 and just wow.

We need a bdubs, just casually building a whole mountain in-between episodes 🤣

17:00 Ah, yes. Grian, the 29 year old kid

To build something that big, you would need WAY more stacks of items than just 4. Possibly a whole double chest or two.

The amazing thing about minecraft is that it appeals to people of all ages, especially when you mentioned showing these builds to a 50 year old, I know for a fact many of them are in their 40s, for example docm77 is 46... So, yeah, many of them are past the age where you would expect them to be full time per se. Also, not trying to bring up tragic stories, but one of the members, TinFoilChef, recently passed away, he was more than 60 years old, while he wouldn't play that frequently any more because of his age, he still made a few videos on the latest season. So yeah, while Grian is very young, there are many old hermits. Of course, I agree with your point - the average 50 year old would probably be flabbergasted if they had any prior concept of what minecraft was.

Great video!! more love for Grian please he is very inspirational and always teaching and also very generous charity wise etc. One of the Very Top builders. thank you for sharing this!

I only started watching Hermitcraft on season 8 because of Pearl and Gem. Who were both in Empires SMP, and the reason I even knew about Empires is because of Pixlriffs. Man that was on hell of a journey. Well to sum up I did start Grian's videos on season 8 and went to Season 6 and 7. Man Grian is just one of the best builders Ive seen, and fun to watch.

I'm rewatching this, you guys would freak out at what Tango Tek has made on hermitcraft season 9. Decked out 2 is the coolest thing made in minecraft.

3:05 He does in fact have it insured in case the server crashes but a simple creeper isn't enough to do any harm, he would just have to rebuild it. 21:09 It is tinted glass layered with end rods in between to give a fog effect

Most of them use a mod called LiteMatica - they build something in creative then download a schematic that superimposes over their survival world, so it's telling them what block to put where. Some people think it's cheating... but c'mon, they're building the thing twice! It's impressive no matter which way you look at it, and for builds on the scale that these guys work at... that type of mod would save them hours of work

He did not just call it *WORLD EDIT* Grian got big from his buold battles and tutorials. Edit: one of them called torches candles i am done I am rage quitting this video!

You guys need to do a react to Bdouble0100!! If you react to his building with B dubs series he goes through and explains his process and how he comes up with the ideas for details in length. It would be a good window into how one of the main crafters on the hermit craft server does his stuff, plus more hermit craft content with B dubs. The cliff from season seven… Bro

A cool Minecraft series idea I think would be a hardcore survival world where everyone needs to log a certain number of hours per week. There wouldn't be much of an ultimate goal just a general series for content with the catch obviously being it's hardcore. So if there are enough people in it (say team summertime, other members of optic, and a bunch of fans), there could be massive battles or events. Except the stakes would be much higher because well, hardcore.

If you want to see Grian’s process of building a megabase he made a video about it with Pearl. It’s called how to build megabases in minecraft. There are two parts and Grian and Pearl build a megabase just for that video!!!

You mentioned how he hadn’t played survival in a while but he was on the Evolution smp (an smp he made) a while back and left it to join hermit craft season 6

6:47 "it doesn't even look like Minecraft" .... I think I've been watching too much Hermitcraft, because this is very par for the course to me

Grian is good, better than anyone i know by leaps and bounds. now having said that you should do a reaction to Scar's season 8 or 9. or Tango season 9

You guys should react to Empires SMP either season one or season two, they both have amazing empires with amazing builds and amazing people!

Nah, with the exception of season starts, generally episodes come out scattered enough you can watch everyones. TFC just dropped episode 3 today!

When you see them being amazed but came here from Grian’s channel: *Yawn* This is normal. Why are you overreacting?

You guys should really react to Jeracraft. He’s also an amazing Minecraft builder that’s always gets carried away when he build

You guys should watch Impulsesv builds in hermitcraft. His mega builds are incredible.

Yeah! Grian is an amazing builder and also he was on multiple servers and few even of his own as Evo or short for EvolutionSMP :D

9:46 Trust me you wont have any luck with that, he's got 2 brain cells and already shares one with Mumbo...

11:55 when he said Hermitcraft season 2, even though he didn’t join the server back when it was season two also that was built in season 7 btw correction!

You guys should look up litematica 😂 that's how most of them rebuild their creative builds in survival

you guys should also react to pearlescentmoon and geminitay, they are also amazing hermits, they joined last year for hermitcraft 8

6:12 hd built that but never finished the back HAHAHA like most hermits. They barelh finish the backs of their mega builds

not kids.... the oldest hermit.... TinFoilChef is 62... the youngest pearlescentmoon 26

You shohld react to docm77, especially once his world eater video comes out tomorrow, the stuff he does to break minecraft is insane

The Minecraft reactions are the best

No u noob grian olredy play survival Minecraft before hermetcraft he use to own a survival server chald evo smp

yall should check out mythical sausage and fwhipz. Builds are just as mind blowing

"not played Minecraft in a long time" what??? he was on the Evo server at the same time when he joined???

Grain listens to like the same 3-4 audio books while building, I forgot where he said it. I think it was an ad

You guys have to react to sci craft with mango and them. That’s the most technical server on Minecraft

Grian sometimes builds it in creative frost on a back up world then put it in the server or he goes with the flow

9:30 what most of the hermits do for the larger builds is first build it in creative. Then they use a client side mod called litematica to basically make a schematic of it. When they get onto the server, they load the schematic up, and litematica displays it like a hologram which is only shown to them (they can make it display in different ways, like one layer at a time). It also tells them exactly what they need.

You need more than a few stacks of blocks, you need entire chests full of blocks to make these builds

shh no one tell them about litematica

9:01 Look up Schematica Printer 3:29 AM (yep!) 5/13/2022
