Hermitcraft 10 – The Coral Reef Starter Build – Ep.8

Hello everyone welcome to hermitcraft episode 8 it’s good to see you last episode we worked a ton on this little dock area getting a lot of details in and I want to kind of start off right where we left off in the last episode because a lot of you are telling me

Things about these power lines first of all I love all the fun facts that you’re giving me I did try to get like a little Transformer thing with the I don’t know I don’t know exactly what I’m doing I’m going to keep adjusting the power lines but something that keeps coming up is

The fact that I should use leads to get this drippy effect and while I do agree leads would probably be cleaner I’m not going to use them and I’m I’m going to go show you why right now going to need some seeds for this and you know what a couple of

Leads might actually be helpful for this but not necessarily for the build part now that is exactly what I was looking for hey little guy what you doing yeah nice right one bird down let me go see if I can find another one is that an

Laay dude I don’t know what you’re doing here but I don’t think you’re meant to be here come here oh gosh oh now is not the time now is so not the time dude oh come on Bird come on bird you could do it great that’s just great where’s dragon guy oh there

He is hey dude you want to give me that I really need those just I just please no okay well this is not the squad that I thought that I would have but um let’s go get some more birds here we go here’s another little guy come come

On come on oh that was a lot that was a lot of seeds dude you see that that was a lot okay uh I didn’t I didn’t know this was going to be an LA Rescue Mission I’ll be honest so I think we’ll take two birds and that’ll be enough oh they got

Off my shoulder okay you know what they can all fly they’ll be fine home sweet home okay now for what I wanted to actually show you today come on birds come on that’s it oh up on the house is actually cute but I kind of wanted you over here on this wire yeah

Yeah come on come on that’s it no not on here not yeah there you go okay you sit right there perfect you see how cute that is you can’t do that with leads you can’t put Birds on them if they’re leads and I I agree the iron bars look a

Little dumb and the chains it’s unfortunate that they don’t bend but I think that we’re going to make the iron bars work and I I absolutely love that little detail it’s really going to add to the tropical feel around here he’s so cute look at

Him okay you’re a little stuck I see I do see that oh sit perfect bird on the wire are you seeing the vision oh my my gosh I love it what an immersive way to kind of bring the jungle in obviously at the moment this Bas is a little hard to

Visualize cuz we just have the structures but we need to remember that we’re doing terrain structures and then Organics Organics a lot of them are going to come last some of them are going to be custom trees which I guess I that’s not really Organics it’s kind of

Like landscaping and then of course we’re going to do more fishes and other horrible things so the it doesn’t look super jungly right now but it will it will and I think the birds will fit in great and secretly uh Etho came by this was eth’s idea this is I can’t take

Credit this was fully eth’s idea he told me that I should do this and I fully agree that looks fantastic I can’t wait to show him later if I’m going to babysit this La I’m also going to duplicate it so that I can have an LA God that song is

Creepy they’re friends cute come on dude last night I got the chance to tell skiz Etho and pearl where I want my milk mailbox and I picked out my lighthouse cuz I think it would be such a cool spot to get mail from and by Looking In Here ah very funny Tango very

Funny oh my God Tango has given me a beacon whoa I did not expect that and way more iron than I need that’s so nice oh my gosh Tango you’re the best kind of also nice to have a Sher box not going to lie I was thinking about using a beacon in

One of my designs and maybe even having a beacon shooting out of the lighthouse so thank you Tango that’ll be super useful grian’s been asking in chat if uh anybody has a throwaway permit and you know what we’ve been focusing so much on these permits that I have the coral the

Tridance the Moss I haven’t even really talked to you about my Nether Bricks permit and I feel like I don’t want it you know what Green’s my neighbor he can have it let’s just go ahead and bring this on over to him what have you got

That you don’t want oh I desperately do not want all the Nether Bricks oh nether brick which I guess yeah includes nether rack yeah yeah no thank you yeah okay well just for full transparency I promised Wells Knight a mystery permit but the mystery permit that I was going

To give him is one that I’ve already gathered stuff for so this is a lifesaver so he’s going to get he’s going to get nether I’m trying I’m sure he this away to the next person he’ll be thrilled no he’ll love it he’ll love everybody loves that

Everybody wants that of course except me not me uh well I I I don’t want it either this is great perfect how does that look no that doesn’t not quite connected Y close though on the right track I want that oh it’s a big crane you got over

There yeah we’re I’m working on it working on it all right all right that’s nice oh let’s go let’s go parkour Champion over here let’s go look you see that did you see the skills of Kao very nobody can match C andum everyone’s proud of

You so proud thank you ah there we go okay I made it I made it to the top oh come on now wonder the heck [Laughter] Larry what what is that on the back of the train I go to the permit office for 5 minutes what the heck what are you talking about

What is the snail the giant snail in the back of the train you didn’t build that it’s on your train scar come on it is on your train scar it’s clearly a part of your group yeah well I mean it looks quite nice but no I didn’t do it and

There’s those scoundrel little snails on the top up there huh I didn’t know they could build nice apparently they’re quite the builders over there sorry cwo sorry cwoo what the heck it’s is that straight up Larry that is some good snail work yeah those those snails can really build my God they are

Talented they’re very talented s that is something else Gran they are really good at what they do my god what have you Hooligans been up to those are some talented snails Huska look at them aren’t you proud of them quite the builders see even got little eyes on top

They do have little eyes I had to move a little closer and I did see them now they are talented little fellas is that Larry it’s I guess it’s it’s a snail it’s snail yeah is it it what do I I don’t know ask them scar we

Didn’t do it fine fine hello little G he’s talking to them they don’t speak your language with this giant snail now on my train it’s perfect scar it fits right in it does I guess I guess don’t they know that’s the feed car location I don’t think they know a

Lot yeah not very many thoughts behind those eyes scar those eyes they’ve got maybe one Brain Cell between them yeah well then they make one big brain cell that’s nice well they made one big snail maybe that’s where they got the idea from that’s where the brain cell went

Yeah it’s all used up now what do I do with this see you later good luck mister I I have something to speak with you about too you come back here I got give me even more reason to run away not here closed not loud don’t coming in construction site construction

Site construction site hi Pearl Hello I I decided I would help Tango and Etho a little bit wow I’m trying my best I really want special redstone on mine where there’s a beacon hooked up to it that goes off you you can handle that yeah look it’ll be the Pearl

Version if you’re happy with the Pearl version will the pear is the Pearl version functional it’s always activated you’ve always got mail gy it’s just whenever it sends power to this it also needs to send power to a sticky piston that puts a block over a beacon or

Retracts a block from a beacon right that’s easy it’s just not going to it like I said it’s going to be the pale version of it so it’ll look Terri it might look bad you know what on second thought maybe I’ll call Tango oh okay your faith in me is

Started to go downhill I see uh no I have I mean this looks this looks fantastic wow we wow wow I tried you know I totally didn’t just copy it from I’m so glad it fit mostly yeah so I actually wanted to move it it like over so it’s touching the wall more

But then it wouldn’t have been centered to the doorway it would have been too heavy over this side so I put it a bit more in the middle yeah this works this was fine it just meant that it had to come out towards the door by one block

Sadly epic well I’m so he I’m so excited I’m going to have mail this is amazing thank you I can’t wait to get around like just like see everybody hooked up and using this thing mhm nonfunctioning mailboxes aside it’s time to actually go ahead and do what I had planned on

Getting done today it’s uh it’s not been a very productive episode so far I’m so sorry sometimes it just be like that I swear I should do an episode sometime where I just sit at my base and see how many people come by cuz I feel like it’d

Be a lot it’d be a lot of people anyways I have been slowly collecting up a whole bunch of items for a build that I want to do out on the coral reef after all now that we’re finally down to the four permits that I actually want to sell

Things from we need to really start thinking about them especially the coral one we handled sea pickles in the previous episode but uh sea pickles are definitely not the only thing we need we also need Coral blocks you know what this is probably a great time to use the

Shulker Box Tango gave me this should do it for materials I think today I would like to go ahead and set up a sort of second base of operations out at the coral reef since Coral blocks are not farmable in vanilla we’re going to need a place where we can easily sleep store

Stuff and probably connect with a portal and that way we can go out and farm whenever the shop gets low I’ve decided since I have this nautical theme going anyways we’re basically just going out and researching the coral reef after all something’s destroying it something who knows what’s destroying it really could

Be anything it’s a very fragile ecosystem yep it’s just as I suspected this Reef right here this would appear to be the perfect spot to set up my little research Camp this little sandb bar is now going going to be my base of operations for all of my workout here

All I got to do is create a little platform right about here where I can set up a portal and a bed and things and be able to come back and forth super easily all right first platform is in this will be the one that has the bed

And the chests and things that allows me to store and set up now I want another platform adjacent to this that I can connect to with a little simple Bridge honestly oh I might just go straight this way that’ll probably work and then we do a tinier one that has like the

Portal also kind of going to need a way onto this platform from the water so let’s go ahead and just make a little Warf here yeah there we go that’ll help that really didn’t take too long at all and it’ll go a long way having a

Nice platform out here to do do all of my work now of course comes the not so fun part I want to use this platform right here as a way to get here without having to use boat or elyra just you know I need a portal I need a portal to

Actually be able to get here a lot easier and so there we have it now you may be thinking correctly I don’t have a portal at my base and that’s okay we’re going to use impulses at least until I figure out where I want my actual portal this is

Probably the longest part of this whole process but in other fantastic news that actually looks pretty cool makes a little new point of Interest out here at the reef all right I’m using Tango’s portal here just for a moment welcome to the roof of the nether now we’ve got to

Go over here and should be able to plop a portal and connect up if I’ve done my math correctly this should be where I need to be in order to have the portals connect here we go and of course we’ll make a quick sign so we don’t confuse

Anyone let’s see if I did this correctly oh I did for some reason I’m always amazed when that actually works all right that should have made getting around out here a lot easier now all I want to do is just decorate this whole platform a

Little bit I want to make it look like a proper Research Center so I’ve brought a bunch of these concrete blocks I’ve got some Acacia here to hopefully help with the aesthetic I think we could also probably get some aesa trap doors to cover up the sides a bit just like so

Yeah Perfect Since I’m going for a research center type aesthetic I want to match the portal build with another little kind of researchy themed build over here maybe a little bigger than that literally just a tiny little build right over here where I can put a couple

Of chest and my bed it’ll be functional but it’ll also kind of give that Sleek modern Research Center type of look I also really do want to put one of my starter house boats out in this way so I’m going to kind of copy that aesthetic

With some of the tires off the side of this platform here just in various places it is so simple and Tiny but I actually think that it’s pretty effective I mean we have to keep in mind that this at the end of the day is pretty much literally just a place for

Me to come and farm Coral so it doesn’t have to be like crazy complex just has to be like kind of remotely functional and give me a little Landmark out here to come to and be excited about I’m thinking if I want this to be even more

Of a landmark I need a lot more detail blocks than what I have actually brought I mean I’m thinking a crane would look really good potentially lifting things off the beach here maybe a big kind of satellite tower sort of thing so we can communicate with our base back at home I

Have ideas and for those ideas I’m going to need to go back and get some materials while I was back at my base grabbing materials cup came by to pick up his child hello hello hello Cub how are you I’m good I’ve been babysitting this is your child that’s what I’ve heard that’s

What I’ve heard where did you find this this guy at just in the water over there really cuz I lost him in mountains behind my house in my base area it was travel he was kind of near Zeda like in the Water by that oh okay okay yeah I got you

Yep I will attach him to a fence post and then you can take him from said fence post you may have to uh remove his puffer fish that he’s holding currently there you go all right so now I think now you’re besties think he should follow me let’s

See does he follow my gosh he’s going to get lost again I know it he’s not the brightest there’s not so many thoughts behind those eyes oh he oh he hears the note block that’s why he’s sticking around here yeah and he triggers the note block so

It’s it’s a constant cycle I see I see okay yeah I’ll I’ll drag him away from here then I’ll drag him away come on guy jeez de with note blocks and everything oh my gosh Come on come on there he goes okay we’re off J thank you have fun yep

Okay goodbye thank you for taking him oh yeah uh the duplicated one just down here also trying to get to that note block I love aays though they’re so cute they don’t exactly fit with a creepy Vibe but I think I can still use them they’re really cute when they’re maybe I

Could have one on a fishing rod oh never mind I have ideas I have ideas not for today though today we have other plans I think this should be enough materials to get me through some detailing so let’s go back and get to work let’s begin with the this structure over here which

Should be pretty simple I’m thinking maybe just a copper rod and then in this opposite corner maybe build it up a bit more with a wall and have it look like some sort of fancy antenna yeah that’s right my shop may require absolutely zero Redstone to pull off but I’m still

Going to use it in the build mostly cuz I think that looks pretty cool as some sort of radio tower I also wanted to create a more modern look around this particular to to so I’m going to delete a small section of the roof and have some just different shapes

And colors coming through here to add some contrast yeah this is looking better already now all it needs is some height and there we go just like magic some height out on the coral reef I feel like that breaks up the flat Horizon just wonderfully yeah basically just the

Final details of this base now I want to get a few hanging signs here and just see if it would work for railing I like the pop of color that the red gives I didn’t bring quite enough Mangrove to finish the job but I feel like this will

Give us a pretty good idea either way I think it’ll actually be really exciting to have kind of a base away from home a little bit it’ll be interesting to see what else I can add out here but for now this is certainly a lovely start need a

Boat in the water of course you know what I like it my little Coral Research Center this is perfect perfect I can literally just come out on the reef now perhaps I can put a beacon and a conduit in this area as well and just be kind of

Ever expanding this little platform add some boats and stuff and I can just spend a ton of time mostly I’ll be honest there’s going to be a lot of off camera or stream grinding which is great it’s nice to have some grindy projects I’ll be able to come over here and just

Harvest Coral as I please well with that everyone I believe that is all the time that I have today weird circumstance but there is a snow storm coming in real life so I’m going to go prepare for that and I’ll be able to grind some Coral whilst in a blizzard which I think

Sounds absolutely fantastic I love a grinding Minecraft job while I’m stuck inside thank you so much for watching everyone I’ll see you next Time

Today GeminiTay is on the hermitcraft server, meeting with friends and building a new coral research center out in the ocean. This will act as a place to gather materials for our future coral shop!

  1. So happy to see my suggestion I made was seen, or at least it seems like it. I didn't want to make the suggestion as something you should incorporate, but it was simply an idea I had since the waterline of the surface does move up and down with the waves.

  2. Gem! For your next “research center” (if you have one) you should make it like the starting sun in subnautica! That would fit right in with the ocean games theme you’ve got going with dredge and all.

  3. You should try and get the post system connected to your coral reef base as then you could offer delivery and easily move stuff from base to base

  4. Instead of turning the beacon on and off, you could just switch the color of a stained glass block above it. For example, it's normally blue but turns yellow when you've got mail to pick up

  5. Do a mix of metal rods and leads, leads for the droopy part and for the straight ones, just add them with the rods to make it look more natural and not out of place.

  6. Gem I love your bolds deep up the good work why not you can do a fish dock house if you did that sorry I hantnt whach all of your vids creep up the good work

  7. 0:30 We need the power lines connected to the power lines by the permit office… and no… it’s not because it would undermine Grian’s goal of making it impossible to find.

    I’m sure no one will randomly follow power lines into the forests…

  8. Coral is farmable via Wandering Traders, but I'm guessing that's not an option.
    For Allays and creepiness: they sound haunting when grouped together and none are holding items.

  9. please gem, dont feel bad if you dont build anything in a episode! we love interactions with other hermits, we love the slow pace, shenanigans… season 10 is the best

  10. the little island used for the coral reef outpost needs something. like a large singular palm tree? and if you want on the nether roof, you could build an ice path from base to outpost, and than still use a boat to get back and forth?

  11. If this build is supposed to be based off the place where you activate the thing to deter the monster you could set up a shrieker? Pretty similar thing

  12. 3:03 someone show gem the song two birds on a wire
    4:09 Geminislay? Nah. Geminidecay.
    5:52 a wild scar apears
    8:37 gem and grian’s laughs sync up as they pull mild shenanigans. Like the (hypothetical) siblings they are
    13:25 I give up putting comedic time stamps as gem has gotten (mostly) back on track
