i am 13 right now and I took inspiration from het base and also had a mini tower with a secret entrance, so she's right a bout playing as a 14 year old mind
I’ve thought of the lore for this: Gem, the protector of the cherry village has been captured during the update by pillagers. They knew that they couldn’t cage her though, so they hid her. Far away from the cherry village leaving the cherry village, without a protector. Meanwhile, Gem finds another village to protect. Gem must challenge the pillagers to a raid of the new village before they raid her cherry village. If the pillagers win then her life will be lost, but if she prevails then the pillagers will give her the location of her cherry village and she’ll be able to go home. But at the end if everything goes well, she’ll have two homes.
You can just build a greenhouse. Water sources won't freeze with any block (with a collision box) over them, even glass. Water sources will ONLY freeze if they are directly exposed to the sky. (For example, a chain will prevent freezing, but vines won't.)
@@mabelmabel8112 Yes, they extend the growing season by trapping heat and sheltering from wind, and can be used all-year round with heating and lighting, used a lot in England to grow mostly tasteless mass-market tomatoes :/ I just wish Minecraft had a few diagonal slope blocks - slope glass pane (for greenhouse), slope tiles, slope concrete, slope wood, slope slate. Slope sandstone for pyramids would be neat too.
5:20 Tip: water logging the water with a slab/stair etc or putting a solid block above it also prevents it from freezing :) 6:46 This means for these water sources underground, they shouldn’t freeze even without the torches above them, since they do not have direct sunlight
best comment for living in a snow biome^^^ would recommend waterlogged slab to place a torch on so you have walkable surface while gathering your crops, and a light source placement so mobs dont spawn. would have said waterlogged trapped door or even sea pickles, but accidently falling into the water source is annoying.. slabs are just much better overall.
@@agent90z waterlogged slabs are always my go to for farms, even in warm biomes. As you mentioned, they prevent falling in the hole, and they are great for placing a light source. I usually opt for a lantern, since torches break too easily when you are harvesting.
Saved me the time of typing the same info. Also useful for Ice Farming. Place a ring of covered source blocks in a frozen biome/high up and they fill the center, then the center freezes but not the ring.
I love that too! Like you said. You don’t have to abandon the old world to start a new one. You can just go to a totally different location and start something different! 😁
The relaxing aspect is what I like also. So many minecraft videos are about doing things super fast. There's another channel I like called itsmarloe and he's doing a series right now where I think he's on episode 5 or 6 and a whole episode was about finding andesite cause he wanted it for his chimney. That may not sound like the most exciting thing but another thing he's doing is cutting out all of the extra noise in the game so it's mostly silent besides some ambiance. It's probably one of the most relaxing series I've ever seen
11:05 The physical position of these villagers gossiping suggests that blocks within your base have been labeled as part of the village due to proximity. The 'center' of the village is between the village and your manor. Unsurprising since they'll expand to roughly any potential job block or bed within 32 blocks of another bed, job block, bell, etc, that is part of the village. That's a fairly substantial range. (Technically, it breaks it down more by subchunks, which can just be thought of as chunks for simplicity. Any (sub)chunk with a claimed block is part of the village. Any (sub)chunk adjacent to a village (sub)chunk that has a potential bed or job block added to it becomes part of the village. So you basically need a "moat" of (sub)chunks around any village to keep any new structure built from joining the village. (A subchunk is just a 16 block tall slice of a chunk.)) If you'd like them to gather in the center of your choosing, place a bell. They'll gather there. Just be aware that villagers may still try to break into your manor until you can get it divorced from the village.
I will always be a fan of a secret entrance on a single player world. I've played like that since I was a little kid and there's something so fun about it!! Really loving the series :)
Friendly (Advice) Reminder GeminiTay. . . .that HOLE you covered? (In the middle of town?) COULD hold/ HIDE Piligers when you do your RAID! Long ago, I was slamming my head against the wall (metaphorically) because I could not seem to FINISH a Pilliger Raid (because some of them ended up under the ground in an area I had previously COVERED UP! (and I couldn't FIND them) VERY frustrating! (so, be sure to REMEMBER the location of that hole, "just in case")
I am not a parent, but being an adult I also prefer these video's. It is just wonderful to wind down to. And if I had children, I would probably prefer them watching Geminitay over today's children's tv shows nowadays. I don't remember cartoons being so crazy loud and jarring when I was young.
@@SlateTiarayeah! Cartoons are not what they usually were back in the day. Even on Netflix. The kids shows now are just….ehhhhhhhhh 😬. Not educational and fun to watch. Expect Bluey! I love Bluey. A show on Netflix that is good for kids and anyone to watch. Is called Puffin Rock. It’s calming (not loud), fun to watch and it’s a bit educational.
Dido. As a movie protestor, completely agree with this. (I had to watch an alien movie, and my cortisol levels skyrocketed..I didnt come out of my room until an hour later..😭)
PG is over the recommended content exposure for a child. PG means a parent or guardian's discretion as guidance because the exposure is harmful content and needs a mature light, a thought process from a mature adult to evaluate and grow, but ironically all is harmful, though worse if left on their own to discover harmful adults playing a game thought to be suitable for children. Which it's not. Minecraft on its own is PG and not suitable for children.
I am impressed with how your manor lords village is coming together. Your great building and decorating skills combined with the beautiful natural generation (you definitely got lucky with this seed having a stunning ice spikes, relatively flat land, and well placed hills around the village) around it make this a stunning village and your area as a whole look like the inside of a gigantic snow globe!
It‘s been a long time since I‘ve been so excited about a survival or hardcore series. Gem, your excitement over the terrain, the villager houses, mobs, etc. is so infectious! I can‘t wait to see what else you will experience in this world and how you will transform it! 💕 I just went exploring in my own survival world and found my first trial chamber but I also found some gorgeous terrain on the way and it made me think of the first episode of this series. I think I will do what you did too and leave everything behind (at least for a little vacation). Exploring and finding these beautiful landscapes always makes me so excited about Minecraft again! 🥰
It's so refreshing to watch a world evolve at a slower, more normal pace. While I absolutely live for each hermitcraft episode, it is nice to be reminded of the calm pace of an average minecrafter.
tip for the future, if you put paper or a compass into a cartographers table, you can get a map with eight less paper! good for a resource barren area like this.
Hey Gem! I love the idea of starting in a new location but in the same world. It would be really cool if you did lots of seasons, each one in a different village! Thanks for being one of the best RUclipsrs out there!!!
I see new gem video, I click. Seriously though, really enjoying this so far. It’s a throwback to the original hardcore village transformation series. I’ve watched that so often
You make me want to play minecraft so much! This village is so nice too, no weird houses on cliffs or inside caves it's so nice and flat without being super flat.
Just a small note on ice/water mechanics: water sources only turn to ice in cold biomes on the condition that they're adjacent to a full block and exposed to open air. So underground water sources will never freeze.
5:22 yes torches work, i believe any light source does, actually. alternatively you can place a block above the source, since only water sources that are exposed to the sky will freeze. waterlogging also works, since two blocks cannot share the same space
I LOVE the vibe of your hardcore videos, so cozy and satisfying. I'm 52 and have playing this game for years with my kids and I STILL make secret entrances. Your hide and go seek lighthouse gave me so much inspiration for my own server build. Well done GEM! Also happy pride to all of us in the RAINBOW mafia.
I’m not sure why but this new hardcore series has me SO excited! It is VERY cozy. I almost never settle down in snowy biomes, but they do make for very cool/fun bases
Love just how funny and creative she can be with her vids. “The cows have magically disappeared… That’s perfect 👍 casually holds the raw beef😂 also love that secret entrance will definitely use that sometime in one of my worlds
I didn't see anyone else mentioning this but beware of snow layers. They can build up and allow mobs to walk over walls. Another amazing "chill" video lol
Water sources only need a torch or "sky blocker block" if the water source has "Sky Access". So you don't need a torch per say but rather a top slab in the water block (waterlogged slab or stair) or simply a block above the water source is all that's needed. So when underground you can totally ignore all of this UNLESS it has direct sky access.
I love the palette and block choices- especially the oft overlooked cobble. It gives this village a very natural feeling, truly built up from what's in the environment. Where the cherry village felt whimsical, this feels more like people surviving in a harsh environment.
The new copper bulbs perhaps? The space within the village walls needs to be lit up, so using these would make a change from lanterns or messy torches. I wonder if they can be placed on top of a copper lightning rod like some giant copper lollipop.
You can also waterlog any water and that will prevent it from freezing, so maybe you can build a structure near the top of the cave that you can either just place water at or always has water so you can get back up easier without water freezing.
PLEASE MAKE A GREENHOUSE!!!! It would be so cool to see one in a cold biome! You could also maybe make the greenhouse on top of a natural hot spring so that it makes sense why you would want to build a big greenhouse there. In the books Winterfell has a hot sspring with greenhouses to grow food during the winter and it's really cool!
Gem! I think making a green house for your crops would be so cool! 1 for wheat , 1 for potatoes, etc. but you could add bees! And a cute little garden area!!!❤❤❤ Plus I love this series !! So fun!
it's so funny to say, but I love your hardcore series because they are so cozy and chill. it's not what you would expect from a hardcore series, but it's just perfection.
I just love that you are planning on connecting the villages. I think it would be so cool if you continued doing this in the world, so you'll eventually have a home in each different biome. Cuz NGL, it would be so neat to tour a world with connected towns with their own vibes.
I really needed this. TW for grief and death of a pet My dog, Romeo, needed a friend. We got a golden doodle rescue, Percy, this past Sunday. He was the sweetest boy, he'd cuddle with you for hours and love to watch tv and youtube videos. He wasn't eating, though, and we got concerned. We took him to the vet on Tuesday. They found he had an obstructed small intestine, likely from eating something while with his foster family. We took him to the best emergency vet in our area that night where he had surgery. We visited him yesterday, Wednesday, and the vet was pleased with his progress. Early this morning, Thursday, Percy went into cardiac arrest suddenly. The vet did everything they could, but it was simply his time. They called us crying, because he was the sweetest dog they'd ever met. I've felt devastated ever since. Your videos have cheered me up at all times in my life. They have brought me comfort when I'm sad, and made me even more happy when life is good. Percy also watched one of your videos with me, and I think he liked it. So thank you. Thank you for comforting me now. Thank you for giving my doodlebug some fun in the few days he had a home.
You had a seriously rough week to say the least. please take it easy on yourself, you sound like you're a great pet parent 🥲 sad things happen to good people and that's pretty shit. I feel so sad for your loss♥ and I hope when you gave all this a safe spot where it can be at peace in your heart, you will not be discouraged on your pet parent journey.
I think the hole in the middle of the village should be like an old coal mine with a cool elevator and everything It would look so cool in the village and explain why they had so many resources in the first visit
In your underground garden, extend a line of redstone under the trap doors from the lever, this way when you flip the switch to release the water, the doors should flip up and keep all the drops inside to flow down to the hoppers.
I like how you approach the game. You're actually having fun while playing and considering how you want to add depth to the world that matters to you. It may sound weird, but Im learning how to do that right now.
You can stop water from being frozen by putting a block above it at any distance. Your farmland doesn't need to be underground. Not to mention if you water log the water with a half slab or stair
Almost at 2 Million subs lettsss gooo!!! I'm glad I'm here early, your let's plays are always the one that I would never get bored watching, especially during your early let's plays, they always keep me inspired for builds
i know this is really random and probably insignificant, but thank you so much for putting the time abd effort into creating custom subtitles. im autistic, so auditory processing can be hard for me, which makes subtitles very helpful. seeing that you put the effort into making sure they're correct and well-paced, while small, means the world!
I am in love with these videos,although i only found @GeminiTay a couple days ago its nice to watch her video as i find them very chill and super relaxing to watch
Lore for crops.... during the "Winter Months" all the passes are blocked by deep, deep snow, so the village must fend for itself as far as large amounts of food go. A single traveler or small party might get through but not supply wagons.
Gem, save yourself some iron and redstone. Not only do you not need the player location function on a map that's only function is to be a wall display, but on the cartographer table you can use one piece of paper to turn it into an empty map, then place any map (even locator maps) in one slot, empty map in the other slot, and copy the 1st map. Just lock the copy to save it and keep using your main as is.
it would be so cool if one of the wall sections was like a giant snowdrift. would be kinda realistic and would be a way to put your own spin on the ice biome terrain
I have been watching quite a few of your videos lately, and somehow I only now just saw your channel description that said you were from Newfoundland Canada and my heart soared! I am from the USA but have family from Newfoundland and have never met or heard anyone talk about the province so that fact made me so happy! :)
I really love the slower play on these types of videos. Makes both a nice change, but also shows that we aren't slow, if we can't make a gigantic starter house during the first couple of hours into a new world.
I love the pace in this video. Just building a protective wall and comfy beds for villagers are the best things about minecraft if you ask me. I very much am rooting for your village to survive, because you poored so much into it. After all you even have a villagers portret on the wall 🥰 I'm probably way too invested, but I like your everlasting good vibes 🤗 much love from the Netherlands!
I remember the first Gem video I ever watched was a hardcore defending a village, although I love the smp videos these will always have a very cosy nostalgic vibe for me ❤
I think glow lichen would be very useful to stop the snow from gathering on top of the spruce logs that make up the wall, with a bonus of lighting up the space!
It's kinda crazy how massive some of the caves are in some places. I recently found one in my world that looked to be just a decent sized ravine and turns out once you go beneath it not only does it pretty much go down to bedrock but it also extends about 400 to 500 or so blocks in each direction. Might think about turning that into an underground city seeing as it's so massive. Would hate to see an area like that go to waste
I love the personal details like secret entrances. I did that in my game as well. I'd do the same with my villager houses too: I'd plan them out and put appropriate workbenches in each house. I used to make huge libraries because I didn't know about rerolling the villager's profession. Sadly, my GPU fried in 2020 and I couldn't afford to replace it.
I adore the silly secret entrance, it serves no purpose but to be a cute detail in the build. Way more entertaining than just having a door there.
I hope this comment blows up!
Secret entrances just make builds more charming and fun.
No single player world is complete without them.
Hey, who hasn't built a secret base in a single player world before?
i am 13 right now and I took inspiration from het base and also had a mini tower with a secret entrance, so she's right a bout playing as a 14 year old mind

Mini lore: the painting of villagers in her house are the manor's original owners

Well, it's only summer for half the planet at a time.
You can just build a greenhouse. Water sources won't freeze with any block (with a collision box) over them, even glass. Water sources will ONLY freeze if they are directly exposed to the sky. (For example, a chain will prevent freezing, but vines won't.)
seconding the greenhouse, i think this is just how plants are grown in cold areas sometimes
@@mabelmabel8112 Yes, they extend the growing season by trapping heat and sheltering from wind, and can be used all-year round with heating and lighting, used a lot in England to grow mostly tasteless mass-market tomatoes :/

A water source requires sky access (no blocks above it) to freeze. Waterlogged stairs, slabs, chests cannot freeze.

for the lore to fix the food, it needs light so maybe get glowstone as a UV light or something as all crops needs water and sunlight to thrive

Plus I love this series !! So fun!
I've been watching your videos for years, and this is by far the earliest I've ever been! I'm so excited for more episodes of this series!
I’m loving the cozy, slow-paced gameplay of this series, it’s definitely one of my favorites you’ve done so far!
I love the way that when gem said that the cows were gone magically she was holding raw beef in her hand😅
I love the idea of a fresh start on an old world. Great job.
it's so funny to say, but I love your hardcore series because they are so cozy and chill. it's not what you would expect from a hardcore series, but it's just perfection.
I am actually obsessed with this seriessssss aaaaaaa I love this smmm 😭😭💕💕
Watching you play Minecraft while playing Minecraft rn :) keep up the good work gem! I love your videos
Clicked this so fast you don’t even know!
so real
True
Exactly 😂
The video is not going anywhere, calm down
Swearrrr
I love living in and revamping villages. It’s always so fun
Absolutely loving the winter vibe, Gem's right barely anyone builds in snowy biomes
edit: 12:30 random secret entrances are a _must_ Gem dw
I just love that you are planning on connecting the villages. I think it would be so cool if you continued doing this in the world, so you'll eventually have a home in each different biome. Cuz NGL, it would be so neat to tour a world with connected towns with their own vibes.
I really needed this. TW for grief and death of a pet
My dog, Romeo, needed a friend. We got a golden doodle rescue, Percy, this past Sunday. He was the sweetest boy, he'd cuddle with you for hours and love to watch tv and youtube videos. He wasn't eating, though, and we got concerned. We took him to the vet on Tuesday. They found he had an obstructed small intestine, likely from eating something while with his foster family. We took him to the best emergency vet in our area that night where he had surgery. We visited him yesterday, Wednesday, and the vet was pleased with his progress. Early this morning, Thursday, Percy went into cardiac arrest suddenly. The vet did everything they could, but it was simply his time. They called us crying, because he was the sweetest dog they'd ever met. I've felt devastated ever since.
Your videos have cheered me up at all times in my life. They have brought me comfort when I'm sad, and made me even more happy when life is good. Percy also watched one of your videos with me, and I think he liked it. So thank you. Thank you for comforting me now. Thank you for giving my doodlebug some fun in the few days he had a home.
I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure Percy was a very happy doggo while you had him ❤
@@LocalBatteryThief Thank you ❤
You had a seriously rough week to say the least. please take it easy on yourself, you sound like you're a great pet parent 🥲 sad things happen to good people and that's pretty shit. I feel so sad for your loss♥ and I hope when you gave all this a safe spot where it can be at peace in your heart, you will not be discouraged on your pet parent journey.
@@SlateTiara thank you so much ❤we did everything we could for him, and I'd do it again
I’m loving this series, really cozy vibes!
Everything about Gem's videos is great: the builds themselves, the pacing, her humor, etc etc. I'll be a loyal fan until the end.
I think the hole in the middle of the village should be like an old coal mine with a cool elevator and everything It would look so cool in the village and explain why they had so many resources in the first visit
In your underground garden, extend a line of redstone under the trap doors from the lever, this way when you flip the switch to release the water, the doors should flip up and keep all the drops inside to flow down to the hoppers.
You're a star, keep shining bright!
Bot
No ur wrong emailmincraft
Dalma she is a star and so are u
I couldn't watch this when it came out! But holiday event is over so now I get to watch Gemini Tay be cozy in a hardcore world!🎉
Yay I’m so happy another upload :3 🫶🫶
I like how you approach the game. You're actually having fun while playing and considering how you want to add depth to the world that matters to you. It may sound weird, but Im learning how to do that right now.
I ran faster than Usain Bolt when I heard geminitay posted
You can stop water from being frozen by putting a block above it at any distance. Your farmland doesn't need to be underground. Not to mention if you water log the water with a half slab or stair
Almost at 2 Million subs lettsss gooo!!! I'm glad I'm here early, your let's plays are always the one that I would never get bored watching, especially during your early let's plays, they always keep me inspired for builds
your secret entrance reminded me of all the hidden bases I’ve made in worlds past, I think I’ll do stuff like that for my new 1.21 world!
I find it fascinating you chose a snowy theme at the start of summer but honestly I'm here for it. Loving the continuation of the series so far! 😊
You always manage to rekindle my love of this game after an absence. Thank you for being awesome like that.
i know this is really random and probably insignificant, but thank you so much for putting the time abd effort into creating custom subtitles. im autistic, so auditory processing can be hard for me, which makes subtitles very helpful. seeing that you put the effort into making sure they're correct and well-paced, while small, means the world!
I am in love with these videos,although i only found @GeminiTay a couple days ago its nice to watch her video as i find them very chill and super relaxing to watch
I love how Gem is always so positive no matter what!
Snow golems on the walls as turrets would look awesome. Loving the idea of this series and the content in general
Lore for crops.... during the "Winter Months" all the passes are blocked by deep, deep snow, so the village must fend for itself as far as large amounts of food go. A single traveler or small party might get through but not supply wagons.
I'm also playing in a winter biome, and as long as you slab the water source, it won't freeze outside! Inside, you're good to go without a torch! :D
Or cover it. Water blocks need direct sky above them to freeze.
Therefore the ones underground will never freeze.
Keep it going Gem, I love watching your videos
Gem, save yourself some iron and redstone. Not only do you not need the player location function on a map that's only function is to be a wall display, but on the cartographer table you can use one piece of paper to turn it into an empty map, then place any map (even locator maps) in one slot, empty map in the other slot, and copy the 1st map. Just lock the copy to save it and keep using your main as is.
it would be so cool if one of the wall sections was like a giant snowdrift. would be kinda realistic and would be a way to put your own spin on the ice biome terrain
Wake up guys, episode 2 of hardcore series is already posted!💜
I have been watching quite a few of your videos lately, and somehow I only now just saw your channel description that said you were from Newfoundland Canada and my heart soared! I am from the USA but have family from Newfoundland and have never met or heard anyone talk about the province so that fact made me so happy! :)
I really love the slower play on these types of videos. Makes both a nice change, but also shows that we aren't slow, if we can't make a gigantic starter house during the first couple of hours into a new world.
I love the vibes this new series has, it will b perfect watching it in the future , while I'm gonna have a break on Christmas
I love the pace in this video. Just building a protective wall and comfy beds for villagers are the best things about minecraft if you ask me. I very much am rooting for your village to survive, because you poored so much into it. After all you even have a villagers portret on the wall 🥰 I'm probably way too invested, but I like your everlasting good vibes 🤗 much love from the Netherlands!
Yay! New episode! Loving the series so far!❤🎉😊
I remember the first Gem video I ever watched was a hardcore defending a village, although I love the smp videos these will always have a very cosy nostalgic vibe for me ❤
I think glow lichen would be very useful to stop the snow from gathering on top of the spruce logs that make up the wall, with a bonus of lighting up the space!
I love the concept of starting fresh without starting a new world save 🙌
It's kinda crazy how massive some of the caves are in some places. I recently found one in my world that looked to be just a decent sized ravine and turns out once you go beneath it not only does it pretty much go down to bedrock but it also extends about 400 to 500 or so blocks in each direction. Might think about turning that into an underground city seeing as it's so massive. Would hate to see an area like that go to waste
One of the things I constantly do is make farms underground. It has now became my specialty.
I love the personal details like secret entrances. I did that in my game as well. I'd do the same with my villager houses too: I'd plan them out and put appropriate workbenches in each house. I used to make huge libraries because I didn't know about rerolling the villager's profession. Sadly, my GPU fried in 2020 and I couldn't afford to replace it.
