Supervising the Hermitcraft Nether Hub Building! Stream VOD

- Published on Mar 12, 2026
- Gem and friends are working on the nether hub tunnels in hermitcraft!
Skins in thumb are just the random ones I had on hand, lots of hermits worked on this, and I appreciate all of them :D
I think every tunnel should turn towards Keralis. You know, since all roads lead to Rome.
I love this!
YES
I agree with this.
Wait, Keralis lives in Rome?
THATS SO FUNNY YES
Delighted that Joe could just start reciting the Illiad off the dome.
Im surprised he can do that, but I would have been equally surprised if he couldn’t. It’s just Joe !
I had to look up what the Iliad is, but after reading the description, yeah, that's Joe. I'm not even surprised
can u say when? timestamp?
@aaareonjaems6836 When they were all talking at the same time. Somewhere after 1:32:10
That’s the Joe Hills Difference™
I like how, when Ren says they could just mine quartz, everyone is like "yea... I have to water my pet rock..."
1:58:05 if anyone was wondering
*1:58:25
isnt that one of grians excuses for being late for streams sometimes?
@forest.02. Wouldn't doubt it lmao, he comes up with the craziest excuses
Love that Gem can get all these hermits together so easily as both God's favorite princess and the Hermits favorite princess!!
Truth!!
55:33 - Gem turning around to find that Grian has replaced himself with an armor stand was the hardest I've laughed in weeks.
Your not the only one that just a grain moment there
I keep on noticing her giving Brian significant looks, next thing I know, looks him straight in the eyes, dumps him off a scaffolding, turns away a sec, looks back to find an armor stand with his head on it. Came to the comments to say wth? Found my people.
I love how ren always ask so many questions and starts convos he's like an news interviewer
I love friends like that who ask you questions and are genuinely interested in hearing about the things you're getting up to
he looks like one too irl
which shocked me so much because, while i never imagined what he would look like, he somehow doesn't look like his voice (but at the same time, he does look like it?? idk lol)
What does NC stand for?
Etho: "New York?"
New Canadia
that's my RUclipsr!!!
Etho unmuted after an hour to say this.
North Carolina?????
Everytime Gem zoomed in on Grian's face when he was getting in her way while building. I just imagined her minecraft skin's eyes narrowing 😭😭
I'd like, but funny number /silly
@ladysilkwing completely fair 69 and 420 are numbers i cannot mess up when i see them on social media 😭😭
43:25 Gem~ 'I didn't mean for it to be condescending!!!'
Cleo~ 'That's my superpower Gem, I can make anything sound condescending!'
oh wow, so Etho has Aphantasia (the inability to visualize stuff in his head)
That actually explains so much about the trial and error of his building style. It actually gives me a lot more appreciation for his builds.
It seems so strange that peoples' minds can work in such fundamentally different ways from eachother.
That's not what he said
@TheBloopers30 didn’t he say he can’t see pictures in his head
Impulse has that too
He mentioned it on stream.
@TheBloopers30 no picture in head = aphantasia
I can't see pictures in my head and I'm a trial and error builder. I also read a ton even though I can't picture it.
Ren going on & on about the “Gurgle” when Minecraft just announced last week that is the new name for the baby Drowned. Poor guy 😂
I was wondering if anyone else was going to catch that. But it seemed to go over everyone's head, so much so that i thought i was just imagining it being named that. Lol
I was so mad! His gurgle idea was awesome.
I watched this when it came out on youtube and just today found put the baby drowned is bow called the gurgle. Now I wonder if ren was trolling or not lol!
@t@tonyace87 No, I really don’t think any of them knew about it. Might not still. It was a very small mention from Mojang most people didn’t see.
Nether: I offer a shorter distance to your personal portal and you won't need to fly all the way across the overworld.
Gem: (flies all the way across the overworld)
I think they broke the portals in the nether
"I'm old, compared to our audience!" checking birth certificate and seeing 1964 OKAY
'67 here. I feel like they're all kids/grandkids :D
@catsandcrafts171
Lmao
😂😂😂
04 here, not the oldest but I'm almost 22 so def not a teenager like a lot of the audience haha!! 😂
It feels so weird that as a teen my mind keeps thinking that only kids and teens play games and adults don't and only we r the ones watching these videos, all cuz that's the kind of society I grew up in. And yet I feel so happy to see older people watching these videos. Even with perfectly knowing that even as I grow up to the ages you guys are in video games will still be a very big part of my life. (Gonna be a legal adult (18) this year) :)
Oh _please_ make sure Bdubs’ armor stand is like 0.9x the normal size!
This is an incredible idea
oh i so hope this happens
NO!!
Yes!!!!!
@darthseverus89 yes
13:06 you could say that running out of quartz was a road block.
I'll see myself out.
I like u plz don’t explode
XD
You can't. The path towards the exit is still unfinished.
Peak dad joke, hope you have a great day☺
oh damn thats GOOD
6:20 Gem: "I'll get some retherrack"
Also Gem: *exits the nether*
When you get round to building the dragons, your episode title needs to be called 'Here be Dragons'.
"here be dragons" is the only thing I was thinking about during her dragon tangent
57:00 Geminitay the professional minecraft youtuber translator. First with scar a now ren 😂
Also she knew that Skizz’s Eefo was supposed to be Etho in guess the build!
22:30 I haven't seen a chat's hopes and dreams rise and fall as quickly as this in a long time XD
I think some DnD off camera will be nice for Gem. Even though they were doing their best not to let chat influence them or hinder the session, it's nice to just play something and not have to think about an audience at all
She said today she really enjoys imagining what she's reading. TTRPG's, depending on who you're playing with, can be a lot of that, with the added benefit of multiple perspectives. I agree, especially after an endeavor like the nether hub, some planned personal time would be valuable.
I do hope she (along with the other hermits intend to stream DnD again). I am glad she is enjoying it on her own though.
There are definitely some mechanical kinks to work out with playing DnD, and tie that with the mechanics of streaming it, and performing for an audience (and you players in character), and it taking so much time, etc. etc. it makes sense that she is doing it on her own time.
1:29:02 I’m calling it, Ethos into photography. That man has a a whole collection of cameras we don’t know about.
Only film cameras though. None of those newfangled digital ones.
One of those old cameras with flashes that use single use, disposable bulbs
I love whoever started reading out the Iliad during the speaking chaos
That was Joe lol the most Joe thing ever
All I could think about when they were talking about the secret projects while working on the tunnels is, 🎵Secret Tunnel, Secret tunnel 🎵
Yeah but I can't seem to remember from where I remember that but it's like very distinct in my memory
@kanakchotia6205 avatar the last airbender!
I have found my crochet stream for today. Today, I am working on a scarf for my bestie.
that sounds very cozy
Same... I'm knitting a scarf, and this is the perfect background stream
Same but I’m crocheting a beanie :D
no way im literally crocheting a blanket rn loll
I‘m also working on a crochet blanket while watching 😊😊 glad to know I‘m in good company ❤
Love seeing a big group of hermits together working on a project
I was watching on twitch but now no ads!
I know! Im excited to see what parts i missed lol, twistch was also being super buggy for me so i missed a ton :(
I wasn't even notified when this was streamed on twitch 😭
Same
2:15:51 gem, I have aphantasia (no pictures in head thing), and I love reading. I typically find myself bored with really long descriptions but otherwise it’s great.
I also have aphantasia and while I do love reading also, I'm in the boat of really struggling to engage with them if I don't have an audiobook alongside it. I don't know what it is about that which just makes it a lot easier, I guess maybe I can use more of my brain power to think about references? (I can't picture it but if I can attribute the description to a place that I've seen or been then it does help place the rest of the scene)
I have mild-ish aphantasia so I can kinda make out the vague shape and space something takes up, but I LOVE reading! I do also skip over long winded explanations on details, but I just enjoy getting invested in the story. I think the fact that I always kinda narrate my own life helps me better grasp what people are doing in the books tho.
I’m the same! I love reading (read over 100 book last year lol) but character/world descriptions can be hard for me to remember since I can’t picture it
I have visual aphantasia and same! (I can kinetically imagine things)
I have a horrible in-between of being able to imagine visually, but everything moves or shifts without my control
like I'll imagine what's being described and then aspects of it will shift away from the description
its me. im the avid reader that can’t see anything in my head. as to gem saying “whats the point if you dont see a movie”, well i didn’t even know people typically see movies when they read until like last year. to me the question is “why would i bother reading if its just like watching a movie?” they are two completely different experiences for me and i love it like that.
Ya, same. I read to pass the time. And cause I want to know what is going to happen or to learn. Not because I see it.
Seeing things like a movie as you read is sometimes so trippy. Sometimes I'd talk to a someone about a movie book adoptation and I got details mixed up because I can envision what I read.
Ah interesting. I find myself getting lost in my imagination sometimes while reading. Especially if the setting is in a room and they're by the window or something, I imagine the room's layout, the colours, the curtains, the lighting, then I forget where I was reading lol. Anne Rice's books especially cuz she spends so much time detailing the rooms the characters are in.
Gem was temporarily possessed by the spirit of Gaston smh
for me i get brief flashes of slightly more vivid imagery (usually of still scenery) that are more vivid than even my memories solely when im reading which is also such a unique experience
So I think it would be amazing if you set your villagers up like they are members of your royal court, and they get a section of the castle to just run around and they have their own rooms and such
That mic audio sounds very good for a channel that apparently has no compressor.
good voice projection goes a long way, knowin how to talk to a mic type shi
46:36 Fun fact! It looks like a few people mentioned this in chat, but the baby drowned is actually already called the gurgle, which may be why it sounds so Minecraft-y.
"i drink death wish" no wonder he can pulverise a mountain and give everyone anything they could ask for
OH SO FRRR
I think it would be cool if Joel had a unicorn blasting rainbow, and you had a dragon blasting fire at the rainbow, as if Joel's area is encroaching on yours, and the dragons are fighting against it.
yesss
so hear me out. Calibrated skulk sensor in the dragon set to pick up the sound of rockets firing connected to a noteblock with an incredibly loud dragon's roar....
2 and a half hours of hermit banter, we are being SPOILED RN
52:03 baby Grian appeared in construction site and just keep stares.
Lol put a double layer of obsidian around Karalis's portal. He would be so confused. 🤣
oh man i have lasagna and tea and now i get to watch a geminitay vod
maybe im god’s favorite princess??
Second there's no overtaking Gem
Tru that
2:29:21 It's so weird hearing Gem say that she's taking inspo from a place I've been to just casually for the day numerous times 😂😅
1:04:46 When you brought up tea a couple minutes before this I paused and got up and went and made myself one, then came back to continue listening only for you to say this and I had to pause again to go put my clown shoes on
These types of streams bring me so much joy. Just love when the hermits do stuff together.
Secret tunnel! For secret project! Through the neither!
1:32:40
"its entirely possible"
xB's blinks are so cute!
has anyone noticed that Joe started to recite the Iliad nearly word for word....? Just me...?
Not a thought going on between grians eyes... then the switch out with a armour stand was just perfect
I love Ren essentially interviewing Gem about how the project has been going 💀
Continuously watching Gem fly to her base through the overworld and only going back through the nether instead of going through the nether both ways is driving me insane 😂
i have aphantasia and i love reading, especially fantasy. i think it makes me extra delighted to watch adaptations too, cause i don't have that thing where you have an already imagined look for the characters, the actors become the characters' faces for me seamlessly
For west do a orange banner so it’s easier to see perhaps
Ren is just keeping the conversation alive by interviewing gem like whenever it gets akward there a question lined up
I remember the season 3 "professional Minecrafters" nearly drowning in a hole together moment 😂
Absolutely love these bigger groups of Hermits working on projects together. Especially with Hermits that we don’t usually see on a regular basis when it comes to server projects.
Hopefully, streams like these continue after the hub is complete.
Ren: What about , like, Garfield. :::long awkward silence::: XB: Go on...
Nothing is more entertaining than the hermits' banter!
2:20:40
What a interaction out of context
"Get naked first"
"We need a bed"
i joined the stream while at a volleyball tournament but i couldn’t watch so i’ve been waiting all dayyy for this notification
My absolute favorite part of this stream is watching gem take the main portal and fly to her base.
2:23:48 Of course Etho mentions his Boat Boy
all i heard when they were talking over each other was a very loud animal crossing villager
You and joel should make terrain where the rainbows and shadows are colliding and it looks like theyre almost breaking the world
That was one of my favourite streams, I love the hermits just chatting about random stuff
wait im so glad etho wanted the penguin too. everyone called me crazy for wanting it. justice for pingu
have no picture in my head ( aphantasia ) and I love to read. I read more than anyone else I know.
For me it is more about the characters.
As a reader who does not see pictures, yeah it’s kinda sad but I still get very immersed with whatever I’m reading! (I can imagine an “aura” of things in a way but no actual pictures)
This made my day. Thanks, Hermits. Never change.
56:30 I just went to Cleo’s video of the moment, and poor X sounded miserable it was hilarious!
this was nice stream, everyone chipped in and made epic progress. well done
I think she should do each dragon a different color on theme, like one red, one white, and one black. The red one can be the one near the mountain range breathing fire, the white one can be the one curled on the roof in a strong contrast against the red roof, and the third can be the black dragon swooping down in a dive
An all purpose vaulted room in castle life was often called a great hall
I know it's not going to happen soon and I'm unsure why I'm reminded of watching this, but I can't wait for the next episode of your Skyblock.
Been really loving these hermit craft streams! I’m recovering from the flu right now and this is very comforting, esp with the big group! Thanks Gem for the awesome stream :)
Literally one minute ago I turned on notifications to be notified of this VOD.
a pose idea is a dragon being perched on top of something? like, upright sitting, chest puffed out, and the head craned to look at something so the pose is a bit more dynamic and not so stiff, and the wings could be either tugged onto it‘s sides or one maybe stretched as to balance or smth ( ´ ▽ ` )
also,, i absolutely love the nether hub & streams like this where it’s lots of chatting \(^ヮ^)/
omg yessss priory of the orange tree is so good!!! im glad you're having fun with it
53:17 G watching Gem work with out saying or doing anything is such a sibling moment
I think they need a feature called a chisel and it makes concrete into shape like stairs, vertical slabs, horizontal slabs, and whatever else
Etho doing spin attacks in Ren’s hat was beautiful
53:12 "I don't see that pickaxe moving Grian (Skizz) HAHAH flashbacks to that nether hub stream with Skizz and Tango helping Gem out
gem i actually squealed hearing you say your reading priory of the orange tree, that's literally my favourite book ever its so good!!
So not only do my dreams have full audio and are in color, but I can also read in my dreams.
i’m a reader with no pictures. i kinda just get absorbed into the words because i get the idea of what’s going on, but i cannot visualize it. i also think i read faster because i do not see the picture in my head as i go so it doesn’t slow me
I have aphantasia and read A LOT. How it’s written in the book is exactly how my brain works normally, so it’s not boring or anything, is just my normal
I know you said no rainbow dragons and I respect that. That being said, how cool would it be if there was this super clear border between your base and Joel's and there's a dragon flying over it and on your side he's grey and black and on Joel's side he's super colourful. As if everything in Joel's base automatically gets blasted with colour :ooooo
I can’t wait for the dragons. Love what you’re doing Gem
You could have a dragon attacking Joel's base. His base could have some rainbow-tech defenses that either turn the fire to rainbow or just shield from it.
It's slightly triggering that the purple and yellow tunnels only have 3 block gaps in the pattern when the other two have 7, not just cause they're different but also because there's too much visual noise when you fly through them
i love listening to the hermits like a podcast
When a book is so good, I can actually literally see and feel what’s happening, I don’t comprehend that I’m reading words on paper, I’ve almost missed a flight because I was reading in the airport and legitimately forgot where I was physically.
You could give Tango that Dragon flying surrounded by a few smaller underling dragons or younger dragons Maybe to show they live up there. and then go down to your castle.
47:21 ren wants the whale, bubbie, from the misadventures of flapjack but as a ghost like creature
For some reason, I could imagine this steampunk submarine type thing made out of copper, or some kind of copper golem type thing in the shape of a whale or a happy ghast.
i have aphantasia and i LOVE to read! i get immersed in the world but not in the same way as everything else. reading is amazing, but i dont tend to get caught up in visual details
to be fair to the cinemas they make practically nothing off the ticket price unless they book the film for a long time
the "no picture in brain" thing is called aphantasia! i have it too, and i love reading :)
Everyone needs to game with an XB friend!
As someone who’s been watching Hermitcraft for 5 seasons so far, this is my absolute favorite nether hub. It’s so beautiful, gem did such an incredible job on this.
ngl i also started getting up when Gem said tea 😔 it triggered the tea cravings
I'm working on house chores and a computer game that's very hands off, I plan to watch every minute of this. It is so easy to watch and just offer all the love and support. I like than Ren is the Source/Sauce of Whimsy with his epic hat.
Minecraft needs to have a saddle enchantment call wind speed which increases the speed of the happy ghast which u can obtain from a trial chamber or a nether structure
i know it was a bit but you guys talking about gettign a cup of tea made me want a cup. I'm not even british and i like tea
Touché
Bruh the nether hub looks so pretty i love it so much
Thanks to Hypno 😤🫣
