I learnt about modernist architecture this week at uni, and my lecturer showed us some pre-modernist ornamental architecture, one student asked what the back looked like - the buildings were all photographed from the front - he said “we don’t talk about the back. It’s the back. No one goes there.” And all I could think of was Grian.
@lauraniun3092 reminds me of the French facades we looked at in our art history class, haha. Buildings were very "party in the front, business in the back" because it's practical when your building is only viewed by potential customers from one side. In a crowded city, space is money, and the luxury of open spaces to view a building from multiple sides is very expensive- consider town halls, expensive libraries, universities, etc. Urban sprawl has really changed that perspective.
i think it’s so funny how grian is talking about how copper is too easy to get now and no one feels the need to to buy it anymore… meanwhile in mumbo’s most recent episode he’s happily buying tons of copper and even pleasantly surprised by the fact that they were pre-waxed :P
He also needs to realise no other server uses the "permit" system, or even an economy system for that matter. For the millions of others playing, the added copper blocks is a great addition.
@@markgregory983 I kinda disagree with this, most multiplayer servers have some form of economy, wether it's a shopping district or just regular trading. Copper was already really easy to come by just from the sheer amount you could mine ( basically one of the most common ore ). Having it this abundant turn it into something dirt cheap. I guess it's no big deal for regular multiplayer or solo sessions, but yeah, kinda weird to me to turn something that needed impressive zombie farm to get in bulk into something you could just snatch with a pickaxe already waxed and ready.

My opinion on the copper economy: Expensive blocks don't get used as building materials by the average player. They're a flex, or squirreled away in a chest somewhere. I think making copper more accessible without the use of a drowned farm was part of the goal, because it's another method of getting the player to explore during the early / midgame experience that's very different from the other tasks at that level. It also encourages players to use the cartographer more, and see the other specialty maps they may have ignored (especially with the coming changes to villager distribution). Cont. In making copper more abundant, they're encouraging the player to experiment with a beautiful block- perhaps one of the most versatile ones added to Minecraft. But this also adds value to the block created from raw ore, in the same way raw gold is inherently more valuable as an overworld exclusive.
I haven't a hit a single trial chamber yet and I have a crapton of copper ingots despite making my windows copper grates, my lighting copper bulbs, and shutters copper trapdoors. Personally, I miss the amount of iron we used to have access to, and think that the ore distribution between the two should either be averaged out, or copper armor and tools need to be introduced.
If it was the goal, then I feel like it was unfortuntely rather poorly thought out. The trial chambers are designed to be a repeatable challenge, but giving players an incentive to dig up a huge part of them makes the experience a lot less fun. There's few things worse in the game than constantly getting stuck on the environment as you are trying to fight off a horde of mobs.
@CMDKeenCZ I don't think it's so much an incentive to dig them all up as a different way to acquire a resource, and they're only repeatable up to the point you've exhausted the vaults and pottery, which has a very low chance of giving you a core from just one trial chamber (assuming you are in single-player). I do agree on iron ore distribution though- the mountain biomes feel very rare, and there's something uncomfortable about scarring the landscape removing pockets of ore, rather than "leave no trace" or improvement. The caves feel relatively balanced once you have end-game armor though, so I'm not sure what a better solution would be. I then proceeded to ramble about iron and gold loot from structures, but it wasn't very useful for the conversation.
@@gyrrakavian I feel like copper is treated a lot more like more like a building block. I think this approach is better, because we honestly don't need more armor and tools.

It would have been snowballs if there was a way to automatically replenish them. The point of the machine is to showcase dispensers, targets, and redstone lamps...the chicken burnification is an unfortunate but necessary side effect.
For the water transition, you could open the windows, or a couple, sponge the area outside so the water slopes down like a plug, creating inside waterfalls
Man, I’d love to see a few things in this build. 1. Ruining it a little bit, making it look like time and the ocean has taken its toll on this ancient temple structure. 2. Flood it. Make the water level of the ocean and the inside of the build match to really sell the flooded idea. You could even dangle a conduit from the ceiling to make swimming around in the build more fun. 3. History. When you do make an interior it’d be so fun to see some shrines for what used to be places of worship in ancient times… now where you keep your stock. I think the idea of this ancient temple being revisited in modern times and turned into a stereotyped shop for prismarine… bc it’s made of prismarine. Edit: new idea, around the sides where the ocean meets the temple, some greenery, like moss or sea weed that’s got caught up against the temples rough edges, and under the water surface maybe some barnacles
Ideas for the prismarine palace: - Add some giant (glowing?) prismarine crystals jutting out of the water around the palace. - Add a couple smaller dome buildings next to the main building. - Use blue glass & lowered water levels to make a whirlpool sort of thing around the palace.
You don't even need to make a whirlpool, the big gripe seems to be the transition for the color pallet, blueshifting the materials would probably make it look more underwater
21:00 Reminded how the Warden is an absolute terrifying mob when you go into an Ancient City without knowing about it and how it works. There was a Minecraft series that I watched where the guy was completely clueless on the new content and it was an absolute treat seeing him get absolutely terrified of the Warden. XD
Grian 100% embodying Alex Horne from Task Master as despite being known as “LITTLE ALEX HORNE” he is literally the show runner and makes up all of the tasks
honestly the power dynamic between him and greg simply wouldn't work otherwise. there is a magic there that few of the international editions have captured. edit: the international editions, the "assistant" is, like alex, in a position of power. its just the dynamic itself doesnt seem to work as well.
Related to the way the Prismarine Palace hits the water, it might look nice to remove the glass from the windows and have streams of water flowing down on the inside of the walls. It could also be the entrance to the shop, kinda like what you've done in the top section right now. I know literally nothing about building in Minecraft though, but i just thought i would share the idea.
I was more along the line of including some smaller structures outside the prismarine palace, varying from just some small spires to perhaps a few guardian statues, and then adding a variety of lilly pads and seaweed around to help soften the stark blue color of the water.
I have a few ideas for the prismarine shop :D -Get rid of a few windows to let the water from the outside flow inside the build and make a moat (maybe even make the water running so you can put boats with some items run around the main shop area if you want to play with redstone). -Add a gradient to the bits reaching out of the water's surface to make it look wet, since realisticly the waves would crash up into the posts. -Maybe add some coral and stuff around it to make some terrain. Its actually very common irl for coral reefs to take over abandoned stuff in the ocean, as they have a lot of hidey holes for the fish. -Maybe put a dock on one side for those who dont have elytra to enter the shop with. And there you can make a decent sized sign to tell people what the shops called. Hope these helped if you want :)
I forgot to leave the comment on the other video, but I actually like the longer videos with less cuts. It allows us to see so much more of what is going on behind the scenes. Albeit mostly distractions but I just love the chemistry between the hermits, and the longer videos are in line with the "taking things slowly" thing that Grian's going on right now
I'm sure someone else has told you already as well, but: you can replay trial chambers! You can either just wait, or after a short while, apply the trial omen effect and go at it. It doesn't change the loot in the regular chests (that you've already opened anyway), but it does grant better loot drops from the spawners and it drops the ominous keys.
i like how Grian's adaptation of Taskmaster is accurate, with Grian coming up with the idea and all the tasks like Alex Horne did and then Cub being the Greg Davies of it, being the face and host of the show
It probably won’t look too good in practice, but you could use glass to create a sort of fog around the edge of the Prismarine Palace that falls into the water a bit as well to hide the transition, make it look more mysterious and make the palace look less like it was just placed in the water, and look like it has a purpose. Another idea is adding stuff underneath like rocks, coral and kelp that stick out of the water and are along the edge of the palace to make it feel more integrated into the environment. I feel like that would help it a lot. Just a suggestion but otherwise it’s a great build and can’t wait to see what you do next with it :D
Hey, here’s a suggestion! Add some small structure around the place, like prismarine ruins. And then add foliage around it to tie it in and make it more seamless into the water. Hear me out on this: undersea foliage and stuff would probably grow on the outside and inside of the building. I personally think it’s fairly easy to tell it’s a prismarine shop, considering it’s built entirely out of prismarine.
I agree with adding undersea foliage! Though on the shop part, I think the issue wasn't clarifying that it was for prismarine, but rather making it clear it was a shop instead of another miscellaneous structure. He pointed out that the other locations have signs, like shops do to advertise their goods.
I think that the main thing holding it back is that there’s a beautiful build and then just… Minecraft water. Like, the water’s just so flat and same almost, you know? The sort of intricate detail on the shape and textures of the build and then BAM flat, blue, Minecraft water.
Shop suggestions: 1 - Lichen + something to simulate barnacles around the waterline. 2 - Maybe some pickles scattered on the edge of the roof or on "spurs" sticking out at or just under the water (to simulate corrosion or flaking of the structure and something growing on it). 3 - The pillars should transition to a darker color as they hit the water to show they're wet (like Gem has done on the pillars of the docks and struts around her waterline builds). 4 - If you line the bottom edge of the shop where it hits the water with an extra layer of water source blocks ABOVE the current waterline, it would make the structure seem like it is magically attracting and "pulling" the water up to it + the additional flowing water would add some visual movement around base where it seems too static (and where in reality there would be constant small waves lapping against the side). 5 - On that note, could you hide some soulsand/magma blocks around the seafloor to give the structure a few bubble columns? Not only would that add a nice visual, it could also allow you to include a few underwater entrances on the sea floor at the base of those bubbles.
I'd like to add on: 6 - vines and lilypads along the waterline to show plants latching on 7 - giant magicky prismarine shard floating above the build for that personality 7.5 - or, instead, trap an elder guardian at the top of the build (might not be so good cuz mining fatigue :/) 8 - smaller spires poking out of the water to integrate with the land a bit better
@@juliec.547 #8 especially, part of thr problem is that the build is extremely lonely in the lake at the moment. Building some jagged rocks, sunken ships, etc etc will definitely help give the build it's own atmosphere (which is what a diamond tier shop deserves)
@@DauraTHEEXPLORA Thank you! I will admit that at least part of my motivation for suggestion number 2 was to try and get another Hermit to ask Gem about her pickle shop. I really want to see her reaction if multiple of the other "builder" hermits start using them for decoration.
Grian, I don’t know how often people thank you for this, but THANK YOU for keeping a truly family-friendly channel. It is appreciated more than you know in our current world climate for kid’s and family entertainment. Our whole family watches your channel, and it’s a relief to know that I just don’t have to worry. The best part is, your channel is one of the most fun, and funny. Proving that keeping it clean, doesn’t take away the ability to have an awesome channel. I say this, because I noticed the note in the corner advising that Taskmaster is not an appropriate show for younger viewers, thank you for taking the time.
The thing with copper blocks is, sure the trial chambers undermine the value for the Hermitcraft server, but the majority of people aren't playing on the Hermitcraft server. For us normal MC players the trial chambers just make building with copper an actually legitimate option. Sometimes people don't want to spend all day mining raw copper and would rather actually be able to build the thing they want to build.
It doesn't take that long to mine copper. Copper ore gives you a LOT of raw copper even without a Fortune pickaxe, and they tend to come in large veins instead of one or two blocks like iron does sometimes. The real time sink with copper is oxidising it.
I completely get both sides of this issue with trial Chambers copper and honestly if I could fix it so would I make a toggle for none-droppable blocks in structures which would change the status of the block marked affected by it be unable to drop
People do need to realize that RUclipsrs who spend like 8 hours playing/editing/or researching Minecraft everyday for probably 10+ years will have very different ideas as to what the game needs compared to the average player
@@BlueChadKnight well, my response to most of the "this _insert thing_ is overpowered" crew is... Minecraft is a sandbox game. If you think something is overpowered, don't use it. If you think trail chambers have to much copper, don't mine them out, go caving or build a drowned farm. Same with ither issues, trading halls are overpowered, use villagers "naturaly", mending, infinity, totmes, etc. You can play the game the way you like, even if it isn't the most efficient way
21:53 when will Hermits learn "the Cub way", to keep an Enderchest full of mostly empty shulkers and a silk touch pick in your inventory at all times. It's an infinite backpack.
As some brainstorming for the Prismarine Palace: Water coming through the glass at some points might look like a nice decoration on the inside, gives some movement to the room and even adds an alternative entrance/exit. Some darker colours hitting the sea level and below might look quite nice. Idk why but I think light blue glass above the water level could improve the structure. A guardian pet would be lovely. Gem did some interesting stuff in the waters around your bases, you might get inspired by that as well. Thats all my ideas right know, I hope I helped in some way :)
I feel like this isn't being talked about as much, but that segment at the end of Grian just talking while mining a bit was very nice, and kind of calming. I would love to see more of this.
The rant about Grian not liking Mojang for their spoiling information is exactly what I think of Minecraft. You’re a man of all the people Grian, you know some of us so well!
"rant" friendly man speaking in calm and benevolent tones "not liking mojang" friendly man calmly communicating a minor criticism of a game he's been playing professionally for something like 8 years
Idea for the Prismarine Palace! You could have squid like tentacles in and out of the shop, I know how much you like your narrative so what if the tentacles held up shelves, stocked the store, held up signs outside the shop or held up other smaller shops that are ocean related, following the theming rules you have this season. That way, the building has identify and personality, function for future projects and makes the building look less lonely in the water.
You can change the glass that's under the water to green glass in the prismarine shop so it looks like an algae. It could make a nice transition, but you will have to change the under water prismarine for something greener too.
Grian: “it’s purging time,” My brain: “FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!” If you know, you know. Also I love it how Grian keeps poultry man as part of the lore as a side character and I and I’m sure many others would love to see the man in the chicken costume return.
I kind of want Grian to add a few large tenticles coming out of the water to arch over the shop as well as a large seamonster head / mouth surrounding it like the building is being swallowed. Feels like it fits the theme of an underwater temple shop as it would be like an Ancient Guardian is trying to take revenge.
I love the Taskmaster idea. I'm an American, but that is one of my favorite shows. There's also a nice parallel between Grian and Alex Horne where they are both the ones actually setting everything up for the show behind the scenes, but are taking the role as the assistant for the show.
Two things about the prismarine shop that you may want to consider: 1. Making it look like it fell from the sky and creating glass waves shooting up from the ocean around it like it just fell into the ocean and is spraying water everywhere. Also it helps to give it character and a story. 🤩 2. I know it's already built, but I thought it would be really really cool if the prismarine shop was like a broken colosseum that was a fifth underwater and had like lights on it and waterfalls pouring around and off the sides. I'd go to a shop like that for sure. 😍
i think the palace would look amazing if there was sort of a water ravine around the outside of it, sort of leading outward into the water, like an opposite moat!! with lillypads and coral and other oceany items around it leading inside, and maybe even a ship wreck so it could look like a whirlpool or some other sort of ocean hole like natural disaster :D maybe even some fish around it and custom coral structures, i think a few extra small details like this could really bring it together and make it more blended
8:28 One thing I do to break up the water line on half submerged builds is to add jagged rocks and coral or waterlogged bushes. I've also added like little waterfalls to some of the rocks before just to place some water above the water line. I hate that the water in Minecraft is flat and doesn't have any form of movement unless you mess a bit with it, but i find that these little details just add a bit more to the build.
It won't work, but I would find it funny if he made the underwater part bent. Just like a pencil bends at the water entry point depending on which angle you look at it.
The ‘Taskmaster not suitable for younger viewers’ disclosure brought me so much joy because I will never be able to associate the bleeped bits to the Hermits
Grian has officially gone from resisting 2 governments controlling the shopping district, to the right hand man for the government controlling the shopping district. Im shocked at how few rebellious shenanigans he has done this season ngl
17:11 fun fact, statistically, you have 1 in 3 odds of encountering danger by mining straight down. Meaning 66% of the time you can dig straight down and encounter no damger.
While I think the 1.13 Aquatic update was huge for Minecraft I think 1.16 set a good example of what an update can be, that is adding "worldbuilding" with structures and adding life with a few new mobs. Also I do love the trial chambers, as a feature, as an update I myself won't gain a lot from it. Not too little content necessarily but too isolated as it is one (pretty good) structure.
Grian being the equivalent of 'Little' Alex Horn and Cub being the equivalent of Greg Davies, works almost too well it is kind of scary I believe the biggest reason the Prismarine Palace looks weird is that there is no movement in the water, and seaweed, barnacles, etc. are missing from the underwater parts
Just for anyone interested in Taskmaster - the first few series are censored. As for the later series, the is a Bleeped version of the show on the UK's Channel 4 for those who have access to it. Only the first 11 or 12 series are on RUclips in the UK with all seriea on channel 4. I believe more series are available on RUclips for non UK territories.
If you haven't already decorated it, maybe adding some prism like gems made of white, light blue, cyan, or orange glass, floating over the "Prism-arine" shop could add more life to it, maybe even in the future it could open you up to new permits with gems like amethyst or something
Hey Grian, for your prismarine shop, id like to suggest at the waterline you lower or remove the windows ABOVE the waterline, and perhaps leave a V shape with the lowest middle point allowing water to flow INTO the shop. Like have a column waterfall. Then catch the water at the bottom and use waterlogged stairs all over the floor. I think that might look cool. Maybe even use waterlogged stairs in a sort of pattern or shape so you can see the image when you exit via windcharge
Honestly, i think that the water build would look nice with a small flair going into the waterline and as for its isolated look, maybe add other surrounding water buildings like an Atlantis temple. That idea could also help with a non-elytra entrace (bridges between buildings)
To improve the look of the palace intersecting with the water surface, you can add some floating leaves and lily pads, and maybe have some vines grow up the side of the building. You can even replace some of the glass with light green glass to simulate algae growth. It'll add some color too!
The Trial Chamber spawners reset immediately when you've taken ominous potion, and after 30mins anyway, so you can do the same chamber again as many times as you like. It's the vaults that you can only use once each (per player), but as you didn't use any of the ominous vaults in that particular chamber, they'll all still be available to you. I love the Prismarine shop. Totally worth the effort you put in. Looking forward to your version of Taskmaster, even PG. =)

- Add some giant (glowing?) prismarine crystals jutting out of the water around the palace.
- Add a couple smaller dome buildings next to the main building.
- Use blue glass & lowered water levels to make a whirlpool sort of thing around the palace.
I think maybe having some water features inside and out of the building would be cool too.
Giving off Atlantis the last empire vibes
You don't even need to make a whirlpool, the big gripe seems to be the transition for the color pallet, blueshifting the materials would probably make it look more underwater
Alternatively, some fountains?
And perhaps some lighting, yellow frog lights for a contrast?
21:00 Reminded how the Warden is an absolute terrifying mob when you go into an Ancient City without knowing about it and how it works. There was a Minecraft series that I watched where the guy was completely clueless on the new content and it was an absolute treat seeing him get absolutely terrified of the Warden. XD
Ooooo now im curious about who got blindsided by a warden

Grian 100% embodying Alex Horne from Task Master as despite being known as “LITTLE ALEX HORNE” he is literally the show runner and makes up all of the tasks
honestly the power dynamic between him and greg simply wouldn't work otherwise.
there is a magic there that few of the international editions have captured.
edit: the international editions, the "assistant" is, like alex, in a position of power. its just the dynamic itself doesnt seem to work as well.

Related to the way the Prismarine Palace hits the water, it might look nice to remove the glass from the windows and have streams of water flowing down on the inside of the walls. It could also be the entrance to the shop, kinda like what you've done in the top section right now. I know literally nothing about building in Minecraft though, but i just thought i would share the idea.
This is exactly what I was thinking
Also solves the issue of people not having / forgetting feather falling or elytra
This video is #2 on trending for gaming 💀
Also , adding coral and seaweed on the outside of the palace, as well as adding shallow water that flows into the palace could be a nice touch.
I was more along the line of including some smaller structures outside the prismarine palace, varying from just some small spires to perhaps a few guardian statues, and then adding a variety of lilly pads and seaweed around to help soften the stark blue color of the water.
8:02 I recommend white glass to represent foaming water, suggesting the building is rising out of the water.

As a huge Taskmaster fan, Grian is the perfect person to act as Little Alex Horne.
I have a few ideas for the prismarine shop :D
-Get rid of a few windows to let the water from the outside flow inside the build and make a moat (maybe even make the water running so you can put boats with some items run around the main shop area if you want to play with redstone).
-Add a gradient to the bits reaching out of the water's surface to make it look wet, since realisticly the waves would crash up into the posts.
-Maybe add some coral and stuff around it to make some terrain. Its actually very common irl for coral reefs to take over abandoned stuff in the ocean, as they have a lot of hidey holes for the fish.
-Maybe put a dock on one side for those who dont have elytra to enter the shop with. And there you can make a decent sized sign to tell people what the shops called.
Hope these helped if you want :)
These are all wonderful ideas
Replying so the chances of Grian seeing this comment increases
These are cool ideas!
These are all very nice ideas, hope he sees this
I forgot to leave the comment on the other video, but I actually like the longer videos with less cuts. It allows us to see so much more of what is going on behind the scenes. Albeit mostly distractions but I just love the chemistry between the hermits, and the longer videos are in line with the "taking things slowly" thing that Grian's going on right now
Grian: trial chambers aren’t fun to watch
Grian’s gameplay: mining copper blocks
I'm sure someone else has told you already as well, but: you can replay trial chambers! You can either just wait, or after a short while, apply the trial omen effect and go at it. It doesn't change the loot in the regular chests (that you've already opened anyway), but it does grant better loot drops from the spawners and it drops the ominous keys.
I can't wait to hear Grian say "All the informations in the task", when they ask questions.
I can't wait for someone to somehow tie Grian up, making a task impossible to fail.
@@picklerick2861 going to be honest was going to reference a moment but all I could think of was a certain cake task that just doesn't work AT ALL
I want someone to heartbreakingly fail a task like the potato throw. And beg Grian for mercy, just for him to take the points away
I got one!
I want someone to take months practicing and perfecting a skill (yknow like hula hooping) in preparation only for them to fail it when live
I hope all the contestants to bring in pudding.
i like how Grian's adaptation of Taskmaster is accurate, with Grian coming up with the idea and all the tasks like Alex Horne did and then Cub being the Greg Davies of it, being the face and host of the show
I love it too, except he put the smaller chair on the wrong side. 😅
Fr 😂
I don't know this series but Grian doesn't realize that most of the Hermitcraft audience are already adults.
"Prismapalace" you say? Queen of the ocean would be so proud of it
That’s what I thought when I saw it
Exactly my thoughts
Thats exactly what I thought when I saw it lol (also you pfp is amazing)
Idea: remove the water around the palace like it’s a giant conduct
I miss Lizzie
It probably won’t look too good in practice, but you could use glass to create a sort of fog around the edge of the Prismarine Palace that falls into the water a bit as well to hide the transition, make it look more mysterious and make the palace look less like it was just placed in the water, and look like it has a purpose.
Another idea is adding stuff underneath like rocks, coral and kelp that stick out of the water and are along the edge of the palace to make it feel more integrated into the environment. I feel like that would help it a lot.
Just a suggestion but otherwise it’s a great build and can’t wait to see what you do next with it :D
Oohh good idea!!
Hey, here’s a suggestion! Add some small structure around the place, like prismarine ruins. And then add foliage around it to tie it in and make it more seamless into the water.
Hear me out on this: undersea foliage and stuff would probably grow on the outside and inside of the building.
I personally think it’s fairly easy to tell it’s a prismarine shop, considering it’s built entirely out of prismarine.
I agree with adding undersea foliage! Though on the shop part, I think the issue wasn't clarifying that it was for prismarine, but rather making it clear it was a shop instead of another miscellaneous structure. He pointed out that the other locations have signs, like shops do to advertise their goods.
And a sea snail
If the underwater is lit up a bit more, then it could break up the water line on the side of the building.
I think that the main thing holding it back is that there’s a beautiful build and then just… Minecraft water. Like, the water’s just so flat and same almost, you know? The sort of intricate detail on the shape and textures of the build and then BAM flat, blue, Minecraft water.
@@user-kw5jl5wt9f Definitely agree.
Grian's slow realization that Tango's shop was killing chickens was great.
Shop suggestions:
1 - Lichen + something to simulate barnacles around the waterline.
2 - Maybe some pickles scattered on the edge of the roof or on "spurs" sticking out at or just under the water (to simulate corrosion or flaking of the structure and something growing on it).
3 - The pillars should transition to a darker color as they hit the water to show they're wet (like Gem has done on the pillars of the docks and struts around her waterline builds).
4 - If you line the bottom edge of the shop where it hits the water with an extra layer of water source blocks ABOVE the current waterline, it would make the structure seem like it is magically attracting and "pulling" the water up to it + the additional flowing water would add some visual movement around base where it seems too static (and where in reality there would be constant small waves lapping against the side).
5 - On that note, could you hide some soulsand/magma blocks around the seafloor to give the structure a few bubble columns? Not only would that add a nice visual, it could also allow you to include a few underwater entrances on the sea floor at the base of those bubbles.
I'd like to add on:
6 - vines and lilypads along the waterline to show plants latching on
7 - giant magicky prismarine shard floating above the build for that personality
7.5 - or, instead, trap an elder guardian at the top of the build (might not be so good cuz mining fatigue :/)
8 - smaller spires poking out of the water to integrate with the land a bit better
@@juliec.547 #8 especially, part of thr problem is that the build is extremely lonely in the lake at the moment. Building some jagged rocks, sunken ships, etc etc will definitely help give the build it's own atmosphere (which is what a diamond tier shop deserves)
Get this to the top
@@DauraTHEEXPLORA Thank you! I will admit that at least part of my motivation for suggestion number 2 was to try and get another Hermit to ask Gem about her pickle shop. I really want to see her reaction if multiple of the other "builder" hermits start using them for decoration.
Grian, I don’t know how often people thank you for this, but THANK YOU for keeping a truly family-friendly channel. It is appreciated more than you know in our current world climate for kid’s and family entertainment. Our whole family watches your channel, and it’s a relief to know that I just don’t have to worry. The best part is, your channel is one of the most fun, and funny. Proving that keeping it clean, doesn’t take away the ability to have an awesome channel.
I say this, because I noticed the note in the corner advising that Taskmaster is not an appropriate show for younger viewers, thank you for taking the time.
The buildup and tension to Grian saying "It's purging time" was amazing, one of the best moments in cinematic history!
🙄
I like when he said "it's purging time" and he purged all over the place.
...this is the only time this joke actually describes what happened--
Loving the new cinematic intros ❤
Same
couldn't agree more!
Same. They are so cool.
bro its literally been 1 minute since release
There amazing
The thing with copper blocks is, sure the trial chambers undermine the value for the Hermitcraft server, but the majority of people aren't playing on the Hermitcraft server. For us normal MC players the trial chambers just make building with copper an actually legitimate option. Sometimes people don't want to spend all day mining raw copper and would rather actually be able to build the thing they want to build.
It doesn't take that long to mine copper. Copper ore gives you a LOT of raw copper even without a Fortune pickaxe, and they tend to come in large veins instead of one or two blocks like iron does sometimes. The real time sink with copper is oxidising it.
I completely get both sides of this issue with trial Chambers copper and honestly if I could fix it so would I make a toggle for none-droppable blocks in structures which would change the status of the block marked affected by it be unable to drop
People do need to realize that RUclipsrs who spend like 8 hours playing/editing/or researching Minecraft everyday for probably 10+ years will have very different ideas as to what the game needs compared to the average player
@@BlueChadKnight well, my response to most of the "this _insert thing_ is overpowered" crew is... Minecraft is a sandbox game. If you think something is overpowered, don't use it. If you think trail chambers have to much copper, don't mine them out, go caving or build a drowned farm. Same with ither issues, trading halls are overpowered, use villagers "naturaly", mending, infinity, totmes, etc. You can play the game the way you like, even if it isn't the most efficient way
The devaluation of the copper permit doesn’t really sound like something mojang should consider no. Lol.
That imitation was so funny😂 3:50 😂😂
21:53 when will Hermits learn "the Cub way", to keep an Enderchest full of mostly empty shulkers and a silk touch pick in your inventory at all times. It's an infinite backpack.
Grian:
I don't like that, Tango
Also Grian:
Here, 1 diamond as a tip
Idk why, but seeing Grian doing the water build gave my crazy nostalgia of the water base in EVO, and also the ship in the bottle from season 6
I think we should all recognize that Grian's helmet trim looks like snail eye stocks when he uses elytra
Grian: “1.21 is the best update we’ve had since the aquatic update”
1.16 nether update: …
I came here to say this
1.14 1.16 1.18 are all better lol
As some brainstorming for the Prismarine Palace:
Water coming through the glass at some points might look like a nice decoration on the inside, gives some movement to the room and even adds an alternative entrance/exit.
Some darker colours hitting the sea level and below might look quite nice.
Idk why but I think light blue glass above the water level could improve the structure.
A guardian pet would be lovely.
Gem did some interesting stuff in the waters around your bases, you might get inspired by that as well.
Thats all my ideas right know, I hope I helped in some way :)
I feel like this isn't being talked about as much, but that segment at the end of Grian just talking while mining a bit was very nice, and kind of calming. I would love to see more of this.
I completely agree! It was very lovely.
16:37 The fact that one of grains card effects is "start a war" is sending me
The rant about Grian not liking Mojang for their spoiling information is exactly what I think of Minecraft. You’re a man of all the people Grian, you know some of us so well!
Grian never said he doesn't like Mojang.
"rant"
friendly man speaking in calm and benevolent tones
"not liking mojang"
friendly man calmly communicating a minor criticism of a game he's been playing professionally for something like 8 years

@@aggravatedassaultduck
_what_
Bot@@lFunGuyl
Almost like the purge is coming inside of me
Idea for the Prismarine Palace! You could have squid like tentacles in and out of the shop, I know how much you like your narrative so what if the tentacles held up shelves, stocked the store, held up signs outside the shop or held up other smaller shops that are ocean related, following the theming rules you have this season. That way, the building has identify and personality, function for future projects and makes the building look less lonely in the water.
You can change the glass that's under the water to green glass in the prismarine shop so it looks like an algae. It could make a nice transition, but you will have to change the under water prismarine for something greener too.
Grian: “it’s purging time,”
My brain: “FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!”
If you know, you know.
Also I love it how Grian keeps poultry man as part of the lore as a side character and I and I’m sure many others would love to see the man in the chicken costume return.
Grian: It's common courtesy to make your shops accessible without flying
Zedeph: [malicious laughter]
I kind of want Grian to add a few large tenticles coming out of the water to arch over the shop as well as a large seamonster head / mouth surrounding it like the building is being swallowed.
Feels like it fits the theme of an underwater temple shop as it would be like an Ancient Guardian is trying to take revenge.
Might be stealing Gem's thunder, though.
i think that would probably help the smooth the transition between the water and the building, really cool idea!
cool but as someone said gem literally just did that lol
I love the Taskmaster idea. I'm an American, but that is one of my favorite shows.
There's also a nice parallel between Grian and Alex Horne where they are both the ones actually setting everything up for the show behind the scenes, but are taking the role as the assistant for the show.
Grian using Tiger Tracks (the song) 6:30 was a pleasant surprize
The music in time with the the sun flashing 6:40 is really underrated.
Something I’d love to see with the Trial Chambers is someone disassemble one, and build their own chambers around the existing spawners
I'm sure IBXToycat would do something like that. IIrc he's already destroyed one so that might be on the slates
I think ZloyXP (from the HermitCraft Recap) is doing that in the Truly Bedrock SMP!
funny thing is i’m doing this exact thing on my survival world lol
False mentioned doing something like that in her video 👀
Does anyone else appreciate that Grian is subtly avoiding buildings that have backs?
Just like how I'm subtly avoiding ladies that don't have much back.
@@lubomirkompis9441 wtf
Two things about the prismarine shop that you may want to consider:
1. Making it look like it fell from the sky and creating glass waves shooting up from the ocean around it like it just fell into the ocean and is spraying water everywhere. Also it helps to give it character and a story. 🤩
2. I know it's already built, but I thought it would be really really cool if the prismarine shop was like a broken colosseum that was a fifth underwater and had like lights on it and waterfalls pouring around and off the sides. I'd go to a shop like that for sure. 😍
It’s adorable to hear you praising Mumbo so much, I’m sure he’s folding in on himself like origami watching this episode lol
The permit office has to be one of my favourite plot lines of all time
19:43 "...seeing how many copper blocks I will acquire from a few minutes mining in here"
xisuma left the game
😂😂
11:05 I immediately thought you should make it have a water splash look. As if it just fell into the water. Could be interesting.
I love how Grian says “cubby wubby cub cub” so much😂 Edit: y’all I just left wtf happened
I couldn’t help but smile and think, grian is sounding more and more like skizz by the day
Who wants to bet Scar will enjoy the prismarine exit so much he'll end up smacking into the ceiling and explode?
i think the palace would look amazing if there was sort of a water ravine around the outside of it, sort of leading outward into the water, like an opposite moat!! with lillypads and coral and other oceany items around it leading inside, and maybe even a ship wreck so it could look like a whirlpool or some other sort of ocean hole like natural disaster :D maybe even some fish around it and custom coral structures, i think a few extra small details like this could really bring it together and make it more blended
Kinda what I was thinking too :D
8:28
One thing I do to break up the water line on half submerged builds is to add jagged rocks and coral or waterlogged bushes. I've also added like little waterfalls to some of the rocks before just to place some water above the water line. I hate that the water in Minecraft is flat and doesn't have any form of movement unless you mess a bit with it, but i find that these little details just add a bit more to the build.
It won't work, but I would find it funny if he made the underwater part bent. Just like a pencil bends at the water entry point depending on which angle you look at it.
The ‘Taskmaster not suitable for younger viewers’ disclosure brought me so much joy because I will never be able to associate the bleeped bits to the Hermits
Grian has officially gone from resisting 2 governments controlling the shopping district, to the right hand man for the government controlling the shopping district.
Im shocked at how few rebellious shenanigans he has done this season ngl
The idea is that he's rebelling from the inside by being an ineffective worker
look, he's not always trying to overthrow a government. Sometimes he just wants to start a subterranean society of mole people
@@sorin_markov ah I see
17:11 fun fact, statistically, you have 1 in 3 odds of encountering danger by mining straight down. Meaning 66% of the time you can dig straight down and encounter no damger.
I loved when Grian said, “It’s purging time” and then purged all over the shopping district
While I think the 1.13 Aquatic update was huge for Minecraft I think 1.16 set a good example of what an update can be, that is adding "worldbuilding" with structures and adding life with a few new mobs.
Also I do love the trial chambers, as a feature, as an update I myself won't gain a lot from it. Not too little content necessarily but too isolated as it is one (pretty good) structure.
Anybody else think Grian's helmet looks like a Loki helm? He's always had Loki vibes, but now he's wearing the helm.
Yes, and the fact both have tan office uniforms.
Oh my gosh I just realized that
lowkey loki vibes ngl
Your little ghast sound sounded so adorable for no good reason.
Grian being the equivalent of 'Little' Alex Horn and Cub being the equivalent of Greg Davies, works almost too well it is kind of scary
I believe the biggest reason the Prismarine Palace looks weird is that there is no movement in the water, and seaweed, barnacles, etc. are missing from the underwater parts
All grian needs is him iPad/clipboard
Just for anyone interested in Taskmaster - the first few series are censored. As for the later series, the is a Bleeped version of the show on the UK's Channel 4 for those who have access to it. Only the first 11 or 12 series are on RUclips in the UK with all seriea on channel 4. I believe more series are available on RUclips for non UK territories.
Every time I see “Prismarine Palace” in your titles I get Lizzy’s “In my palace of Prisssssmarine” song in my head! I love it!
If you haven't already decorated it, maybe adding some prism like gems made of white, light blue, cyan, or orange glass, floating over the "Prism-arine" shop could add more life to it, maybe even in the future it could open you up to new permits with gems like amethyst or something
Hey Grian, for your prismarine shop, id like to suggest at the waterline you lower or remove the windows ABOVE the waterline, and perhaps leave a V shape with the lowest middle point allowing water to flow INTO the shop. Like have a column waterfall. Then catch the water at the bottom and use waterlogged stairs all over the floor.
I think that might look cool. Maybe even use waterlogged stairs in a sort of pattern or shape so you can see the image when you exit via windcharge
10:25 Not only is there a war brewing, but now the chickens are under attack. Where's a superhero when you need one?
real question is how many shops will 'magically' reappear but with a few more permanent blocks
Honestly, i think that the water build would look nice with a small flair going into the waterline and as for its isolated look, maybe add other surrounding water buildings like an Atlantis temple. That idea could also help with a non-elytra entrace (bridges between buildings)
To improve the look of the palace intersecting with the water surface, you can add some floating leaves and lily pads, and maybe have some vines grow up the side of the building. You can even replace some of the glass with light green glass to simulate algae growth. It'll add some color too!
The Trial Chamber spawners reset immediately when you've taken ominous potion, and after 30mins anyway, so you can do the same chamber again as many times as you like. It's the vaults that you can only use once each (per player), but as you didn't use any of the ominous vaults in that particular chamber, they'll all still be available to you.
I love the Prismarine shop. Totally worth the effort you put in. Looking forward to your version of Taskmaster, even PG. =)
