First rule of "Fork Club"? We don't talk about "Fork Club" Second rule of "Fork Club"? NO SPOONS!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="836">13:56</a> made me jump because she got riptide there and still rerolled Then I realized she’s looking for 1 and not 2

There is something really funny about the contrast between joel breaking into gem’s base and leaving that unsettling sheep armor stand with that dramatic and vague invite message versus gem just sending cub a chill invite letter that lets him know exactly what it's about

"Instead of waiting for the inspiration to hit me, I decided to hit it." Checks out and is also great life advice.

This is like the hermit craft equivalent of a Pokémon gym

A sound byte of Joel saying “Gem never likes my jokes,” would make a REALLY good custom horn.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="810">13:30</a> “I’m gonna get cozy with a village in a little hole here” Cub can get so many from Ren 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="758">12:38</a> "this is my whole life ren, i cant move on with my episode until i get riptide one" im getting grian flashbacks

Gem and Ren - there's a duo the world had been sorely deprived of till now

You could have the floor of the fight club covered in slabs and then have some red stone underneath to randomly select a dispenser to dispense water for your fight club

Every time Gem is peacefully decorating with music, I consistently prepare myself for someone to interrupt her XD

The use of Riptide with mini waterfalls in the arena is absolute genius Gem! it fully utilizes the trident’s full potential💯💯

Gem, you should make the entire trident areana under water with a conduit, and it will be like yall are mermaids when you are fighting!

A secret entrance through your storage area that only you have access to would be an awesome way to make a wrestler-style grand entrance into a fight.

Honestly, water dripping from the roof would probably be so good for the ambiance and maybe help with using the trident in more places

Me: I should do my homework Gem:Uploads Me: Never mind this is MUCH better

To be honest, I think the fighting arena would also look amazing if it was bubble-shaped!!

i love how the pillars are so similar so Joel's even almost exactly the same but different materials ig, it really shows and embraces how its actually one fight club just different arena's like Gem said. ANYWAYS U ARE A GENIUS GEM!! fight club!!

Cub is a great choice to invite. I can see him really sinking his teeth into making his own arena and inviting others to keep the club moving. Can't wait for the trident testing

Could waterlogging half slabs be an idea? So you can use riptide from the floor and not just in the water? And maybe get some depth stride boots for speeed?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="279">4:39</a> Shiny duo

I feel like you could play with adding or removing water from on top of the arena by using dispensers. You could either make that the columns of water appear or disappear randomly to make a more interesting fight or even you could add a button so all the water is removed and you have a new type of combat arena: loyalty tridents.

I feel like "Gem never likes my jokes" should be a horn of the month.

Gem! You should invite/ask Iskall for his input on the riptide arena! He uses riptide tridents to get around regularly and his whole base in s8 was using them. He might have some good insight. Arena looks great though, the entrance is perfect.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1608">26:48</a> Holy hell cub is selling his fireworks for cheap. I mean, the idea is really cool and he gets the diamonds from horn shop pretty good so I guess it doesnt matter to him that much but goddamn. Fair play to cub, he really wanted to do the explosive fireworks and his promotion of them is so cool. Very rare to see fireworks used that much, and it's kind of a shame.

It is possible to buy stamps that for hermits that don't have a mailbox yet, so there is a chance that Pearl will find it and put in the lost and found, but in the process she might discover the club. Check in the Post Office, in the wall with everyone's names if his light is on.

The underwater ring is amazing. This teminds me if those two part stages in fighting games. Could have a great name too The top part: Skull Sands: Beach Underwater: Skull Sands: Hidden Depths But maybe needs more skull/spooky things in the hidden ring? Excited wlwhichever way this goes!

fight club fight club!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1300">21:40</a> "why have you just got a hole" 😅 make it a horn 😂

I loved the Gem & Pearl interaction from Pearl’s POV, and this POV doesn’t disappoint

I can’t wait to see if there ever becomes a big fight club tournament!

I think it would be cool to add a mural on the prismerine walls in the arena! Maybe even something simple like a mermaid or an octopus?

When Gem said that the villagers were "in the hole" my first thought probably should have been "what hole?" or "I don't remember magical mountain having a 'Hole'" but instead my first line of thought was "Why would Pix have villagers in the massive, cylindrical hole to bedrock?" Guys I'm in too deep 😞

gem and joel have such big sister, little brother energy and i love it “gem never likes me jokes” -joel smallishbeans beans HAHAHHAAAHAH

Getting a new gem video is a breath of fresh air

NEW HERMITCRAFT EPISODE!!!

It’s a secret, you can’t put it in the title.

I love time lapses where you can see the actual animation of the prismarine blocks.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1479">24:39</a> - "Gem never likes my jokes" should become a horn xD

Cub is the perfect pick, can't wait for his firework arena lol

I like the idea, but I think if the arena was completely filled it would make things a bit more logistically enjoyable. But maybe leave the corner water pillars as air pillars so the person might fall down out of the water and have to swim up the center stream which makes them more vulnerable to their opponent, meaning they would have to be more wise with their aims. The whole point is to use the trident to fly and attack, not throw or just swing like a sword.

Im just gonna say I would 100% watch a Gem and Pearl co op series, they have such good chemestry/friendship (if one exists tell me lol)

I’m excited to see the first fight. Ripetide seems like a unique choice. I love the build and ADORE the secret entrance

I think the arena being fully underwater with a conduit and having two tridents to let people choose how to fight would be the coolest way to do it. Because it fully realizes more of your theme dealing with water. You could also decorate it to be a spookier arena to blend into your theme. Like, make the arena an eldritch horror type room.

It's always a good day when gem uploads

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="835">13:55</a> You got Riptide 2 atleast But you'll need a bigger arena for that

If you want movement to be a bit easier, you could maybe use trapdoors or gates on the corner water columns and make them all source blocks, so swimming up is quicker. As a bonus challenge, you could also maybe put a block switcher in the bottom and have them randomly alternate between soul sand and magma for up/down movement.

I love Hermitcraft. And now that I've watched her Dredge series, I know what the aesthetic is coming from. Love ALL your videos, Gem. ❤

Gem, seeing you do redstone with pearl was cool! Id be interested in seeing you learn redstone. Judging by how you helped pearl, its not as far out of your depth as you present it, and you totally have the potential to be a redstoner. Talk to tango!!

i always thought you were gonna make it like fully underwater and have a conduit, with riptide. but this is better!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1290">21:30</a> Gem picking up Sausage's worst habits lol

I see how it is. In Gem's version of edit she got Ren saying "I'm gonna get cozy with a villager in a little hole right here". Meanwhile, Ren's editting has Gem saying "because then I need to experiment on your body".

Gem, Maybe you should invite a certain canadian man 👀

I was just rewatching the hardcore series 😂

"I need Riptide 1" My suggestion would be to ask Grian. Considering you can get Riptide books from fishing, and how much he's fished, it's pretty much guaranteed he'll have one. I have seen Villagers sell Riptide 2 & 3; however, that was on Bedrock Edition, so I'm not sure whether or not that's also a possibility on Java. Same thing goes with Impaling, Loyalty, and Chanelling, if I remember correctly.

If Gem needs help with trident combat and making an arena for it, Etho did that in a mini game a couple of seasons ago! He’d probably be happy to help with that sort of thing, and I’m sure Joel would be happy with him involved <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1490">24:50</a>

so excited for trident battles!! under 30 mins club!

Wake up the 👑 QUeeN✨✨ posted 🤩🤩

I love how gem was just venting to ren and he was just like, 😌“hmmm….yea…ok”

Hi Gem, I'm not much of a builder, but I have a little building efficiency tip for you! When you have underwater dirt that needs to be mud instead, don't replace the dirt, just go out with a water bottle and double-right-click the dirt. The first click turns the dirt into mud, the second one refills your water bottle, assuming you're underwater the whole time...

No way, she’s gotten better like every episode! Amazing!!!!!

Underwater arena with a conduit would be also cool.

Riptide PvP is one of my favourite types bc it gives great agility in water (without which I find water PvP to be annoying) + impaling (in bedrock) can build up huge damage. And Riptide in general is just so useful for traversal with elytra, better than rockets in rain or over an ocean.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="935">15:35</a> Gem: *realizes that she has less than a 1% chance to get the book* Me: "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE"

I’ve been waiting for this video for days I’m so excited!

ive been waiting for this episode for so long YAY!!!

The connection with the storage room could make for a nice secret entrance to a private observer's box! Like you would see in an arena or something.

The silly thing is… Joe sells riptide 1 for the explicit purpose of someone wanting to make a minigame

Gem if you're confused on making Riptide arenas, you should definitely check out Etho's Ripzone he built a big trident arena in season 7 turf war

uploaded 18 seconds ago! i have notifs on my phone and was trying to find a video to watch lmao. love your work gem!! especially this season, i love the ocean and marine life so this is right up my alley.

Love the look of the fight club!!!! I really also love that hermits see a challenge and say "alright well we'll all just have to get better at this, then". Thats awesome

Hey Gem!! I haven’t seen your videos in so long but I used to watch you all the time. I remember when you celebrated 100k, 500k, and was so excited when you hit 1 million! I wanted to tell you that just listening to your voice right now brings back nostalgia. When I used to play Minecraft a lot I became SUCH a good builder because I got my inspiration from you! I must have been 9 or 10 when I first started watching you haha. Just thought I would let you know that I’m your biggest fan!! 💛

Hello gem! Your builds always inspire me to build!

its always a good day if Gem uploads 🔥🔥🔥

the fight club looks so good!! the columns up the wall and wrapping across the ceiling make the room look kinda reminiscent of a barrel (at least to me lol), which I think really works with your aesthetic/the underwater or ‘fishy’ theme of the club 💖💖

I'm soooo excited for another amazing and fun video

Honestly there is already a perfect trident arena inside every Ocean Monument. The gold room in the middle. You have the Guardians that forces you to move and you have pillars to hide from each other and get the drop. Also I think not utilizing the verticality (attack downwards from above/attack upwards from below) removes a huge deal from trident fighting. What if you just flooded the room and maybe got a few Guardians inside cages to laser both fighters to add a random element to the battle? I think that would make for some really fun and exciting fights.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1091">18:11</a> i’m addicted to gem’s laugh here

Use a dripleaf for the entrance. Oce your stand and drop down, wait for it to reset and it will make you swim/crawl. Then you can enter the secret crawl/swim space behind it.

you know it’s a good day when gem posts!

Loving this season sm

Great video Gem! Can’t wait for the next one to see Cubs reaction and what will happen. Love your base also.

Gem! Since the arena is underwater, I think it’d be cool to put some dripstone dripping water on the ceiling if possible! Awesome episode and I also like how you let the process inspire you rather than waiting for it to come, I think that’s a good reminder for all creatives ~ I love how that led to the wall gradient.

Etho have made a rip tide based PvP mini game before. He should have a lot of tips to improve the riptide arena

Love your videos Gem ❤

For the fight club kit, I recommend turtle helmets! (With aqua affinity)And iron boots with depth strider. Then you could do the colored leather chestplate. And I do think that having both riptide and Loyalty tridents could be a good idea, and maybe make the arena have a water floor?

I think we can qualify Gem as one of the only Redstone experts on the server

so my suggestions for the arena... 1: bigger. I feel like riptide tridents is one of those things that benefits more from a bigger area to be used. 2: make the entry into the fight pool be a drop down with a waterfall to get back up. 3: have some places in the main arena below be some platforms with pools of water or even with some waterfalls coming down. I feel like these three things could make the trident arena more enjoyable for people, at least to me it'd be more enjoyable.

Gem, a few tips to improve your fight club arena: 1. You can hit people with a trident as if it were a sword. The platform in the middle serves this use well, but you did not use the trident like this in melee situations. 2. You can throw tridents if you are on dry land. I suggest adding Loyalty to the tridents to make them usable this way. 3. Waterlogged slabs (lower half of block) n the center platform would be cool, but only if they were mostly waterlogged, leaving some raised non-waterlogged slabs. 4. Make the center platform smaller, so that falling to the bottom becomes more common. 5. Maybe turn the center platform into a more parkour based platform. 6. Bubble columns (both soul sand and magma) would make the movement more sporadic and interesting. 7. Fishing rods could add to the aquatic theme and could be equipped as a secondary weapon. 8. Add fish to the walls! Take some inspiration from Grian's underground mending shrine. 9. Use coral for the floor and ceiling to add seating all around. 10. As a special feature, add a hole in the ceiling which goes straight up. It can remain closed most of the time, but will open during a thunderstorm to throw at opponents in the middle to strike them with lightning using Channeling.

Water columns are an interesting idea for the arena. Connecting pvp and some clever movement patterns. Testing the riptide in shallow water shows the damage value, but doesn't show how 3D the fight could be. In a fully submerged arena you'd get a different kind of combat than on the water columns. Add some covers in a few places, soul sand/magma for rapid vertical movement and you get a very tricky fighting space.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1117">18:37</a> Riptide battle looks so awesome!!!!

Yay! New Episode!

LET’S GO! A FIGHT CLUB!

“How do you put them in the dispenser?” “W-we don’t talk about that” *dead silence*

so funny that Gem edited out the 'Ren I need your body for an experiment' & 'take your clothes off' parts

PURPOSEFUL FIGHT CLUB

Entrance Ideas: - Sewer pipe - Underwater volcanic vent (using magma) - Under dock boat entrance with a gate that opens up to an underground river/waterslide - Redstone item frame puzzle that drops the floor out

oh thats a glorious looking arena. I cant wait to see how combat works there in a real battle

Honestly the gemdog duo is a vibe

WOOO new gem ep!!!
