You even found the music! This is INCREDIBLE, Good job! I don't think I could make anything as nice as this on a first attempt or even a 50th attempt.

C!Mumbo = Cat Mumbo

If your cat ever comes up to you with a mouse and you say "Wow! How did you did that?" And she meows back what she said was "It's quite simple really!"

Jess is the type of person to ask "is anyone going to make that" and not wait for an answer

Mumbo the cat is all I ever needed in this life. That mustache.

Jess not painting the bottom of the roof is giving me massive "not building the back" vibes

When I found grian’s channel I watched all of hermitcraft 6, 7, and 8 all in 1 week, you aren’t the only one 😂

Naming your cat Mumbo is perfect because his whiskers are REALLY moustache worthy!

The DSMP to Hermit pipeline, and then the Grain to GTWS to Mumbo to Pearl to- I'll just start naming every hermit. But everyone I know started with Grian and now watches at least 3 hermits. And then you get into Empires.

Also cat mumbo is adorable

I literially laughed out loud when you mentioned binge-watching all of Grian's stuff and naming your cat Mumbo. First video I've watched from you, and it was amazing. I've said this on some of the Hermits' videos when they're apologizing for something not being done or looking unfinished: it looks amazing! Better than anything I could do. No need to apologize.

"I'm just gonna glue on these overhangs I made off camera" has the same vibe as "I went resource gathering off camera". I love the sheer number of Hermitcraft/SMP jokes in here, and the diorama is faithful to the original. Well done!

I feel like Scott’s main house or Lizzie’s Ocean tower from season 1 of Empires would be fun builds to do if you ever tried this again. Unique styles, recognizable, slightly upscale to this, but still not to complex or large.

This feels like such a love letter to hermit craft and I love every bit of it. So cool

“Expresses undying love for cat mumbo” “ And touched some grass, idk why people keep telling me to do that.” 😂

This is a crossover of diorama videos and minecraft videos that I didn’t know I needed…and I’m so glad that I found it (oh look, Grian found it too?!!!) Nice job, your hard work and pain paid off!

As a person who builds dioramas and scarfs down grain’s content I love this build and think you did a great job. You also managed to capture the true essence of controlled chaos that is making a sculpture.

The mix of different Hermits' background/time-lapse music, the way you translated parts of the build into real life, the pain of the shingles, the overall build in general-it looks amazing and the video was entertaining as well.

I leaned my head to the side and the pad on my headphones squeaked a bit as Mumbo was yawning. It sounded like a tiny meow and I will live the rest of my life choosing to believe he meowed while yawning.

This is an amazing tribute to Hermitcraft and Grian. Also hearing the Time-lapse music gave me a huge smile.

I shall now express my undying love for cat Mumbo… I love you cat Mumbo!

It's amazing! The build itself for being a first time looks awesome, the painting and shading fits so well it all just looks so good

Whenever I saw the thumbnail for this video I thought somebody had made a whole realistic house, like an actual building somewhere, now that I've finally clicked on it I'm no longer confused :) It is a realistic house, just mini :D

The venn diagram of hermitcraft fans and studson studio fans gets more and more circular everyday! Fantastic job! EDIT: also I love that I can tell which hermits you've watch due to the background music throughout the video lol

This is soooo cool, imagine Grian himself seeing this, he'll be emotionally crying that his fans love him this much.

This turned out so awesome! I was 100% with you there when you were shingling lol, it's a really long process and it always looks so much faster in the videos. Love all the textures and the little details (particularly those lanterns hanging on the rope), amazing work~ Would totally love to see you do another model in the future!

This is just absolutely adorable. The copper looks completely realistic, and the entire model feels genuinely like a little doll home, but it's a Minecraft build! Awesome work!

I can relate, I started watching grian at the end of hermitcraft season 7, and I went back and watched seasons 6 and 7 in a couple weeks.

I don't really watch Hermitcraft, mostly DSMP but love that both of these communitys get along so well. I would also like to herewith express my undying love for cat Mumbo.

This is such a cool build! If I could suggest another diorama to do, I would say Scar’s season 8 swaggon starter base

Never thought I would need a mumbo cat but now I feel I will die if I don't get one

Cat Mumbo is so cute!!! and the diorama looks incredible, the pain with the roof shingles definitely paid off

Cat Mumbo alleves the emptiness I feel knowing real Mumbo is still on break.

Jess! This turned out amazing! Say, if you want to do another build, maybe check out some of geminitay's builds? Hers are always pretty! I especially like her wizard tower she made for empires season 1, or any of her hermitcraft builds.

grian was my first Hermitcrafter too. I found him through mincraft pranks and building tips. Then Hermitcraft S6 came out and the rest was history

The gasp I let out when you introduced kitty cat Mumbo! Ahhhhh! She is perfection! My 7 cats and I are already in love! Also fantastic work!

I just saw this in my sub box and clicked so fast. The music was SUCH a nice touch lol. Welcome to the Hermitcraft fandom! Cat mumbo, my beloved This looks AMAZING. All the skill you have and effort you put into this really shows! All the details, the little lamps, tiny Grian, ah it's just so cool. Honestly makes me want to try making something like that! As for other stuff to build: Bdubs' moon base from season 8 might be tough but would probably be really cool as a little model! Or Mumbo's little season 8 Peace, Love, and Plants van/camp for Cat Mumbo lol

Oh the pipeline of dsmp… glad you’re in the hermit fandom! Just wait until you get into empires… Also you asked for suggestions for a build, and mentioned empires, so I would love to see something from Rivendell! (S1) whether you try sculpting the stag statue or you build his enchanting tower or any other thing you build, I will be watching! Great job on the diorama, I’ve always wanted to make one, but the problem with my builds is that we don’t have a lot of storage space for them.

I love cat mumbo with all my heart

As someone who’s watched hermit craft for years I gotta say this is one of the best pieces of fan content ever

Having watched all of Grian's hermitcraft episodes, and life series, seeing one of his builds come to life is absolutely amazing! A build I feel like would be up your alley is the winter cabin for Techno and Phil. Seeing how you built the base here, I feel the cabin with your style would be amazing. I hope to see more of your content around!

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!! I love every little detail you added, from the moss, to the stone texture ,to those roof shingles. Mumbo the cat is adorable too, best name you could possibly pick for a cat with a moustache

Also this 6:39 is the most Hermitcraft thing there is so you really have that hermit spirit! 💀

Cat Mumbo is ADORABLE 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This video is pure serotonin From your adorable giggle, to the use of hermit’s iconic music, I couldn’t help but smile :) I love the finished product!

Wow this is so cool! Also love the fact that you used music that the Hermits use in their videos as background music! Thank you for making this! Such a cool idea! And love how it turned out! Would love to see more Hermitcraft builds being recreated like this!

if through the fandoms you end up falling all over to empires smp, please make xornoth's horns into a head accessory (and btw if you do fall into it, I recommend joel if youre not into roleplay, sausage if you do, and scott because c!scott was my favorite character and I think his lore was amazing)

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen someone build out of foam and cardboard. I don’t even know how it went from a typical craft project to straight out of Minecraft

Hi Jess! I love watching your videos and I thought recreating Lizzie’s Animalia Community Centre from Empires, would be awesome! Also Cat Mumbo is amazing and must be protected.

Cat Mumbo is what I didn't know I needed from life

For your first replica it looks AMAZING! Leave it to crafty people to put tons of work into something only to throw it out because it didn't turn out right. I feel your pain, my friend. I loooove all the detail you put into it to bring the build to life and give it some personality. Well done!!

I totally understand you Jess. I watched the last 5 years of Grian's content in less than 2 months. By the way, what's really funny is that when I leave my dsmp phase (I mean great 3 years but I think that is enough), my favorite "cosplay/handmade stuff" account goes into the same phase as me. Lovely content as always and would be really happy to see more Hermitcraft related content in the future. I also recommend Empires SMP, but I think after the crossover you already know their stuff lol longest comment in my life, anyway thanks for reading o/

This is fantastic! I love watching your work and as a long time Hermitcraft fan this is so cool!!!

Season 6 in my opinion was the best grian season, the story was amazing! It was also the first season he appeared in

Cat mumbo is adorable

I watch everything Studson studio does, he's so cool! This is genuinely so amazing, I'm so excited to see so many people watching Hermitcraft... since the great dream smp incident of '22... ALSO MUMBO THE CAT IS THE PERFECT LITTLE BOY I LOVE HIM.

OMG THIS LOOKS AWSOME

Yes, Mumbo deserves all love. Of course, both Mumbos.

You even added a tiny Grian, love it. 🥰 The first Grian video I saw was called How NOT to build in Minecraft (Common Building Mistakes) 🙂

My cat is sitting on me right now so it's basically cheating on her in front of her but I LOVE CAT MUMBO pls pet her for me Having now finished the video, I NEED THIS GRIAN HOUSE IN MY LIFE- I also would love to see more of these minecraft dioramas because this is so cute- you could make your own little mishmash SMP village lol

I tried (Jess’es?) ranboo memory book craft, and it turned out phenomenal! Can wait to try to replicate this😂

Cat mumbo jumbo is epic

I don't know why but I suddenly have an undying love for your cat Mumbo. He's so cute.

Yes! I've been waiting for a Hermitcraft project!!! Also- have you seen the Evolution SMP? Would definitely recommend.

I always get so excited when Jess uploads lol

I always watch the first 15 Episodes of Grain's POV of Hermitcraft and then I loose the streak of me watching the video he uploaded that day because I watch so many other KZfaqrs.

I love that the quick oats great value has 100% grain

This turned out awesome!! I think it would be really cool to see you make the barge from season 7 its one of my favorite Grian builds and I think it would be fun to make!

That's so cool! Grian is my favourite builder and I love that you chose him!

When two artists collide, this is what ya get

Mumbo is absolutely adorable what a beautiful mustache they have

Cat mumbo my beloved, what an amazing mustache she has

I would in fact die for cat mumbo. Sooo cuuute.

If you plan on making more dioramas that need shingles, I suggest you purchase those craft scissors with the wavy blades, they're really handy for making tiny roof shingles.

The fade from the coper to the teal looks so good can't lie I want to paint my walls like that's lol

Hi Jess! I have a cool idea that you don't have to do but I think it would be cool. You can do Philza's house from the Dream SMP. I think it would be kinda cool to recreate. I loved how this turned out for your first time making one of these for the first time! keep up the good work P.S: I LOVE MUMBO THE CAT :D

Omg this is absolutely amazing! Your creativity is beyond amazing and you did so well for your first time!! I have a suggestion you could make mumbo’s little vault to put next to Grian’s house! You could even make the wall of copper between the two 😂

Grian missing mumbo is the cutest thing. I found grian through Cleo/ Gemini slay

"Because I don't know how to consume content in moderation" As someone who recently binge-watched the entire 3rd Life, Last Life, and Double Life series from every single member's POV, this is far too relatable.

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.

The best thing in this video 0:44 - 0:53

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD SCREAMING CRYING PASSING OUT WAKING UP PASSING OUT AGAIN DOING A BACKFLIP LANDING ON MY NECK GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM RECOVERING IN THE HOSPITAL PROCEEDING TO DO IT ALL AGAIN

the moment the music hit for the house painting literally what i heads was "time for super fast build mode" from scar xD

Yessss, cat Mumbo is the best! Second to the actual Mumbo of course.... Maybe...

I saw grian and clicked immediately lol

this being your first time just makes it more impressive

Cat mumbo is glorious

"Cat Mumbo" Me: "Cumb......NO NEVERMIND I SAID IT BEFORE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT"

I can honestly say you're one of my favorite youtubers, somehow you manage to keep my attention consistently throughout the entire videos, and I find myself smiling throughout. You have absolute insane amounts of dedication and creativity and its lovely to see your process! (Also cat Mumbo is ADORABLE!!!! Cat + Mumbo; Cu- ........ nevermind 😳)

I've always hates diorama videos, but this AS A FIRST TRY? IM IN LOVE WITH THIS, IN LOVE.

The scar building time lapse theme touched my heart 🤧

Mumbo the cat is so CUTE

This was... amazing! I am so glad I was recommended this video, you are so talented! ❤️❤️❤️

I think that now we all want to see the mansion now that you know that you can do a pretty good scaled one

Kitty mumbo... CUTE KITTY I LOVE CATS I HAVE THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE

I would love to see something like this for empires SMP!!!! What I think would be really fun to build as the crystal cliffs from Geminitays season one. But honestly I would be happy with all that ever-

I love cat Mumbo ❤😻

this turned out really cool and i liked all of the little hermitcrafty references and the music choices. also the little minecraft-style grian figure standing next to a realistic diorama is so funny to me idk why

This is legit going to be my favourite series. There are so many good candidates for builds from HC or Empires. BDub's moon starter house would be my vote.

Cat Mumbo is adorable
