hope you enjoyed this video! keep in mind that i had a few issues and had to change out the song in the intro so it isn't exactly perfect but anyway sorry for the reupload and the long wait Also i think at 5:49 i got confused with season 3 as thats when etho, impulse and doc were all added, NOT season 6!

the hermitcraft smp is prolly the only smp to be unaffected by drama after technoblade's death

Genuinly think its because the youngest players on hermitcraft are the same age as all the oldest DreamSMP, Lifesteal, and all the other Smps. (Exceptions apply) They are just more mature people, and they are less likely to do something that would get the Internet to hate them, therefore preventing controversy

Another thing about Hermitcraft: when people get involved in prank wars or PVP, generally both sides are very clear it’s all in good fun. Like the Turf war, for example. When scar dies in the vault, even though he’s annoyed for losing his stuff, you can hear the audible smile on his face for having been bamboozled. When they covered the perimeter, and Doc is swearing revenge. You can hear the audible grin on his face looking out over the perfectly normal terrain. Everyone knows it’s all in good fun, and even when there’s a genuine accident like the tunnel bore incident, most of the hermits know how to take something like that and turn it into content rather than hold a grudge. On the flip side, servers like the dream SMP don’t really acknowledge the role-play aspects out of character (unless you’re technoblade, which might have been why he was so much easier to watch imo). The story is the server on Dream SMP, rather than the server members inventing the story as the go, which makes for more compelling narratives but sacrifices the humanity and relatability of just playing on a Minecraft server. You could totally have a turf war with a friend over a public area of a server. You couldn’t have revive books, or mind-altering eggs in-game.

Bro made a video about Hermitcraft and briefly went over the history of SMPs without mentioning Mindcrack, the SMP that inspired Hermitcraft and the SMP that really started that sort of genre. Anyways, amazingly underrated video

I think one of the reasons why hermitcraft lasted so long and is still going is because the members don't take wars seriously. Everything is for fun and games, no grudges on others. Dream smp and other similar smps also have wars, but sometimes it goes too far to demotivating the members, and making the viewers treat the other side as true enemy. It just goes serious so fast. Grian always causes war, but every war is all fun and games. All of the hermitcraft members say to the viewers that the war isn't really serious and that the viewers shouldn't treat this seriously. The wars are also not that insane (like blowing up someone's base, or burning all their items, or killing all their pets). Rather, they're tame and funny (like placing a ton of boats on bdubs's town but still helping clean it up, or fighting doc by making a silly slimestone machine. They're also not violent (killing each other with op weapons, using end crystals, using pearls, cobwebs, and all other pvp tactics).

Doc, Etho and Impulse all joined Hermitcraft in season 3 - not season 6 as this video suggests.

another big part of Hermitcraft success are the seasons which gives the players a lot of creative freedom. Like take Grian. Season 9 = Peace love and plants season 10 = rugged fisherman who built a shrine to a mending book + a bureaucrat in the permit office also if I'm not wrong to add someone to Hermitcraft it has to be unanimously approved by all members

hermitcraft, a server where a civil war is fun (Grian is definitely not poultry man)

I think empires smp deserves a mention! That got a lot of views

I started watching from season 8. And I love the interaction these creators have. It's like just friends hanging out, doing pranks and just making their own thing all in a centralize location.

The fact that I recognized every hermitcraft clip and identified which season it was from and whos pov it was and what time period in the season it was :'D Also- Etho joined in season 3, and was absent from season 6, so 😅

Watching Hermitcraft brings me both joy and great sadness. The Joy is that it shows just what is possible with Minecraft, if you're surrounded by people who have that level of dedication... The sadness is...knowing that when I tried to start an SMP, all of my friends bailed on me because they didn't have any sort of dedication at all... I would love the chance to play Minecraft with the Hermits. Xisuma's advice was, "Start your own Hermitcraft." I tried and it failed...It's just a bitter pill to swallow knowing that I'll never have friends like the Hermits... ...That I'll probably never BE friends with the Hermits.

i might be biased lol but from my perspective, i also feel like season 6 was more of a .... grian's fault. lol. not only did he join and bring with him his massive viewership, but... he went full gremlin mode and created wars ever since.. which just made it even easier for new viewers to get to know others on the server etc. i say i'm biased coz that's how i found hermitcraft, through grian and his collabs with the others. and there's the chill side, definitely, the maturity of the members, and with many being PG content creators i think it's just easier content to view for a wider range of people.. like parents will watch with their kids. and those kids grow with it. and the older hermits mean there's humour for the older ones, but between scar's comedic timing and grian's infectious cackling at his own goofy antics, it's all still entertaining for younger ones too...

By the way, you show that season 6 was the most popular season in a part of the video, when it is in fact season 7, with Grian’s first episode sitting at 19 million views! Obviously not a big deal, but I think it is interesting how popular Hermitcraft was over COVID. Another interesting fact is that on TangoTek2 (Tangos second channel), there are around 20 multiple hour long livestreams with millions of views of his game Decked Out (a mini game on season 9). Anyway, sorry for the essay lol.

How mermitcraft became unstoppable then spends 5/8 minutes talking about other SMPs

I love the small detail with wilbur having sharp teeths

I feel like lifesteal is trying too hard, they keep dying and using revives like its just not interesting anymore

Super underrated minecraft documentary! I hope you go viral bro, you deserve it

Don't you love when a video named ''How Hermitcraft became unstoppable'' has only 40% of it entire runtime talking about Hermitcraft? That aside, it's a decent and concise documentary video, however I'll mention a few bits of wrong information: *5:27* There were definitely WAY more than 5, plus you forgot to mention GenerikB himself, the founder of the server. *5:48* Tango wasn't added in the 2nd season, the first season he appeared in he was just a guest to build an iron farm. He got added quite a while later. *5:53* _Wrong,_ season 6 only added Grian. But that one addition alone was far more than enough for the server to get the admittedly gigantic boost it got. The three members, Doc, Impulse and Etho were added in season _THREE_ *6:35* No. Hermitcraft _DID_ add a large number of members every season very early on when it was still starting out, but after Season 5 or so, the influx of new members really slowed down, without about one member every two years or so. Heck, seasons 7 and 9 didn't even add anybody! Your points about why Hermitcraft has stood the test of time though, are very correct. Hermitcraft chose stable and consistent popularity over getting _unimaginably_ popular and viral only to die down because it has nothing else to offer.

#1 on trending! Agreed, I see many videos like this with different points and arguments, and we all have to agree that the HC community is one of the best out there. Whether you make Fanart, (like me) Animatics, videos, or just friendly conversations, it grows more and never really falls back. We are lucky to have the hermits :D

One of the hermitcraft members (Grian) made the "life series" it is kinda chaotic, but its REALLY interesting and funny, there is a 6th season in the works rn im really hiped, and you cant leave the session unless you can't make it, so it has ppl active every single week. (Oh btw when i mean kinda chaotic i mean really chaotic)

Grian bring so much to hermithcraft when he joined in season 6. I think he is pretty much the equivalent of technoblade in hermithcraft, being the driver of many events throughout the season.

70%: talking about other smps 30%: hermitcraft great video tho, i quite enjoyed it

I think another reason they avoid conflict so well is because they're all either builders or redstoners, possibly both. While they can be good at PVP or other competitive aspects of the game, all members seem to share a like of making grand projects. Since they all have projects on the server they aren't inclined to start conflicts which could damage their builds or take away from time they could be making stuff. Basically, they're more builders than fighters, although they can fight... **cough cough** Lord Grian Dreamslayer

The controversies and wars on other SMPs: HE BLEW UP MY HOUSE The controversies and wars on hermit craft: Grian: Mushroom good! Scar: No, grass good!

Actually GenerikB made Hermitcraft

Hermits are just some old homies hanging out and having fun while being bit childish at times

I feel like one thing that hc did was add grain which actually made it even more fun (imo) yes he is the reason of wars but still those wars aren't dramatic they are pranks like how doc got pranked and most of the hermits act like siblings towards each other even if some of the creators left fans of hc still know how great the smp is :)

people call dream and the dream smp cringe but its probably helped others gain interest in minecraft as well

The documentary was so detailed and well done. Appreciate the cool video!

he starts talking about hermitcraft at around 5:20 . you're welcome

I feel the need to say, Doc, Etho and Impulse didn’t join in Season 6. In fact Etho wasn’t in Season 6. All 3 joined in Season 3. Was that a brain fart where you said 6 rather than 3?

the server started with an insane player count in season 1 and was created by generic b. those 6 you listed are only the ones that are still there to this day. generic b went on to join mindcrack where docm77 and vintage beef are from, leaving hermitcraft in xisumas hands. which is a big part why it is still auround to this day. xisuma is just magic social glue personified

Not only hermitcraft Include grians life series

It's because the people on the hermitcraft smp are adults that live a life and function in harmony with society and fellow humans while remembering to touch grass daily.

Tommy didn’t start the L'Manberg war(though he was heavily involved), Wilber did.

The Wilbur soot image with sharp teeth was literally funny af LMAO, i also might need to watch hermitcraft, it's kinda interesting

I personally enjoyed hermitcraft more than dsmp due to the fact they weren’t actively destroying/vandalizing (blowing it up) each other’s builds, it just made me sad when I see builds others made getting destroyed for the laughs

I like how it took like 70% of the video to get to the point

bro cooked with this video damn. been watching hermitcraft for years and only stopped watching it cuz irl became busy.

Yoooo I'm that guy who made that one video HAHA!! Let's goo

i do feel like hermitcraft is like the giga chad of smp servers

Filled with so much misinformation...

Thank you for TfC mention. And another point- even when he died, it didn't kill the server off for good which i think nicely shows how the hermits got together

the implication that there was only 5 hermits in season 1, when those mentioned were just the ones that are still around today. kinda misleading

Everyone in the comment section has been saying this but, one thing about wars in hermitcraft is its for all just fun and games and laughs, no drama, no dramatic story, no nothin', but the wars was just there for the members and the audience have a good time, unlike dsmp on the other hand, the storyline were just based of wars, and the streamers were just logging in the server most of the time because of the, like said "storyline", in which imo destroys the minecraft smp essense, and the wars.. I don't know it feels like rinse and repeat, its like it has a cycle which is " Calm before the storm - The storm" and repeats, i don't know if I'm the only one who felt like that. Like said from a different videk "Good idea, but bad execution". I do admit I loved dsmp when I was younger, but growing up realizing watching mature people is much more enjoyable than watching the.. uhh other group (no offense to them but I think they'd agree with me since they've matured enough). Jeez that was long

Thanks for looking at the comments ❤

Someone really should make a documentary about mianite because that was one of the OGs

I love how you took the overused "creep" "ped0" labels on thumbnails and replaces them with positive words like "perfect" and "innocent" bc soo many ppl think drama is the only way to get clicks.

Is because none of them touch kids

Im sorry... But as an artist... Why did you use a AI generated image of money when you could have just used an emoji...

When grain joined the server for the first time ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE War Lore Shenanigans Rebellions

the teeth on the wilbur pfp are a great touch

2:23 r we just gonna ignore the teeth 💀

Congrats on #1 on Trending!

2:23 I’m sorry this is awesome

Loyal smp😢

this is such a funny thumbnail

Number 1 on trending, wow great video by the way!

they talk about hermitcraft i talk about karmaland we are not the same

Viewer since s6 here, where are my brothers and sisters?

great editing man

What is the song called in the beginning of the video?

whats the pack he is using in the fireball fight clips?

The 2 best smps in Minecraft history are Hermitcraft and How to Minecraft and I don’t think they will ever be dethroned

W video W smp W obvlogan

hermitcraft didnt start with the 5 you mentioned, generikb was the original founder

“Creators like mumbo jumbo… all creating consistent content” just gonna ignore mumbos months long breaks from content creating in s8 and s9 I guess. But for real I think that he’s able to do this and just come back to hermitcraft speaks a lot for how good of a server and community hermitcraft has. Also I forgot who did create hermitcraft but it wasn’t xsumavoid, he just took over ownership in s2 after the creator left the server, and s1 consisted of a lot more ppl than listed it’s just that those are the only ones who stayed.

Phenomenal video and a great name

This was a nice vid but it made me starkly aware that there r different niches in the mc yt community. I started w mind crack and moved over to hc in s6 so that is my starting point. As such I watched a lot of PSJ and eventually found myself watching stuff like Mianitian isles. The only reason I watched smp earth was bc of captain sparklez. I had heard of dsmp and a few of the members but never watched it. Got really into fwhip and the group that would eventually b empires smp. It wasn’t until Jaiden animations being on qsmp shocked me into watching that that I became a regular watcher of philza. Hadn’t heard of 99% of them before that😂 so this vid talking about all these (to me) rando little smps but not mentioning anything I’ve watched felt weird but it was interesting.

wasnt generikb in season 1? i thought he started hermitcraft

Popping off

Yo cool vid but you forgot to mention GenerikB (the founder of hermitcraft)

2:23 upgraded pfp?

This video honestly has a lot of misinformation in general, like how it says the server started with 5 members (didn't) and when people joined/left the server etc. Also mindcrack wasn't mentioned at all despite completely unrelated SMPs being mentioned I think you should have done better research before making the video so hopefully in the future these things don't happen

why i hate the joke of minecraft youtubers all being kiddie fiddlers 🔥🔥🔥🔥(also the life series/empires members)

Hermitcraft? more like rateesecraft EZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

first ping :>

j

my school essays are constructed better than this video, why did you feel the need to yap about smp live, smp earth, dream smp and lifesteal for half of the duration of the video that you positioned to be about hermitcraft

Your hermitcraft history is completely wrong and you should check your sources

first

first pin pls :>
