0:29 what else could you name her?
Keralis... in a French accent 🤣🥰
I tried it and this is actually useful! I'll totally be using it in the future
You need to make all the answers "please hold"
This will actually be so helpful in my last year of university. I will actually need to be organized and this will be it! Thanks. 💜
A Rasberry Pie is basically a mini computer, very fun to code on if you enjoy that kind of stuff!!!
This is just amazingly awesome, love your work!
HI!!!
ok
Good Morning, Teacher! 😁
That's awesome Cleo
Hi
"It's actually quite simple" couldn't be a mumbo related video without the iconic catchphrase
@@skypig she really did learn some “real-world” redstone.
I love everything about this! Epic!
I'm glad.
@@TheGrumbotWow...
Wow it’s the goat himself! 🐐🐐💪💪
GRUMBOT HAS ACCESS TO UA-cam! WHAT IF HE FINDS THE TRUTH?!
This complement coming from THE G.O.A.T of Hermitcraft himself is insane. Thank you so much :D
Oh you've earned a sub.

MUMBOO- Jess should pin this!
Programmer here, I'm very proud of you! Going from zero coding to an elaborate final project in such a short time is fantastic. Knowing how to find relevant examples, modifying them to get your desired results, debugging (on Lord the endless debugging), and even how to trick chat gpt into being half-decent when you're at your wits end. Really fantastic progress!
Seriously! It also really does highlight how AI is great for beginners getting over that initial hump
Absolutely, a complete beginner can't expect to make a complete project within the first 2 weeks of learning. I also admire the bravery and determination to dive into learning on the job. I did notice a few people dismissing the programming as being difficult, but they might not appreciate that dealing with custom hardware is a beast and you'll find that the documentation is never enough. Amazing work going through other peoples' project to rip out the stuff you want, that's a lot of what programming is.
AI is a double edged sword because while it was fantastic in assisting to get someone up to speed, you just have to be mindful that you don't always offload problem solving to AI - but she gave it a go first and went to ChatGPT as a last resort which is really good. I only ever use things like ChatGPT and Codeium for things I already know how to do but is a waste of time for me to do - I basically just use Codeium to autocomplete Rust trait implementations because it's a lot of boilerplate and I only want to tweak a couple of things if I can't just derive it.
I would advise that if you get stuck and are feeling frustrated, you have to move onto something else - luckily with programming you often have multiple avenues to go down, but it doesn't have to be programming; you just need some time and come back to it with some more ideas, could for instance have sanded and painted the 3D printed parts. Frustration clouds your ability to think and it just wastes time.
Looking forward to see more electronics be included in future projects.
Exactly, to go from no coding experience and taking on a fairly advanced project! Amazing work! Her analytical thinking is right on the money. Also, she handled the inevitable "I'm such an idiot" moment quite well. Even after decades of experience it doesn't get any better. 😢
Be Careful What You Wish For.
😮
I trust you Grumbot. You shall make Mumbo the Mayor of the World.❤
Uh oh
run.
@ViolettheDragon-q6n bold of you to assume that I already wasn't in mine
12:56 "I custom programmed it. I mean I'm duct taping code together with the help of chatty over here."
Speaking as a programmer for 25 years, yes. That's how that works. Most of programming is knowing how to duct tape code together. Chat-GPT is just another tool like Google or Stack Overflow. Keep up the good work and keep adding tools to your tool belt.
I was so excited that she so precisely experienced what coding is about on her first try, really impressive!
“Yes my totally normal obsession” is literally how I feel taking about MCYTs around my friends
... How could you outed me like that...
Pretty sure my brother is done with me talking about mcyt
guilty
Does MCYTs stand for “Minecraft UA-camrs” or something else?
Im horrible with abbreviations lol
@@bread6851 yes that is what it stands for

5:45 a raspberry pie is a dessert, made up of a hard crust on the bottom and edges of a deep pan, and a filling made up of raspberries and sometimes a few other ingredients. Can be served warm or cold. Optionally, a layer of crust can be added on top of the filling as well.
Wonderful 😊
Next “I Made A Working Rift In Real Life!” and Jess dives into the diorama/cosplay maker multiverse. I’d watch that!
WAITTTTT That would be such a cool way to introduce a collab with other types of creators thooooooo
(Imagine she actually goes thru the rift and stars in HC tho... 👀👀)
Prickly Alpaca and Rachel Maksy join the chat
If Jess does this I'll be putting on my Mumbo Jumbo, Grian, Lizzy (LD Shadow Lady), GoodTimesWithScar, Jimmy SoldiataryGames, QSMP/DSMP Cosplays!
YO! Jess Less! Collab?
Sounds like a mythicalsausage themed video
@@ZDPQC That was my inspo lol
This is seriously one of the coolest projects I've ever seen on UA-cam, incredible work!
If I wake up to find several Grumbot robots in the process of taking over the world whilst chanting “Mumbo For Mayor”, I will be having a word with you.
That better be a positive word because that is one of the few robot invasions I’m ok with
U think we’d be safe bc we’d help them?
I want the grumboi.
*Jess describing the coding* "Shouldn't take long.."
Me thinking: Oh that's sounds like what I learned in my two semesters of beginner's Python courses
On Screen: 10 days later...
10 days isn't too bad actually.
Very cool project! Good work breaking through your comfort zone to learn something new! :)
Im torn because on the one hand it’s grumbot my beloved, but on the other hand Grumbot now exists in this world and we’re more at risk of him finding out Mumbo didn’t win the mayor election and I don’t know what that robot will do then. EDIT: Or I mean, I would be worried about if Mumbo hadnt won tbe election which he obviosuly did
😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe it will learn how to make rifts and go to an alternate universe where Mumbo did win?
Please DELETE this your comment HE WILL SEE!!
PANIC!!!!!!
@@NassiC21 Good point, edited to fix 😄
as someone in computer science your frustration is completely warranted and very normal- also the small wins are nonexistent- every win is huge! your logic going into the coding was sound but because you were going in without any prior knowledge, the small things that we are taught to look out for slipped past and that’s ok! i remember teaching myself c++ in physics class to code an arduino board to detect humidity and display it and when i got it to work i yelled so loud i didnt care if the whole school heard me- i also appreciated the way you used ai to help you- that’s exactly how you shouldve done it! using it as a tool to get you unstuck or to see your mistake when you need a set of new eyes on it- using it as a helper instead of having it do the whole thing for you- amazing video and im so happy this project worked!!! hes so cute!!!
gumboot has arrived on earth we are no longer safe
If we sacrifice *clears throat* I mean offer Mumbo Jumbo, we can be saved.
Luckily out universe has a Mumbo so Grumbot's life has meaning so he shouldn't destroy us, right?
@saruwatarisa No grumbot's sole purpose is to make Mumbo mayor. Could we therefore just give Mumbo an honorary mayoral title and be safe?
@@knightbreezeplays5956 sounds like a solid plan! Now to convince the government without them thinking we're threatening them...
But he's no mayor other than in our hearts
This is why "totally normal obsession"s are freaking awesome. The obsession DEMANDS you expand your horizon to fuel it. One day you're a book binder, next you're a robotics engineer🤣
Yup Thats how they Work
One Day You're Making a Character for a Roleplay Campaign
The Next You're researching 14 different Poison Plants and Their Effects for said character
"Cursed Grumbot can't hurt you"
I'm not so sure about that Jess.....
Amazing work as always! I still have no idea how you manage to make such insane creations. A true artist 😍
GRUM HAS GRETURNED
You made it into Minecraft live Jess!!
This is so good that i now need a "please hold" button.
I love that it essentially has one, as demoed at 31:20
*cue Please Hold by Jono*
This ❤
Omg yessss😂
So happy to see you got featured in Minecraft Live. Congrats Jess
24:35 - As a Delphi programmer, all I can write is, welcome to the rabbit's hole that is programming, hehehe.
Hey man, sorry to tell you, but Delphi is dead. Funeral was 30 years ago, sorry man 🙏
@@murphlmao I am sorry to say but you are "stupid" and does not know what you are says, if delphi was dead I would not be working with delphi for more than 15 years.
@@murphlmao Unfortunately, it isn't.
Had the exact same thought at that exact moment. Chase that dragon.
OH MY GOD HES SOO CUTE ❤ this version of him looks like he’d fit perfectly in big ron’s shop, its so cool
"One line of code" "Swapping two wires" As an electronics hobbyist and a professional programmer of over 20 years, yup. It's always like this. Lot of time spent figuring out that all that was wrong was something incredibly simple. You did a fantastic job all around with this project! Diving in headfirst and learning something new is an admirable trait that everyone should strive to emulate. Keep on making awesome stuff! It's so fun to see what you come up with!
*decompiles code* 21 errors
*debugs code* 60 errors
*deletes the starting code that is hashed out* works perfectly
Off the end myself ;-;
As a @Minbitt fan i recognised the tv head during the sponcer I got so exited and after that about minbitt again i was so happy!
14:30 "I'm happy that I finally got it working but I'm so mad because it was such a simple, obvious thing." Welcome to 80% of coding problems. I am not kidding.
Ikr
it's especially fun when you try debugging your code when your code wasn't the problem.
10% writing code 90% troubleshooting
Agreed - it's never anywhere near what you're looking at. I can only imagine all the nightmares people had with the Intel 13th/14th Gen CPUs that Intel insisted was the developer's fault and not the CPU being at fault.
Can confirm. The laughing/crying/relieved/angry/distraught/joyful/horrified emotional mix that you get after fixing that 1 line that took you the entire week is really unmistakable.
this is an unbelievably cool project and you should be insanely proud of yourself!! also the growing frustration with the acrylic panel is so understandable, i worked on diy projects MUCH much less complicated and still sometimes ended up crying from frustration xD i'm so happy i came across this video, instant sub
This is incredible, you should be chuffed to bits!
Heyyy! Whatsupp gideon love your work😊 and HOW does this not have any replies?
i love how you see a cat with a mustache and your brain goes to Mumbo Jumbo XD 10/10 name right there
Don't forget that you can always glue in some light weights, into the base, to make it more substantial and less prone to sliding when pressing the buttons.
For the engagement algorithm; I'll admit, I got two minutes into your video to hear what you wanted to do and just went "huh would Adafruit have a kit that fits this?", so I think that's a good sign that you went down the right rabbit hole in the first place.
"I custom programmed it, I mean I'm duct taping code together with the help of Chatty"
As a full time programmer, that is what everyone does. Chatty is a new entry to the game, but programmers spend more time figuring how to reuse old code than writing new.
I think having an intro to programming course may have reduced the time required.
Chatty+code examples were struggling with custom button assignments.
100%. I'm too lazy to reinvent the wheel... why spend an hour programming something from scratch when I can spend 8 hours instead trying to reuse old code and making it work for something new?...
Everyone in the engineering and engineering-adjacent fields does that. I'm an EE and I do that. (though most of the time it's because the stuff I'm copying is known working and any new stuff I add has to be tested)
@@onuxtigris3392 Some times you reinvent the wheel as a coding exercise.
In this case: I suggested existing code was not the best fit because your hardware is custom.
Being more deliberate about the use of GPIO pins could have saved some trial and error. Edit: And mixed snippets are likely to have incompatible variable names.
What is Chatty?
00:01 he’s now in our universe 😟
5:52 love the @minbitt shoutout!! they're an incredible animator
I've been lurking for a while; but it feels like every new project you try absolutely blows me away! ^^ I'm sure Grumbot will recognize Cat Mumbo as the mayor of your household and not want to take over the world... :)
Going from zero experience to completing a project like this is insane, great job!
This is Minecraft meets a Magic 8 Ball meets gerrymandering. I love it. I love your slightly evil son. This is so cute. I want one.
As soon as you said 21:17 I knew exactly what was going to happen. I definitely feel for you, vastly underestimating how hard a coding project will be is something every newcomer deals with at least once, and seeing your euphoria of getting it to finally work is VERY relatable no matter how experienced someone is. Not sure how much you'll do in the future, but all coding gets easier the more you do it.
I’m giggling imaging Tango giggling while watching the wiring montage. I love this!
There is something so cool about you having/hearing the idea of making an irl Grumbot and then actually just doing it. Especially since you didn't have any previous experience with coding! It would be so easy for it to just stay as an idea and not something you actually took action on, but you didn't let the lack of experience or previous knowledge hold you back. I feel so inspired by you right now :). Congratulations on successfully programing and building him! He's adorable
Dude the transition at 2:12 was so smooth, I love it
Just randomly stumbled across this channel as a hermit craft viewer. Tbh love the vibe kinda reminds me of Answer in Progress!
Trust me, as a programmer, most of it really is just duck taping code together and figuring out how to fix it. Being frustrated at simple mistakes and being excited when it finally works is all part of it. You're off to a great start!
I alqays take existing code and just somehow throw it all into a blender and spend 24h to fix all 100000000 issues. This is just programming
As CS major.. I can assure you that ducktaping code "to make it work" is usually all you need to finish fun / training project.. Production code is neccessary for long term development, where programers would for sure need to modify the code from time to time. But when you have clear vision of what it should do, it doesnt matter how hecticly it does it as long as it does it in the time you need it to. Also generic code would probably slow you down, as youd have to think of even more edge cases, that are not necessary here.
So GJ, very nice work.
10:36 the only Grumbot in all universes to understand what it means to be afraid
I love this from so many fronts. I love the Grumbot! That turned or so well.
The thing I got most from your video is the process you used to tackle things you didn’t understand. I often have so much anxiety trying to break down a project that’s outside my wheelhouse. You really shined! Thank you! I’m going to be sharing this with my kids to expand their own project knowledge! Thank you so much!!
The hermitcraft fans have found adafruit!!! It's OVER!! this is absolutely amazing
We need Grian to see this omg
Mumbo too
@@spectralchanger242 Mumbo saw, you can find his comment if you scroll through them
Grumbot’s taken over real life. Oh gosh.
Impressive stuff, Jess! That end result looks SO good!
I love the subtle detail of the last life sweater.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF ART BASED OFF OF MCYT CREATORS I WANNA SEE, omg i love ur work and how awesome they turn out!!!
3:49 OMG MINBIT REFERANCE
yo @mumbo needs to see this. I genuinely believe he would be so honored. This was a very good video.
Well, he did :3 Just found his comment here
this video is my interests put together; coding, grumbot (hc honestly), and task management tools I LOVE THIS VIDEO AAAAA
Thats so cool and that cat is such a distinguished gentleman
Been watching for 2 years now and I still have to say "underrated". You, Jess are my favorite diy channel out there.
Edit - I can imagine Jess anytime she thinks about sanding, painting, etc. She's just like "At least it's not python."
This is honestly so inspiring because I'm a crafter/maker/creative that likes to dip their toes in all kinds of crafts/hobbies but there are certain things, like coding and creating electrical circuitry, that I've been interested in, but felt they were too intimidating/complex and so hadn't really explored them that much. But yet here you are with an idea of what you want to make but not having the knowledge/skills for all parts of it and instead of letting that deter you or having to outsource that part of the project, you just dive right in and learn on the fly. It honestly makes me want to give these types of things a try too, within the means i have currently available to me, like learning how to code mods for games
0:28How can that cat's name be anything other than Mumbo. It's the cat version of the suited man himself.
WAHHHH as an aspiring industrial designer in college, all of your projects inspire me and it fuels me even more because, well, it's about Hermitcraft. You're so cool and I hope that Grumbot doesn't take over our world or anything-
20:28 “I think I can do this, it feels pretty simple”. Is be best evolution from “my comfort zone doesn’t exist in this project”.
It feels like when Mumbo or any redstoner says “It should be pretty simple”.
Even the 10 hours of issues is the red stoner cut after dying AFK saying “so… i messed up, but it’s working now!”
My kids and I got into Hermitcraft through S7 Mumbo, and we loved this! My kids usually get bored by maker videos, but they were so entertained, my 8yo thought cursed Grumbot was hilarious lol.
It's the robot from Big Ron's. So your wonky textures actually fit for Big Ron's aesthetic
Slight tangent: I feel like Big Ron's would absolutely sell soldering irons and circuit components.
@@GSBarlev They sell the tools to solder electronics but also sell over-aged tech
13:03 this is what i love about ai its an amazing learning tool this is one of its amazing uses
"I'm ducktaping code together" as a professional software developer, I have to say: same xD
Also "quite simple" is the bane of every devs existence, it is always fun to watch someone new at coding.
That being said, the result is amazing! I love this Grumbot
Most people who do programming i know copy from stackexchange, github and as a last resort chatgpt. Including myself Lol! I aint reading 500 pages per library
28:48 was great storytelling! We knew we were in for a positive ending to close, great vid ❤️
To jump in despite your reservations and make your vision a reality?
Respect.
I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO SO FAST, ALSO GRUMBOT!!! MY BOY! Jess you're amazing
this is one of the coolest and most ingenious projects I've seen on YT in a good while. Not to mention your insane levels of commitment and determination to complete it is amazing.
“Today we return to the wonderful world of hermits and crafting”
AHHHHH!
also I think we have the same completely normal obsession
31: 26 OMG! I didn’t realise it was a very softened remix of work!! ❤❤ it’s adorable
"I'm duct taping code with the help of Chatty over here"
Yup, that's basically any normal programmer's life. If there's a library out there that already exists, use it (provided licensing allows).
Yep. If there's anything the past 4 years of my coding experience has told me, it's that you should NEVER attempt to re-invent the wheel, there's no need to remake something that already exists and is probably optimised and tested more thoroughly.
14:33 welcome to the wonderful world of electronics. i've been working with them for over 20 years and still make the same mistakes. keep going i love seeing young people do stuff like this!
GRUMBOT HAS BEEN GIVEN LIFEEEE! That is so cool!
i've been meaning to watch this video for ages and now that i have: WOW! you did an amazing job. you should be immensely proud of yourself!
Welcome to coding ! Where you don't know why it doesn't work, and you don't know why *it works* xD But seriously, be proud of yourself, this is NOT a "simple" project to start with. You said it just does the most basic functions at around 24mins, but although buttons are simple, a led matrix is pretty advanced. I encourage you to continue to learn code, bc when you know you're just like "ok, I'll just do that and add that and bip bap boop it's working" and it's soooo rewarding.
It's an amazing project and the result is incredible. HE'S SO CUUUUTE
14:35 Join the club lol
as a computer-nerd HermitCraft fan, this was amazing. Great job!
LETS GO JESS
Dude this video gives me so much flashbacks when I first started watching Mumbo's pov of Hermitcraft during quarantine😢the moment I clicked on episode 1 opened a whole new world to me since I live in China with no access to Yt. There are not much Hermitcraft fans in China, so I somehow got a vpn and started watching all povs on yt. You've just gained a sub! and GET GORGEOUS😊🎉
gosh this is such a cool project we need the dads to see this!!
Man this project really put into perspective how bad my working habits are. I know all this stuff yet I have been procrastinating my similar scale project for over a year. Props to you for actually learning and doing everything.
We got irl Grumbot before GTA 6
love the schar reference
First of all - OMG THIS IS AMAZING.
Secondly:
15:35 - "This programming learning curve's got HANDS"
From somebody who has been programming for well over 15 years - the curve never gets any less steep lol. Your experience for this video is a solid majority of my typical work week.
"Why isn't this working???"
_spends two days trying to figure out code problems_
"Oh. Wait. It's not my fault... It's a known bug in ... I should have checked that first I guess."
Also, there's a joke that the only keys a programmer needs are Control, C, and V. It's not completely true though - We need all the other alphanumeric keys to Google for code to copy in the first place! :P
Yes, as a recent engineering grad I want to see how far will you go. I am now subscribed.
32:29 i saw that "GET GORGEOUS" 😏
being a crafter myself and having a fear to touch any electronics. It's incredibly inspirational and motivating to see another crafters first "contact" with electronics
Jess Less for Mayor??? 👀
This project is super cool! Thank you for sticking with it even when it was kicking your butt.
MUMBO!
He was actually my first introduction to Minecraft UA-camrs, and thus my introduction to Hermitcraft! So I'm well chuffed to bits with finding your channel!
fun fact: Doc retweeted this video and I meant to look it up, but ADHDidn't, and now the algorithm decided "you messed up" and here I am anyways!
A wonderfully chobblesome project.
It is actually *very* chobblesome 🥹🥹
UA-cam kept recommending this video for a while. Today i said "fiiine ill watch it" ...the algorithm is scary. cause yup! that was a very fun video! well done on everything! the storytelling, the editing, the hour upon hours of failing, learning, improving and then starting back over at failiing again till you finally made an amazing project.
She really needs a reserved spot for hermitcraft she makes such cool and creative things perfect for hermit craft.
tbh, I've come across multiple cats in my life, that I would've called Mumbo Jumbo!
Grian and mumbo need to see this
Mumbo already has, so i'm sure he'll tell Grian XD
Mumbo for Mayor.
I swear I saw this video a day ago and it has gained over 100,000 views since then. So proud I’m so excited to watch even just 20 seconds in!
This is so good, the whole thing, coding is so terrible but also so satisfying when you can get it to work, I never understand half of the things you do but I’m always so impressed and your Grumbot is so cute!
Nail on the head with why Chatgpt! It's amazing for learning projects because alot of the times the issues are simple but you miss them because nervous/ignorant (EVERYBODY goes through this).
Honestly im just super proud seeing someone enjoy themselves with techy stuff like this!
Been lurking on your channel for like 2 weeks, but you have definitely earned my subscription. This is great!
As a programmer, I very much relate to your struggles lol.
Can't wait to see what you make next!
