How Hermitcraft Became Unstoppable

- Minecraft SMPs, a viral topic in the minecraft community with varius SMPs like the Dream SMP, Lifesteal SMP and many more being extremely popular. Although these SMPs took over the community by storm, they eventually lost popularity and ended. But how did Hermitcraft manage to last for so long and how is it still extremely popular after 12 years? Stick around until the end to find out.

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!
There are a couple more mistakes that slipped through, but I'm glad you at least pointed this one out.
good video tho
@@Bigbroplays thanks
@@obvLogan welcome
the hermitcraft smp is prolly the only smp to be unaffected by drama after technoblade's death
I think hermitcraft only had 2 dramas in its entire runtime
1 being generikb trying to re enter the server
And 2 a member from the old seasons being accused of something that i cant remember
@@CERISTHEDEV exactly
@@CERISTHEDEV better than the dream smp
Well, they had one of their own members die to cancer- and they were all very supportive and understanding when both happened. :')
@@imMittensKitten W smp
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
@@captainomc3802 yeah very true
Most of them also went to university, graduated, started families, or have/had other jobs. They didn't all walk into the limelight five seconds into puberty (well a couple but still)
@@thepartridgesings This is something that I appreciate about the hermits, they are not just a bunch of kids trying to gain audience, they are mostly adults that already experienced life outside of the internet. I love that some hermits have degrees, like Grian, Cleo or Stress and in so many different areas and there is also Cub who has multiple degrees (Physics and Astronomy) and even has papers published academic journals but are on the server causing chaos and shenanigans. They are a hardworking bunch
@fatimagochi1184 I didn't know that about Cub, that's really cool
@@fatimagochi1184 don't forget docm who played basketball and also has a couple of degrees before he wwnt into content! No wonder he m's a redstone madman...
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
yeah i was planning on putting mindcrack in but i just decided to skip it without any real reason. thanks for the feedback and support i appreciate it
and it seems weird to list a random assortment of founding members without mentioning THE founder and name giver of HC
Yeah - Guudeboulderfist actually started Mindcrack Season 1 as a singleplayer world before SMP was released in order to prepare. When SMP came out, he immediately started Mindcrack Season 2 specifically for content creators and brought other players in like Jsano19 (the inventor of pranking as opposed to griefing).
Later, when Generikb tried to join Mindcrack, Guude basically said, we don't he spots right now, but there is nothing stopping anyone starting their own SMP server for content creators.
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).
yeah i agree, the members and viewers are both mature enough to realise that they shouldn't get mad or be mad at others because of a minecraft game and rather treat it how it should be treated which is just as a joke!
Remember, "If it's in the video they're fine with it"
Yeah, a good example of this was during the S7 Mycelium war where Grian *repeatedly* stressed that it was all in good fun and not meant to be a serious conflict, even telling his viewers NOT to send hate towards the other side.
@@Coraledge truue
No one in dream Smp had their feelings hurt 😂😂😂. It was all scripted ahead of time. Every member knew what was going to happen before it happened.
Doc, Etho and Impulse all joined Hermitcraft in season 3 - not season 6 as this video suggests.
oh thats my bad i got some information from a fan wiki so that mighta been wrong. I'll make sure to double-check the facts next time
Season 6 is when grain joined hermitcraft
Also I'm sure bDubs joined near the end of season 6, I just recently rewatched it
@@Weerobertg bdubs joined in season one, im pretty sure he just took a break or something
@@deadsniper7679 And adding Grian added a lot to server, he made some iconic games and events like poultry man, the civil war, Demise etc.
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
Season 9 for G was more of a nostalgia season. Plus, he and fWhip were working together to make the Rift crossover happen. Peace, Love, and Plants was more Mumbo's theme in season 8, the season Pearl and Gem were added to the server.
@@ECSDaemon yeha I mised the season I believe XD
@@ECSDaemon I wouldn't neseccarily say Season 9 was a Nostalgia season. The only thing that was brought back was Grumbot, from Season 7, and even then it was used as a device for a totally NEW story, instead of fanservice. The little lore tidbits we got that enhanced the story of S7 were amazing though, I'll admit that.
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
It probably helps that it's got a lot of overlap with Hermitcraft (crossover notwithstanding)
@@SpectroliteDS Nah S1 had no hermitcraft members at that point at and was very popular. It honestly was a huge boost for many of those creators too!
@@pikum2272there wasn't a crossover but I think pearl was in hermitcraft season 8 at the same time she was in empires season 1! I think maybe geminitay was too, but I'm not too sure.
@@spiritcat101 U might be right with pearl but definitely not gem! I think pearl joined HC right after empires started iirc
@pikum2272 Both Gem and Pearl were in season one of empires, along with being hermits!
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.
exactly, the server just seems so natural and organic
@@obvLogan I also the fact they fix their own prank's collateral damage. Sometimes it doesn't work. But still they help each other out cleaning up the mess.
Remembering the Buttercup and DocM arc. LOL!
@@decadeultimagamer ye LOL very true
You think THAT'S impressive? Sorry to brag, but I've been watching since season 6.
@@objectshowfan362heh.. ive been watching since season 4! 😜🤪(now hopefully someone who's been watching since s2 will reply next...)
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.
That is a very good point actually. Xisuma's ''make your hermitcraft'' advice, no matter how much of a positive morale, inherently doesn't work unless you have a lot of extremely dedicated friends, which, a lot of people don't. Hermits just got lucky to have one another, but we aren't that lucky.
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.
Decked out is from season 7. The first iteration. Season 9 had Decked out 2. The second iteration.
@@eduardpeeterlemming yes, but we all know that DO2 surpasses the first version so much that it is now just the official version of Decked Out. Just look at Tango’s livestream titles, he doesn’t call it Decked Out 2, he calls it Decked Out.
Yes, Decked Out absolutely exploded and for all the right reasons. It may very well be the greatest singular creation in all of Minecraft history.
How mermitcraft became unstoppable then spends 5/8 minutes talking about other SMPs
this wasnt the original title so i can see how it doesnt seem to make much sense
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
thanks a lot!
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.
i appreciate your feedback!
#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)
And because it's players who are on hermticraft or simillar servers/friendgroup whoch tends to also be more OGs and they don't overdo the idea.....
@@thepartridgesings yeah
plus if the member can't join a Life stream then they either: AFK (Grian) or get another player to replace them w/ amnesia (aka Gem & Lizzie )
seriously? I can’t wait!!
@@hannahyoung6762 yeqh
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 :)
*Grain*
Bread
Who is this "Grain" character?
people call dream and the dream smp cringe but its probably helped others gain interest in minecraft as well
...they're screaming white boys, how is that something you would want to be inspired of ??
🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓
it definitely has helped increase minecraft's popularity, inadvertantly helping all the other servers grow, it's just unfortunate that it also produced a lot of controversy and toxicity
@@russinarmy5345 "🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓" 🤓
The documentary was so detailed and well done. Appreciate the cool video!
tysm for the support i really appreciate it
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?
I think i must've said that accidentally. Either that or the fan wiki was wrong
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
glad you enjoyed lol 🤣
Well good luck choosing who to watch there’s like 19 members now, typically ppl only watch 1-3 creators. Mumbo and Grian being the most popular as well as interacting with each other the most. But fret not! For some kind fans have taken it upon themselves to watch every perspective and create an informative news show recapping every week called simply “Hermitcraft Recap” if you are interested in keeping up with everything going on.
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
"how hermitcraft became unstoppable"
and then starts talking about completely unrelated things for 5 minutes lol
The title has been changed since the video was made so i agree why you think its slightly confusing
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
Lol yeah! it was a great vid btw
@obvLogan thanks man ;)
i do feel like hermitcraft is like the giga chad of smp servers
Filled with so much misinformation...
@@FharishAhmedPortfolio can u send timestamps so ik what i got wrong please
@@obvLogan Google GenerikB, Jessasin, Biffa...
Heck, you even forgot about MindCrack.
You'll get what I'm saying.
Engagement is one thing, blatant lies, are another.
Since this video is showing up in people's feeds, there are far knowledgeable people, who might humble you in your journey.
You're the type of a reporter that Tucker Carlson hates.
Be Well.
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
i said it "started off" with those members but more were added at a later date
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 ❤
Ofc :)
Someone really should make a documentary about mianite because that was one of the OGs

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.
i sort of meant that during the time he was making content, he was consistent
also, everytime a Hermit takes a break in season none of their stuff or builds are trashed or their shop profits stolen. hermits understand that real life happens and sometimes players need to step away
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
I sorta just left him out of the video as he isn't too relevant these days
