Favorite great builds?

[schneefink]

I don't watch Hermitcraft yet but I saw a picture of this and then had to check out ZombieCleo's recent video about her castle:

Watch on YouTube

I watched it three times because it's gorgeous.
Now I'm interested in checking out more great builds on Hermitcraft, any recs?

1. They're *all* gorgeous, Hermitcraft is the land of unfairly gorgeous builds.

Although really, most of them don't spend that much time in their videos just showing off their builds, I guess unfairly gorgeous builds are just kind of mundane to them now...

Uh. Jevin's latest episode is him building a gorgeous castle hall from scratch, and GeminiTay and PearlescentMoon both showed off some really good base work in their recent episodes too!

2. Be careful, you will end up like me, doing nothing but watching Hermitcraft all the time!

That massive alien flower of Pearl's looks great, the whole area does, whoa. All of these are very impressive!

...I do not have time to start watching Hermitcraft, dammit. This was a mistake.

Pearl's base is amazing and super different from anything else I've seen!

Also, yes.

[lexicalcrow]

omg yes, Cleo's base is SO GOOD omg. They did such a great job with it. <3

As for other recs, you will and will not regret me telling you to watch GoodTimesWithScar. His giant elven tree from the start of the season, and the Scarland theme park he's building are just amazing, amazing builds. He does things with blocks I cannot comprehend. A true minecraft artist frfr. <3

Also BdoubleO100/Bdubs has done some really great builds this season. He has a great grasp of texturing and shading and the details he puts into his builds are so nice. If I could get even half as good as Bdubs, I'd be happy tbh.

Also hard agree, Jev's done some really great builds this season. I especially like his starter base. And yes, Pearl and Gem are amazing builders, they were the ones who got me into Hermitcraft. :D

Throwing in a final rec for my fave cubfan135, the madlad, and an underrated builder frfr. Watch his s8, he created an entire custom canyon biome and it's so fkn gorgeous. <3 His great pyramid from s7 is also my favourite. He's done some really nice stuff this season as well though he's not doing a megabase this time, so he's got a bunch of smaller builds scattered across the world.

But yeah, tbh, I could rec you almost all the hermits bc there are so many awesome builders there. It just depends on which hermits you vibe with tbh. Try a bunch and see who you like! <3

You're just telling me to watch Hermitcraft! I don't have time for that! ^^
Though if I did start watching I would definitely start with GoodTimesWithScar, he seems pretty cool from what I've seen of him in MCC.

Could you point me to videos in which they're showing off their finished builds? :)

[lexicalcrow]

Ahaha yeah, sorry. XD It can be like that, though. You start with one, and it just spirals from there. :D Scar is amazing and def a great place to start though! I'll see if I can find some specific episodes for his builds, and for some of the others I rec'd. <3

[lexicalcrow]

I APOLOGISE THAT THIS IS A LOT OF VIDEOS. D: But I wanted to be thorough for all my recs and you can pick and choose which sound interesting to you. <3 I totally get not having time to watch Hermitcraft but wanting to see the finished builds, so hopefully this is enough for now. <3

For Pearl, I see from above you've seen the giant flower? bc that's honestly spectacular. She's SO GOOD at organics I can't even. Other builds of hers you should check out include:
- the shopping district portal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PELg3X6AQ_M
- the giant mushroom tower thingie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aKKkXMhN3M
- and this is from the crossover with Empires but the arena she and Mythical Sausage improv'd was so good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpywo7joKPY

Mythical Sausage is also an an amazing builder, for the record, and if you want amazing builds, he's also one to go to as well. His Empires s2 builds have been absolutely spectacular and are by far my favourites that he's ever done. The Cathedral of Santa Perla is one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdP98uqA7Fk

For Gem, I'd honestly rec her Empires stuff more if you want finished builds tbh. The megabase has been a work in progress for such a long time, it's hard to really show off much in the way of finished stuff. But the stuff she's building on Empires is actually much smaller in scale and you'll find more finished builds there.

For Scar, you have to see his latest about the custom biome that he's built around where the castle will be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88ODAMKW4K4

And this is the main street of Scarland iirc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlCF9-xjXzk

Oh, the redstone shop is great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjKJki_H7E4

And the tanker and hurricane he built at the trading farm he, Grian, and Tango own is spectacular: this ep for the tanker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0I6JSVOw-0 and this ep for the hurricane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWihEDctPKA

Also the mans literally built a giant tree in episode one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5K7mGDYUms&t=1423s

And this is the full elven base iirc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6coT21RT7HQ

Bdubs has some amazing builds:
- the Crastle ofc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOZAuTFwXgI
- The Moss Shop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOfVG676j8E
- the big gate dungeon thingie, which I am not sure he has actually finished the interiors of yet but the way he talks about the texturing he used for this is very insightful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Ef7FgQpEk
- This is part of the interior of his base and I'm including it bc he has such an eye for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGcfbm-Yrg0

For Cub, I'm reccing some s9 stuff bc I can't remember in which ep he shows off the whole enchanted desert and canyon and I'd have to rewatch some eps to figure that out. But for his smaller builds, there's the storage room thing from the beginning of s9 for the base he shared with Ren:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdM9wwbo33M

Plus the basement he built in Scar's tree is amazing. He has such a great ability to match Scar's style, which he also showed off in s4 as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl_Gi8xNXXw

So many links, thank you!!
I've only managed to check out a few of them so far (loved Scar's custom trees - it somehow never occurred to me to make custom completely new trees but they look great) but I look forward to all of them :D

[lexicalcrow]

I didn't want to, like, overwhelm you with links, but that should give you a good taste of their builds and video style. <3

I adore Scar's trees, he's just so good at landscaping frfr. You won't find many people who'll do the netherite hoe that early simply so he can make a giant tree in episode one. He has a great artistic style and he really understands how to make builds come alive. I've learned so much about how to build from him ngl.
