Hermitcraft X - Blog Posts

With only two cases of Tall Claims Court so far in Hermitcraft Season 10, the ore snatcher or ore snatchers has been narrowed down to potential subjects between thirteen (excluding Doc) out of the 25 current hermits in Hermitcraft. We were revealed that under the oath, Cub has "strong reason to believe that the ore snatcher is in this room right now." From this statement we can narrow down the suspect or suspect(s) to Bdubs, False, Cleo, Ren, Joehills, Cub, Joel, xB, Beef, Keralis, Jevin, Mumbo and Scar.

Back in August, multiple clues were given by the supposed original Ore-Snatcher revealling that there were multiple ore-snatchers impostering to possibley enrage Doc once more. These clues being:

I return from holidays and find imposters $

Sorry GOAT... We put them back. Thank you for the fun!

Laters GOAT. I have new targets now $

All put on seperate warped wooden signs with the only distinguishable facts being their return from a break or vacation and the signiture use of "$" as the Glitcher. This results in leading theories from the community of Hermitcraft and Doc himself suspecting Cub who until December, declared himself not "the Ore-snatcher".

So this leads to now where until four days ago a new subreddit post was posted on the Hermitcraft Subreddit where majority of the commentators either speculated it was Cub, a collab between multiple hermits or a title passed between hermits either intentionally or not.

This stacks up with Cub's answer towards him answering "Are you the Ore-snatcher" referring to the singular ore-snatcher that Doc assumes is the only with the word "the" with context referring to a singular person. This can be easily denied under the oath if the Ore Snatcher was a title stated by one person.

So one of the most lore-indepth wildcards of Wild Life would be the superpowers that relates past seasons of the Life Series and acknowledges other series (eg. Hermitcraft and Evo) and their personal lore to attribute to each participant's power.

Starting alphabetically,

Bdubs power is essentially all related to time and his ability to manipulate the day cycle expentially. With the clock being his main motif across all Life Series, the ability to slow and speed time according to his will is easily solvable but with the inclusion of the Hermitcraft and Empires crossover event, his ability to speed time according to his sleep schedule becomes another layer deep. Besides the clock being a main symbol for Bdubs, the concept of sleep is another that has essentially been from the beginning of Hermitcraft. Always carrying a bed and sleeping whenever. The Empires crossover Bdubs was framed as a god of sorts of the Sun. Always bright and always there when the Sun remained as its brightest.

Bigb can summon creaking. He creaking. He is like a king or dimplomant to the players who invade their home and they view him as their kin so he has the responsibility and power to summon them.

Ethoslab based of Kakashi from Naruto is by definition a ninja. An escapee or fugitive at best. So with his ability to jump higher boosted by wind charges can be explained by his connection to the shonen series and the inclusion of the mace could be chalked up to typically stories of protagonists gaining resources or inventory to defeat the "Big Bad" or achieve some sort of goal that is to win the Life Series.

GeminiTay or GeminiSlay named by others intimidated by her, has slayed each participant brutally in the Life Series and on Hermitcraft rewarding her the reputation from her immense PvP skills. So with her power of astral projection, it acts retribution for the slayed to talk and apologise or instigate to those dead for her or others benefit.

GoodTimeWithScar is nortorious for being not PG friendly so the inclusion of one of his powers been the ability to ride people, it's self explanatory. Yet as Scar is commonly associated with and as a vex, his other powers of extreme knockback and thorns can be explained by the hostile and aggressivness of the mob.

Grian as essentially the grandmaster or orchestrator of the Life Series would have access to all the powers and mimic but not fully copy the others' powers. Yet because of his power chained by an omnipresent force, he's unable to fully copy the powers but imitate them for only short periods of time.

ImpulseSV and his teleportation powers could derive from his cyber-theme aesthetic for his Hermitcraft Season X base. With most series of fictions based around cyberpunk civilisations, technologies like teleporation and other advanced transportational devices are commonly utilsed. Resulting in Impulse's power of teleportation and the ability to swap the position of another with himself.

Martyn power is boosted hearing cause he's a Listener.

So Lizzie or LDShadowLady's inflicts blindless or a shadow upon the surrounding people in her radius and resulting her in temporary invisibility and blindess to others around her. But from her endless descent into the void in Secret Life, arises Lizzie with trails of the void clinging to grasp the light of the overworld. Causing the void remnants to spread to others and infect them with blindness in all for the hope to spread towards the light from the cold world of the End.

With the ability to fly, PearlescentMoon carries aesthetics relating to Greek mythology in both her powers and external design choices. As one of the Postmasters of Hermitcraft, Pearl is essentially the builder and additional redstone help of the trio for the postoffice and other aesthetic designs. Hermes the herald or messenger of the Olympus gods delievers messages to other celestial dieties and mortals similar to Pearl's jobs as a Postmaster. Other than the similar professions, both Pearl and Hermes wear a petasos which is essentially a wide-brimmed hat that is commoly adorned for shade and for Hermes, additional wings to the sides of the hat. Symbolising their shared ability to fly quickly and efficiently for a purpose.

As RentheDog is commonly interpreted as a dog-hybrid of sorts by the Hermitcraft and Life Series community, his ability to splice and copy the DNA of others to match their appearance could be an aftermath or positive side-effect from his hybrid mutation.

Similar to Ren, Scott has the capability to transform into any mob in sight and similar to Limited Life where he was depicted as a siren as part of the Mean Gills. His ability to shape-shift into any mob regardless if it's passive or aggressive could be similar to his mutliple origins from New Life SMP and Origin SMP and the reflect the changing nature of his powers.

So Joel with essentially triple jump could be hinting his slimely origins of his Shrek skin in the swamp. Where the swamp generally spawns slimes at a higher rate than other slime chunks and slime blocks harvested from the slimes can be used as jump boosts. Resulting in the triple jump.

After just breaking the Canary Curse two seasons ago, SolidarityGaming or Jimmy has the power to turn fully invisible until someone or something damages him. Ever since his debut to the Watchers back in Evo, Jimmy has been under constant surveillance by the Watchers as an object of their amusement. Always failing to reach even the finale and fumbling to keep alive. Yet when he broke the curse and relayed it too another, he was discarded. Seen invisible to the Watchers as he had become an object of boredom by reaching his resolution. So that's where his invisibility comes from.

Tango with his cowardly approach to things, has constantly ran away from situations but with this power, it supercharges his speed allowing him to become part of the fight and conflict instead of running away. And with his ability to frost-walk on ice, it could recall his Season 9's skin back when he was the Dungeon Master in Decked Out II and became an icy persona.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 22

So new week, new theory about Doc's new poker game and the hermits decided to be used as the monarchs and joker for each type of deck. Innovated from the French-suited playing cards, Doc's poker deck has four suits, diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades, and each suiting having three court cards, King, Queen and Jack. This results in only twelve available spaces considering one hermit takes one court card each and leaves fifteen hermits unable to be represented by the cards. Nethertheless even with the limited representation of the hermits, each cards has its depth and lore.

Starting with the suit of diamond, has Doc representing its King, Gem representing its Queen and Scar representing its Jack. As diamonds is represented as a valuable material considering its bartering and trading value in Hermitcraft, being the main currency for shops, it's reasonable that Doc would be the face of Kings of Diamonds. Gem's reasoning is also obvious due to her talent considering both PVP and her building skills. Finally Scar, being the Jack of Diamonds is poetic due to his bartering (scamming) skills built from his charisma to trade for "diamond" tiered items with common items.

The court of Hearts is a different story considering its representatives are Rendog for the King, Falsesymmetry for the Queen and Bdubs as its Jack. With the symbol of Hearts often depicted as red and hearts in general epitomising the living flesh of a person, Ren as the King is perfect. As RentheKing in Hermitcraft Season Nine and the Red King back in Third Life, Ren deserves the position of King of Hearts. Second to the King of Hearts, is Falsesymmetry, the winner of Season's 10 demise. With hearts also depicting the life and soul of a person, it's also fitting for the winner to recieve the mantle of Queen of Hearts. The final court of Jacks is Bdubs, who in Season Nine of Hermitcraft was the assistant or right-hand man to RentheKing. Resulting in his title of the rank below the King, Jacks of Hearts.

With the court of Spades, majority of its court was already explained by Doc in his previous Hermitcraft 10 episode, (29) with the Jack of Spades being Mumbo, a spoon, Etho being definitively cool and the suit of Spades being objectively cool (in Doc's perspective), and Pearl fitting the role of Queen of Spades. But the reasonings run deeper than this besides Mumbo's spoon reasoning. Take Pearl, the Queen of Spades. Back in Season Nine, she was the Cleaning Lady, taking on jobs of cleaning chestmonsters and other messes with a price. Spades is often linked with the concept of cleaning so it was natural to pick Pearl. The final court card, Kings of Spades, is given to Etho and rightfully so because of his connections to Shade-E-E. Originally Shade-E-E was a "subscription service" and later evolved to a "gardening service" which entailed him using dirt and other blocks to create pixel artworks for the other hermits in saeson seven. And what else is connected to dirt, spades, hence the King of Spades being Ethoslab.

The final suit, Clubs, consist of King of Clubs being Xisumavoid, Queen of Clubs being ZombieCleo and Jack of Clubs being Grian. Although the listed hermits' connections to the suit of Clubs may be vague, there is a connection hidden between the layers of history the deck of cards retains. With majority depictions of a deck of cards using French-suited playing cards, other versions of the standard 52-card deck is found throughout multiple continents with German depications of the Club being an acorn. Acorns also being a symbol of strength and resilience, a trait Xisuma has constantly demonstrated throughout the decade Hermitcraft has been running. Cleo's connections of the suit of Clubs includes her role as an enforcing monarchy, the Queen, with a royal baton otherwise known as a sceptre being a symbol of royalty. Finally, Grian's relation to the Club are the multiple depictions of the suit of Clubs being of a plant. Plants and weeds like the clover and acorns are all edible to a range of bird species, both domestic and wild and with the fandom's collective decision to represent Grian has a human with avian features, it's his connections to birds that create his relationship with the Jack of Clubs.

These twelve court cards all with their representative hermits all have depth and lore leading their portrayal as the monarchs and Jacks of each suit.

So this theory is finally here and I hope it made up for the multiple weeks without theories. Still have to cope with exams but soon I will be free from these shackles.

Theories and Headcannons Pt 21

With Grian's latest episode and the Grumbo crumbs he and Mumbo gave to the community, this weekly theory would entail Grian's current endeavours with Mumbo. Ever since Season 8 of Hermitcraft, Mumbo has kept Grian's soul as a substitute to expell the pig curse that tormented him for multiple episodes. This link between Mumbo and Grian was expressed by a waffle back on both Grian's and Mumbo's head until now in Season 10 where Mumbo's skin has been replaced with an aged facade and the removal of the waffle.

The extraction of the waffle would symbolise the final rejection of sorts and the return of pure Mumbo. But with Grian's latest episode the revelation of Mumbo's skin development is finally realised by both members. With the use of Grian's mace he retrieves Mumbo's head realising that a part of him, treasured and kept safely with a trusted someone is gone.

So with the mace, an item treasured by Grian, he decimates Mumbo to retrieve his head. To finally recover the remaining fragment of his soul lost in the continuous flow of time.

Still trying to get back into the flow of writing weekly.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 20

So this weekly theory stems from ZombieCleo's innate skill to tinker and alter armor stands to produce masterpieces demonstrating her artistic capabilities. Throughout the season, they have also began to teach and pass the knowledge of armour stands to other hermits (Mumbo) who have also produced displays. Livening the articulate environments and infrastructure with captured stillness.

But from a lore perspective, where did their technical skills and expertise originate from? Over multiple seasons, Cleo has used and changed from multiple skins with a core theme existing between each outer layer. Her zombine origins.

Her vicious behaviour shown during the Life Series can be linked to her ability to manipulate corporses strewn to be strung and tightened into positions captivating the lively energy in the lifeless. Even with her zombie abilities, has the ability to morph and swap her skins to atttribute to crafting these armour stands.

From Cleo's zombie origins, their skill to produce and alter armour to her has helped her form gorgeous and expressive displays of art throughout multiple seasons.

Sorry for the late entry, I'm trying to get back into the flow of writing these weekly theories again after the two week break.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 19

So the ore snatcher has struck again in Doc's latest Hermitcraft episode (24) during his vacation in France revealing the peace treaty and return of the stolen deepslate diamond ores were a hoax implanted by an impersonating hermit as a way to coax Doc from flooding the whole world of Hermitcraft Season 10.

So this concludes that JoeHill wasn't the intitial or prime as the "true" ore snatcher but a acquaintance or assistant to the original ore snatcher. Leaving three signs as final goodbye message to Doc after returing the stole deepslate ore thanking him for the fun from the conducted shenanigans.

So the signs were crafted from warped wood stating :

I return from holidays and find imposters $

Sorry GOAT... We put them back. Thank you for the fun!

Laters GOAT. I have new targets now $

So with this new revelation of information there's still two main question unanswered that are, who is/are the ore snatcher and who are they aiming for next?

From the evidence gathered, in Sign 2 it used the pronoun of "we" compared to the other adjecent signs using "I" so this would suggest that the ore snatcher is an overmind of sorts. Controlling and manipulating others as a leader. With the previous peace treaty, that would mean as a futile, last ditch effort to halt Doc's efforts to flood the server was an impulsive move made by one of the employers without the Ore snatcher's permission. Effectively JoeHills could've been one of the minions commissioned or ordered to act as a punching bag to Doc's wrath.

So who is the leader or the Ore snatcher? Leaeding speculations and Doc conclude that Cub may be the man behind the escapades due to his nature of being the Jingler. But previous signs placed in the stall have also being signed by $, concluding that the leader would have been the face of the Ore Snatchers and the others as backups or assistants. Another leading clue is in Sign 1, "I return from holidays" but I have no clue who have returned from their break besides Doc. So that question still remains a mystery.

Another inquiry would be who would be the next target(s) for the Ore Snatchers? The use of plurals could mean these series of events would be already preplanned or loosely planned like guidelines in a story. But who knows. Maybe the next big technical redstone project would be the next target of the Ore Snatchers.

Yes Xisuma, they MyStErIoUsLy disappeared

Xisuma : You see the other day all of our turtles in the the turtle moshpit mysteriously disappeared somehow

Xisuma : It is very tragic but I have found a new home for armadilos over here

*Proceeds to display the armodilos in the turtle moshpit

Xisuma I thought turtles was your brethern why did you have to slaughter them.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 18

So this theory is about the snails and what their plans after their laundering escapades at Big Ron. So far, the snails have taken over and vandalized Gem's lighthouse, and began tormenting Scar for multiple weeks, modifying his train, excavating his ore mountain and making a success laundering business and finally moved onto enveloping Tango's airship and claiming it as theirs.

Through their displayed prowess the snails have demonstrated multiple times that they can indefinately change volume, multiply and merge themselves, secrete corrosive substances and overtake and control innaminate objects.

And currently they have taken over Tango's steam punk airship for unknown intensions. Establishing their claim by sprouting long, tendrilous stalks for eyes on the front of the airship so what are they planning with this new development of power?

Previously the snails have stolen deepslate diamonds from Scar's ore mountain and constructed a successful laundering business with a net profit so with Tango's copper farm inside, could they steal the copper and sell the crafted copper items for more, sure. If it was a previous update when the crafting materials for copper items were overpriced.

But another potential reason is spreading the ownership of the snails. Stated before, snails have the capability of multiplying and with the introduction of Gem's snail it's possible for other snails to rain down from heavens and be claimed by another hermit. With the airship aimed at Magic Mountain, (where the most amount of hermits are based at) it's a high possibility where the snails could spread their influence to the Magic Mountain Crew and eventually take over the server through the Shopping District.

It was clear before that the (assistant) Permit Manager didn't mind the snail's business as one of them contributed to the success of them so, with the backup of the Assistant Permit Manager, the snails could infiltrate the hermits and finally dominate the server with the dozens of snails backed by their sides.

Etho and Eefo the chaotic duo of clones

they both be chilling

MORE Theories and Headcannons Pt. 14

So this Hermitcraft theory is that Xisuma's copper cathedral is an old, abandoned structure dedicated to Evil X, Xisuma's evil counterpart. With the new release of the Hermitcraft TCG cards, comes the hermits and their evil counterparts which include HelsKnight, Evil X and many more.

So Xisuma's copper cathedral has an imposing black front that's basically installed into a mountain with copper trims that enhance the front of the cathedral. It just gives off Evil Xisuma vibes.

---------

._. that's all I had to write

BRO GUYS I JUST WATCHED DOC's NEW EPISODE and it seems like this theory is standing up. Framing Scar seems like Joel. Joel putting the sign claiming it wasn't him seems like Joel. Etho tinkering with the alarm seems like Etho. IT'S THE BOAT BOYS

Theoreisiosous and Headcannonous Pt. 13

So before Doc or the other hermits reveal who the ore snatcher was, I want to explain my theory that Etho and Joel or the Boatboys were the real culprits when stealing Doc's deepslate diamond ore.

My reasoning is that Etho being the technical or redstone genius he is, just wants to have some fun poking the goat as he's rarely seen online or posts anymore. And why Joel is also included, is his ability to imitate or emulate the styles and characteristics of other hermits. Take example of him posing as Etho when creating the simplistic statues of different hermits and keeping that facade for a few weeks.

So with this duo, it's possible for both of them to be capable of being the ore snatcher. With Etho's technical genius of swapping the ore with empty deepslate WITHOUT breaking the machinery and Joel's imitative techniques by framing hermits such as Scar as the ore stealer.

But there are some holes or intricacies in this theory that contradict what is considered to be cannon information in Hermitcraft. Some of these being that Etho would be careful or downright avoiding intricate redstone technology and he's being spending less time on Hermitcraft, and that the sneaky or stealthy style of the oresnatcher doesn't match Joel's style of messing with other hermits.

But it's still a theory.

Theories and Headconnans Pt. 12

So this theory is that Hermitcraft season 10 Scar and Secret Life Scar from the Life Series.

This thoery started during Scar's episode of building his nether portal that was equipped with deadly mobs as defense and joke mechanisim as an outlet for his destestment against nether portals. So basically the colour purple is often associated with nether portals and other dimensional portals but what also is associated with purple are the Watchers.

The colour purple dates back to Persian era as a symbol of royalty, suprege and superiority due to the intricate method to extract that colour naturally. And these attributes also fits the characterisitcs shown by the Watchers through canon or agreeded fanon events.

So the nether portal was the way (SL) Scar transported to Hermitcraft through the power of Watcher shenanigans hence the magicial properties and the physics-defying attributes the renovated (overworld) nether portal has. But the position the overworld portal is located suggests that the train has other plans for interdimensional trade but more of an attempt to rediscover the world that brought torture and anguish to his friends.

Another piece of evidence is his interaction with the other members of the Magic Mountain Crew and the mountain itself during the second meeting of the Magic Mountain Crew. During the meeting of excavating the volcano, Grian offered the idea of creating a "boogey situation" that has one person being killed every meeting on magic mountain. Scar (and the other members) encouraged this idea but also contributed the idea of sacrifices. Maybe like a sacrifice to cure some sort of bloodlust from Secret Life.

So maybe (HC 10) Scar is from Secret Life but he may be not but it can also be speculation.

GOOGLE WHY

what did they do to ijevin

noooo hes a reality tv show now

Headcannons + Theories Pt.9

So Mumbo's plan to become the richest hermit on Hermitcraft for Season 10:

Step 1. snails

By hiring the snails to sabotage the tower of ores, he collectively disrupts Scar's ability to become the richest hermit

Collects the mined ore (diamonds) from the snails and stocks the internal storage of his Big Ron's shops with deepslate diamonds

Step 2. big ron

Using the remaining time of hiring he has with the snails he uses them to exchange the deepslate diamonds for diamonds

Creating an undercover gambling scheme in Big Ron's shop

And under the persona of Ron, he gets a free pass from the PoPo

So that's how Mumbo's going to become the richest hermit in Hermitcraft Season 10.

Joelskall or Smallishbeans joins the fight

Moreeere Theories Pt.4

Some drastic thinking here but do you guys remember the obelisk Iskall built back in the earlier episodes of season 10 to cover up his monstrosity of a starter base?

Well the obelisk, made out of stone and enscribed with Standard Galatic Alphabet (SGA), may have a vital role in connecting the world of the Life Series to Hermitcraft.

So basically an obelisk represents monuments, commerating the dead, representing monarchy and honouring the gods. But in the Kane Chronicles (by Rick Riordan a classic), obelisks where used as a mode of transportation through teleportation and so I'm theorising that through the inscriptions written on Iskall's obelisk, similar to the symbols surrounding in fanart depicting, is a link or holds some importance to the world of Life Series.

This obelisk could hold the memories or bring people not normally in Hermitcraft but are in the Life Series, eg. Big B, and could create a crossover or dramatic moments when lore happens. And if hermitmembers where to come in contact to it, a surge of memories or flashbacks retelling the events of the Life Series could be placed in their brains for the opportunity of AnGsT.

Brainrotting idea since the beginning of hermitcraft :P

some more theories pt.3

BUT ITS HERMITCRAFT SEASON 10 (mainly)

So the semi-battle arena Gem made back for practise for MCC season 4 in one of her latest episodes of terraforming the beaches had I believe TIES and Scar participate in the pvp pracitices with Gem. So there was a moment when Gem was versing Scar and he keeps repeating sorry and continously apologising just like in Third Life against the duel between Grian.

These moments were during where the persona of Scar had friends around or alliances during the dueling. Eg. Hermitcraft and Third Life with Grian.

But with Secret Life against Pearl, he was more unhinged due to the lack of alliances through the tasks the Taskmaster gave him. So the basic premise is then that Scar is a social creature that without the constant and positive interactions will gradually become unhinged.

:P
