i am 13 right now and I took inspiration from het base and also had a mini tower with a secret entrance, so she's right a bout playing as a 14 year old mind
I’ve thought of the lore for this: Gem, the protector of the cherry village has been captured during the update by pillagers. They knew that they couldn’t cage her though, so they hid her. Far away from the cherry village leaving the cherry village, without a protector. Meanwhile, Gem finds another village to protect. Gem must challenge the pillagers to a raid of the new village before they raid her cherry village. If the pillagers win then her life will be lost, but if she prevails then the pillagers will give her the location of her cherry village and she’ll be able to go home. But at the end if everything goes well, she’ll have two homes.
You can just build a greenhouse. Water sources won't freeze with any block (with a collision box) over them, even glass. Water sources will ONLY freeze if they are directly exposed to the sky. (For example, a chain will prevent freezing, but vines won't.)
@@mabelmabel8112 Yes, they extend the growing season by trapping heat and sheltering from wind, and can be used all-year round with heating and lighting, used a lot in England to grow mostly tasteless mass-market tomatoes :/ I just wish Minecraft had a few diagonal slope blocks - slope glass pane (for greenhouse), slope tiles, slope concrete, slope wood, slope slate. Slope sandstone for pyramids would be neat too.
5:20 Tip: water logging the water with a slab/stair etc or putting a solid block above it also prevents it from freezing :) 6:46 This means for these water sources underground, they shouldn’t freeze even without the torches above them, since they do not have direct sunlight
best comment for living in a snow biome^^^ would recommend waterlogged slab to place a torch on so you have walkable surface while gathering your crops, and a light source placement so mobs dont spawn. would have said waterlogged trapped door or even sea pickles, but accidently falling into the water source is annoying.. slabs are just much better overall.
@@agent90z waterlogged slabs are always my go to for farms, even in warm biomes. As you mentioned, they prevent falling in the hole, and they are great for placing a light source. I usually opt for a lantern, since torches break too easily when you are harvesting.
Saved me the time of typing the same info. Also useful for Ice Farming. Place a ring of covered source blocks in a frozen biome/high up and they fill the center, then the center freezes but not the ring.
The relaxing aspect is what I like also. So many minecraft videos are about doing things super fast. There's another channel I like called itsmarloe and he's doing a series right now where I think he's on episode 5 or 6 and a whole episode was about finding andesite cause he wanted it for his chimney. That may not sound like the most exciting thing but another thing he's doing is cutting out all of the extra noise in the game so it's mostly silent besides some ambiance. It's probably one of the most relaxing series I've ever seen
I love that too! Like you said. You don’t have to abandon the old world to start a new one. You can just go to a totally different location and start something different! 😁
11:05 The physical position of these villagers gossiping suggests that blocks within your base have been labeled as part of the village due to proximity. The 'center' of the village is between the village and your manor. Unsurprising since they'll expand to roughly any potential job block or bed within 32 blocks of another bed, job block, bell, etc, that is part of the village. That's a fairly substantial range. (Technically, it breaks it down more by subchunks, which can just be thought of as chunks for simplicity. Any (sub)chunk with a claimed block is part of the village. Any (sub)chunk adjacent to a village (sub)chunk that has a potential bed or job block added to it becomes part of the village. So you basically need a "moat" of (sub)chunks around any village to keep any new structure built from joining the village. (A subchunk is just a 16 block tall slice of a chunk.)) If you'd like them to gather in the center of your choosing, place a bell. They'll gather there. Just be aware that villagers may still try to break into your manor until you can get it divorced from the village.
I am not a parent, but being an adult I also prefer these video's. It is just wonderful to wind down to. And if I had children, I would probably prefer them watching Geminitay over today's children's tv shows nowadays. I don't remember cartoons being so crazy loud and jarring when I was young.
@@capedkatyeah! Cartoons are not what they usually were back in the day. Even on Netflix. The kids shows now are just….ehhhhhhhhh 😬. Not educational and fun to watch. Expect Bluey! I love Bluey. A show on Netflix that is good for kids and anyone to watch. Is called Puffin Rock. It’s calming (not loud), fun to watch and it’s a bit educational.
Dido. As a movie protestor, completely agree with this. (I had to watch an alien movie, and my cortisol levels skyrocketed..I didnt come out of my room until an hour later..😭)
PG is over the recommended content exposure for a child. PG means a parent or guardian's discretion as guidance because the exposure is harmful content and needs a mature light, a thought process from a mature adult to evaluate and grow, but ironically all is harmful, though worse if left on their own to discover harmful adults playing a game thought to be suitable for children. Which it's not. Minecraft on its own is PG and not suitable for children.
Friendly (Advice) Reminder GeminiTay. . . .that HOLE you covered? (In the middle of town?) COULD hold/ HIDE Piligers when you do your RAID! Long ago, I was slamming my head against the wall (metaphorically) because I could not seem to FINISH a Pilliger Raid (because some of them ended up under the ground in an area I had previously COVERED UP! (and I couldn't FIND them) VERY frustrating! (so, be sure to REMEMBER the location of that hole, "just in case")
I will always be a fan of a secret entrance on a single player world. I've played like that since I was a little kid and there's something so fun about it!! Really loving the series :)
Gem! I think making a green house for your crops would be so cool! 1 for wheat , 1 for potatoes, etc. but you could add bees! And a cute little garden area!!!❤❤❤ Plus I love this series !! So fun!
I am impressed with how your manor lords village is coming together. Your great building and decorating skills combined with the beautiful natural generation (you definitely got lucky with this seed having a stunning ice spikes, relatively flat land, and well placed hills around the village) around it make this a stunning village and your area as a whole look like the inside of a gigantic snow globe!
tip for the future, if you put paper or a compass into a cartographers table, you can get a map with eight less paper! good for a resource barren area like this.
PLEASE MAKE A GREENHOUSE!!!! It would be so cool to see one in a cold biome! You could also maybe make the greenhouse on top of a natural hot spring so that it makes sense why you would want to build a big greenhouse there. In the books Winterfell has a hot sspring with greenhouses to grow food during the winter and it's really cool!
It's so refreshing to watch a world evolve at a slower, more normal pace. While I absolutely live for each hermitcraft episode, it is nice to be reminded of the calm pace of an average minecrafter.
It‘s been a long time since I‘ve been so excited about a survival or hardcore series. Gem, your excitement over the terrain, the villager houses, mobs, etc. is so infectious! I can‘t wait to see what else you will experience in this world and how you will transform it! 💕 I just went exploring in my own survival world and found my first trial chamber but I also found some gorgeous terrain on the way and it made me think of the first episode of this series. I think I will do what you did too and leave everything behind (at least for a little vacation). Exploring and finding these beautiful landscapes always makes me so excited about Minecraft again! 🥰
Hey Gem! I love the idea of starting in a new location but in the same world. It would be really cool if you did lots of seasons, each one in a different village! Thanks for being one of the best TH-camrs out there!!!
Just a small note on ice/water mechanics: water sources only turn to ice in cold biomes on the condition that they're adjacent to a full block and exposed to open air. So underground water sources will never freeze.
Almost at 2 Million subs lettsss gooo!!! I'm glad I'm here early, your let's plays are always the one that I would never get bored watching, especially during your early let's plays, they always keep me inspired for builds
I LOVE the vibe of your hardcore videos, so cozy and satisfying. I'm 52 and have playing this game for years with my kids and I STILL make secret entrances. Your hide and go seek lighthouse gave me so much inspiration for my own server build. Well done GEM! Also happy pride to all of us in the RAINBOW mafia.
I see new gem video, I click. Seriously though, really enjoying this so far. It’s a throwback to the original hardcore village transformation series. I’ve watched that so often
You make me want to play minecraft so much! This village is so nice too, no weird houses on cliffs or inside caves it's so nice and flat without being super flat.
5:22 yes torches work, i believe any light source does, actually. alternatively you can place a block above the source, since only water sources that are exposed to the sky will freeze. waterlogging also works, since two blocks cannot share the same space
i know this is really random and probably insignificant, but thank you so much for putting the time abd effort into creating custom subtitles. im autistic, so auditory processing can be hard for me, which makes subtitles very helpful. seeing that you put the effort into making sure they're correct and well-paced, while small, means the world!
I really needed this. TW for grief and death of a pet My dog, Romeo, needed a friend. We got a golden doodle rescue, Percy, this past Sunday. He was the sweetest boy, he'd cuddle with you for hours and love to watch tv and youtube videos. He wasn't eating, though, and we got concerned. We took him to the vet on Tuesday. They found he had an obstructed small intestine, likely from eating something while with his foster family. We took him to the best emergency vet in our area that night where he had surgery. We visited him yesterday, Wednesday, and the vet was pleased with his progress. Early this morning, Thursday, Percy went into cardiac arrest suddenly. The vet did everything they could, but it was simply his time. They called us crying, because he was the sweetest dog they'd ever met. I've felt devastated ever since. Your videos have cheered me up at all times in my life. They have brought me comfort when I'm sad, and made me even more happy when life is good. Percy also watched one of your videos with me, and I think he liked it. So thank you. Thank you for comforting me now. Thank you for giving my doodlebug some fun in the few days he had a home.
You had a seriously rough week to say the least. please take it easy on yourself, you sound like you're a great pet parent 🥲 sad things happen to good people and that's pretty shit. I feel so sad for your loss♥ and I hope when you gave all this a safe spot where it can be at peace in your heart, you will not be discouraged on your pet parent journey.
I love the palette and block choices- especially the oft overlooked cobble. It gives this village a very natural feeling, truly built up from what's in the environment. Where the cherry village felt whimsical, this feels more like people surviving in a harsh environment.
VERY IMPORTANT TIP: you can also stop the water from freezing by bone mealing the ground under/in the water so it's filled. It would probably also work using slabs
@@someone_weird-_- Isn't that how we learn anything new? 😉 By someone telling us or reading it somewhere I mean? But it's nonetheless nice of you to pass it on. Even if Gem already had this knowledge stored and somehow forgot, atleast I got it from you 😄
@@someone_weird-_- ohh noes don't cry 😅 I was just thinking.. if I ever pass this on to someone else, what do I say? "Yea I learned this online from Someone Weird!" 😂🤣😂🤣
I feel like it was just yesterday it was your 1.16 game play with 600,000(maybe more maybe less) followers and now you’re almost at 2 million? You’re doing amazing Gem!
I didn't see anyone else mentioning this but beware of snow layers. They can build up and allow mobs to walk over walls. Another amazing "chill" video lol
I like how you approach the game. You're actually having fun while playing and considering how you want to add depth to the world that matters to you. It may sound weird, but Im learning how to do that right now.
💜 I Love This Series And Beautiful Masterpiece of Building You Do And This Has Been SOOO Enjoyable And Fun Too Watch Thank You Gem💜 1 Building A Guard Tower 2 Build Experience Farm 3 Building A Beautiful Garden 4 Cave For Magical Tree Garden 5 Too Build A Dog House {~ i Hope You Use This You Don't Have To Gem I Love Giving My Favorite TH-camrs Ideas I Enjoy Your Videos And Just Feeling Like Some Ideas Could Help And I Am Having Good Day And I Was Trying Too Think Of Some To Help Or Something I Don't Know But I Love This Series SOOO MUCH~} 🎉
You can stop water from being frozen by putting a block above it at any distance. Your farmland doesn't need to be underground. Not to mention if you water log the water with a half slab or stair
You can also waterlog any water and that will prevent it from freezing, so maybe you can build a structure near the top of the cave that you can either just place water at or always has water so you can get back up easier without water freezing.
Love just how funny and creative she can be with her vids. “The cows have magically disappeared… That’s perfect 👍 casually holds the raw beef😂 also love that secret entrance will definitely use that sometime in one of my worlds
I’m not sure why but this new hardcore series has me SO excited! It is VERY cozy. I almost never settle down in snowy biomes, but they do make for very cool/fun bases
Water sources only need a torch or "sky blocker block" if the water source has "Sky Access". So you don't need a torch per say but rather a top slab in the water block (waterlogged slab or stair) or simply a block above the water source is all that's needed. So when underground you can totally ignore all of this UNLESS it has direct sky access.
The new copper bulbs perhaps? The space within the village walls needs to be lit up, so using these would make a change from lanterns or messy torches. I wonder if they can be placed on top of a copper lightning rod like some giant copper lollipop.
I think the hole in the middle of the village should be like an old coal mine with a cool elevator and everything It would look so cool in the village and explain why they had so many resources in the first visit
It's kinda crazy how massive some of the caves are in some places. I recently found one in my world that looked to be just a decent sized ravine and turns out once you go beneath it not only does it pretty much go down to bedrock but it also extends about 400 to 500 or so blocks in each direction. Might think about turning that into an underground city seeing as it's so massive. Would hate to see an area like that go to waste
I am in love with these videos,although i only found @GeminiTay a couple days ago its nice to watch her video as i find them very chill and super relaxing to watch
I love the pace in this video. Just building a protective wall and comfy beds for villagers are the best things about minecraft if you ask me. I very much am rooting for your village to survive, because you poored so much into it. After all you even have a villagers portret on the wall 🥰 I'm probably way too invested, but I like your everlasting good vibes 🤗 much love from the Netherlands!
it's so funny to say, but I love your hardcore series because they are so cozy and chill. it's not what you would expect from a hardcore series, but it's just perfection.
The pistons were not strictly necessary for the basement farm; a waterlogged trapdoor will not allow water through the side that the trapdoor itself is on, so it can be used as a cheaper water gate.
I adore the silly secret entrance, it serves no purpose but to be a cute detail in the build. Way more entertaining than just having a door there.
I hope this comment blows up!
Secret entrances just make builds more charming and fun.
No single player world is complete without them.
Hey, who hasn't built a secret base in a single player world before?
i am 13 right now and I took inspiration from het base and also had a mini tower with a secret entrance, so she's right a bout playing as a 14 year old mind
I’ve thought of the lore for this:
Gem, the protector of the cherry village has been captured during the update by pillagers. They knew that they couldn’t cage her though, so they hid her. Far away from the cherry village leaving the cherry village, without a protector. Meanwhile, Gem finds another village to protect.

If the pillagers win then her life will be lost, but if she prevails then the pillagers will give her the location of her cherry village and she’ll be able to go home. But at the end if everything goes well, she’ll have two homes.
Mini lore: the painting of villagers in her house are the manor's original owners
I love that idea! I think that really adds to the videos and reasons!
@@AmelieKambar That’s a great idea!
@@DaughterofApollo-w3j Thank you!
@@AmelieKambar Yessssssss
only gem can start a winter themed series in the middle of the summer and we're here for it
I'm grateful for it cause where I live right now today is gonna be 104 degrees and it's gonna feel like 111 😅

Well, it's only summer for half the planet at a time.
You can just build a greenhouse. Water sources won't freeze with any block (with a collision box) over them, even glass. Water sources will ONLY freeze if they are directly exposed to the sky. (For example, a chain will prevent freezing, but vines won't.)
seconding the greenhouse, i think this is just how plants are grown in cold areas sometimes
@@mabelmabel8112 Yes, they extend the growing season by trapping heat and sheltering from wind, and can be used all-year round with heating and lighting, used a lot in England to grow mostly tasteless mass-market tomatoes :/
I just wish Minecraft had a few diagonal slope blocks - slope glass pane (for greenhouse), slope tiles, slope concrete, slope wood, slope slate. Slope sandstone for pyramids would be neat too.
5:20
Tip: water logging the water with a slab/stair etc or putting a solid block above it also prevents it from freezing :)
6:46
This means for these water sources underground, they shouldn’t freeze even without the torches above them, since they do not have direct sunlight
^^^ THIS!
A water source requires sky access (no blocks above it) to freeze. Waterlogged stairs, slabs, chests cannot freeze.

11:05 The physical position of these villagers gossiping suggests that blocks within your base have been labeled as part of the village due to proximity. The 'center' of the village is between the village and your manor. Unsurprising since they'll expand to roughly any potential job block or bed within 32 blocks of another bed, job block, bell, etc, that is part of the village. That's a fairly substantial range.
(Technically, it breaks it down more by subchunks, which can just be thought of as chunks for simplicity. Any (sub)chunk with a claimed block is part of the village.

I feel like it was just yesterday it was your 1.16 game play with 600,000(maybe more maybe less) followers and now you’re almost at 2 million? You’re doing amazing Gem!
I didn't see anyone else mentioning this but beware of snow layers. They can build up and allow mobs to walk over walls. Another amazing "chill" video lol
In java snow layers from snowy weather are limited to one unless you change a gamerule. so that shouldn't be a problem
@eldonsurefoot8894 ugh i hate it in br
@eldonsurefoot8894 does ice form inder trees?
@@borttorbbq2556 nope, ice needs sky access to form, and the leaves block that, even at world creation.
@eldonsurefoot8894 that's what I thought it's just been a while since I played Java so I wasn't sure if that was just a bedrock thing
I like how you approach the game. You're actually having fun while playing and considering how you want to add depth to the world that matters to you. It may sound weird, but Im learning how to do that right now.
Loved the first episode, glad the second is here already!
I love gem and her hardcore sm

{~ i Hope You Use This You Don't Have To Gem I Love Giving My Favorite TH-camrs Ideas I Enjoy Your Videos And Just Feeling Like Some Ideas Could Help And I Am Having Good Day And I Was Trying Too Think Of Some To Help Or Something I Don't Know But I Love This Series SOOO MUCH~} 🎉
Omg I'm so early!!! Youre such an inspiration and I love you so much gem!!❤❤❤
I just watched the previous episode last night because TH-cam recommended it and i wasnt feeling good, and i wake up today and poof! New episode yay!
Loving the new snowy village! These villagers could use a big frozen lake for their ice fishing!
i love how easy going you are in your lets plays
Villagers: "We look away for 5 minutes.... and now theres a wall... hmmmmmm...."
..."Why did we never think of that?"
Yay, new episode. And it was fun all around.
I'm also playing in a winter biome, and as long as you slab the water source, it won't freeze outside! Inside, you're good to go without a torch! :D
Or cover it. Water blocks need direct sky above them to freeze.
Therefore the ones underground will never freeze.
Came here as soon as i saw the notification (27secs)😂❤...i just love her energy❤
You can stop water from being frozen by putting a block above it at any distance. Your farmland doesn't need to be underground. Not to mention if you water log the water with a half slab or stair
You can also waterlog any water and that will prevent it from freezing, so maybe you can build a structure near the top of the cave that you can either just place water at or always has water so you can get back up easier without water freezing.
Waterlogged blocks, OR any block over top to block direct sky.
Gem always has the best lets plays !!
I love the vibes this new series has, it will b perfect watching it in the future , while I'm gonna have a break on Christmas
Love just how funny and creative she can be with her vids. “The cows have magically disappeared… That’s perfect 👍 casually holds the raw beef😂 also love that secret entrance will definitely use that sometime in one of my worlds
to keep the water from freezing you can use slabs and put them in the water to make it a half block!! ❤
Absolutely loving the winter vibe, Gem's right barely anyone builds in snowy biomes
edit: 12:30 random secret entrances are a _must_ Gem dw
I’m not sure why but this new hardcore series has me SO excited! It is VERY cozy. I almost never settle down in snowy biomes, but they do make for very cool/fun bases
For any future animal/mob transport, you can now pull boats behind you with a lead
I love the idea of a fresh start on an old world. Great job.
I love the way that when gem said that the cows were gone magically she was holding raw beef in her hand😅
I just started my summer break and this is gonne be the best playthrough to watch
Water sources only need a torch or "sky blocker block" if the water source has "Sky Access". So you don't need a torch per say but rather a top slab in the water block (waterlogged slab or stair) or simply a block above the water source is all that's needed. So when underground you can totally ignore all of this UNLESS it has direct sky access.
There are so many good tips in the comment section today 😀 This is a great community to read
Snow golems on the walls as turrets would look awesome. Loving the idea of this series and the content in general
for the lore to fix the food, it needs light so maybe get glowstone as a UV light or something as all crops needs water and sunlight to thrive
The new copper bulbs perhaps? The space within the village walls needs to be lit up, so using these would make a change from lanterns or messy torches. I wonder if they can be placed on top of a copper lightning rod like some giant copper lollipop.
Watching you play Minecraft while playing Minecraft rn :) keep up the good work gem! I love your videos
i love how everything you do has a reason. a greenhouse for the crops would look nice maybe?
i love this hard core world
Yay I’m so happy another upload :3 🫶🫶
I love a cozy single player world ❤️😌
I've been watching your videos for years, and this is by far the earliest I've ever been! I'm so excited for more episodes of this series!
I think the hole in the middle of the village should be like an old coal mine with a cool elevator and everything It would look so cool in the village and explain why they had so many resources in the first visit
Gems videos are always so calming❤
It's kinda crazy how massive some of the caves are in some places. I recently found one in my world that looked to be just a decent sized ravine and turns out once you go beneath it not only does it pretty much go down to bedrock but it also extends about 400 to 500 or so blocks in each direction. Might think about turning that into an underground city seeing as it's so massive. Would hate to see an area like that go to waste
Gem gives wintery names to her dogs Olaf and Jack as in "Jack Frost"
while my brain says that Jack (Titanic) was also cold ngl...
I’m thinking of Jack Frost from the The Rise of the Guardians movie
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought that 😭
Yay! New episode! Loving the series so far!❤🎉😊
Your garden cellar reminds me of the old root cellars in outport NL, I love it!
I am in love with these videos,although i only found @GeminiTay a couple days ago its nice to watch her video as i find them very chill and super relaxing to watch
this is my favorite part of my day. watching this.
I love the pace in this video. Just building a protective wall and comfy beds for villagers are the best things about minecraft if you ask me. I very much am rooting for your village to survive, because you poored so much into it. After all you even have a villagers portret on the wall 🥰 I'm probably way too invested, but I like your everlasting good vibes 🤗 much love from the Netherlands!
it's so funny to say, but I love your hardcore series because they are so cozy and chill. it's not what you would expect from a hardcore series, but it's just perfection.
The pistons were not strictly necessary for the basement farm; a waterlogged trapdoor will not allow water through the side that the trapdoor itself is on, so it can be used as a cheaper water gate.
yeah but the pistons look cooler
been watching gem since the first hardcore let's play(3 years ago)
I couldn't watch this when it came out! But holiday event is over so now I get to watch Gemini Tay be cozy in a hardcore world!🎉
