Simultaneously, Doc cobbles together his skyblock solitary while xB sculpts his sandcastle seclusion, both grumbling for not so different reasons. Keralis is on vacation everywhere, at all times, for as far as I can tell, no reason.
Doc up there huffing and puffing trying to survive.. meanwhile on ground level: Keralis slurping from a pina colada that Xb is balancing on his head 😂😂😂
Favourite line in the video, "here's a little bit of me and Keralis" sounds like the start of a song. Here's a little bit of me and Keralis No longer am I locked up in my prismarine palace Hanging out with my friends Ren-diggy-dog Heeey, whats up Doc?
XB I would watch you and Keralis hang out for hours. The vibe the two of you have together is so chill and it’s so clear how much you care about each other and enjoy just being in each other’s company. You going with the bit while Keralis drank his tequila sunrise? Incredible. Also seeing the walls in the three wide block has given me some inspiration - I love using walls and slabs to make builds a little more delicate but always end up with things out of line or not quite working. I’m using aged copper and cyan wool and concrete because I’m not brave enough to tackle an ocean monument for prismarine but the dye is easy enough to get, but the cyan/black colour palate is awesome.
So adding orange to the skin you say? The cuffs of your jacket could be a way to add the pop of color. Feels like you just changed jackets or something for the season. It would change first person, but could be cool. I love the videos! Thanks for all the great content. I've enjoyed watching you through the years. Can't wait to see how this base turns out. ☺️
Not biome specific, but you can change the cold-climate gradient for grass to something that pops better. But I still think that's not quite what you want either.
I think there is a way to change the grass color on the individual biomes. Vanilla Tweaks has a texture pack called ''golden savanna'' that makes the grass more golden, but only in the savanna, so you might be able to edit that or use that principal to make a pack spefifically for making ocean grass greener.
You can't change biome specific grass, but you can use moss, carpeting, glow lichen, skulk veins, green concrete sand, waterlogged leaves, non-waterlogged leaves, hydrated coral, aged copper blocks, warped nylium, etc. to create some variety and hue shifts in the grass. Side note: I think some hydrated coral sculptures would look amazing in your base!
Those dots toward the interior that seem to be bothering you, and are mirrored on the other side, could just be gone🤔. With the trellis-like structure right next to those areas, removing those bumps makes sense, leaving space for any detail to that entrance feature that you might choose. ❤
I’d make those dots match the outside and have one against the structure missing, then I’d add something in place of it to even it out there. That way you don’t have to expand in any direction, you just even them out to the wall/opening part and add some decor around it to blend it in.
When I wanted to make an area in my base have variation in the grass, I added in green wool and the azalea bushes (both flowering and not). It gave a slight variation in pattern and color.
Just leave the dots. You can think of the 3 dots squeezed together as highlighting the inside corners. Add the black, ignore the little highlight. If anything just change those 3 dots by erecting a small statue or other feature in those corners.
re: adding orange to the skin; orange parts on the shoulders or elbows of the jacket could be cool, or even something as simple as a shirt pocket or some buttons! a tie could also work if you wanna be silly with it!
I’m curious to see where the honey saga goes. Wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up in court given Keralis notably does not have the honey permit (Joel does). The technicality of honey bottles vs honey blocks would be interesting.
I'm seeing opaque walls that fade to glass as they approach glass tubes emerging from the walls and meander around the outter oceans to pods or towers or back into the walls.
I mean, you *can* change biome specific grass... but it won't help in this particular case. You can modify the foliage color map, which affects the coloration of the grass in specific types of biomes, but the coloration in the biome in general (including when placed in the ocean) is the same as the Plains Biome, so every biome that uses that specific color would be modified. If changing it based on a build in the birch forest, however, only the birch forest would have that unique coloration, which makes it one spot where custom grass is rarer, compared to Plains coloration being in most biomes; Nether, Savanahs, Desert, and Badlands usually being so huge (when grass is even in them); and Dark Forest and Jungle requiring a lot more clearing stuff away. I really wish there were more coloration options per biome, but short of retexturing a different block, most biome grass is the same as Plains grass coloration.
Maybe light blue glass panes for the uneven dots on the front. I remember using it to “fix” a castle wall I didn’t want to redesign. They look like one wide but take up 2 blocks
Xb I love it when you and papa k hang out it’s the best content on the server especially when you play games and papa k says it’s because he is leaft handed
I think if all the "cobbled" prismarine (I don't know what that blocks name is) could be replaced with deepslate tiles like you did with the wals it would look really good
Regarding the blocks out of place on the monument: Why not just get rid of the blocks in the corner/s? You could put something else there instead if you want.
There is a way to change grass colours specifically. It isn't biome dependant though its temperature dependant which is kinda biome dependant. You could modify the gradient of all less vibrant grass to be more vibrant. It is a simple texturepack change no datapacks or mods needed.
I doubt you will see this, but I would replace the knobby bits with solid beams of some sort - a contrasting color. It would break up the green and eliminate the even numbers.
So the new walls you added, what about adding orange to them as well. Maybe not every wall but every other wall or something. Kinda like how you did on the inside.
All the things in the chest sell it to the permit holders. For example sell the stone to etho for a bit under his selling price 🙏🏼 Joe did the same, when we carved a whole mountain away 😂 Your earn money they save mining time 💪🏼win 🥇
Steak is in a Higher Tier than bacon. Tastes equally as good, but you can eat significantly more for the same amount of calories. Plus bacon is generally cooked with other unhealthy foods to make it even worse whereas the same isn't necessarily true for steak. So many different types of steak whereas I feel like all bacon is basically the same. I will die on this hill with a porterhouse in my mouth and cholesterol in my heart.
Im confused.....if you take jungle grass block and place it in the swamp....u get swamp grass block..it doesnt stay that biome it came from...so how did u get ur grass brighter.........i was going to suggest u mix the grass with moss and bone meal the gass and have it grow in a few places and use shears and place some more grass on the moss....kinda blend it
Doc’s suffering unironically makes me wish the hermits had a skyblock season.
Ren: (On fire)
Ren: “It’s hot out here today. Sheesh, this weather…”
One of my favorite lines.

No longer am I locked up in my prismarine palace
Hanging out with my friends Ren-diggy-dog
Heeey, whats up Doc?
"Me and Keralis"
These are the moments I live for!
Thank you
why not blue nylium instead of the grass? It might better match the color scheme youre gunning for
He could also incorporate moss and wool into the grass
Copper grate block is also a great option.
I hate the crunch sound of nether rack when you walk on it lol....but the aesthetic would be on point....
love this idea!
Sculk blocks also go really well and can be used for paths.

The doc bit is some of the best hermit craft i have seen in a while, i love our grumpy German dancing bear!
The teasing Doc was so funny! Delightful schadenfreude 🤣

“Generally guilty” is incredibly funny. I believe it tbh:)
PS this is such a fun episode!
Keralis' new horn of the month is just his slurping sounds... Lol.
"A wise man once said..." Love you're videos xB they always make me happy 😊
8:02 2 days late but the funny thing is Ren actually just cuts to his timelapse after that! Haha
"whinecraft" killed me, everyone's interactions are full of joy!
Always love when you and keralis hang out together! It’s just such a fun time☺️
What a fun episode, love the interaction with Pappa K and Doc. The base is looking amazing. ❤
A skyblock edition of Hermitcraft sounds like a fun idea... for us to watch.
Or a skyblock edition of the life series
Always love the hang sessions with Keralis! He's great. Someone should take that man to court and sue him for being so dang charming.

What is that moaning sound when the sun goes down? Oh, its just Doc... complaining... for two weeks straight. Poor Doc

Thanks for the bacon/pig existential crisis XB. I might not sleep this week.

6:30 8:51 this entire conversation is pure gold
30:05 the slurping sound effects 😭 you and keralis are too funny
29:55 XB bringing drinks to the bois with style 😂
When I wanted to make an area in my base have variation in the grass, I added in green wool and the azalea bushes (both flowering and not). It gave a slight variation in pattern and color.
I quite liked the natural grass colour. Subtle. Thanks for the episode, XB!
The slurping piña colada off xb's head made me crack up laughing
Just leave the dots. You can think of the 3 dots squeezed together as highlighting the inside corners. Add the black, ignore the little highlight. If anything just change those 3 dots by erecting a small statue or other feature in those corners.
lol. someone needs to clip keralis "taking a sip" for a cub horn!
re: adding orange to the skin; orange parts on the shoulders or elbows of the jacket could be cool, or even something as simple as a shirt pocket or some buttons! a tie could also work if you wanna be silly with it!
You could put orange on the trim of the sleeves instead of cyan but keep it on the base. Or you could add orange patches on the shoulders
The front bothers me also. Maybe do a grand entrance that would incorporate that space? Thanks for doing what you're doing. Made my day better =)

I’m pretty sure the ocean biome is slightly less saturated than plains
If i keep seeing your gaurdian farm, I'll have to build one. And thats a bigger project than i think i have the skill for!
XB and Keralis.. the best duo honestly, love these fellas!
Love the black addition it really makes it pop
@3:25 You may be able to fake a second type of grass with moss blocks.
More like: What’s Up? Doc!
Maybe light blue glass panes for the uneven dots on the front. I remember using it to “fix” a castle wall I didn’t want to redesign. They look like one wide but take up 2 blocks
Xb I love it when you and papa k hang out it’s the best content on the server especially when you play games and papa k says it’s because he is leaft handed
just love the 3 of you together. Great laughs
maybe you can use warped nylium to break up the grass? its got the bright greens in it and the teal wouldnt be too out of palette
I always love it when you and Keralis hang out
A grandstand for all the hermits sit and watch doc would be the funniest thing ever seen. It would drive him mad 😂
I think if all the "cobbled" prismarine (I don't know what that blocks name is) could be replaced with deepslate tiles like you did with the wals it would look really good
@xisuma 2:08 Make an Aztec temp stairway going outward into the ocean all the way around lol
xB when you we're talking about steak and bacon all I could think about is me wanting filet mignon
Regarding the blocks out of place on the monument: Why not just get rid of the blocks in the corner/s? You could put something else there instead if you want.
shenanigans with keralis were hilarious

Your new tcg cards look amazing xB!
I knew the uneven placement of those blocks would eventually get to you. lol
Maybe take those odd side dots out and add another arch similar to one in center there just a bit higher and connect where those dots are
I doubt you will see this, but I would replace the knobby bits with solid beams of some sort - a contrasting color. It would break up the green and eliminate the even numbers.
did you noticed that the same unniligned barf block thing repeats on the sides' back portion of the monument too?
"tip your head i wanna drink" ... "slurping noises"............. OMG! that needs to be a horn. HAHAHAaaa!
Ooh, you’re so right about adding black as an accent pillar
20:35
Doc, don't google that.
OMG!! XB A wise man once said…..I spit out my coffee laughing so hard.😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome title! Awesome movie. Awesome episode. :)
Suggestion: removing those little dots on top of the monument? And then probably add the splash of black up there somehow??..
I'm not sure about Java, but in Bedrock you can hide torches under path blocks to light up your builds without torch spam
At 33:33, black flat with orange dots instead of the darker teal with teal dots?
XB you really shouldn’t look at the last two dots on the left hand side of the monument at 34:13 if the single spacing bothers you.
Jokes aside, I would be VERY entertained by a Hermitcraft skyblock series
Mojang needs to make it where you can use wax to wax a certain biome grass color so you can silk touch that color and make custom grass or lawns
I love this "grumpy" German, 😂😂 may I'm self one! 😂😂
I think the 1x3 little holes in the walls of the temple would be better with dark prismarine instead of instead of deepslate
Doc as a dancing bear 🐻 🤣🤣💞
poor Doc having the tribulations of Job...
They should build sky Islands around with resources that he have to work to get to 😂
So the new walls you added, what about adding orange to them as well. Maybe not every wall but every other wall or something. Kinda like how you did on the inside.
⛏🐮 Bacon wrapped Steak sounds amazing right now.
Probably need netherite beacons to really get the dark colors on top of the monument. 😂
I could listen to doc whine for hours 😂
Thanks bro always enjoy your videos
you guys were forgetting how good barbecue is.
Where is the spot? I remember watching the video where he found it, but I honestly can't even see it from that distance at the end.
2:27 Do you think the texture pack you are using changes the texture of moss too much?
All the things in the chest sell it to the permit holders.
For example sell the stone to etho for a bit under his selling price 🙏🏼 Joe did the same, when we carved a whole mountain away 😂
Your earn money they save mining time 💪🏼win 🥇
Awwww give the Doc a bone!
The xb and keralis bro mance is the best 😂
0:40 Is that a mob spawner in the wall?!

I think orange stripes would look great on your shirt
How about using some of the 2 copper types somewhere perhsps the walls
Im confused.....if you take jungle grass block and place it in the swamp....u get swamp grass block..it doesnt stay that biome it came from...so how did u get ur grass brighter.........i was going to suggest u mix the grass with moss and bone meal the gass and have it grow in a few places and use shears and place some more grass on the moss....kinda blend it
Pretty fun episode
Missed you xb glad you are back❤
The great and only xB.
What's he talking about seeing on the monument in the end?
Everything is better with bacon!
