History YMMV / HermitcraftServer

* AccidentalInnuendo:
** While caving during Season 7, Mumbo Jumbo ran into a large slime and a creeper, and managed to slay the former. However, the creeper blew up his slime balls, and he promptly remarks:
--->'''Mumbo Jumbo:''' The creeper blew up my balls!
** Another incident from Season 8 where upon respawning, [=GoodTimesWithScar=] is hit with an absurd amount of XP orbs via a prank from Grian. In his slight stupor, he says:
--->'''[=GoodTimesWithScar=]:''' Yo, there's so many balls. I have so many balls in my face, that is crazy!
** Yet another Scar moment while looking at his giant beacon mine saying this, which could be much worse when put out of context;
--->'''[=GoodTimesWithScar=]:''' I'm quite the stripper, aren't I?
** From Season 9, when Ren's venting about the party held in his vault:
--->'''[=Rendog=]:''' Not only was my private area violated, everybody, they were also giving out our diamonds at the party, apparently.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [=GoodTimesWithScar=] during the Mycelium War storyline in season 7. Is he a corrupt but slightly well-meaning mayor who's genuinely trying to rid the Shopping District of a disease, or is he a ''very'' corrupt tyrant trying to insinuate the idea that Mycelium is evil, creating propaganda and writing false history to further his message and, therefore, his control on the Shopping District?
** The Mycelium resistance who opposes Scar and HEP [[note]] Hermit Environment Protection [[/note]] likewise can be seen as fighting to protect the environment in less than ideal ways or bio terrorists who are purposely spreading disease.
* AntiClimax:
** At the end of the Area 77 arc, Doc and Scar reveal Area 77 to just be an amusement park after weeks of conspiracy.
** In the game of Demise, Cubfan sets up a TNT trap in the End, which he is looking forward to killing a still-living Hermit with. He even makes a deal with Doc to have the latter lure an alive Hermit there. Meanwhile, Grian mentions how he'll eventually need to travel to the End to gather more dragon heads [[ItMakesSenseInContext so he can add more members to the Dragon Bros]], setting up Grian's potential demise even without Doc's shady deals. So what happens? [[spoiler: Jevin, who had already Demised several episodes prior, wanders into the End and triggers the trap, meaning the trap is effectively disabled unless Cub possibly sets it up again and ensuring that neither Grian nor anyone Doc sends will die to it. This happens off-camera, no less. Even when it does catch two alive Hermits, Iskall and Mumbo Iskall logs out, and Mumbo survives with at totem]]. A similar case happens when [=TinFoilChef=] is trapped with 30+ zombies in his own base... [[spoiler:and he deals with them, initially unaware that it was even meant to be related to demise, again, off-camera]].
** PlayedForLaughs in the final episodes of Season 6. [[spoiler:Iskall, the winner of Demise, has challenged the Hermits to kill him anyways, selling the opportunity to kill him to the highest bidder (Impulse, who is bribed by Grian to let him help). The two build a trap that starts with various scenes of Grian and Impulse (dressed as Iskall) depicting an EscalatingWar between the two over Grian's love of building with diorite, but eventually turns into a minecart-based death trap that fires arrows at Iskall, poisons him, nearly blows him up, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking dispenses diorite onto his person]]. As he appears to approach a cactus at half a heart, he is shot up through a stream of water to where Grian & Impulse wait. Iskall celebrates his survival, only for Grian to promptly punch him with a diorite block named ''His Hatred of Diorite'', killing him instantly.]]
* AntiClimaxBoss: In Season 7 (mostly limited to Rendog's POV), [[spoiler:The Renperor has been a presence throughout the season, always lurking in the back of Rendog's mind. During the events of Stargazer, after Ren was crippled by Darth Ren in a fight, Renbob casually lands on Darth Ren, causing an explosion. The Renperor fizzles out right after that for whatever reason.]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** Honestly, every grand project that is finished by a Hermit could be considered a moment of awesome, whether it's a base, a shop, or a minigame.
*** Special mention goes to [=TangoTek's=] Decked Out, an in-depth dungeon crawler built as well as his own version of ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' ''entirely in Survival''.
** What takes the cake, though is in Season 8, the entire Boatem Crew, consisting of Grian, [=MumboJumbo=], [=GoodTimesWithScar=], Impulse, and Pearl all agreeing to band together to make a enormous base!
** The finale of Season 8 is [[spoiler:a gorgeous animation of [[ApocalypseWow the Big Moon crashing into the world and destroying absolutely everything]]. Every single Hermit includes it in their finale videos and it is a sight to behold.]]
** In Season 9, the EscalatingWar between Team GOAT (Doc and Ren) and Team Buttercup (Mumbo, Grian and Scar) eventually leads to Buttercups ''completely covering Doc's perimeter in terrain'', terraforming at trees included. They placed over ''250,000 blocks''. Doc's first reaction is utter disbelief.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Hermits has through the years created a few songs.
** [=MumboJumbo=], you are [=AFK=]...
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2cIf3UaTNA Hermitgang]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngL5KnmaWqg H.I.B - Hermits in Black]]
* CrossoverShip: Etho has been jokingly shipped with Quackity from the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' as a result of [[https://www.tumblr.com/mcytblrsexymen the MCYTblr Sexyman bracket]]. During Round 4 of the bracket, the 'Ethogirls' proposed an alliance with 'Quackblr' so that they vote for each other's beloved creator-characters in the polls; [[https://www.tumblr.com/minecraftrelatedrandomness/709023089671995392?source=share somewhere along the way]], it snowballed into jokes that the two communities were in gay love with each other, and cue the CrackShip.
* EnsembleDarkHorse:
** Grian is one of the most popular Hermits on the current server, to the point where [[https://youtu.be/iBwDup8Frkk?t=987 the Recap Crew remark that he wins any fan polls that he's a part of, and even the ones where he's not]]. The rest of the members of the Architechs crew he created, [=MumboJumbo=] and Iskall, both also easily qualify for this title, both already being rather popular among fans but getting a ton of spotlight due to their work with Grian and one another.
** [=TangoTek=]'s building skills are often forgotten when compared to Grian and [=GoodTimesWithScar=], but he made one of the most complex minigames on the server with ''Decked Out'', a [[NinjaZombiePirateRobot dungeon crawler/treasure hunt/trading card game]].
** [=TinfoilChef=] was often considered ''the'' underdog of the server. Despite generally going overlooked due to his limited-contact playstyle, this very choice often worked out in his favor. He's perhaps the richest Hermit by proxy of rarely ever spending his diamonds he mines, to the point where many people joke that the only thing preventing a full-on economy crash in Season 6 is TFC's frugal playstyle. Due to these factors, He was even expected to win the game of Demise, [[spoiler:managing to completely nullify a trap consisting of a hoard of over 30 zombies sent to his base [[AchievementsInIgnorance without even knowing it was meant to be a Demise trap]], and only lost due to a trap in his own base that he decided to trigger willingly for the sake of humoring it, and his immediate reaction was to laugh about it]]. Not bad for the Hermit who [[TheHermit had the most hermit-like playstyle]]!
** For Hermit-made characters, Helsknight, a villain created by Welsknight as a character that exemplifies his own negative traits. He has only appeared in a single episode in Season 7, but he still has his fan following. It certainly helps that he got involved in a rap battle with Wels in his introductory episode. [[spoiler:He next appears at the end of Wels's first episode of Season 8 and fully intends to cause chaos and destruction in the server.]]
* FanNickname: Grian is frequently referred to as the "Pesky Bird" on the Tumblr side of the fandom, due to his mischievous personality and being drawn as a WingedHumanoid with bird wings (often scarlet macaw wings) in many fan designs. It most likely originated with Grian the content creator referring to parrots as such in Season 7. [[spoiler:This becomes an AscendedFanNickname in the Season 9 crossover with ''Empires'', as [=MythicalSausage=] notes Grian's "powers" down as this as he heard about it from somewhere.]]
* FandomVIP: The people running the Hermitcraft Recap -- narrator Pixlriffs and writer [=ZloyXP=]. The Recap is a resource used by both the fanbase and occasionally the Hermits themselves to keep up with the happenings of the server, since there are too many Hermits and too many different points of view for any one person to reasonably be able to keep up with. Both Pixl and Zloy's channels have come to rival some of the Hermits in terms of size, and Pixl has gotten the chance to collaborate with some of the Hermits and other big [=YouTubers=] on the ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP''.
* GrowingTheBeard: As the number of main page examples on [[Website/TVTropes This Very Wiki]] might indicate, Season 6 is where the series rose in popularity. It probably has to do with the debut of Grian, who added his already sizable fanbase to the Hermitcraft fanbase as a whole.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6WsIZCwFVE The Hermitville Build-off wasn't the first time Grian participated in a Minecraft house-building war that ended with a stalemate;]] the first time is in a WebVideo/{{CraftedMovie}} short. His house was even the same type as the one in Home Improvement Battle, both of them being wooden fantasy-style rustic houses with twisting layouts that clump together rooms of different sizes.
** Another serendipitous [=CraftedMovie=] reference: the end of Season 8 is caused by the moon colliding with the server. [=CraftedMovie=]'s final short, from June 2015, ends with the moon getting grabbed and pulled into collision with the set.
* MemeticMutation:
** Different pronouncing of Xisuma and his nicknames.
** Xisuma wearing [[Film/Scream1996 a Scream mask]].
** Señor Bumbo Cactoni. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Señor Bumbo Cactoni is a cactus sculpture with a sombrero, beady eyes, and a mustache. The build was created by Iskall in the likeness of fellow Hermit [=MumboJumbo=] during Season 5. Currently has pages on Urban Dictionary and Know Your Meme, and once made the front page of Reddit.[[/labelnote]]
** Mumbo Jumbo, you are AFK! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grian sang [[https://youtu.be/-_ZLXKB8Njg?t=1050 this song]], which features him singing about removing Mumbo's mustache.[[/labelnote]]
** Hermitgang. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2cIf3UaTNA this song]] which is made by STAR-team during Season 6 civil war. It has since been used in other situations such as during the ''WebOriginal/MinecraftChampionship'' when cheering on the Hermits. This includes Grian, who was mocked in the song.[[/labelnote]]
** "Shop at Sahara" and related Architechs ad campaigns, both referred to in-series and by fans.
** The Dragon Bros from Demise.
** Gem is Great.
** Moon's big. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A variation of the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/moons-haunted Moon's Haunted]] meme, rising to popularity after the moon suddenly started growing during Season 8.[[/labelnote]]
** Hermitcraft exile arc? [[labelnote:Explanation]]After fans discovered that Grian was wearing a few very tired and disheveled versions of his own skin, the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' fans among them immediately started drawing comparisons to the Exile arc, where Tommy looked similarly exhausted and ragged.[[/labelnote]]
** "Come watch ''Hermitcraft''," they said. "It's a lighthearted building SMP with no big lore," they said. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hermitcraft has something of a reputation for being a LighterAndSofter alternative to other popular [=SMPs=] (mostly the famously dark and lore-heavy ''WebVideo/DreamSMP''). As a result, the events of season 8 (involving the moon [[ApocalypseHow crashing into and completely obliterating the world]]) have shocked many people who are used to it being lighthearted, leading to them responding with variations of this phrase. Season 8 is also when Hermitcraft got a full lore-based WebVideo/GameTheory episode.[[/labelnote]]
** "Gem, behind you!"
** You are not immune to the [=GoodTimes=]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]An [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYDTT5sXoAAJGVJ.jpg image]] of the face of [=GoodTimesWithScar=]'s Minecraft skin on a light blue background, often used to promote Scar's content among the extended MCYT fandom.[[/labelnote]]
*** [X] is not immune to the [=GoodTimes=]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Variant text form used whenever another content creator [X] makes a reference to Scar and/or his content.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WalkingShirtlessScene Scitties]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This term refers to some of [=GoodTimesWithScar=]'s skins, which sometimes has his pecs exposed. Because of this, the MCYT fandom would often either be jokingly exasperated by or [[EstrogenBrigade fawn]] [[TestosteroneBrigade over]] his characters' in-game skin.[[/labelnote]]
* TearJerker: [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiO38uHZ5wFF26KTHoDaIYEXwKgPj_O0a Some of the Hermits' tributes to TinfoilChef]] after his passing.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The opinion of some fans with regard to the end of the crossover with WebVideo/EmpiresSMP. While the Hermits had a month on the Empires server, were involved in many storylines and built the impressive Hermitopia tower, the Empires members who came to Hermitcraft barely had two weeks and didn't build much beyond a (admittedly very pretty) Christmas-themed area near to spawn before having to return to their server.
