Playing Minecraft's WEIRDEST Update...

The fact that as soon as people realized the potential of players colliding with each other they immediately make the infamous player stack shows that people just like making big stacks of things.

They should definitely make a life series focused around on this update, reset the votes every session

I love these silly one off videos that just consist of Grian having fun with friends and trying out various Minecraft mechanics! I really hope we get more videos like this in the future

I think grian getting the advancement jingle while looking at the minecraft earth at 13:53 was actually kinda beautiful

"Think of the detail you could have with this much cheese" is a sentence i thought i'd never hear, especially not from grian

fun fact, applying dream mode in this update makes the world seem magical with glowing and mist, but more importantly, it increases ender pearl rates from piglin bartering by 20%. lol
thx for 1.8k likes btw

Timmy being the last one to the moon and arriving just when everyone left is peak comedic timing

When playing it, I voted for the big moon, and the part about consequences made me think of hermitcraft season 8, so I love how Grian also pointed this out!

To provide some context, that first proposal is a reference to the skill system in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. In that game, you get better at certain things just by doing them a lot, and that includes running and jumping.

the vote update is practically a compilation of features that the community has been begging for for YEARS (vertical slabs - cheese, place block & pickaxe block, colored lighting, etc.)

Im so glad more and more hermits are experimenting w one-off vids, and collabs to boot! Jimmy's always done really well w these and i get that each channel has their own content but sometimes i just wanna watch these endgame players rediscover minecraft all over again without having to restart a server or start a new series entirely, ykno?

Grian actually calling Jimmy Jimmy for once gives me whiplash cuz Grian and Martyn are just so committed to the bit that they rarely call him Jimmy

Grian's "Guys is the moon big?!" reference was such a welcome surprise

I’d love more of these types of videos! Just silly hanging with friends in a world with like a mod/April fools update

13:53 the reveal of Mincraft's earth along with the achievement sfx was goose-bump inducing.

mojang made an entire dimension out of a block that can be shaped in any way you'd want, meaning there are no performance issues with this tech. i'm going to be really mad if we don't get this as a replacement for stairs and slabs of all kind. this would also help with the inventory problem, as we don't need to carry all the variants of blocks anymore.

Lizzie: "The moon stopped!"
Joel: "Yeah. That's cause it's the sun."

9:02 “Stop riding me guys and milk me “-Joel 2023

Everyone: "We can milk things!"
Grian: "wHeReS jOeL?"

Mojang puts way more effort into April Fools gags than their actual updates. Now we know why updates are so lackluster: they're constantly working on this.

Now imagine them doing another hardcore series like this.

15:05
I love how all of their dad laughs sync up

The sheer chaos of the “update” fits grians chaotic nature quite well I must say

I love how they're so enthralled by entities and players colliding with each other while PE has had that as a toggleable feature for years.

Now I just want to see grian make a massive full size moon base…

In Morrowind you could get the boots of blinding speed, which raised your speed by 200 (for reference 100 was the max normal) but made you blind. You could work around this by resisting the blindness and end up with very fast landspeed.

i would love to see a normal survival server with this crew

As a note, the Morrowind thing was a reference to The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, where you could make your run and jump stats unbelievably high and move too fast. Very good game, I highly recommend.

This would actually be a really cool update if they actually implemented it but you have the option to turn it on or off in settings so you can have all the fun

moon cows, cheese blocks, and the moon. All would seem like fun additions to the base game. If only one, make it cheese blocks. Hidden entrances in endstone structures. Details for builders, including the infamous vertical half slab. All it needs is some unique redstone interactions.

Man, seeing a post from Grian always brings a smile to my face. Really brightens up my day. Keep up the awesome content :)

They really should keep this update as an optional thing for people to play around with.

I honestly think this should be given as a outright innate datapack option available by default, this is hysterical

I've seen Skizzle's episode already and just want to say; These 7 People should make this a permanent SMP with every 2 weeks or so a new person joining

The Morrowind vote was hilarious. Anyone who EVER played that game knows how how calamitously fun it was to juice your speed and acrobatics into the thousands.

I'd love to see an SMP where they actually play the game seriously, on this snapshot.

Grian and the gang getting up to April shenanigans again, makes my day!

I wish they had blocks like cheese officially like maybe a sculpture block or maybe a sculpting station that you could mold any block your self for more detail.

It's great to see Skizz be featured! He deserves the world!

i love when all the Hermits/Life players are together doing stuff just having fun i can watch this forever. there doesnt have to be like aplanned bit or anything simple friends being together heaving a good time is enough to make it entertaining. i feel like we need more of this in hermitcraft i mean the epic builds are cool but the real reason we watch is to see you guys together on the server becuase thats the whole point of being on a server together. we watch YOU becuase we like who YOU are we dont need a special bit just being YOU is enough

This needs to become an official mode of Minecraft. This is such a good April Fools update.

Grian quoting the "I love you, say it back" meme from Timmy and Scott's interaction is hilarious.

This update is so awesome! I've said this on Skizz's, Joel's, Jimmy's, and Impulse's videos already, but I would love for this to be an actual series!

This is the exact level of chaos I’d expect from this group. I love it.

This update had better be the developers testing stuff so they can actually add it, because I'm going to be beyond pissed if they can make things like this and choose not to for official updates.

I’ve been enjoying these side videos so much compared to the hermitcraft series. It’s nice to have fresh air!

10:32 vertical slabs combined with horizintal slabs, stairs, upside down stairs, and corner stairs makes the game "basically be 1/8th block at a time instead of one block at a time" according to Mojang, which is one of the things that make Minecraft, Minecraft.

I cant tell whether the big moon vote is a reference to Season 8 or it was just some random idea Mojang came up with

As someone who played Morrowind growing up, the beginning was an immediate rush of nostalgia and joy

Man, haven’t watched Grian in a while. Been like three years since I’ve really watched him. Glad he’s doing well.

I really want to see a limited life with some of these changes implemented 🤣 specifically colliding entities and the bobble heads!

Loved this, Grian! Great stuff, as always!

Just in case you have yet to get a good answer, Grian: Morrowind is The Elder Scrolls III, and it was infamous (and loved) for having incredibly abusable mechanics and scaling. For example, the effect and duration of potions scaled with Intelligence, so you could make an INT potion, drink it, make the same potion again for a better result, and repeat until you had a potion giving you gamebreaking INT for an effectively infinite duration.
Similar exploits could be used to affect your ability to run and jump, and Morrowind had a pretty big map, so... Well, who DOESN'T like jumping halfway across the map, or running so fast that you can't actually tell where you're going?

Some of these features could honestly be really cool in a genuine update.

I would definetly love seeing this turn into a sub-series. Maybe A 5th Life Season using this update....🤔

This is so fun. Next season of the life series should have a randomizer with these things popping up all the time

I love Grain referencing (I think) Scott and Jimmy like “you have 30 seconds” “Alright, Love you” … “say it back”

If I had a nickel for every time grian was on a server where the moon grew, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice…

10:45 biggest hope that this entire update wasnt a joke and will actually improve the game

Genuinely I think you gotta do a video building with the cheese, show what you can do with it. We gotta demand mojang add something like this because I cannot BELIEVE they'd tease us like this after all the "not possible" malarkey

I never, in a million years, thought I’d hear Grain mention “Morrowind.”

I would love to see all of you guys make a survival smp (with mumbo aswell) it would be endlessly funny.

i love how they not only made this work but made it fun 🤩

this is the funniest update 😭

* I feel like this is the content Grian would regularly make if he wasn't restricted by societal norms

We need a part 2. There is so much to this update y’all haven’t even seen yet.
Or how about “Elected Life”! Just the standard 3rd life rules, but on this snapshot of the game.

I had so much fun with this update. Love ya Grian, keep up the amazing work.

I miss player collision to be honest. And just more entity collision in general. I think it all got removed when they stopped developing a singleplayer-specific version of Minecraft and made it all based on the multiplayer one.

I love how Grian went up to Gem to tell her about the other squids being mean to him

Okay well the turning into animals thing is actually awesome and they really should put potions or spells or some kind of thing that lets you do that in the actual game.

At first I was like "How did they get away with using the Morrowind name?", then I remembered that they're both owned by Microsoft.

This update was so so fun and it was really funny to watch Grian and friends play it 😂

This update is so cool! I hope you make this a series

Ahh, It's season 8 all over again! This is great, I'm glad you guys decided to play this April Fools update❤I'm sure many other fans will make out of context vids of this😅

There needs to be some sort of mod or data pack that allows you to pick and choose which of these features stays in your world

2:07 I like it how everyone has two focuses: get everyone to stack into a really tall tower and ignore Timmy.

there's so much available content in this update i really hope people keep making videos on it

Tragic that they didn't find out about any of the other things in the update, they also didn't find the VERY unique structure that spawns on the moon.

Saw Joel's POV of this - excited to see what transpires now!

This was fun start to finish! I really enjoyed this group of people :D its fun to watch you guys joke and fiddle about!

I love the chaotic character of this video. No script no nothing. ❤ stay awesome grian

It's so painful to watch Grian not understand that it's not voting or not voting, but that it is between options. xD

"Think of the detail you can have with this much cheese." - Grian 2023
Idk why but I love this sentence

This looked superfun! Really liked the space cows and the bubble heads.

Imagine a completely new series that would take place in the April fools update every once a week.

Today I've seen soo much potential of all this features!? Imagine if this can be an actual feature in the game itself, I'm more surprised about the entity collusion that you can ride in any mob imagine if this can be toggled in the future and cheese block, the cheese block have soo much potential that this could actually changed the entire building mechanic in the next level.

FYI, the "Life is a dream" proposal actually has a large number of effects, including increasing the player's luck, and increasing the odds of blazes dropping rods and piglins trading pearls :)
:) i'm sure we all understand the reference now

So nice to see half of the Limited Life (ep6) gang getting together to play some foolish updates.

Brilliant chaos! I love this year's snapshot, the Moon Big part has even more extreme versions where it's so big it lifts you up after a certain time of night, that was how I got to the moon! There are so many different ways... I hope they add the moon dimension for real one day!

love how Gen said, "murder me" and both Grian and Joel did not hesitate.

It would be cool to have a SMP based off of the update ngl

Grian I would love to see a series of this with the randomness of the April fools update as it’s so funny to watch lol

I would love for this to be an actual series!

Does anyone remember the update for Java sometime back in 2015 or 2016 where they changed the names of items, titles and other things? I believe they changed it back to the original sometime after. But one that I do remember was when you died, it would say “you kicked the bucket” instead of “you died”

I never thought we'd see that Earth perspective in "vanilla" Minecraft. Anyone remembers the space mod?

I love how everyone starts pillaring up as soon as they realise that they can stack

The intro where everyone just starts flying everywhere was too funny! Also PLEASE do a whole series in this update!

Grian trying to get them to say I love you back before they left is wholesome 😂❤

such a nice and wholesome community

God I wish they experienced some other features this update has but this was fun as hell to watch
