    I just remembered, The Man from Earth fits your criteria fairly well too. I wouldn't read too much about this one, just go in blind. IMDB: "An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine."

IMDB: "An unscrupulous dealer of rare books finds himself at the heart of a string of paranormal events when he is hired to find the last two copies of a text capable of summoning the devil."

    This comment made me curious about what the time would be for the world record speedrun. Seems to be 1h 35m 28s, so you've got a bit more training to do!

    Hey tea, do you recall what you had the simulation distance set to on the server? I want to see how much of my planned base will have redstone loaded.

    Find a really big scenic mountain and build a giant slide all the way down. Maybe have a few rest areas along the way stocked with books and beverages.

    Agreed, although I still don't understand why it doesn't work on glass panes.

    We used Bluemap this past season, I forget what the mapping mod was called the first time around, but Bluemap ended up being far superior.

    Oh dang, I thought you were gonna build a nether city to mirror mine, that would've been cool. Maybe I'll think of a good way to incorporate the nether into my build. I could have the city's reactor core pulling energy from the nether. The only problem with that is I'd have to put a nether portal inside the reactor, and that won't be an ideal place to be traveling in and out of constantly. I'll have to ponder this further.

    I'm interested in this, but searching hypixel build battle on YouTube didn't lead me to any videos with examples of this as far as I could tell. I'm curious if this is something I'd want too (I'm pretty sure I do).

    being able to add custom entity models to items

    I'd be interested to see what you do with that, I know a lot of the Hermits did custom model stuff this season. If we did have that as an option I'd probably find a reason to use it.

    From Hermitcraft season 10 I'd recommend Keralis, SmallishBeans, PearlescentMoon, Rendog, and BdoubleO100. They really made some amazing stuff this season. I also really like Tango's base, but he spent a considerable amount of his time this season working on redstone games, so probably not the best resource for learning building techniques.

    Edit: I forgot GoodTimesWithScar and Mumbo Jumbo! Mumbo in particular did some really cool stuff with the new buildstone ideas that have been circulating. His base has lots of animation using redstone like big fans and a blinking robot face.

    I'd be glad to have these as well!

    The custom nether portals just allow us to build nether portals in other shapes, I think it won't change much of the gameplay at all, just offering more freedom.

    The painting picker allows us to pick a painting using a stonecutter, I just think it is a convenient addition.

    I'd be glad to have these as well!

    I have big plans this season, maybe too big, but I was really inspired by this latest season of Hermitcraft. I plan to build a giant floating futuristic (cyberpunk-ish) city with an interactive shooting game minecart ride weaving throughout it. I also am working on a sewer labyrinth with some puzzles and parkour sprinkled in. The last few days I had a bunch of fun making different job robots to sprinkle throughout the city. The reactor core at the city's center should be pretty cool too. I'll post a teaser screenshot or two later. Having said all that, I agree it's a little earlier of a start than I'd prefer. I think the new year as creesch suggested would be preferable. That'll give me a little extra time to get some things figured out ahead of time that are more difficult than I'd like to do in survival (the bottom of the city will hopefully look like it's been ripped up out of the ground, still figuring out how to do it with Axiom and not need to use 100 million blocks to pull it off).

    Edit: I'm also planning to integrate animated armor stands throughout the city, kind of like I did with the Big Pig Bakery last server. I want them to wave as you pass by on the railline, or react when you solve a puzzle.

    Edit 2: Some screenshots! Spoilers! Basically I want to get the main structure planned out in advance with Axiom because trying to make a 300 diameter circle in the sky in survival without a plan sounded like a nightmare. Similar story with the sewer system, it's nice to be able to fly around and cut/paste different sections together to make the maze. The reactor and the robots were made to take a break from the tedium.

    I also would agree it might be a bit too soon to start again. I have big plans this time around, and I've just recently started doing some planning with the Axiom mod.

    I figured that sandstone is a better material than sand for this as well.

    It definitely shouldn't be a block like sand that has gravity. Sandstone is a better option, but I'd advocate for a darker colored block that can blend in with more things aesthetically while also being relatively easy to obtain and unlikely to be used accidentally. Maybe Cobbled Deepslate?
