    They probably meant "can" instead of "can't" would be my guess.

    Yeah, the second idea does sound really cool, but insanely difficult to pull off. I think if you build in the sky that would work fairly well, but then people would also have to go out of their way to see it, unlike with last season's version where you could see it as soon as you came through the portal. Honestly, just building it directly on the roof again seems like the best option still.

    On an unrelated note, 5.5 million blocks for my build was not accurate at all. For some reason Axiom wasn't counting the number of blocks correctly. I made a litematica schematic of the city instead and then had it output the material list to a text file. I only need 418,978 blocks so far which is considerably more manageable.

    Ah yeah, didn't realize that, they don't care about light levels.

    I thought that magma cubes spawn regardless of light level in basalt deltas?

    I'll likely be offering my AFK services this season.

    Definitely gonna need you for some of this! My city design so far will need approximately 5.5 million blocks, and I have a lot to go still. :D

    On maps, I'd love to get pristine maps of much of the overworld before much building occurs to have a kind of before-and-after map display somewhere.

    I was gonna bring up a similar idea when a new thread is eventually made before server start. It would be really cool to have at least a 4x4 map of the area we choose for town before any changes are made so we can have a good before/after. If we coordinate everyone, we should be able to make maps quickly without altering the landscape at all. We could temporarily keep some logs in the trees we cut so the leaves don't despawn.

    Have you considered using froglights to make a floor on the nether roof, then put carpets on top of them? Froglights are pretty easy to get in bulk.

    I went to read a description of the book to get an idea of your plans and I'm pretty sure I actually read this book back when it came out. I don't remember much from it now, but from reading the description it would be really cool for your city to be a giant escape room! Is that the plan?

    Count me in too then! Swift Sneak III will be a critical time-saver given the scale of my plans.

    None of the hermits are building their bases in the nether, that was more a random idea I added on to the proposition for discussion. If we do start in the nether, it likely would take less than an hour for us to get a portal set up. But as @secret_online pointed out, spawnproofing a town would be a nightmare.

    It doesn't really take long to get out tbh, they managed it pretty quickly despite many of them being careless about dying. Getting the flint and steel is the hardest part, but you also use fire charges to light the portal. I don't think it would be challenging enough to merit doing another standalone server. But I thought if nothing else it could lead to some fun discussion. For example it would honestly be really cool to see a version of Tildestown set in the nether.

    Dunno how many people will see this given the age of the thread, but Hermitcraft season 11 just started, and apparently it is now possible to set the world spawn in the nether. So everyone started fresh in the nether this season and worked their way back to the overworld via piglin bartering for obsidian and looting a nether fortress for flint and steel. Seems like it could potentially be fun to try if others are interested.
