  • YouTube channel memberships
    • Data shows around 45 people signed up for their own membership while 40-50 were gifted to the community
    • Emotes were fun to add and there’s still room for more to be added

  • In place of discord forums, the goal is to eventually move the current events and technology channels to a new self hosted php forum.
    • This is because Joe does not want to deal with the stress of discord’s forum feature; he has experience creating forums and would rather utilize his own creativity and create a space of our own we can go to should discord ever be bought out by meta or any other event we feel the need to flee from
  • Merch store
    • Long term, Joe’s own merch store will be dependent on data collected from the HermitCraft merch store and the revenue made during the hiatus
  • Server migration to apple silicon
    • Needs more troubleshooting, but otherwise testing has gone great and is worth developing over time
  • Next generation Vanillish server
    • This would be the cozy palling around server with voice proximity chat, be the same game version as HC, update when HC does, have the same seed as HC, the same quality of life datapacks, and overall be the experience most similar to HermitCraft.
    • Joe is going to have a call with Yirggy to announce plans for Vanillish and Elevenstorm with a timeline of server events after Twitchcon on October 17th
  • Next generation Modded server
    • This will launch at the beginning of October so Joe can play on it during the HC hiatus. It will be a create mod modpack, and there will be a friendly haunted house build contest.
  • Next flagship server
    • Elevenstorm, a mix of everstorm and the bleeding edge server. Players will have to use game events to achieve features of the server, such as doing a build contest to turn off fire tick. The “HermitCraft What If” server. More details in #feedback-elevenstorm
  • Details for the servers will come out closer to their launch dates once the server operators finalize the designs. Feedback is welcome in the respective feedback channels found under the Joe Hills Meta category.
