Hermitcraft Saison 8 (2021-2022) was a particularly memorable season of the popular Minecraft multiplayer server, known for its unique

1. The Map (Carte) Design:

• Custom Terrain: Unlike previous seasons, Hermitcraft S8 started on a hand-crafted, custom-generated world (made using WorldPainter), featuring:

  • A central circular "boatem" island (home to Grian, Mumbo Jumbo, Pearl, ImpulseSV, and GoodTimesWithScar).

  • Distinct biome clusters arranged in a wheel-like pattern (e.g., mushroom island, mesa, ice spikes, and flower forest).

  • A large ocean separating different Hermit factions.

• No Natural Villages or Structures: To encourage Hermits to build everything from scratch.

2. Key Locations & Factions:

• Boatem Pole: The chaotic group (Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Pearl, Impulse) who built around a giant pole, leading to wild shenanigans.

• The Octagon: A massive collaborative shopping district built in an octagonal shape, with each side themed by different Hermits.

• Crescent Moon Alliance: FalseSymmetry, Rendog, and StressMonster’s medieval-themed area.

• Big Eyes Crew: Xisuma, Keralis, and others who settled near a lake with giant eye statues.

• Tango Tek’s Decked Out 2 Testing: Though the full game came in S9, Tango started experimenting with mechanics here.

3. Major Events & Storylines:

• Moon Big / Moon Slowly Grows: A running gag where the moon in the sky appeared to expand over time, leading to theories and chaos (ending in a "moon crash" finale).

• The Turf War: A prank war between Boatem and the Big Eyes Crew over land disputes.

• Mycelium Resistance 2.0: Grian and Scar caused havoc by spreading mycelium in the Octagon.

• The End Dragon Fight: A dramatic battle where Hermits fought the Ender Dragon in a custom arena.

4. Notable Builds:

• Mumbo’s Giant Tube (a massive, useless tube).

• Grian’s "Boatem Hole" (a deep pit that became a meme).

• Scar’s Magical Village (a fantasy-style town).

• Impulse’s Industrial District (modern factories and farms).

• Docm77’s Perimeter (a massive terraforming project).

5. End of the Season:

• The season concluded in early 2022, with the "moon crash" serving as a fun apocalyptic finale.

• Many Hermits migrated to Season 9, which returned to a vanilla-generated world.

Why S8 Was Special:

• Short but packed: Only ~9 months long, but filled with fast-paced creativity.

• Custom terrain encouraged unique bases (no two Hermits had the same biome).

• More roleplay & storylines compared to other seasons.
