Okay, so this entire idea was brought obviously by Grian’s video but also this comment:
So complete credit and thanks to them for inspo!
The Hermits as a Species:
There are two Subsections of Hermits; The Redstoner, and the Builder.
Hermits can be both, but generally will lean more into either redstone or building. Redstone Hermits love redstone contraptions; the making of them, learning about them, experimenting with redstone and all the bits and bobs that come with it. In a similar vein, Builder Hermits love building; planning them, scavenging for materials, making block pallets, and collecting random things to add to their builds.
Interestingly, though most Hermits are good with potions, fighting, and hunting, very few ever pursue these things past necessity.
Some facts about the Hermits:
Most Hermits are smaller in stature compared to regular Players. Most researchers aren’t sure on the reason, but there are no health risks that come with this.
All Hermits are hybrids! Most of the are mob-related, passive or otherwise, but there have been recorded cases of unknown DNA in Hermits.
Hermits are fascinated with Diamonds. Most ores are very important to Hermits, but specifically they use Diamonds for common trading or as a currency system.
-> Hermits have been known to hoard Diamonds, even if they are not Dragon-hybrids.
-> Diamonds, and to a lesser extent; Gold, Iron, Emerald, etc. are all precious to Hermits, though some hybrid types prefer certain ores compared to others
This applies to Redstoners, specifically, since Redstone itself is an ore. Most will prefer Redstone above others, while Builders won’t typically have a preference other than Diamond because they very rarely can use ores in their builds.
-> It is extremely advised, for your and the Hermit’s safety, to never take a Hermit’s Diamonds unless you are trusted loved one or another Hermit.
Consequences of this include biting, scratching, feral behavior, general misbehavior, griefing, or declarations of war.
In case of the last one, do not fret too much; war is a generally playful activity for hermits, one they especially love to do with loved ones or servermates.
Because war is just a past-time for them, they will not be too-big of a danger to your or your base; just be sure to resign yourself to a week or two full of devious pranks.
-> Hermits are also a very messy species! If you have a Hermit or Hermits on your server, it is recommended that you remind them to clean frequently.
If failed to be reminded, Hermits often end up covered in redstone, dust from building blocks or mining ores, or with tears and rips in clothing pieces.
Do not put too much blame on yourself if this happens; Hermits are a clumsy, often disorganized species that frequently get caught up in their newest projects.
-> Flight is one of the Hermit species’ specialities. Even hybrid types without wings learn to fly on their home server with other hermits.
This is extremely important for a Hermit. After achieving it, flight is their biggest form of transportation around servers. Taking a Hermit’s elytra or not giving one after they respawn can cause the Hermit a lot of stress, anxiety, and frustration.
-> Rockets, similarly to diamonds, are treasured by Hermits; Hermits will be able to sniff out rocket residue and find hidden rockets quickly and efficiently
-> Hermits also communicate via their comms or antennas; they are very sociable creatures, despite their name, and enjoy speaking with their servermates. Though they will be shy when taken off server and interacting with Players they are not comfortable with
-> If you are a Player, but have a Hermit friend, understand that the Hermit is most likely uncomfortable when in new situations unfamiliar to them and will want to be near you, others they know, or at least have comfort objects like diamonds, favorite building blocks, or similar
