Hermitcraft is one of the most iconic and long-standing Minecraft survival multiplayer (SMP) servers in the world. Founded in April 2012 by YouTuber Generikb, Hermitcraft has grown into a thriving community of content creators known as “Hermits,” who collaborate, build, and entertain millions of fans across YouTube.
A Private Server for Top Minecraft Creators
Hermitcraft is a whitelist-only server, meaning you can’t apply to join. Invitations are extended only by existing members, making it a prestigious club for recognized Minecraft YouTubers. As of now, the server is managed by Xisumavoid, one of the most respected figures in the Minecraft community.
Unlike public SMP servers, Hermitcraft is focused on community storytelling, large-scale builds, and cooperative events. Every season brings a fresh Minecraft world and new adventures.
Hermitcraft Seasons
Since its inception, Hermitcraft has gone through multiple seasons. Each season marks a new world, fresh builds, and sometimes new Hermits joining the group. Here’s a quick overview:
- Season 1 to 5: Laid the foundation with core Hermits like BdoubleO100, EthosLab, and Generikb.
- Season 6 to 8: Saw explosive growth with the addition of members like Grian, Mumbo Jumbo, and GoodTimesWithScar.
- Season 9 and 10: Featured some of the most impressive megabases, redstone contraptions, and story-driven content in Minecraft history.
Hermitcraft also ran modded spin-offs like Hermitcraft Modsauce and HermitPack, giving fans a taste of tech-based adventures.

Why is Hermitcraft So Popular?
The magic of Hermitcraft lies in its collaborative spirit. Unlike solo Let’s Plays, Hermitcraft episodes are intertwined. One episode might feature a prank on another Hermit, a massive community build, or even a war between factions. This interconnected content encourages viewers to subscribe to multiple channels.
Key reasons for its popularity:
- High-quality content: Most Hermits are experienced editors and storytellers.
- Massive builds: From fantasy castles to technical mega-bases.
- Redstone engineering: Complex contraptions and automation.
- Community events: Games, storylines, competitions.
- Wholesome vibe: Family-friendly, positive, and humorous.
