AU where the hippies couldn't go back with that discount time machine and had to wait for the materials to be added in game
they'd have to wait roughly 3 years, oop
the version they're in (alpha v1.2.6) was released in dec 2010
the update they'd have to wait for is 1.5 and that was released in march 2013
I thought the beacon was added in after the quarts, went and checked, and nope lmao.
1.4.2 added beacons, 1.5 added quarts.
I'm a very indecisive person so like there's two options for this
1) The hermits not knowing where or when they went. Confusion and lowkey panic. It's just their pov. But also They'd eventually have to go to season 7 sometime, right? I don't think they could wait forever.
And meanwhile with the hippies, they can do nothing but wait til 1.5 and just live. Of course they struggle and such
■ Also do the hippies reappear in season 7 or season 6, who knows oooo-
▪(But I actually like the idea of them appearing back in season 6 cause I have an idea with them and Wels)
2) they also could just travel back to the moment they left, so it could be three years for them but only a few hours for the hermits.
With 1) It focuses on the Hippies and the Hermits.
With 2) It just focuses on the hippies and just them.
■ Impulse really having to get used to normal redstone again upon returning to the present
■ The trio has to get used to everything again. it's not just the three of them anymore.
▪all of the hustle and bustle of hermitcraft as opposed to the calm and chill vibe of just them three. (as about as calm and chill as you can get with grian lmao, mr sets the forest on fire right away)
■ It's also because of Grians knowledge from EVO is how they're able to make it through lmao.
▪But also the dude has flashbacks of EVO and when it came to the End update he didn't want them to go through at first.
Why I went off about this? Idk I just find it really interesting.
