Hermitcraft Nonsense

Tree of Life Notes (UPDATED 5/519)

basically while I was writing ToL me jotting down everything I could think of to try and make this make sense XD

Reupload because I realized I hadn't actually finished writing this all out whoop—

—————————

-in this AU, everyone's life force is tried to a tree. These are special trees that relate to the person. Here is a link to almost everyone's tree designs, there are a few that I don't know about so feel free to comment on ideas! Sorry that link doesnt work, Wattpad sucks like that :/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vvKnhgl40t9fu-MZ6TCQby8G1kc-ArlYnrYGHAtj3LQ/edit?usp=sharing

-whenever the player dies, the tree takes a small amount of damage eg. a leaf falling
-many deaths in a short amount of time can lead to the tree becoming more visibly unhealthy, but normally if you wait a couple days without dying the tree will heal itself and go back to normal

-the trees can be moved by using a special axe, similar to the armor stand book or the wrench tool. It's a iron axe that is enchanted and when you break one part of the tree, the entire thing disappears and it drops one sapling. When that sapling is replanted it grows immediately. While the sapling exists as an item, the hermits will still PROBABLY  respawn, but there is a lot more risk of perma-death or having complications.

CAUSES
1. Grian joining from an old version server brought glitches unknowingly
2. The ConVex using Vexnos to Thanos-snap the server probably doesn't help at all
3. Lag from all the redstone keeping the trees from healing (MUMBO?)
4. Exploring the world as much as the hermits have (literally like 30,000 blocks in multiple directions wow) has started to cause world corruption (like broken chunks and such)

This is a mess

HOW THEY FIX IT:
-no clue
-Xisuma rolls back the server to a time where this wasn't an issue? (Wait but that means I can't have that scene and Grian would still be ded)
-EX becomes a hero and gives his life force to heal the others
-heal them like you do a zombie villager?? Wait for the tree to die completely then use a potion/healing item on it to revived it? (This one!!)

CASUALTIES
-Grian is first death
-Wels dies soon after
-TFC dies but not a lot of people realize because he's still in his bunker
-Evil Xisuma nearly dies??? Or does??
-Xisuma gets sick but they solve the problem before he dies
-False tries to be a tough cookie and suck it up until she collapses and dies on the spot
-Doc dies right at the end but puts up a serious fight
-Tango dies
-Zedaph dies
-Scar dies and Cub is not okay
-xbCrafted dies
-Python dies

LIVING PEEPS
-Mumbo
-Jevin
-Xisuma
-Iskall
-Cleo
-Stress
-Rendog
-Cubfan
-JoeHills
-Impulse
-Jessassin but he doesn't know what's going on anyway so
**list is not comprehensive (as in I'm not sure I have all the hermits listed lol)

-not everyone knows what's going on. TBH some people probably don't even know about the trees in the first place, and some may have just randomly died or didn't know people were perma-dying in the first place. These are mainly the hermits that are actually hermits and dont do many collabs/I don't watch enough to feel comfortable writing XD

Hermits that are actually involved in the issue (AKA the ones I'm writing)
-Grian
-Mumbo
-Iskall
-Xisuma
-Stress
-False
-Cub
-Scar
-Ren
-Doc
-Tango
-Impluse
-Zedaph
-Joe
-Jevin

TIMELINE
-Iskall, False, Mumbo, and X discover Grian and his tree are sick
-Grian explains what he knows but passes out before he can finish
-everyone panics and tries to figure out how to heal him, calls Tango, Joe, Doc, and Stress to help
-Grian dies
-(side)Ren get footage of Grian's death message and keeps it in his video not sure of it's seriousness, Recap has it as the main part of their video and literally the entire fandom freaks out
-(side)almost all of the hermits go silent until this issue is resolved. Not everyone knows what is going on and are doing their own thing, so they continue to make their content until maybe some of them randomly die too. Innocence is a blessing. These hermits are Jessassin, xbCrafted, Python, TFC, and probably some others because I might shorten my list of hermits because that's a LOT of characters to write
-Xisuma calls every possible to a meeting ASAP to address the issue and figure out what caused it and how to fix it (they're assuming they can still get Grian back rn XD)
-no one knows what the heck happened, most people haven't touched their trees/forgot they existed
-the hermits are surprised by Wels' death

SOMEHOW—

-Scar and Cub go to the Woodland Mansion to see if any old books or artifacts there might have anything to help the situation
-They fight some Vindicators and start looking for what they came for
-Cub realizes that something is off with Scar and Scar says that he's not feeling well
-Scar suddenly sinks to ground but is still conscious
-Cub starts to panic and tries to help Scar
-Scar explains that he hadn't been healing properly after taking damage and assumed that his tree was broken as well, but had been hoping he could play it safe and hold on until they healed the trees but the fight with the Vindicators had really taken it out of him
-Cub tried to get Scar to heal but it isn't working
-Scar says something really sweet and brotherly to Cub before closing his eyes and going limp but still having a smile on his face
-Scar died.

SOMEHOW-

-When Tango's tree starts to die he goes insane and goes feral/demonic and starts attacking everyone with he demon features (horns, claws? Wings? That's a headcanon tho)
-in the frenzy Tango kills Python (I think I said he died earlier but I'm going with this here for sure)
-Tango pins Joe
-Impulse kills Tango before he can kill Joe

-they find a clue that they can find a cure at a set of coordinates
-coordinates turns out to be EX's hideout
-EX is dying, Xisuma's tree is affected but he is safe until EX dies
-Xisuma convinced EX to help them to keep EX from dying

SOMEHOW-

-EX dies. Originally I had it that EX is some sort of salty anti-hero and gives his life to help but I couldn't find a way to make that work so he just ends up dying. Does he respawn? Idk

-they find a cure and head back to the settled areas of Hermitcraft. Some of them go and raid everyone's storages for potion ingredients to make harming potions and splash healing potions.
-Doc and Ren fly around the server and set up beacons (existing or new) to have regen activated
-Doc is killed by phantoms
-the cure is finished and tested
-Grian lives!!!!!!!!! :D
-Impulse goes to revive Tango and Zed
-Ren revives Doc
-Grian revives Scar
-Mumbo goes to get Cub and help him out
-Cub lowkey wants to die until he sees Scar and then yay no more dead Scar and dead-inside Cub! 🤠
-Jevin revives Wels
-Iskall, Stress, and Cleo revive False
-Joe helps out Xisuma, then they go revive TFC
and that's all I had written down? Did I forget anyone?

-all this happens over the course of one very stressful week :D
