Hermitcraft's lore, typically distinct from the season's content, is becoming intertwined with it in Season 9. Grian's 9th episode starts normally but soon includes odd occurrences, like Mumbo playing on a different account and retaining a skin change from Season 8. Grian has been building story-driven structures, such as the Entity and the Rift, which seem to be influencing events on the server. Theories suggest these builds allow Grian to travel between realities, affecting both him and other Hermits. The lore is evolving unpredictably, with current events possibly leading to a significant storyline involving reality shifts and their impact on Hermitcraft.
