Minecraft:Mumbo Jumbo

Oliver "Oli" Brotherhood, better known by the alias Mumbo Jumbo, is an English Minecraft:YouTuber known for his interest in Minecraft:redstone and participation on the Minecraft:Hermitcraft server.

In the Minecraft franchise

Template:Expand section To promote the release of Template:MCE, a series of videos starring Mumbo and Minecraft:Grian were produced.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref> To assist with the production, a special skin pack was given to them; the game lacked the ability to import Minecraft:skins directly.

In 2019, to celebrate the culmination of one trillion views on Minecraft content, Mumbo made a cameo appearance in Minecraft:One Trillion Minecraft Views on YouTube and Counting. This video featured him and Grian riding on a moving house, an actual creation of Mumbo's, which he was pleased to see animated.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>

Events

In 2016 he was on a panel at MINECON 2016 which was the first dedicated to the Hermitcraft server.<ref>MINECON 2016 Hermitcraft: Growing and Maintaining a Strong Server Community - Minecraft YouTube, Oct 29, 2016</ref>

In 2018, he attended a panel at MINECON Earth, that was also about the Hermitcraft server.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref> In the beginning the hermits explained what they like about playing in a multiplayer environment with a diverse set of like minded people. They emphasized a need to patient in their meetings because of all of their cultural differences. They then moved on to talking about the hardware and software side of running a server while Mumbo got called out for the amount of lag he creates. The hermits then transition into talking about fostering their own community servers and Mumbo shares the importance of having a dedicated team who works tirelessly to maintain that community. After that they talk about fostering friendships through multiplayer Minecraft and how community games like Grian’s tag and shopping districts are invaluable to the multiplayer experience. They conclude the panel by explaining the work that goes into setting up a new season of Hermitcraft and pranks on the Hermitcraft server.

He was also on similar panel at Minecraft:MINECON Live 2019 about the Hermitcraft Server.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>

A Minecraft Movie

In 2025, he made a cameo appearance in Template:AMCM alongside several other creators as Template:AMCM at an auction for Template:AMCM's belongings. Behind the scenes, he served as a consultant, helping design several potential visual gags in Template:AMCM and Template:AMCM contraptions for the film.<ref name=":0">Template:YouTube link</ref> Among these, he helped design devices for an early version of the Template:AMCM scene, several designs based off Minecraft:Jared Hess suggesting the use of Template:AMCMs, and a “Template:AMCM Template:W.”<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref><ref name=":visit">Template:YouTube link</ref><ref>GAMERS OUTREACH CHARITY WEEKEND!!

Quotes

"

Useless machines epitomize what I love most in redstone creations. They are decently complicated from a wiring perspective, incredibly satisfying when built well, and totally pointless. This trifecta of attributes is what I look for in my favorite builds (with pointlessness being the most important).
