Mumbo Jumbo

Oliver "Oli" Brotherhood (born: https://twitter.com/thatmumbojumbo/status/1068797418395844609https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLLIh8iYk3g), better known online as Mumbo Jumbo (or simply Mumbo), is an English Minecraft YouTuber known for showcasing his redstone builds, sometimes with details on how to build them, as well as testing new features. He is a member of the Hermitcraft SMP server in Minecraft, having joined at the start of Season 2. He currently lives in Waterlooville, Hampshire.
==Early Life & Call of Duty==
Oli was born on December 1, 1995 in Farnham and started to make videos about BMXing, with his friends, as he was into that at that time. At some point in his life he met Tom, the person who he would originally start Mumbo Jumbo with. Tom had an Xbox 360 and Oli decided to buy one. He started making Call of Duty videos on channels such as AspectDz and DatsikGaming, with his friend Tom. He also had his personal channel at that time too, named MrOliBrotherhood, where he just uploaded clips and subscribed to people who he liked. This all changed when he saw a Minecraft video and thought he really liked it, so he started to play it and create content on the game.
==Starting out on Mumbo Jumbo==
Oli created the ThatMumboJumbo channel on the March 30th, 2012https://www.youtube.com/user/ThatMumboJumbo/about and uploaded his first video a day laterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ2jdoCvSy0, which has since been unlisted. The first public video on his channel was 'ServerCraft Survival: Episode 5: To The Nether!'. He called himself 'Viva' in this video, because that was his Call of Duty (Gamer) namehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMocs05ZDcE&t=24s. He also had a friend working on the channel, called Tom, with his name being 'DaCube' (he was 'Jumbo' in the YouTube name). He left the channel at 200 subscribers and now Mumbo runs it himself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6rqYMyKbHs&t=26s
==Early Videos & Series==
After Mumbo's ServerCraft series, he started making some redstone themed videos and later tutorials on how to use and build various redstone contraptions. He had a prominent series at this time, called ‘60 second Minecraft’, where he had to build a redstone contraption in under 60 seconds. This caused him to get 1000 subscribers on his channel. In Early 2013, after Geomine, Mumbo started a series known as 'Mumbo's World', where he played through survival on his own world. He hit 50,000 subscribers in the middle of this series and stopped the series on Episode 15, five months in. This is when he joined Hermitcraft SMP.
==Survival SMPs & Hermitcraft==
MumboJumbo had been dabbling into Survival Multiplayer Communities since 2012. He started off with a server called Geomine, which was a server run by Xisumavoid which brought together players and a few Youtubers. The community invited him for his videos, and he played there for a while. This is partly the reason why he ended up on Hermitcraft Season 2, with Xisuma and other people of that community knowing him for his videos. Unfortunately, the server got hacked after a few months and everybody stopped playing, so Mumbo started another series.
On June 9, 2013, Mumbo was approached to join Hermitcraft. He accepted, with his first video on the server being titled HermitCraft: Episode 0 - Welcome Home . He has since been a continuously active member. He has been on the Minecraft server since Season 2, so he is a veteran. He is currently the most well-known Hermit as he has the most subscribers.
*SEASON 2
*SEASON 3
*SEASON 4
*SEASON 5
*SEASON 6
*SEASON 7
*SEASON 8
Mumbo also participated in Last Life Season 2. Last life is essentially a Minecraft hardcore survival mini-series. Everyone would start with 2-6 lives (green lives have 3+ lives, yellows have 2, and reds have 1), and live peacefully, build alliances, etc. But when a player became a red life, they would automatically be entitled to attempt to kill anyone they pleased. There was also a boogie man. The boogie man would be chosen each session and would have to kill one of the players (except the ones that were on their red life). If they succeeded, they would be cured, if they failed, they would be automatically turned into a red life in the following session. Another rule was that players could trade lives with other players (ex: player 1 had one life and player 2 had three lives, then player 2 traded a life to player 1, then player 1 would have two lives, and player 2 would have two lives). Mumbo was a part of the Southlands alliance, which contained Grian, SolidarityGaming, ImpulseSV, and InTheLittleWood. He died second in the series, being killed by Grian after he attacked him.
* SEASON 2
Mumbo then participated in Secret life Season five. The gimmick for this season was that each player had three lives, with 30 hearts, and hearts do not regenerate. Every week, players are given a task that if they complete, they can get extra hearts, or reroll for a harder task to get even more hearts if they succeed, or lose hearts if they fail. Mumbo was allies with “The Mounders” which contained Pearlescentmoon, Smallisbeans, and BDoubleo100. He dies second, in session 6 to a warden.
==Minecraft Skin==
Mumbo Jumbo's usual Minecraft skin is a civilized man in a bespoke designer tuxedo with a moustache. He has used many variations of this skin such as; In Hermitcraft Season 7, he used variations of his skin that makes it look more hobbit-like (due to his starter base being based on a hobbit hole), his skin having a moustache-shaped bald patch in the back of his head, an open mouth with missing teeth instead of his moustache and the sleeves of his suit pushed up towards his shoulders, with his trousers around his stomach. In 2020, recovered his moustache from Tango Tek. Recently, In Hermitcraft Season 7, Mumbo said that he found his main skin when he searched 'moustached businessmen Minecraft skin'. In Hermitcraft Season 7, his skin was altered so that his trousers go up to his chest with a crop top. He has several "moustaches" all over his head due to Grian shaving the hair all over his head in a video. His other Minecraft account, "Mumbo" - used primarily as a Camera Account on the Hermitcraft Server, has kept his default skin in the midst of all of this.
==Channels==
Mumbo has quite a few channels, however two of them are currently active, which is Mumbo Jumbo and Mumbo (Vlogs). He had two previous channels, which at different points he called his second channel. Back in 2013, when it was the April Fools Minecraft 2.0 update, Mumbo made an animation about what is new in this update. People seemed to enjoy this, so he wanted to create another channel to dedicate some of his time into animating things relating to Minecraft and other topics. He made two animation videos and a tutorial on how to 'Create Motion in After Effects'. After his 2nd animation, he became inactive on this channel. This was unknown until Mumbo later explained his reason on TheMumbo, his newest second channel. What happened was Mumbo got two copyright strikes on that channel and if he risked a third one, it may terminate his whole career. TheMumbo was a paid channel, which was an old feature on YouTube where you had to pay to subscribe, similar to the 'Join' button nowadays, which Mumbo has on his main channel. On TheMumbo, he did vlogs to the paid members, as well as making the original version of his setup tour from 2014. He since discontinued this channel due to a bug that the paid feature was broken and nobody could subscribe to that channel.
==Filmography==
Mumbo has delved into making films since 2016 with small, personal films about his main channel (he makes these films on his second channel, called 'Mumbo') such as updates and even making films about cars that he has or is interested in. In 2017, he introduced short films to his channel, with his first one being 'Snow in the Forest '. He continued doing this, with a series called 'UK Roadtrip'. In October 2018, Mumbo shot his first film to be featured in a theatre about a Filipino fisher. He shot a Christmas advert a few months later in December 2019 and then started shooting music videos in July 2020. Mumbo started a production house too, named 2Story in 2018. He has a website made by himself, using Wix. He featured the website and Wix in a sponsored video. 
==Live Stream Joke==
He made a Xbox Live joke of a user 'Mumbo For Mayor'. This was a joke because he was campaigning to be mayor on 'Hermitcraft'. However, he swiftly stopped the livestream and made it private, so nobody can view it anymore.
