Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 426: Investigating Things 

**sees new Etho video** Yes! **sees "Etho Plays Minecraft"** YES! **sees TNT in the thumbnail** YEEEEEEEEEES!!!

The "donkey" is labeled as a mule in its inventory

My two most hated bugs in this game that's been in the game foreeever: - Animal luring bug; if you hold wheat to lure cows, for example, if you would either get out of range from them OR switch to another item, then when you go go back/switch back to wheat, the cows are not gonna follow you anymore, until a few minutes. - Block breaking bug; using high effiency to insta-mine blocks leaving behind ghost blocks that you need to reset your game to fix or put a block in the appropriate place to update it.

**invents a new kind of clock** **years later, makes it better**

I think anyone can agree Etho videos are the best video

Oh using the spectral arrows to see mob spawns is an awesome idea! :D Edit: Unfortunately, I believe you're correct with the horses. Donkeys and mules textures have been mixed up, not their ids :(

Secret Project.... Not seen.

Hmmm what is that secret project sir?

Etho the iron golem swimming bug was fixed in the 45 snapshot yesterday

Etho that WAS a mule, not a donkey

Very clever what Etho did. The last save of his LP world showed the Secret Room with all doors opened, but what is inside can't be seen. Just below you see the Secret Project world that has commands blocks, trails of lights, what looks like a lot of redstone or a door, and it's over the void. Good planning, Etho, I love the way you make your videos!

Hey Etho, I have an idea for your towers you have to climb up to get around with your wings, you need 3 items, 1.Slimeblock 2.torch 3. Boat first place down your Slimeblock, and I top of the Slimeblock place the torch, then out the boat on your Slimeblock, then when u get into the boat you will get launched upward, the longer you wait to get into the boat the higher you'll be launched upward, this could be used for getting high in the air for the elytra wings so you don't have the eye soar of the tower and don't have to climb the tower each day, thanks for the videos, you always bring a smile to my face -Simon

LAST! (True while I'm typing this).

when you split blocks of redstone into dust. you lose some when your inventory is full. you forgot that one Etho. (remember from TFC. you lost your copper ingots due to a vanilla bug with full inventory?)

The giggles I had when you went by your poppyfarm. Nothing to see here, just a bunch of gentlemen hanging out in public

Bwah-hahaha! 18:03 Etho's "whaaaat...?" syncs PERFECTLY with the donkey's open mouth. Lol

Hold on, wait a second... at 5:21, are those conditional command blocks? I haven't read up on 1.9 yet since I've heard they are still making a lot of changes to what will be in and what is getting cut from release. I hate to get my hopes up...

Etho, I got one question for you. What are those?

Hey Etho! I know what's maybe a better way of requesting items at the Nexus. Have two droppers pointing into each other in the wall of your control room so you can access them. Wire it such that when there's items in dropper A, enable the item requesting clock, and whenever an item is requested, also pulse dropper A. So then if you put a stack of items in dropper A, exactly one stack of items will be requested from Nexus storage. Dropper B just serves as storage of some easy-to-get material to put in dropper A when you want items. This way you can request up to nine stacks of items, you can select exactly how many you want, and can even cancel ongoing requests if you change your mind. Hope that made sense. Of course, if you want to do it complicated because it's more fun that way, that's fine too. I've been watching long enough to know your style :) But I don't think you can really beat the convenience of this system. Only downside is that you need at least one inventory spot free to move the items from one dropper to the other. But then again, when you're requesting items, you shouldn't have a full inventory anyway.

I love this series man. So glad you're still going

MULTI-THREAD MINECRAFT!!!

those crystals could in some people's case be considered cheep, more effective TNT!

426 episodes. wow. I haven't really watch since the one hundred episodes, crazy that you're still keeping this going and how far this has come.

With the way he flies around now it reminds me of his modded series and the jetpack lol

I wonder what the secret project is... looks like a map he's building...?

Etho!! (Double Exclamation Mark. I can predict the future...) PLEASE update your world download!! EDIT: I forgot the "your"

Donkey says WHAAAAT? 18:03. HILARIOUS timing

That is the most beautiful minecraft scenery ever at the beginning of the video.

24:36 Secret project? Etho LP Guardian? those are some pretty big spoilers ;\

Hey Etho, I was wondering. What gave you your name?

I love Etho's mine craft vids. My favorite on RU-vid.

Oh, wow. I noticed Etho's times on when he was playing the game on November 4th and 5th. He went from 6:18PM November 4th in his void world, the one where he shows the types of spawning mechanics, to 5AM November 5th in the glider world, which is a time elapse of almost twelve hours. Maybe he slept then, but I doubt it because Etho says he's a night person and works best from really late at night to early morning. And then, at 9:30AM, Etho last played the LP world. Sooooo, basically, Etho spent two days and let's saaaaaaaaay, anywhere from 5-17 hours on this one episode. That's dedication, hard work, and taken for granted, for sure. We appreciate your hard work, Etho. :) Quality over quantity.

etho youre the best :D

Etho do u like ark or minecraft more?

Thank you for bringing joy to my late night good sir! Always a pleasure to watch your vids, thank you for keeping your style through out the years!!

Wait, Etho used a CREATIVE TESTING WORLD??? Man, this is one heck of a day!

The thumbnail looks promising.. :)

That secret project man, I just love how Etho trolls us

I've been watching your videos since you had as little as 100k subs and I still don't find you boring, carry on with what you're doing etho

"oh hello..........did not realize you were gonna be there" lolled so hard :D

I damn near jizz my pants when I See a new etho video in my subscription box. Kreygasm.

You should chain a hopper and a dropper clock together, Etho. So you can hit the button to request items immediately when the button is actually available. Like, you hit the button and a dropper shoots an item into another dropper, then while that dropper has items in it, it runs the hopper clock. Every time the hopper clock finishes, it powers the dropper to shoot it back into the original dropper. This way you can just click the button and the system will do what you want.

Etho, instead of having buttons for each amount of items you want, try this: You get two chests, one filled with junk items, the other one empty. The empty one has a hopper underneath it leading items to a hopper clock that passes the items on instead of keeping them. This way, with the correct clock, you could just choose the amount of items you want from the junk chest (that will be filled with the items from the clock), and just put them inside the the empty one. This way you can also stop if you decided you didnt want more items.

Etho I just love your channel and the let's play! Thank you so much for making these amazing episodes :) They are just so much fun to watch and make me happy each time I see a new upload

These videos make my day. Don't stop posting them please

17:37 "We had a Donkey but he drowned in this water" *Donkey Nays* Me: "You can still hear his nay"

Been here since couple thousand subs, but got into UHC and factions. Finally, returning to my home youtuber, I notice after several MONTHS he still hasn't finished that DANG man cave entrance.... Good Ep Etho, keep it up :D I will be there for 2 million :D

witch and farm are 2 words I never thought id hear etho say beside each other :)

To get things straight, the thing that change is that any block that is a non solid is a valid starter block for spawning. So they made all non solid blocks the same attributes as airblocks when it comes to spawning (20 blocks away)

New Etho Plays Minecraft episode! Time to find some snacks! ;)

Etho: sounds dissapointed by cystals detonating instantly Me: rubs hands with glee and thinks of instant mines (plate/tripwire, dispenser, arrow, Crystal. Stack more crystals for moar damage.)

Nice video qs usual. Few month back i begin to watch your let's play from the begining and i finally catching up. I have to say, two of the things i like the most in your videos are the introduction and your transition . Keep up the good work

0:27 "I have to be careful" he says with elytra, next to a ladder, and on top of water ;) nice vid man.

Etho, using two chests with a hopper and comparator between them vertically is an easier way to request a set number of items. Just put the amount of items you want to request in the top chest, then the signal from the comparator will only last as long as the items take to flow to the bottom. It does not matter what item you put in the top chest, just as long as it stacks to the amount you want to request.

Etho, I think a simpler solution to your problem about the witches despawning as they fall is to build a containment unit at a point were they don't respawn. Then when you come down to harvest drop them down into the hoppers so that they die. This could be achieved by simply placing pistons that push blocks in front of the drop chute. I don't know if this would work but it seems like it would.

To be completely honest, i really like the stair and slab visual glitch thing, it looks really cool

Etho, the crystals don't make a bigger cavity because they don't fly, plain and simple. If you pile TNT, the first one is gonna activate the other ones, and then they will push each other while exploding. That works especially if your block of TNT is wider than the explosion radius of one TNT, so there are three waves.

I just found something out: You can tower up using the End Rods, and then, when you are at the top, place some water and remove it a short time later, just so there is a little bit of water going down. You'll go down the end rods quite fast!

The scientific testing was very interesting Etho

Thanks for the tip with hopper clocks! It's going to help me with automation in my modded Minecraft world!

Etho back to mob science and experimenting-- what's not to love here?

Etho if they do add knock back to eggs. Make a chicken farm that puts all the eggs in the witch farm. You would have unlimited projectiles. Keep up the good work!!!

So for the world in ethos saves labeled Secret Project, knowing Etho and how much of a troll he can be it is just a random thing he wanted us to see so we would get hyped. DONT FALL FOR IT MY COMRADES!!! Love your videos Etho.

Hey Etho! I've been watching your videos since 5th grade and I'm now a freshman in high school. although you may not know this, you have helped me a lot. I was made fun of in school for liking minecraft but i was like no Etho plays it so its okay and you were my escape for a while. You've inspired a lot of my builds so thank you! Love you so much !!!

dear Mr. Etho you should live stream lighting up the caves for your witch farm, and at the same time do a q&a whilst you did it! love the content keep 'em comming!

Awesome episode! ...although, you can never go wrong with LOTS of TNT

17:31 Legends says you can still hear the donkey cry

The end rods are definetly gonna make some cool parkour :D

I don't even like minecraft any more but i like watching you play it :)

On 2:30, you should make a place under there with a door and some glass to watch the witches fall down while doing whatever you need, maybe even staying there for a night because its night time.

Fact: Every viewer went back to look at Etho's single player world list.

So happy every time I see one of your vids Etho, I've got my snacks!

so glad to be out of jail and able to watch ethoslab videos again .

etho you should make a second mob spawner in the witch farm area for arrows.have a switch to turn on lights in the witch farm and turn off lights in the second mob spawner. then have an item sorter and elevator to bring up the arrows and put them in the dispensers

Yes! Back to the roots etho, this is what i wanted to see on my main page :)

when you see tnt on the thumbnail, and the title says 'investigating things', you know you're in for a good episode :p

18:00 The donkey said "WHAT?" with you. Haha!

ETHO IS SUCH A TEASER........ I LOVE IT..... and hate it......... NO WAIT... I LOVE IT!

The donkeys mouth opens and closes exactly when etho starts saying whaaaaaaat and when he stops saying it lol

24:36 "SecretProject"... Now we've got two to pester Etho about. *pesters Etho about secret projects*

I really do think the secret project is a ender pearl farm because it's in the end or the background is void, he told us a long time ago that his "new" ender pearl farm was sort of broken and he's useing new blocks

Nice to see you got some blue shiny horse armor!

I really enjoy your TFC series, and would like to see alot of TFC videos in the future.

Can't wait to see what that secret project is!

Hey Etho, this episode reminded me of something I haven't seen you do in a while.. tnt cannons. maybe some elaborate slime block tnt cannon.

Etho if you need iron so badly, make a iron golem farm. Most of the things you build are like 10 times as complicated and I am positive you could do something cool with it!

427! 427! 427! nooooooooooooow!! Must see more Etho Minecraft LP NOW!! =D hehe.. Keep up the great work Etho! I love this series! =D

Hey Etho! When you are caving, if you have multiple stacks of lapis or redstone etc if you make it into blocks it uses much less inventory space. : D

24:37: there is a world named "Secret Project" where we can see Etho in a creative world with some sea lanterns and some building further, it's interresting ! :D

RIP "Don't Read This" pickaxe. Welcome Pebble Puncher

I think showing a few minutes of caving for the witch farm each episode would be cool. Just because, like you said, you haven't caved in forever.

YES! OMG that not loading the world bug freaked me out when it happened in my world. I thought that the save had become corrupted. ~Hobbit

Great episode as always :)

At 18 minutes ethos says "whaaaaaat" and the donkeys mouth moves at the same time

i can already see etho building a ghast farm in order to use end crystals for destructive means in the future :D

"time to lbow some stuff up" ethos words of wisdom :)

I thought the spawn check was just changed to allow transparent blocks in addition to air blocks. Packed ice is solid! Then again, your rim is only a single block thick and you're not going for extreme efficiency, so I don't think the difference would be too noticeable anyways.

That thumbnail is a lovely sight to see in my sub box.

I think it'd be an interesting concept to have a hopper sort of mechanism to where you put however many items you want to receive in it and as it passes through a secondary hopper it send the signal to retrieve the item by detecting the item with a comparator as it passes through the secondary hopper.(or you could use a chest to comparator).

At the same time I want etho to start a new season but at the same time he has done a lot of stuff in this world
