Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 517: Which Episode? 

Etho - "What have i never done in vanilla minecraft?" Literally everyone - "finish a project" Etho - "hard to say, I've done it all"

No matter how many years go by, It’s still Etho and boat dispensers

Etho: *How do you figure out what to do in Minecraft?* Me: Watch Etho...

Etho, you claim to have done just about everything on your vanilla LP world - but one thing I haven't seen you attempt is making a fully custom biome somewhere in your world. It would be a lot of work, but it could be a great opportunity for creative experimentation and to build something unique for your world. Edit: Looks like I forgot about one terraforming project, but there's always room for another.

Sarcastically says he's the first to figure out using boats in a dispenser... Actually came up with the OG boat dispenser waaayyyyy back in Alpha using water streams. Etho is THE old school innovator for Minecraft. Glad to have been here from the beginning

"Because i cant lauch the boat, i will launch myself to the boat" Ah... the programer thinking way i see

I don't even watch or play Minecraft anymore. I only came back because I've always loved ethos let's plays

Watching this, hearing Etho's voice for the first time in years, I'm in tears... When I started watching you, I would have been around 10 to 11 or so, and the vast memories of watching the letsplay grow were nothing short of amazing. You actually inspired me to start my own LP! (which ended after 20-odd episodes LUL) I then ventured out, and I had a few... difficulties in life. Only recently, when I stumbled across the full soundtrack of mc (I listen to game soundtracks while doing homework), did I realise how much time had really passed, and how the childhood I had, the obsessed-with-minecraft child version of me, the real happy and calm days, have forever gone.. I have always considered you the best survival player ever, and I will always refuse to change that thought. Just a suggestion, what if you started a discord server, or found a way to be even more interactive with the community? I think it would be a good idea, especially for server development and for interactivity with us! Lastly, I just want to thank you, for not abandoning us for all of these years... I love you Etho, you have been and are one of the greatest people on this platform.

This is ethos's Minecraft mid life crisis.

I was watching Etho back in sixth grade I'm graduating and going to college this summer Watching these LP episodes (as scarce as they are) brings me back to better days. Thank you Etho. You rock :D

Etho the master of Transitions. How does he do that? A master never tells his secrets.

Bro i use to watch you when i was 14, im 21 now🥺🥺🥺🥺 time flys. Love you bro! Wow cant believe this got over 500likes thank you!!!

Thanks dad!

Remember the boat dispensers of the old EATS road? I do!

missing from the older videos? didnt see a single block of tnt this episode, truly outrageous. xd love ya etho

I miss Team Canada modpack series, like skyfactory 2.5, I loved that.

I kinda miss the adventure maps and modded Minecraft, but really pixelmon has been such a pleasant, surprisingly good series that I’m happy to wait a while for new stuff

Etho I think you should do more at your 1.13 underwater base. You were going hard on it for a little bit, until you just up and abandoned it. I feel like there's a lot of inspiration you could take from that area.

You should continue the Biome Enhancement Project! The "B.E.P." as it were.

Etho resurfaced in my recommendations after years, and he's still going strong. His voice has become so much more upbeat than in previous episodes. It's just... I want to watch Etho now again, and see how he's changed after 300 episodes and years. Nostalgia is coursing through me all the sudden. Love ya, Etho, you never stop being you. Also, 2 mil subs. God damn.

I'd love to see you take on another CTM map! Those series were why I originally subscribed to your channel.

I'd like to see more of General Spaz.

21:35 Etho, you should try moving to Mars. The length of the day at Mars is 24.7 hours!

etho i think the reason the launcher wasn't working consistently with you in the boat is because you were holding forward, if you let it launch you into the air first and then start holding forward, it should work more consistently. i was able to get it to work in my game with your design

The moment you said "boat dispenser" I smiled. And actually thought you'd create an OG boat dispenser. Like that's an old reference...

I loved it every time you played a CTM map. Have rewatched the series a couple of times now and it would be amazing if you could try out a new map again :D

Right I'm sorry but can we please get this man to 2 million he has been on 1.9 for like 2 years

I kind of miss single player CTM maps like legendary

If you're running low on ideas, why not build a zoo of all the different mobs? Sort of like project Pokémon but not just villagers and give each mob a custom enclosure.

23:44 "That was TORCHure" oh man i need to sleep

damn... i almost forgot about ethos for a while, i remember watching you 7 years ago, im 19 now and holy crap does time flies, don't let the flame burn out my man, you're amazing!

I haven’t watched since episode 200 and then this popped up in my recommended. Long time no see!!

Me: *Is rewatching season 2 of mindcrack, with all the boats, and boat dispensers in “Ethopia” Etho: *creates an episode heavily featuring boat dispensers and boats”

"My plan for today - just gonna keep it simple..." Almost expected "I'm gonna cut trees for 20 minutes!"

23:46 “That was torture” Said that as he placed a torch on the wall “That was torch-ure”

I hadn't watched Etho in 3 years.. This is way too nostalgic..

Etho, to be real you have the coolest minecraft world I have ever, and will ever see! No matter what you do in this world it always amazes me to see the surroundings and the absolute gargantuan size of it. I have been a long time fan and love your videos man, thanks for the awesome content.

New project idea “build a new nexus”

I enjoyed the relaxed vibe of this video. Just hearing you talk about your life and watching you do any monotonous task in minecraft is entertaining enough.

I miss the more technical episodes you used to do all the time way back then. It's gotten to a point where your inventions are still used by many (nowadays mainly the Etho clock and possibly the hopper dropper trick - which comes with its own song!!! - because stuff tend to break over time) and when other minecrafters use them and mention you I feel pride of you and proud to be a part of your community. On the other hand, I also understand that the technical community has evolved greatly since then, to a point where people decompile the game to find the most optimal farms and whatnot, but I still believe that technical but not-too-technical videos are still viable, just look at Mumbo for example. The other main thing I miss from you is indeed an SMP vanilla series. I'm a very long time watcher and I'm proud to be able to say I've watched most of your videos. I was here for Mindcrack, heck I was even here before Chocolate Island was a thing! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked here... My point is, although I've loved most of your videos so far, most of the time the best ones were from SMP series. And though I love your Pixelmon series, I feel like it's still missing things that maybe only vanilla Minecraft can provide. To give you an example, just look at what's happened so far on the Hermitcraft server: the game of Tag, a very high number of pranks in very little time leading to an all out war where the hermits built impressive and creative builds, traps and weapons... To be fair, I'm not asking for a Hermitcraft series, you've stopped the last one and you have your reasons. Instead I'm begging (yes because I'm desperate!) for you to become a honorary Hermit who contributes to big events and pranks (though more is always better in this case). Just look at DocM mentionning you and wearing your face in multiple episodes of his own series... I'm not the only one waiting for this! (The next big event is the hermits trying to kill 100 withers, it's going go horribly, but it will be fun!)

Etho, you mentioned starting to work out quite some time ago. Do you still workout nowadays?

Thank you for the transitions - haven't laughed out loud like that in a while. :) Idea for things to do in this world: Revisit your other locations (amplified base, slab city, mini-base (which isn't erased right?)) and see if you can add something to those. I think we all enjoy you just doing some small projects, like you did in this episode.

I’d like to see maps with Beef and Pause return. Those were always fun

You could make a custom bossfight using red stone, make a fantasy biome ( think blue mushroom in terraria), make a cloud village that farms clouds (snow) make an improved jungle temple, make a material pusher( pushes blocks for eternity) make your own painting,

i miss the modded survival, the one with the steampunk city, bandit camp, floating island, ocean city, etc. I know it got laggy and that's why it ended but maybe you could bring something similar back with a smaller modpack?

Etho-your custom modpack series that you played 2/3 three years ago was a ton of fun to watch. A revival of that would be amazing! I remember your nice fishing village and mountain project. Very cool unexplored ideas!

Etho! Good to see you, buddy! :) I always love resource gathering, mini projects, and story time with Etho. I've got nearly the exact same sleep problems. I tend to sleep 6 OR 12 hours, then be awake for 16-20 hours. Thank you for mentioning FoolCraft! (I don't mind when a series ends; I just like to know when it's official.) Thank you for the episode and I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

No idea how long it’s been since I watched a etho video but idk about everybody else but this dude really is apart of my childhood. I’m 18 years old and I started watching this guy in 2012 and that’s wild to think about ... im really gonna look back at this when I’m older.

Hey etho! Project ozone 3 has been realesed and I was thinking you should play it. I think it would be a lot of fun to start a new series!

What Episode is this? Episode Five? Are we on Chocolate Island? I'm confused, and loving it.

Hey Etho, since you're running out of things to do on this world, why don't you start a new world; From within this current world? You could drop everything and go off to some distant land(kinda like you did with the Amplified Base) but leave all your good tools/equipment/builds behind and essentially start anew. Then, once the new base is established and you've built a bunch of stuff(say 10, 15 episodes or so?) you can come back to the main part of your world, and you'll have another project to periodically come back to. It could be a good way to inject the series with fresh content. Just a suggestion. Also good to hear you've gotten your sleep schedule figured out- I know exactly how that feels to be off your rocker cause you're not getting proper sleep. XD

Etho-I truly hope you see this. I used to come home when I was bullied everyday and watch your videos until I went to bed to ease the pain. 6 years later, I get recommended one of your videos out of the blue and start bawling because of the memories of that time and how you helped me. You will always truly have a special spot in my heart- Thank you, Etho.

Hi Etho, i would love to see you do some low efford series Like an adventure map, where you don't really have offscreen time. We get regular Videos and you can almost record the whole thing in one go. (Maybe Team Canada Action? That would be more work again tho...) Love your videos, always did

Proud to say i understood the very deep joke. Been watching since day 1, so glad this series is still going.

i freakn love that “youve been etho’d” giant mural everytime i see it. always thought that it was well done. good effect on the depth on it and choice of background

Ethos suddenly came up on my feed. It truly it feels nostalgic watching him after all these years and it’s honestly great seeing him enjoying the game. Made me just dust off my old xbox and just load up Minecraft. A lot has changed, but it feels great just playing the games. Those simple times.

Etho, the definition of a genuine man. a man so great he steer'd most of my childhood. My 21st birthday will be soon and this is the first time im being notified of an Ethoslab video in my sub box. i havent seen a video since ep. 200 of the "Lets Play series". I just wanted to thank you very much for saying true to your subscribers and never changing to match the rest of youtube. Were near 2 million subs and im proud of you, man. been here since 40k. sincere, eli.

As long as I hear your beautiful voice over your vanilla minecraft world, its all good.

Watching Etho brings me back to the good old days. It calms me down, rids me of the stress. Thank you Etho. Thank you for still doing this. It really helps.

Etho! TNT explosions are to drop all blocks it explodes! This is a game changer. Maybe you could do something with it? Thanks for sticking with the series and working through creative burnout. The fact that you've been able to keep an entertaining vanilla let's play series entertaining for this long is already an amazing achievement. Lots of love. (Also, villages should be fun in 1.14)

I missed the transitions! Thanks for bringing them back! Also the boat dispenser joke was pretty good :P

Is Etho gonna resurrect EATS Road? Boat elevators have returned to 1.13 with the use of Bubble Collumns!

Gotta say, I love the let's play episodes. Etho can play anything and I'll probably watch, but these are my favorite. I remember back before episode 200, to see how far this one world has gone is amazing. EDIT: watching this through all I can say is RIP Eth'sRoad.

I loved the incredible messiness of this episode. Went from “let’s chop a tree” to “we should use more boats” to “LETS COMBINE DISPENSERS WITH OTHER THINGS” all in the course of the same 7 mins

Hey Etho! Vechs has released a new Super Hostile map, "Iceolation"! You should give it a go if you are looking for something new.

Damn Etho, stop spamming my feed with the let's play! It's almost as bad as your battlebane uploads :P

I've missed this series. I have been waiting so long to see you playing on this world I want to see more of your experimenting with redstone and game mechanics. I didn't watch for a long time, starting in chocolate island, to build up a buffer so I could binge watch you and it took a month to catch up. I have been current for about a year now and I want to see more, I even went back and watched all the series that were short. I really want to see you on Hermitcraft in real time. I only started watching it when Grian joined, but the one thing I thought was 'I want to see him and Etho interact'. I love listening to you and watching you play. Keep having fun with it!

I like this. It's a nice and relaxing episode. Landscaping can be a regular part of the let's play without the guilty intro about not knowing what to do.

Did anyone else scream when the notification popped up

Hey Etho! Not getting sleepy usually happens when i look at a screen (bright) for too long, try installing flux or something like it and have it switch to yellow and decrease the brightness at the evenings/nights. Might not be good for video when you want to record, but it will save your eyes and your mind. Have a good one!

Hey Etho I’ve been watching for almost 6 years, I realize it isn’t even for minecraft I don’t even play it anymore. It’s just to watch you and the progression of the world. Thank you for so many years of entertainment!

Etho: *Mind is slowly unraveling* Me: *Prepares popcorn*

I just realized I have been watching since I was like 6/7 (14 almost 15 now) like the only Minecraft RU-vidd I watch anymore.

please start a singleplayer modded series again. really loved your custom mod pack series. or with another youtuber *cough* doc *cough*

that open spot (24:37) for a small village with the new 1.14 villagers, or a cattle farm, making it feel more alive. had a huge smile on my face a boat that boat dispenser. thx for that.

I think the single best thing about Etho is that he never stopped feeling like one of us. Even after years of doing YT and hitting nearly 2M subscribers, it still feels like watching one of us gamers chill and be himself and have fun. No over the top clickbait, spammed videos for revenu, sponsors, etc. It's nice to come here and relax. :)

This comment will probably get lost, but I think that you should play other games that you like on camera. You don't have to keep going on MC if you're feeling burned out, I've always enjoyed the other games you've picked out to play (terraria, dont starve, etc.). Don't feel afraid to branch out, we've all been at that point of burnout.

Legend has it that between episodes you can watch every episode before

I LOVE story time, please bring the series back this has always been my favorite!!

I don't think there is anything I particularly miss from your older videos, except maybe the nostalgia. I've watched you continuously grow as a youtuber, and I'm very grateful that you've managed to stick to your principles this whole time. Thank you for being you! Also, good luck maintaining your sleep schedule :)

Anyone else drop everything to watch Etho?

Do my eyes decieve me? A vanilla episode?

Ideas for you: -A parkour trail between mountains or across a body of water -A small storage/display area for EVERY item/block -A redstone museum where you display examples of the most important "simple" components (hopper clock, t flipflop, mono stable, so on) -Dolphin "road" - Ghast farm -neather beautification similar to your other biome enhancements -powered minecart scenic train ( like the scenic little trains at amusement parks) - a gauntlet run with some parkour and named mobs to protect some treasure -emergency equipment pod that throws all your needs on you after you die (armour, tools, potions, food) I hope one of these can help.

Honestly I just like seeing you transform the world a bunch. I'd be happy to keep seeing paths, trees, and all that

Legitimately how i feel on my lp. Load up sit there with nothing...close and open modded

You should definitely make an underwater section of your base with the new conduits :D

"Let's make some happy little custom trees. This is your world you can do what ever you want in it." Etho

Uncharted territory 3 is my favorite piece or content on any platform and I still watch it all the time. I would love to see another team Canada CTM! It brings me to nostalgia and tear land every time!

Etho. for your 2M Sub Milestone, you should attempt to recreate Chocolate Island in your LP world. I think a lot of us long time viewers would get a kick out of that :D

Someone PLEASE make a sick beat out of “next episode next episode reaallly smooth transition in the next episode this episode? Next episode”

The smooth transition was super slick. Really, it's about as smooth as Jacques Cousteau sitting in a jacuzzi.

Lots of people want you to do Hermitcraft, and I agree. Would love to see you getting along with that crowd again, they're all so nice. In terms of what I miss from the old episodes; building mob farms and hoarding items in an ever-more efficient way. The process of creating a new and interesting way of getting a resource, overcoming roadblocks in design and satisfying mini-timelapses with your classically brilliant commentary. Then, deliberating over the absolute best way to decorate the thing. That's what I'm here for. To go full circle, I think the best way to get back into that (because you have pretty much every resource at arms length in your LP) is to join the next season of Hermitcraft. I don't comment often, but you'll always have a special place in my heart for the hours of entertainment I've gotten from your minecraft serieses Etho

I really love building villages in Minecraft. So whenever I dont know what else to do, i just keep expanding my territory :D

I miss the General Spaz situation... Maybe, because you have some burnout, why not do some more stuff like that in the future? Get an alternative feeling of adventure by figuratively building upon the world? Just a suggestion.

Love the chill vibes of this episode. As for ideas of things we’d like to see, I’d like to see another Team Canada CTM or something.

you know, I forgot how old that world was. Then I noticed all of the creeper-blown cobble-filled holes... that's honestly pretty cool that you can stay with a world so long. I appreciate what you do etho, keep up the good work!

Etho! I can't belive you're lying to your viewers like this. "I've done it all!"???? Yet, you never mined the clay...

Recreate that gigantic Nether Hub room with the jeb_ sheep hanging from the top with a lasso.

Man, the first video I saw of yours was the boat road one, and then I just fell in love with your channel and kept watching. That was when I was around 16, I am now 25 and decided to check how you were doing, and here we are, back to the boat saga! Love you Etho, you were part of my childhood!

Honestly, Etho feels so at home and comfortable in his vanilla LP videos. It's great that he doesn't feel stressed or forced when he does them ^_^
