Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 552: Block Breaker Lab 

i just love him xD

Being also a player of 'The Sims' games just made that even funnier.

I enjoy hearing him say "oh snappers"

Interestingly, Aqua Affinity does not seem to affect the penalty from bobbing around at the surface. I wonder if it's the same as climbing on a ladder.

It’s exactly the same as being on a ladder, good analogy! I always thought they should change that mechanic

also, conduit + water only at foot level has a different effect than water at the head level as well

@@ua89das7ufj well if bobbing in water is the same as being on a ladder then if he puts water(that he can toggle) at the bottom, he doesn't need the ladder, so it shouldn't even be that hard to implement.

I even thought of mining while on a ladder or mining while slowly gliding down, maybe while stuck in cobwebs or so.

Ur name 🤣🤣🤣

Cough cough IJevin

Take it as a life lesson - meaning comes from within. Don't expect life to hand you meaning and purpose... those are for you to create and pursue for yourself.

He’s a role model for all of us! In honor of this new project, I will make an etho statue in my world.

nicholas meek i would hate to see this world go. The other world wasnt even closely as developed as this one. I see no reason why etho should reset. He can just move a bit in the nether to new terrain, build a new base and derp arround like in the nether

he should make a walkway maybe 30 blocks up and have 1 chunk for each biome, which could be really cool. Otherwise I feel it will be too big

his build palettes are like tasty trail mixes

I don't like the crimson keep >.

It's that second guessing that gets you to try different things, and drives you to continue improving to reach the amazing cratmanship that is mastery of a craft

hell even make some builds that through the entire process i dislike, then the final cut he’ll say something like “so i made a few changes off camera” and boom, perfection.

@idlehead About a month ago Etho enabled the ability to donate to him through his channel here on YT. It's the "Join" button next to the subscribe/d button. There's literally 0 perks, and he makes that very clear, it's just a way for me to support Etho for the years and years of enjoyment!

Where did he go wrong?

He lost an anvil

we nned more etho with his clasic anvils xD

He’s lost his edge😥

sean bro what brand do you buy, im currently on my cereal etho stage.

Me when playing the Sims

Can you remember spazz thecreeper

Andy?

@@benmiller4029 yes?

Andrew Behrend like your name reminded me of Andy Bernard from the office

@@benmiller4029 i get that so often its not even funny.

I hope it's just some of his viewers trolling him with that critique, I never understood that notion _at all._ I mean we're not talking cobblestone houses here, most of his gadgets and builds are pretty nifty and oftentimes without equal, because Ergo just likes to invent stuff as he goes along. Which might be another reason that makes such a build perfect for him: What does he do if a new block or mechanic comes out? He's tampering with it, "What are it's properties?" etc. I know some guys that always carry ice in their enderchests, because he basically taught them to use it for water sources, or how did he find out that a chorus fruit can teleport you to the roof of the Nether? He even built a freaking piston-door that *only* opens if you'd hold a carrot in your hand, because a pig in a Minecart underground would sense it and trigger the switch! To me, his videos exude so much curiosity and playfulness - I mean if there'd be a curator or a gatekeeper in the museum of Minecraft mysteries, it definetly should be the guy that smells like Beef :)

Rainer-Wilfried Kasuppke it would be the guy who got the lamas to walk around sandy city like that

@@nickwilson3499 Or the guy who killed the B-Team ;)

@@nickwilson3499 huh, ive always wondered how he did that

ö

I agree that this project will be good, but I’m just worried about the actual testing part. Imagine him trying to break every block, with every tool, with every enchantment, with varying levels of haste, conduit power, mining fatigue, etc etc etc. Hopefully he won’t be actually testing every block under every condition.

@@Zavendea I highly doubt he intends to actually do that, much less record it. The point is to make a facility capable of running those experiments, not necessarily to preform them -- because most of that information is already known

Same! I wasn’t on board before, but I’m really interested to see where it goes after watching today’s episode.

S3xygoddess66 yes, especially because some math and a spread sheet can do that for you.

Now this is a huge flex

Michael Matuch what can I say

but have you done a rewatch :^)

I wish I was watching this seven years ago

pvic I’m working on it. Season 1 almost done

And places sea lanterns 2 minutes later

which he used for the anchor mining

That joke went completely over my head when I was first watching it. Thanks for pointing it out lol

@@emielverbeeren8181 I'm glad I was able to point out Etho's comedic genius to someone

This idea is awesome

I see what you did there 😆

The lab is outside the spawn chunks, I'm not sure, but I think that ender porters only work in spawn chunks wich are constantly loaded

@@Bublleslord I'm pretty sure none of the porters we saw in this episode (Nexus, Guardian farm, End portal) are in the spawn chunks, and they seemed to be working fine.

@@xPanda25 Nobody is "spreading lies." They were unsure of something and I cleared it up. This is an Etho comment section, let's keep it chill.

Etho’s lab not to be confused with Etho’s Lab

@@Da_Canadian_man ...huh?

​@@hermensonsantana3090 In the first one, lab is not capitalized, but in the second, it is

Hyperlinks!

That sounds awesome!

a lab-wide web (LWW, if you will)...

Yeah this would be epic! With the introduction of wireless redstone in the caves and cliffs update it will make it much easier aswell

YES. YES. YES. Do this, wiki walking being possible is a yes!

I was looking for this comment

That made my day

Ace

What we meant was ur mom

That's what I have with BDubs. Every single time he describes an idea, I think it's a terrible, and every time he proves me wrong.

Messy Messr there seems to be 2 different factors basically. Is your head underwater? And are your feet on the ground? Standing in water is normal (as far as I know), standing underwater or swimming above the water (or being on a ladder) is worse, and swimming underwater is the worst

That's just the "in air" effect, which would more accurately be called "not touching the ground"

There’s also aqua affinity

Is the pun “in depth” intended?

The two factors are: * Are you underwater? - If so, multiply mining time by 5, unless you have an Aqua Affinity helmet. * Do your feet touch the ground? - If not, multiply mining time by 5. Both factors can stack to a 25x penalty.

i dont think itll do too much. he just needs to go out a few thousand blocks ot find new terrain

he might actually reset his world for the update im thinking. it seems to be making a pretty significant update to terrain generation. We'll see i guess...

@@topramen1295 possibly, I think he'll do another SMP season in 1.17 more likely tho

wireless redstone.... Etho is going into god-mode

@@topramen1295 Surely he wouldn't be starting this project then right? But like you said we'll only know when it come to it

Yep

i think he should make a new world at that point, building a new cave base in new caves would be awesome!

@@Zex-4729 If I were him, I'd go into a world editor and delete some of the unused lodaded chunks, of which I assume he has hundreds of thoudands. Would reduce the file size and save having to build thousands more blocks of nether tunnel.

@@Zex-4729 Doubt that. You can just explore new chunks (possibly deleting unused regions first) to get the new world generation. Also I'd assume the new cave generation would be compatible with amplified terrain.

@@TheRealWormbo He is not gonna have a new base with the old world, even if he builds he would not stay there. And no, there is new mountain generation + archeologist site that probabely won't generate in amplified world.

The funny thing is, Etho already had the Lush Caves for about a decade. His cave base. :)

Etho: let's use the amplified terrain Mojang: let's troll Etho with cave update without warning

I think the main priority for the enderporters is speed, not lack of physical wire. The sculk block transmission actually seemed pretty slow, so I don't think they'd be too much help.

The wireless redstone is slow and short range.

@@notapplicable7292 it was slow and short range in the trailer bc they used pistons. connect it to a dispenser with arrows and the range is massive.

@@RMCs_JCA Arrows are slower than pistons, nobody's going to use them if the goal is speed.

i mean technically he already has the ghast tree farm, but since netherrack is easier to break it would probably be more efficient

This is actually a really awesome idea because you can totally make a rail transport and storage system for the ghasts as well so that you can have staging areas. It wouldn't be to hard to wire up return systems as well.

James McClelland thanks! I’ve had this idea for a while, just haven’t been able to implement it into one of my videos. I figured if anyone would do it, it would be Etho

It’s a fun theory, but I’m not entirely sure if it’d be faster than TNT/beds/regular mining...lowkey wanna test this out now:p

And yet he gets such low views now

@@frew1413 Minecraft isnt as popular. But that doesnt effect Etho's channel as much.

@@Shotgun6Surgeon9 Yeah but u see some people get millions of views on there play throughs it's sad to see ethos views go down I litilary grew up with etho

Ethos like every Minecraft player combined, he's good at building, redstone, fight, and he has IQ lol

I think it would be a nice extra touch if somehow it played forward when turned on and backwards when turned off.

AxxL what?

@@AxxLAfriku ??

Cody Marshall just don’t even give into to his nonsense

@@AxxLAfriku bro get out of here ur channel fell off

I agree ☝️

Dang. Should have listened finished before pausing and commenting

I know the episode he introduced them he explained them, but at this point I wonder how many people genuinely don't know (from new subs most likely)

Who is Etho? I know only Ergo

@@FaiienWings what episode was that?

ShadowZealot11 eThOs The gUy YouR wAtcHiNg

Use them to supply the starter chickens on a new egg farm

@@Stephan-wf1ec that's stupid

@@swiyss no that's BIG BRAIN

As stephan said build a new and/or more efficient egg farm or build machines that use eggs as ammo xD with eggs and string to detect chickens you can also make other mechanisms random. And its not always about getting the eggs for sth but for the fun to create a farm. As other ppl enjoy how a building looks.

Philip Rößler of course, I mean we’ve Mr Slab build several gold farms (my favorite is still the red overworld one) everytime trying something new. However the problem comes when it is on a server and lags the world for everyone. On the bright side, Mumbo now adds on/off buttons and Xisuma can kick him from the server if it gets too bad.

Well the EthoSlab already exists

Well... The potion lab is also titled Etho's Lab, and that's been built for years now.

Hmm where shuld i put my stone

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He used to throw diamonds into lava

Did you see the beacons?

@@waynechuah187 * he throws diamonds in lava. He's done it fairly recently

Diamonds are so annoying and fill up your inventory so fast when you mine for redstone

Diamond armor and tools are renewable, as you can just buy them from villagers.

Yeah, and he was just talking about how he tends to do that during the world tour. For what it's worth, black is a nuetral color, and blackstone is dark enough to give a nice contrast, so it'll probably get used a lot over the next several years. Generally, Etho's been making more use of shades of red, orange, and brown lately as well-granted, there's a lot of blocks with those colors. I'd think that an area focused on block breaking and mining might use some more traditional blocks (with other complimentary blocks), but I appreciate the more unique pallet.

@@Klffsj i agree, this build felt nether themed rather than old-school mining themed. but i guess his man-cave with its grass and stone is already old-school minecrafty so this is different on prupose than things from before

I think he mentioned sheers while discussing the tools to add. He did say he wanted to have every block...

Same bro

Shame

Same

Same

Same

Yea i like that Breaking block pixel art aswell. Suits the wiki theme. And cleans the rough patterns

Big mood

We all love the Etho's Slab ;)

Beef, Pause, Bdubs, Doc would be awesome

Yeah and maybe have minecraft gameplay in the background, talking us through what's happening..

ohh this would be amazing! I think having other people to talk to would make it easier on him too. talking to yourself is hard lol

Comment of the day material.

I would listen

It would be cool if he could get all the unmineable blocks and put them on display.

@@Myne1001 That's a somewhat tricky and highly technical exploit that was fixed in 1.13 already. SciCraft and Hekate were in 1.12(.2) when they held their competition for obtaining a bedrock item in vanilla survival. I believe they also plan to obtain end portal frames and (pig) spawners (the block, not spawn eggs) that way.

@@TheRealWormbo oh I'm aware of that. There have been also several exploits in past versions to get bedrock. One was during the 1.9 snapshots using ender crystals.
