Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 582: Dragon Egg Room 

That reveal of the room with the platforms coming up was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in quite some time

the dragon egg room was by far one of the coolest Minecraft entrances

Etho's messes always feel so realistic. Like, he lost a bunch of books in a nook under the stairs. I don't know why, but that feels like a problem someone could actually have. Its also quite funny that the world has become so old that even Etho is rediscovering old easter eggs. Its so chaotic and packed with gadgets, I love it!

Over time, especially the last 2-3 years (thinking of the monstrocity), Etho has really developed such a unique and amazing build style. I never used to think of him as a builder, but at this point I really do. His style is just so colorfull, unique, and beautiful. I love it so much. I was really blown away by the Dragon Egg room, one of my favorite builds lately, along with his base in the modded series

24:00 Etho's world is so old, he doesn't need an update to do archeology! I love that your world has such history!

Does no one appreciate the timing of that entrance. Etho timed the entering and the exiting perfectly with the beat drops. Outstanding. This is art

I think what I find most inspiring about the dragon egg room is that it was done in Vanilla MC and it uses simple techniques to make a magical experience. It's like Disneyland theme parks, they aren't breaking the laws of physics, but they are applying visual and framing techniques that make the parks astonishing and magical in their own regard.

Love how you have your own archeology to discover in your world. The stairs you walk so much hide its own treasure.

Etho, "Gray" is the American spelling. Us Canadians spell it "Grey" so you've done it just fine :)

“I’ve got so many first world problems. If only I could make a TikTok right now, I’d be so popular.” The best thing I’ve ever heard Etho say in 13 years LOL

No one seems to have really mentioned it but I am super glad you loaded a backup after that catastrophe. Your time is too precious and you have given us so much entertainment I would way rather see you create and build new things while enjoying your world :)

Dude it's been over a decade of watching you. That entrance made me feel the same way your boat road did. That was sick.

Hello Etho, i have an idea for the empty pyramid floor. Make it a pottery collection room. It will match the terracotta color and like old potteries that you can smash to loot inside a pyramid floor feels nice. Love you Etho, watching since 2011.

I can’t believe you’re gonna be in MCC dude! Good luck!!!

I think the Egg room is the most Etho thing I've ever seen.. so dang cool, high tech, and very well thought out :)

Etho, I feel like I'm shouting into the void here, but I LOVE getting the technical details of your Redstone. I swear, I wish you'd do a separate series where you talk about the specific technical details of devices, so that I could learn more. I learn so much Redstone from you.

Nothing like a 27 minutes of Etho to start my day

You can use Powdered Snow for the seed droppers to align and set the fall speed of the seeds, they are 100% reliable.

Etho giggling at his hard work with the egg room makes me feel so happy LOL

Did Etho just made the coolest “Roll the credits” scenery ever? The dragon egg room really sits among your best builds, thank you for putting it out there Ergo! ❤

THIS ROOM IS SO SICK!! Etho using flying machines is such a giant step!

ok the dragon room was AWESOME, im actually blown away

I like how Etho lit up the spawner in the redstone access like he's "saving it for later" 😅

Hey Etho, great episode! Zedaph recently used the new features in the jukeboxes and told us that you can use a hopper minecart to pull out the record before it's finished, if you wanted to stop Pigstep as soon as the door closes.

Etho! What in the heck? That egg room is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in minecraft ever. The music disc being part of it takes it from 10 to 12. Wow

the room reveal was incredible. The music, the door (never seen a door that opens by becoming a part of the BACK OF THE ROOM) and the flying machines! Plus the string that falls to update the flying machines is genius!

Genuinely blown away by that entrance. With showmanship like that... someone should apply to be an imagineer at Scarland!

That entrance had the perfect vibe. This is not the same Etho from 10 years ago, you have improved so much!

That dragon egg room reveal made my jaw drop that was incredible

Your use of color in builds is just amazing. Idk how you do it, while everyone is using stone and wood you're always bringing builds to life with vibrant colors.

I keep coming back to Etho videos because i can always count on 3 things. 1. No shouting 2. No drama 3. Quality of depth. I can watch his videos whenever wherever without the sudden “i needa lower the volume”, or vice versa. I can leave his video at one volume setting the entire time. No drama- just explains things as they are and if youre in for a treat, he’ll let you know. Never goes into trying to get under peoples’ skins and doesnt try to garner attention in an unsavory way. Which leads me to Quality. Everything in these videos are takeaways because hes explaining how things work in the game. If i never knew how redstone worked- i can look at an etho video(more on the older ones) and copy it, and deduce whats happening in my own brain. Same as when Etho builds. Hes getting better, but throughout the series, all he does is choose what’s best, and goes to the next one-WHICH allows him to go back and see what does and doesnt work for future builds. The fact that i can watch these whenever and wherever, and can just pick up random things that will actually be useful in gameplay or hey, even real life- makes etho videos so good. Also, since he never yells, Etho has been one of the best choices for background sound when i need to get things done. Ive tried other youtubers- they either fight or argue or do some weird “passive aggresive” thing. It sucks and i dont like feeling anxious when i wanna relax.

I think the flying machine platforms in the dragon egg room are like a natural evolution of the Sneak-E-E’s ice platform entrance from Hermitcraft season 7. I just got flashbacks looking at it, I don’t know if anyone else remembers that 😂

New episode from Etho means it's a good day.

For MCC, do you plan on recording and making an edited video on it? Either way, I am excited to see you play it!!!

if you had told me in the early 00s that one of the most grounding constants in my life would be quirky technical builds with an aeshtetic twist, from trying to work with the, frankly, broken boats of the beta, to whatever minecraft is now, i wouldn't have beleived you. yet here we are. thank you etho, ergo, ladders, or whatever you name is

Etho you said that your always drinking coffee but tell me WHAT TYPE OF COFFEE?!! straight black? Iced coffee? Caramel macchiato? Espresso? Instant coffee? tell us pls

Was literally just on your channel and said out loud, "Etho, I need some Minecraft please." Thank you for listening

Holy crap that room reveal with the music... INCREDIBLE

"I’ve got so many first world problems. If only I could make a TikTok right now, I’d be so popular" LOL Etho This episode was amazing. The room was mind blowing, your projects were awesome, and that quote is so amazing. The editing was marginally less etho-y than usual but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

The fact that Etho recognized his audience is growing with him makes me happy haha.

hi etho!! saw the announcement on twitter I’m so excited to see you play mcc this saturday! if you don’t plan on streaming I’ll watch scar but I’m wishing you good luck!! hope u have a blast!! :D

My Etho senses were right! I felt a new video coming today, truly a joyous occasion. Thanks Etho!

The dragon egg room made me so giddy! It's like one of those super safes in spy movies. Also, I love that Etho's fully embraced that his viewer base has been growing up with him, and that we're used to his redstone commentary by now. Thanks for not babying us, and also giving us the excitement of recreating your builds while figuring out the minor details by ourselves!

Holy Moley 😮 that room is probably a good representation why Etho is an OG and will always remain an OG. This guy is insane

this lock and room system feels like something out of a JRPG. incredible love it so much

Make sure to train for MCC Etho! Although I'm sure you're not planning on being competitive at all, getting to know the games, and know what should be done, can really help as you're not spending time trying to "learn on the job".

ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWN!!!!!! the whole thing was awesome to watch! Never seen flying machine used like that before

The seeds dropping from the ceiling to send the flying machines back down was seriously impressive. Even after all these years I’m still shocked at some of the things Etho thinks up!

The dragon room is awesome a big upgrade from the previous one and the entrance with the music makes it so much better 10/10

The creativity, thought, and redstone ingenuity that went into this room is incredible! Was not expecting Pigstep to start blasting and it was the best surprise! Great job on the dragon egg room, Etho! Definitely one of my favorite builds in your world as of today 😊

That door opening movement with the pigstep and rising floor was epic.

That is an excellent thumbnail anime Etho. There has been an uprise in infection apocalypse kind of mods. Not just Sape and Run Parasites, but there's also Infectum, Spore Fungal Infection, and that one sculk mod.

582 episodes and I don't think I'll ever get bored of watching

I think etho has made the coolest dragon egg room ever. I don't understand how you can be so creative and technical at the same time. Big respect.

That has got to be the most complex, downright COOLEST goddamn door lock system and room reveal I've ever seen. Damn, Etho.

I think it's always interesting how Etho will always try to use new blocks with every update as if he's a painter using a newly acquired palette

That dragon egg cave entrance is one of the best things ive seen in minecraft, the sound just amplifies an already awesome looking and alive entrance

13:20 caught me so off guard lmao what a good chuckle 😂

A vault so cool that Mumbo would shed a tear

Oh yeah. I remember discovering those books under the stairs when I downloaded the last world tour. Didn't think anything of it since I happened to be rewatching the entire lets play and saw you placing them there.

I've been watching religiously since 2012 or so, and every now and then I'm still blown away by videos like these, reminding me of Etho's masterful grip on this game. Thanks for being you, Etho!

The bamboo in the dragon egg room reminds me of, I think it was the first endermen farm you made with the melons. A very cool throwback if it’s intentional, or a very neat coincidence if not :D

That flying machine return mechanism is very clever! Very cool room

Maybe others have said it, but Etho you could always stream your redstone builds like others do OR you could do a redstone companion series on this channel or a second one for those that are interested. Just a thought. Thanks for years of great content!

The dragon egg room was SO creative… woah haha

The intermission at 13:30 was very needed and hilarious, thank you Etho for the great content and keep up the good work!!!

Of course Etho went & built the single coolest & most cinematic room ever as a casual thing. Why wouldn't he? With floating platforms timed with the beat drop, why not.

ANYONE CONFUSED ABOUT THE "BLACK SHEEP" BIT AT 21:57 - the term "black sheep" refers to an outsider in a group, usually used in the phrase "the black sheep of the family" to refer to a person who the rest of the family doesn't talk to or acknowledge!

The dragon egg room is so cool! I wouldn't mind more redstone projects like this that are cool for coolness sake.

Every once in a while I go back and watch your first LP video ..... your level of expertise was basically "OK. I'm gonna dig a tunnel". I love how you have developed into the master of so many things!!!

That egg room is so freaking cool. Really shows how rich you can get with just vanilla Minecraft without datapacks

Best reveal of a build I've ever seen. Thanks again Etho for making me want to play minecraft again haha

The string trick is SO good! yet so simple. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone use it

Always a good day when we get an etho video

i’ve been subscribed to you since i was a kid even though i haven’t played minecraft in ten years, and you’ve really outdone yourself with this build. wow.

5:24 Let's look at Etho's To-Do List and see what is and what isn't done: 1. Library - its never done and probably never will be done lol 2. Wilson - kinda operational, mostly abandoned. His room is certainly not done. 3. Sandy City - pretty much done, though more could be added 4. Minecart Storage System - probably completely abandoned, shulker boxes have superseded them 5. Minecart Sheep Farm - also abandoned, dispenser farms (like today'e episode) have also superseded them 6. Arena - not done, actually visited briefly in today's episode 7. Ceiling Pattern On Tree Farm - completed years ago 8. Silverfish Farm - probably broken & abandoned (the entire Stronghold Base has been abandoned tbh) 9. Bomb Factory - see number 8 10. Firework Room - complete & operational 11. Tunnel to Desert - completed years ago, upgraded even 12. Portal Network - abandoned & never to be completed 13. Underground Village - pretty much completed, but always room for expansion if wanted 14. The Nexus - completed 15. Project Pokemon - pretty much abandoned, villagers have changed so much it doesn't really matter anymore 16. Ore Storage Room - abandoned, I think he repurposed that room? 17. Simon Game - not finished, hasn't been touched in years 18. Skeleton Spawner in Mancave - abandoned, area repurposed with The Pixel Search Engine. A second skeleton farm was built near the concrete factory though. 19. Gold Farm #1 - Abandoned, the 2nd gold farm (now the Goon Farm) has superseded it 20. Musical Portal - dismantled, random music blocks were repurposed at Ender Ender 3.0 21. Dual Blaze Farm - completed 22. Nether Hub Design - pretty much complete, though old selector panels have been abandoned 23. Horse Jump Project - ongoing, recently resumed actually. Jump wall has been demolished though. 24. Guardian Farm - completed, but Etho seems to be constantly tinkering with it. Out of the 24 projects listed, only 10 can really be considered complete or partially complete. Most have been abandoned and replaced with new things.

Etho, it feels like everyone and their mothers are excited to see you play in the upcoming Minecraft Championship. By the time you might answer this you’ll likely have participated by now. How was it, and what’s your opinion on participating on events like these in the future? Keep up the great work, and much love!

An idea for the pyramid - how about some murals? A smaller scale of what you did at the guardian farm! You could take inspiration from ancient egyption murals

Enderman stealing blocks is the mechanic I hate most in minecraft. I had a modded world where I would spend all my time in a lab I made, they kept picking up blocks an placing them where the rain couldn't get them, which made a huge mess of mixed dirt and coarse dirt with holes everywhere.. And I couldn't turn mob griefing off because I needed the mobs to pick up items and zombies to convert villagers. Egg room looks great :)

For anyone who doesn't know Etho will be participating in MCC on August 5 8pm BST. Idk if he will stream it or not but you can watch it on twitch through his teammates FireBreathMan, Smajor and GoodTimesWithScar. I thought he might day it in this video but he didn't.

Etho will never cease to amaze me with his crazy amazing ideas! What a guy ♡

Such a cool build made in vanilla Minecraft! Etho does stuff people normally need mods to pull off! He never copies anyone else, thou I guess he funds inspiration from builders like Bdubs. I never stops being amazed by the brilliant mind of Ladders!

Everything you did was really cool, the dragon egg room, and I really liked the way the sheep farm looked too.

A new sheep farm brings back so many memories. I think i got hooked on Etho while he was building the first version of the pop-up sheep farm.

Nothing could have prepared me for the room reveal. The aesthetic, the music and the actual presentation of the reveal was something that I had to rewatch multiple times because I was STUNNED. Love love loved this build.

The dragon egg room might be the coolest build I've seen in years

How can one person be so unbelievably creative? After 13 years of watching Etho, he keeps surprising me.

I have been watching Etho for over 10 years now. I have had lapses in watch times but I always come back and I feel like I’m back in middle/highschool coming home and excited for a new episode. Feels good man

That room is pretty damn cool! The ender eye collection system is such a nifty solution!

Thank you Etho for recording when able :D Always a great day when you upload!

You're a warm blanket on a cold winters night.

i haven seen anything in minecraft that genuinely made me stop what i was doing in awe for a while, and that doorway did it.

For anyone who hasn't heard, Etho is in the next MCC

Etho days are the best days.

Still my favorite series on RU-vid after all these years. Love what you do, Etho!

I'm watching this series from the beginning and now that I'm on episode 153, it's crazy seeing stuff from back then in this brand new video. It's awesome being able to recognize parts of the cave that were built 11 years ago.

Wow! Fantastic episode as always etho keep it up ❤

This build is crazy. This might be my favorite Etho build in a while. I like how it went from a forgotten part of the play through to this epic room. Etho if you read this please play terraria again:)

Wow, the dragon egg room is just fantastic. Love ya Etho.

That might be the coolest room Ive ever seen in Minecraft, really enjoyed the door opening and closing and the music
