Hermitcraft S10#7: Bamboo Frog Storage 

I love that Bdubs makes minigames in his shops! *Etho makes minishop for his macro-game

They need to make a horn of "Did that make you jUuuUmp?"

Ravager name ideas: -A School Bus -a Little Old Lady -Ethos Frog -Skill Issue -a bad Driver -Traffic Jam -Traffic -Exhaust Leak -Taxi -E-fish-ency V

I love that every episode the Frogger game moves closer and closer to becoming "Frogged Out" 😂

Mumbo: *literally struggling to come up with uses for gold, thinking its a poor item* Etho: ''Im buying it all!''

Etho: "I'm going to try to not to get stuck on adding too much to Frogger." also Etho: "So anyways I rebuilt it again and I decided to add _"

For the Zombie (Snake) in your frogger game, you could add a villager on each side of the moss and have it alternate showing the villager to the zombie so it’ll walk back and forth instead of always following the player

I love the slabs over the honey because in order to go fast you have to jump, which makes you feel like a frog! Great episode as always btw 😁

you can always use carpets for 'potholes' and with the honey, they become much more effective. its also a very easy way for you to change up the pattern so the hermits dont find a repeatable path.

Pausing everything for an etho video

Having watched a LOT of the decked out building and ravager wrangling process, I feel the need to save you from further heartache by gently reminding you that fishing rods are great for nudging ravagers into various places...

The way the player jumps on the honeyed slabs really makes me think of a little frog hopping along, so I think it works out really well ^^

As every programmer knows you spend the first half of the project doing 80% of the work, and then in the second half you do the other 80% of the work. Great job sticking with the game!

For the ending of the Frogger game, those frogs gave me an idea... each one leads to deals only for a specific froglight color! So, if you want the green froglights at a lower price, you have to get in to a specific frog's mouth to purchase it. It will shake things up and force players to try different paths, as well as tying the game more closely into the shop!

Etho is in his cute era with the hermit statues & cutie frogs. Ethouwu indeed.

So cute.

I’m a huge fan of the way you’ve recreated the feel of the original Frogger game! You could possibly add soul sand underneath the center block where Snake is at to slow down his tracking and allow people more variety. Still incentivizes getting out of the grassy area though

"The trick is to not worry about making it too accurate to frogger" - etho, two episodes before adding not just every feature from frogger, but even more features than that

Keralis showed Grian how to make thin stripes to define his parking lot at the permit office using light color signs under dark carpet. That would look great for your road

I think the frogs look perfect. Just frog enough to be frogs, just goofy enough to make the mini game more fun!

The obstacles on the road should be stuff like traffic signs/lights, a fire hydrant, bench/busstop. I think that would elevate the look

In the Frogger game, you could add "oil slicks" on the road that are just covered up ice to add some variation

My god he did it again. Casually reinventing storage in minecraft. I think it's the first time i have ever seen a storagesystem with redstone that i could imagine myself making. It feels like etho is going through different phases of minecraft cultivation, from simple to complex only to arrive back at simplicity with and understanding of its complexity.

Those decorative frogs, the "short little stubby guys" - they look so good! They do give off that vintage Frrogger vibe, just perfect!

Another benefit of using the 5 individual tracks with dedicated ravagers is that you'll be able to rename the water ravagers to be actual "alligators" instead of "sunday drivers" somehow running you over in the water!

Shoutout to the people on Reddit who all had their Etho senses tingle before this episode dropped

*@EthosLab* 20:40 You should name your "frogger ravagers" something like: "Sunday Driver #1", "Sunday Driver #8"... so the game gets more "personal", so people becomes like: "Damn that Sunday Driver #11 always gets me!" :D

I love the frogs, they're super cute and immediately recognisable. Honestly, the whole thing is looking amazing, and I love seeing all the thought you put into each step. It's also really fun hearing you explain things to another Hermit (redstone stuff especially) because they get to ask you questions about it in the moment, and they're usually similar to questions I have, so I learn more that way. I hope all of the Hermits start doing inter-Hermit base and project tours!

Etho is in a golden age fr. The storage tech, the frogger, the FROGS!!

I agree with Pearl, having someone over for a tour as a way to show off a build creates more dynamic content and I enjoy it!

Couldn’t wait longer for an Etho‘s video that I am watching this episode for the second time

I think the half slabs are perfect for the feel of frogger because you have that tiny little hop. I think you should have the player bring buckets of tadpoles over the roads!

mumbo's confusion and adoration of the statues on his video was so funny :)

I love how Etho is like *THE* storage guru of Minecraft. Especially the smaller Hermitcraft storage solutions always look like something I myself would want to build in my base!

ETHO, for scorinng for the frogger game you could have an item counter at the end. You pick up tokens and coins along the way. The player could also be wearing really low durability armor so when they get hit the armor breaks. the armor also gets counted in the scoring at the end. more items=higher score

etho has inspired me to tear out the storage room i have in my current survival world and put this shulker organization in. it's simply better, and this is my new storage system with every base in the future

Scar dying by flying into the ceiling was so funny

I'm not sure why BDubs always becomes an assortment of collectibles each season, but I appreciate it.

I think the carpet on the honey block will be fine. It's a game and the way it works is so much more important than looking the best. The hermits will be too worried about staying alive to think [well Etho should really have used diamonds there] as long as Frogger finally is made all will be fine. Your frogs are cute.

I loved Snake's look of confusion when the moss block was destroyed. He seems like a *solid* addition to the game 😉😂

To make the lilly pad area more challenging, you could add dispensers above them that will shot snowballs to disable the pads. Kind of like the logs that rise and sink

i like how originally etho was like im not gonna go crazy making it too true to the game. next episode hes making it true to the game

I have watched etho make frogger so many different times now and I love it every time. I still remember when he tried to do it on mindcrack modded. Crazy how far both vanilla and etho have come in that time

How do you always manage to impress me, even years after I first found your videos? Love the game, and how hard you are working to keep it faithful to the original. Two suggestions: 1. Use more orange and white for the road obstacles, to mimic construction cones and road work signs 2. Give Snake a sword with enough damage to kill in two hits (similar to the ravagers) and knockback. This way, players don’t get stuck and take a chain of quick hits, and they can choose to gamble health for a small boost into the water section. As always, Take care and keep up the great videos

10:10 that is perfect sound for a horn or two. "what in the what?!" and "h-how did you do that?"

I love the slabs, it's like you are the actual frog that has to jump to move.

I've been going through Etho Plays Minecraft series from like 13 years ago, and seeing his Frogger game here made me happy to see he put some time into doing that game again! I felt nostalgic, somewhat.

10:22 this jump cut back to business as usual is one of the funniest edits I've ever seen

Absolutely love an Etho shopping segment, it's so fun to see Hermits actually use the shops that we've seen built.

I feel like a needy british street urchin and etho just dropped a copper in my cap. Off to the gin shop lads

Can't believe you did that run for Bdubs with only 1 heart and made it.

I think it'd be great if you incorporate some of the carpet/honey parts as some of the obstacles in the road, like proper potholes. That way you get a mix of both movement types and you can take out some of those red glass gates on the road to mix up the obstacle types. Absolutely loving the build and can't wait to see where it goes!

Your perseverance in things is insane. I don’t know if I would ever have the will power to redo, problem solve, and fix the same projects over and over again like you do. Mad respect.

It is a valid game design to have the player be forced to fail and blame the game. It actually causes you to play more because then the player doesn’t always feel sad they were not good enough, they sometimes can vent at the game itself which breaks up failures being always sad. The road being random and the lily pads being skillful might actual be a genius design, you can blame the game early on, but after it’s all on you.

For anyone that cares, you can cram the bulk shulker swapper into a 3x4 instead of 4x4 if you replace the block under the 4-tick repeater with a target block, and then have the redstone dust output from the target block onto a transparent block, so that it doesnt power the piston on the alternate swapper.

revolutionizing storage once again, this is probably my new favorite system. also really loving the cool ways youre incorporating crafters into farms!

Get your snacks!!

The creation of a mail system reminded me of a new possible prank vector: spam mail and Nigerian Prince scams 🤣🤣 maybe Shady E-Es can move into the “digital” age

it been over 10 years of watching your videos my childhood omg

Etho: “This is still too easy” Me: “ That is why everyone is a Etho fan 😂 I would die SO often… “

Something to consider with the Frogger minigame, making some spots have no honey or even carpeted parts over the honey for pot holes can allow the players to learn possible patterns/paths to want to take, similar to the drip leaf section having an "quick path". They honey under the road makes the players hop like Frogger to move across the game which is very nice for feeling like a frog crossing the streets. Loving every Hermitcraft episode! Keep inspiring others to make fun builds!

Seeing you agree to help scar with his storage has made my heart happy. That man is living a hoarders paradise in that train. I see why Joel is obsessed with you 😂

Suggestion for Etho. For frogger you could put moss carpets on honey blocks to separate the roads. That way it would clearly be individual roads so it doesn’t look like a parking lot, plus it would slow players down even more when they cross them!

That sorting system is genius, amazing

*! VERY IMPORTANT INFO FOR ETHO !* ​You can unstuck the ravagers by placing a minecart in between them! There are two ways: Ether place the minecart from the side of a rail, which is sadly not possible in most cases here, HOWEVER you can also place dispensers below the rails, facing up, which will place the minecart! This should help with maintenance quite a bit, especially in hard to reach areas! Heck there might even be a chance to automate this, by chain activating them and sorting the empty minecarts out when they reach the holding zone. And a furnace minecart and/or just one-way sections for additional empty minecart cleanup help!

Thinking it was probably time for a new episode, and then it was time to drop everything to watch it already

Carpeted honeyblocks would make for great potholes to replace the fences. Easy to avoid normally, but I think with the game running the chaos will make for some funny stumbles when they forget to look where they're stepping. Also might be a good idea to honeyblock the 'snake' lane to make it less of a mad dash through the first section. Snakes in frogger don't tend to stalk the player if I remember correctly but that'd be tough to work around in the space in another way. Call it a Minecraft special to have a slow heavy hitting zombie at least try to ambush the player. The point being to not overpower the intricate ravager mechanic with a zombie that's always going to hit you since it seems the test runs didn't involve dodging or stalling to check the zombie. A final addition would be some cobwebs or something along the walls, to preempted any easy cheese strats. If they can manage to still hug the walls without that hurting them, they deserve the respect for towing such a thin line haha! In the distant future though, an interesting expansion theme would be ice levels or spider dens. Another fun idea would be replacing the ravagers with zombies, pigmen also snake for a pop-up witch for some fun underworld/cavern levels.

You could try putting honey blocks every other block in the middle to control the zombie's speed. Might also have an added bonus of looking like he slithers toward you.

The Frogs look great! Now that the roads are a half slab , you could definitely put carpet on some honey blocks instead as the potholes, which also slow players down more compared to the slabbed sections and add a dodging element that isn't above the road height

The evolution of the Googler, in a way, because I find this new system much more intuitive and also the much easier to understand the minimal redstone. Really love watching Etho organizational systems.

The frogger game is really evolving! I never imagined the possibilities. The storage solutions are so awesome. Etho is an excellent example of a player really using the full potential of the mechanics of the game.

I can't wait for Etho to become a game show host and pull a Legends of the Hidden Temple on all the hermits.

Considering you are a frog, I think I prefer the half slabs since it means the player is constantly jumping around as their movement. Really helps them get into character!

I’ve been loving these longer episodes

This frogger project has been so fun to watch! Along with everything else!!

I LOVE this forest. I kept thinking, why is he not just planting some taiga trees? But then whe it was finished, and you were hanging with all the hermits in there... Your builds really are closest minecraft can get to feeling like real life.

Etho, for the ravagers. Please use a furnace minecart. You're killing me. xD

Frogger is turning out awesome. I like the "I chop. I dig" horn, but surely, "Go get your snacks" or "Oh snappers" are more iconic to Etho, no?

With Frogger, you could have walls popping up and down randomly to block off paths, randomize the floor for slow/speed to make it a little more tricky, and you could tune some sensors to shoot out slowness arrows, or the fireball things, or bring in a ghast to shoot at people so they can't wait or somehow make the player hit a snowman and get hit by snowballs so they can't wait for the find the pattern

For some more obstacles you can do like orange and white blocks or maybe burch and acacia fence to make like a street cone/barrel

For Frogger, it could be interesting to have only 3 exits which match the 3 colors of frog lights. Whichever exit the player gets, they receive more of that color. This way if they lose partly through the round, they still get bonus of a color they are after.

The frogger game is very well done. I've been subscribed to the channel since 2014 and have seen the previous iterations on the single player let's play. It's so satisfying to see a minecraft frogger not only done, but hugely improved upon. The logic, the obstacles, the water section all come together to make a seriously fun looking game. Not so hard as to be impossible or overly frustrating, but hard enough to be a fun challenge. Very cool to see it all come together!

I love that because so many people love the frogs, the AI generated topics has that as one of the groups "people love the frogs", yes, yes we do

38:06 Maybe a way to track high score in Frogger is to set a timer for certain items to drop on the track. So the faster you are to get those items, the higher the high score. After a run you can insert it into a system where it is knowledgeable of which items are which time and it is marked on a overhead scoreboard.

Etho: "I just want to make a simple Frogger game, nothing to fancy" Also Etho: *Builds full blown functioning Frogger Game with levels and adjustable difficulty and high score features*

oh to be ethos frog

It's so awesome to see another Frogger attempt from Etho.. more so when it's working even better than the modded attempt with trains.. that was great. As wishful as the thought may be, Etho, would you consider streaming some of the Frogger development for live feedback? Nothing big, similar to your old modded streams, I think it could be fun to watch and helpful. Your own hivemind thinktanking some ideas.

Etho uploading makes my day instantly better

i really like how the mis has a spot for partially filled boxes. usually those are only conveniently accessible in bulk storage systems

You know that whenever Etho has a long pause between videos, he's been COOKING

Frogger is turning out so cool! Just an idea for if the ravagers get backed up/in a traffic jam again, you could probably use a fishing rod to get them separated from each other if needed.

I used to watch your videos years ago. Recently one of your videos showed up in my feed and re-kindled my enjoyment of minecraft. I am happy that you are still making content 😊

I've been doing online school ever since I got mono and whenever Etho uploads I tell myself to take a break and watch him. Honestly, it works pretty well.

If you can figure out a way to send double cars for the frogger game. It will make it a bit harder. I suggest having a second row of ravagers in storage above the main storage line. Then a randomizer would eject a ravager from the 2nd line to fall onto the track and follow a 1st line ravager. Making a double car. To restore the ravagers, a check can be done at the last slot in the 1st storage line to flip a track to go up to the 2nd storage line.

Closed fence gates under carpet prevent the player from going over it so if you do use carpets doing very few closed fence gates particularly under the middle prevent paths. Also you can power the fence gates each round randomly so there is always slight adjustments in the path. Also switching out the drip leafs for gravel and using a piston extender randomly means the path is random each time(last row has to be the same each time so it’s always actually winnable). Also instead of giving the player froglights every time they win, have tokens around the map and for each token they get and win they get 1 stack of froglights. This way they can get more froglights for their diamond block but it’s more risky if you wanna get a lot.

This is such a throw back of when you tried to make Frogger on the modded mindcrack server, the crack pack series. That was one of my favorite series from the collection of minecrafters. With anderzel, docm, and etho, I miss those days );

Etho basically said he treats his item storage systems like Nintendo or Yzma. “This is ethos item storage system, he gets a new one about every season or so. This seasons model is called Kronk”

YES I KNEW IT WAS A GOOD DAY!

awesome frogger project! don't rush the details, they make the magic!

I love the frogs at the goals; they look so cute!
