Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 553: Goofy Hoverboards

Today we relax a bit and just take care of a few improvement projects. The Ender network gets added to. The Wither Skeleton farm gets somewhat automated. Our main tree farm gets a much needed storage system. We discover Hoverboards! Then we finish things off with my first Kelp farm.

My friend asked me if 13 stacks of iron blocks was alot, i said if you hand mined yes, if your a hermit (read youtuber) then no. Basically professional minecrafters like Etho live on a different scale than the rest of us are used to, and thats a good thing.

[@sdalt14]

For sounds on the skulk sensor, why not take the noteblock tone mechanic? Placing the sensor on smooth stone, glass, wool, slime tunes it to a particular sound event like footsteps, damage, pistons, trapdoors, water flowing, etc. This would reduce complexity and be suitable for world generation if smooth stone and skulk sensor generate together for footstep vibration

[@EthosLab]

That would work fine if you have a list of all the sounds available. However, with 100's of sounds in the game it would be near impossible to memorize them all. I feel this system for note blocks is also quite confusing and could use some reworking. I often have to check a wiki page to match them properly.

[@jeffwillsea6757]

@@EthosLab Good to know I'm not the only one confused by note blocks.

[@logannickerson4224]

@@EthosLab perhaps there could be a skulk comparator, which could have a sound set to it somehow, then would either only read that sound from shulk sensors, or disinclude it when clicked, similar to normal comparators

[@sdalt14]

@@EthosLab I agree with the confusion related to noteblocks. However I imagine having a block orientation solution could also provide more redstone functionality with block swappers changing the behaviour of the skulk sensor in a contraption instead of needing to farm multiple sensors. I am also assuming there is a risk the skulk sensor will be implemented as a non movable block entity if NBT data is added. Ilmango would get 100 more MBE episode ideas but at what cost haha

Etho, the floating striders are from when you were running the snapshotsh; there was a bug that made all striders generated then have a tag that made them immune to gravity.

He just talked about starting a new world a couple of episodes ago I still agree, a new world would just get in the way of doing the things he wants to do and things we want to see.

[@AphimaYT]

Yea. It's not just about the memories he will lose at this point. It's the amount of "content" and "future content" that he would had lost. Because he would need to invest time he had originally spent laying the ground work towards what he is doing now, for the second time. (the efficient and time consuming farms, gadgets, machineries, etcs would be lost too. Not to mention all the nether slabbing)

[@argeniside1015]

I agree. I think at some point in the next couple years he will have to restart due to all the changes Minecraft had had done to it but until then.... He has a lot of projects he is still working on and he still has this momentum with this world that if he were to make a new one would completely kill it

[@TheMcLufus]

speaking of the implementation of sculk sensors: filtering for different triggers depending on the block they get placed on; similar to note blocks (for example, filtering aggressive mobs sounds when placed on bone blocks or something along those lines)

[@traditonalbutt701]

Decent idea, but it would require people to keep referring to the wiki every time they want to filter noises.

[@The3gg]

I was thinking this as he was talking about it. It could get tricky if you want specific mob noises though. Like a hay bale for passives but how do you specify a pig vs a horse...?

[@dyllanusher1379]

Love the ideas on the new redstone block, what about using a record recorder to record your records as a sort of filter?! :D

[@dakzevon1311]

You should watch simplysarc’s video about it. He says it would have so many uses if it wasn’t just an analog decoder, but that concept could be furthered, and you could “feed” a skulk sensor. It’s then tied to the next sound it hears, and only reacts to it. This includes eating, witch sounds, tnt blasts, and so many more. You can add more sounds onto what it hears. It’d be very simple, but make redstone so much better

Hey, Etho have you thought of switching back to normal terrain generation with the new mountains instead of keeping the amplified terrain?

[@yunashadow]

Would also be better to put the new mega project on hold and do it in the new mountains/caverns instead of an area that looks almost exactly like the actual amplified base... right now there is only one thing to rebuild, there are plenty of other projects around to last us until then such as the bastion base... especially if he un-abandons at least one of the other unfinished bases... the stronghold base, the amplified base, the slab city, the micro base he can't find, the underwater base...

[@yunashadow]

And once he has at least one suitable mountain loaded he can switch back to amplified if he wants, I personally think we have seen enough of amplified... would prefer going back to basic generation but we could explore some terrain in other generation types too...

Also not to mention his awesome "monologue" over the building montage. Very awesome Etho, love your videos more and more every episode!

[@tryhardnoob2508]

The reason your treefarm is weird like that is because saplings now prevent trees from growing (as if there is a dirt block next to it). but only if the sapling is on either the north or west side of the tree. When you grow the other tree, the sapling changes into a log. Logs do not prevent the tree from growing.

[@samc9516]

The thing is Etho is right, they have to make it useful, functional, reliable. If any stray sound can trigger it then they'll be too delicate for any practical use. I imagine they're already thinking along these line which is why they have the wool mechanic idea already to block certain directions, but it's not flawless

ive been absent for awhile but ive been watching your videos for 9 years, i remember as a kid getting grounded for a week but still allowed to watch tv on my xbox 360 so i binged every video on ur channel from the start. i find my self again now in my early 20's binge watching from this video "553" all the way to 564! over a year of content. i hope you;ve been well etho your videos showed me a different way of learning, especially with the addition of redstone.

Etho! You are a genius! You never cease to amaze me. You are by far the most unique Minecraft player.

[@TackerTacker]

I like the idea with the sculk sensor filters, I think a good way to do it would be to right click them to set them into listening mode like you said, and in that mode they will mimic the sound they hear, maybe in a bit of a distorted way, similar to how the parrots mimic sounds of hostile mobs around them. It will remember the sound once you've logged it in, and if you mine the block and place it back down it plays the sound again.

Hey Etho. Love the series. Have been watching forever and just wanted to say thankyou for keeping me entertained

[@ImTheScatman009]

Hey Etho! I absolutely love your Lets Play series! Even after 10 years of watching you, with me well into my mid 20’s, you have always found a way to keep me entertained. I’ve always enjoyed watching you play Minecraft and I always will, but I’m curious as to why you haven’t uploaded any more of your ARK Survival series. I remember a while back you were taking about resuming that series because of your new and improved PC, and it seemed like you still had an interest in playing it. But if that’s not the case anymore I completely understand. I can’t really complain, after all you have been bringing joy to my life for over a decade and that’s something I will forever cherish. Thank you for all you have done for my life, as well as many others I’m sure. Keep up the great work! We love you Etho!!!

[@Karkjo]

Since striders have a collision box like shulkers or boats that you can walk on you could make a bridge somewhere using them, would be fun. Also, yes this glitch happened to almost everyone in the snapshots but I never experienced it after the first full release. Kinda sad they fixed it since you could also use it to afk travel above build limit in the overworld.

[@shipwreck9146]

For the kelp farm: The mural is divided into 3 sections, so I think it'd work if you used pillars to divide the kelp farm into 3 sections. That would probably be enough detail. I think the plainness of the kelp farm contrasts well with the high detail of the mural. So lower detail is better for the kelp farm. Love the video :) Edit: for the next 8 years, people will be using the "Etho Sculk Clock" Edit2: Love the sculk sensor idea. You could think of it as if you're training the Sculk to respond to a specific sound. So, it would hear the sound and react to it, and then you could feed it as a reward. (Classical Conditioning)

[@unknwnn7673]

to make the kelp farm look less plain, it might be cool to have some sort of mural/design with sea lanterns on the back wall

Hi Etho, I have had the raining underground problem in my single player world before. the world is about 4 years old. After one update, I am not sure which, whenever it would rain the rain would fall underground and through the roof, it made the whole house seem damp and cold, I hated it. O also noticed that it was only in certain areas around my base and that the same areas where not showing up on maps, the map would just show a gray area like flat stone. I was able to fix both issues by building a one block thick roof over the entire effected area at a high altitude, then breaking the roof again, as I built and broke the areas they showed up on the map again and it no longer rained underground on that blocks coordinate. It was a labour intensive course of action but solved the problem and now my base feels dry and comfortable again so it was definitely worth it. It could be worth a test for you.

i know noone ever complains about it but seeing you fix a small thing like those fishing shack toches and adding that extra polish to the build and the experience of the entire world youre playing in is one of my favorite things about minecraft and why I love this LP. This episode was incredibly satisfying. Keep it up Etho!

[@Ethereal_Phoenix_]

Hey Etho, I have a few thoughts with regards to cave update. First off it might make sense to do something similar to what you did with the previous generation change where you delete the parts of the world that you haven't built in at all so you have easier access to the new stuff. Another thing with the skulk sensor filter idea, I think they could do something similar to how noteblocks work where different blocks under them cause different filters this could act partly as a limitation since they may just add sound categories rather than every individual sound. Regardless I'm excited to see what you do with the new stuff when it comes out. PS. The kelp farm wall definitly needs some adjustments perhaps a pattern of some sort in the glass itself?

[@PierreMiniggio]

I haven't watched Etho in a few years, but coming back to this video, I see the wither skeleton farm that I remember perfectly, because it wasn't build so long before I stoped watching :D

[@Lime12387]

I see Etho video, I click. Life is simple.

[@TheGravy5]

What about the snacks though?

[@ElvargsBane]

For the Skulk sensor filter, another idea would be similar to Noteblocks: The skulk could filter different sounds depending on the block that it is on.

[@cwmd7651]

I have a guess about the strider glitch. It's possible that because your world is so old, the generation changed so much and maybe the striders are somehow using blocks that would have been there if they were generated in 1.16. That one guy who was slowly going up looked like what happens when they enter one of the random lavafalls, they just start swimming up. This might also explain why you can see rain underground, the rain thinks that there aren't blocks above you, so it renders itself. I might be wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of. Keep up the great work! Edit: After watching more of your experimentation, I don't really know what's going on. One guy hit the ground and took fall damage but was still floaty, which makes no sense. It could be something with their gravity being weird when they leave lava, as they float, but it's just so strange.

[@jeffwillsea6757]

The floaty thing has to do with the fact that those striders were spawned in a snapshot where gravity wasn't working properly for them. If he goes to new chunks and get "fresh" striders, they will behave properly.

[@DaytheHomie]

Hey Etho, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and what you do man. I started watching you back when I was about 15, and you really helped me through some heavy stuff over the years. I'll spare you all the details but, for a depressed kid with no friends or family, you really did get me through some of those days. I'd come home and see you posted a new video on the Mindcrack server or, watching you play Feed the Beast, Fly Boys, everything. And your videos would always find a way to make me smile. I'm 21 now, and I don't really have time to watch much KZbin anymore but, I hope you know how much you mean to your fans dude. Keep doing what you're doing man. Seriously, thank you.

[@Chomuggaacapri]

When I place walls of blocks I use the "stand on top and block below you" method, not because I actually prefer it, but because it lets you place a whole strip without changing what you're doing. You can just hold down shift+w+right click and the wall building may as well be automated. It helps that I tend to watch/listen to things in the background, so the game being on a loop for a couple minutes isnt a big deal for me. I imagine if you're playing the game without a time filler, the more active approach is probably preferred.

[@Kasfas]

Hey Etho, i dont know if its common knowledge or not but ive been farming wither roses for a while manually and i’ve found one of the best ways to get several stacks of roses quickly. So you need to grab a bunch of chicken eggs in shulkers, spam them into a small box, with a wither built inside and then finish the wither. His spawning explosion kills all the chickens and each of them spawn a rose. Then you can bait the wither away from the loot with another chicken and collect the roses. Doing this with about 3 shulkers of eggs nets around 3-4 stacks of roses. This is sure not a good wither rose farm but I’ve found its pretty good to get enough roses. Anyway i hope this is helpful!
