I just thought about when he used to eat chocolate into the mic and drink coffee too. He really was one of the first 😂

I’ll still go back and rewatch that entire series

[@Starfloofle]

I really, really hope Etho does another Terraria series; when 1.4.4/1.5 comes out would honestly be a perfect time for it. I really want to see him either with a buddy like Zisteau or even alone (because solo terraria has quite a different vibe to it) just roll through a series again and explore the cool new stuff that's been added/going to be added. The changes they're making/made to swords, to summons, (whips are AWESOME) the general balance changes and plentiful weapon glow-ups, the whole pylons system, the new bosses 1.4 added, and so on... The fact you can get both crimson and corruption in one world now with the graveyard dryad trick is surprisingly big, too. Heck, maybe he could play on one of the goofy secret seeds that's been released to change things up a bit if it still feels too familiar. I know his non-minecraft content doesn't usually do all that well and that's a sad truth of youtube, but I still hope for it either way, I really enjoyed how when he and Zisteau played together they didn't just boss-rush the game, they organically played through stuff but also actually *built* nice things and made their world feel familiar by doing so.

I feel like adding some orange stained glass to the honey could make it look even better. Maybe make it look more like a liquid? I'm not sure if that would work tho.

[@Slingming]

That with honey underneath would give it some depth which could look cool.

[@EmilZulian1997]

[@ryanfalcigno323]

Yea and add more contrast between the honey and the honey comb

[@RyanEglitis]

One cool honey effect is to put bee hives full of honey in the ceiling, and then it will drip honey particles all the way down. You could also try punching out some of the glow berries behind Plantera to help it stand out more aginst the background - the vines alone don't give off light.

[@LethalLuggage]

That would be an ongoing effort. All the vines regrow berries. If he's there long enough every vine block will be a berry

[@RyanEglitis]

@@LethalLuggage Only the tip of the growing vine actually grows glow-berries, and that can be sheared to stop growth if it's something you're worried about.

[@LethalLuggage]

@@RyanEglitis it's very possible that the pack I played on had mods that altered this, but I had a lush cave on direwolf20's most recent pack and I literally had a room that was devoted to growing glowberries (I wanted to landscape the lush cave and use glow sacks as light sources), they grew on every vine.

Nothing compares to the excitement of getting an Etho notification. It's like a surprise birthday but better.

[@wizardom]

20:52 for smoother transitions between block types, it's helpful to either: A) sprinkle in random block types, such as a random path block in sand, and a random sand block in path region, OR B) have streaks of block types that "intrude" into the other type, such as a row of sand into path/dirt (as if sand was blown over by the wind) Other block types that could be used in this transition is logs: perhaps birch (sand), oak (path), and spruce (coarse dirt).

20:55, to blend sand and dirt, i would always use the inside of mushroom blocks. but i’m also curious to see if packed mud will make a good transition now that we have that

[@jessistired]

Some idea for a grass to sand gradient: Let the grass bleed over to the desert, so it can look like it's drying out and dying. Coarse dirt, regular dirt (as long as it's protected from the grass), brown concrete powder, brown mushroom blocks and the 'under' texture of mushroom blocks is what I like to use for a gradient

[@jwkerr007]

I like the idea of putting a river in between them as blue goes with both colors pretty well.

[@Aesthics]

Looks like the Warden grabbed a snack for the episode...too bad the snack was Etho

[@TheTamally]

When you have two drastically different biomes meeting, I think the best way to naturally separate them is using a path/road! Instead of trying to blend the sand into the grass, try and expand the pathway network even if the roads don't go anywhere yet!

[@DanSoloha]

Good roads can really just make any world look better, tbh

[@dariaemagan5812]

cool Idea actually

[@BlackJar72]

When I have space I just extend the grass into the desert, so that I get some of the yellow grass before the sand starts.

[@StarNanny]

Ooo….I like that frog light farm! Sand transition to grass: random “clumps” of tall grass a few blocks out from where you want the grass area to be, smaller clumps farther away. The grassy area needs to be a little “scruffy”, not “mown”. See images of Assateague Island campground.

[@nickricca3505]

You can put some grass within the desert so it’s brown and matches in color too! Posted my own comment like this and yours compliments my idea nicely

[@jasonreed7522]

I wonder if some scattered glow lichen on the sand would contribute as a standin for low plants like moss or succulents. (I'm used to wet NY sand/grass transitions where thin moss is amoung the first colonizers but obviously Minecraft moss doesn't fit the bill for the look at all)

[@jeeBisOkay]

@@jasonreed7522 it also probably looks like sparse grass trying to grow out of the sand which I've seen myself

[@FrigidX]

For the transition, I found that dithering the grass/dirt/ coarse dirt into the sand was best, but also adding some dry bushes, flowers and more plantlife to the transition zone helped sell it. maybe 7-10 blocks deep

[@benbisaillon7488]

[@leofeldman2899]

My same story today

[@АндрійМихайленко-п9х]

Hey Etho! The sandy city really needs more desert around it, because it seems out of place. You should expand the biome and make it look a bit more natural on all sides. For the transition you might want to just mix grass and sand, make it look like they blend into each other. Huge rocks or dried trees will also make the transition smoother.

[@Odima16]

I really appreciate the insight into the voice thing. I've thought a lot about my own voice and how to make it sound better while also sounding personal and genuine. One of my pet peeves is when voices sound too "professional" because they come off as cold and lifeless, but some of that is probably necessary in order to maintain a good sense of flow and to be easy to understand.

[@AnotherDuck]

The important part is showing that you like what you're doing. Trying to sound "professional" usually goes against that.

[@Moingboy]

Hey Etho, Those terraria screenshots sure did stir up some nostalgia! I know it has been asked before, but would you consider a new terraria let's play? I think that the upcoming mod called Starlight River looks like something that would make the game feel fresh and new! It also is something that you could be on top of right when it comes out so it doesn't feel like it's been done by too many others to be worthwhile.

[@ethicc168]

i don't know if that can be a possibility, unfortunately. Ethos comments on the Terraria videos were just people telling him what to do. As time went on, it became more and more harsh to the point where he had to respond to some of them. He doesn't really seem like he was too keen on continuing another play through.

I'd say for the flying turtles- all of the above. slimeblock launchers for up & sideways dropping them with horizontal momentum (from a slime block for example) maybe also dropping them with slow fall potions. it would be best if they come from many different angles and go in different directions, as they always do that in terraria. you never know where one will come from

Blocks that 'interrupt' the border will make it look less unnatural - like large trees and rocky formations,. Also, in real life sand spreads through wind (so you can get some beautiful windswept streaks) so you could implement that for a 'less clean/more natural' edge of the desert.

I have synesthesia and that makes me love Etho's voice even more than I would otherwise. It's so vivid and colorful and changes in color a lot, it has layers to those colors and they twirl and shift and change and Etho is really the only person ever triggering any sort of audio-based synesthesia for me. It makes it so easy to visualise what he's describing in bright vivid colors and it's just such a nice experience

[@redfeatheredreptile]

I dont have synesthesia but I feel the same way about his voice, its just very cozy and comforting.

[@RichardsNickname]

You have to combine the course dirt with other things like patches of dirt sand grass, rare gravel patch, pits, tall grass, tiny roadside hills and paths that connect to an infrastructure. Random path blocks out in the middle of nowhere don't make sense since they are trodden grass and implies that something often tramples the grass in the area and disallows healthy growth

[@haph2087]

Hey Etho! About the lag concerns of your bee farm: You mentioned that lighting updates are particularly laggy. Light updates have been multithreaded for a long time, and you can light up the area with normal torches/glowstone/whatever to make that a non-issue. It used to be a problem when it was on the main thread, and especially with slimestone where skylight is expensive, but as long as you light up around your redstone torches, that should be a non-issue. That doesn't mean torches are great, they are hard to use with rails/observers (cause they need a longer pulse), so often they are avoided because of dust, but repeaters and torches shouldn't be a lag problem. I've also heard that pistons (can) be laggy when there is a very large number of tile entitites (cause moving blocks are a tile entity, the game keeps a list of tile entities, and changing that list is expensive when it’s long). I would reccomend trying out mixing noteblocks into your observer chains to make them less laggy, cause half the observers means half the block updates, but really the main lag source here is going to be the hoppers, droppers, and dispensers, and all else will be negligible. Anyways, trying to lag optimize things can be a fun exercise when scaling up builds (I've done that a lot), but I don't think it's necessary in the context of honey farms, unless you want chests of shulkers of honey blocks for fun (which, while an acceptable goal, I don't think that's your goal) *TL:DR;* Torches not bad, pistons complicated, observer + noteblock > observer, doesn't matter anyway cause tile entities.

Last episode had some comments on having cold opens again, very nice to see Etho following up with that idea again.

[@warbirb505]

some structures or "natural" formations will help transition between desert and grass. I love building in desert cause I'm a Dune nerd, so I'll often add water streams, some acacia trees, and small gardens or farms, to create a sort of natural oasis look. Nothin big, just enough to stand out on it's own and hide the biome transition. Small structures to give life to the outer walls like maybe a wagon caravan with tents underneath ancient archaeology, will hide the grass to sand transition, too.

[@Wjanabdjd138]

[@matiastripaldi406]

Etho I'm pretty sure you don't need to lock the hoppers at all, since they don't do their laggy checking when there's a block with an inventory above them (the beehive in this case). This is why big builds often have a line of composters or furnaces above hopper lines :)

[@mdccxxvii]

I don't think beehives are considered a block with an inventory. If they were, the hoppers wouldn't be able to pick up the bottles.

Two feelings from this episode: 1. the fact that Etho is making this really shows how much terraria means to him. which is cool because we usually just hear him talk about minecraft. But it's cool he's dedicating his time and creativity for this design. 2. crazy nostalgia hearing him talk about terraria. that was years ago. so much has changed since he made that series. and also makes me think of Zisteau a lot. I remember the final episode they turned on each other and fought 😂. thanks for the awesome memories Etho.

To transition from the sand to the grass, you could build a low stone wall.

[@barbarabelmar3819]

You make me smile. I love your story about how you progressed thru the years on youtube. keep it up

[@Morningblossom]

The plantera looks amazing! And I like the honey area too, though I think the honey comb blocks make it look very busy, maybe adding in a plain block like yellow terracotta or concrete here and there would help it out.

[@Catswaga]

I started watching with Mindcrack s3 and the differance that the multiplayer interactions brought really did help change monotone Etho. Still miss the asmr days.

[@mmorgnn]

the terraria jungle idea is so freakin cool. launching the turtles seems most true to terraria lol

[@blarblablarblar]

youtuber fears: 1. having someone come into their room to watch them talking to themselves 2. being asked what they do for a living

[@mysticlatis6796]

That ASMR joke wooshed right over me. I went like "oh really?? Never seen those videos!". You caught me, Master.

[@MidnightBlade22]

For harsh transitions like the sand to grass there's a few options. I recommend some kind of pathway or stone retaining wall that separates the sand from the grass.

[@justinblain8097]

Loved the cold open!

[@zadeviggers]

For the heart lanterns, maybe you could use the spore blossom? They won't look too good up close, but they'll be much more visible from the path than the current ones.

[@linamyr6075]

Love the honey in the cave! Running lava and dripping lava also looks like honey, could be cool to use

[@lolmandrow]

The honey in the cave is going to look so awesome. Love when you do pixel art and references to other games. I would love to see a short Terraria series when you have time to do something like starting a new series

[@henrywalton9449]

This Minecraft series will be remembered as a true classic of Minecraft content

[@Outer7Elements]

Your process of building a terraria boss is exactly how I feel when playing terraria.

[@DementedMK]

This series brings me so much joy

[@chocolateorange]

Etho, you should make the Amethyst farm into an underground hallow biome! It'd give the area a different colour and feel

[@Starfloofle]

That's a *fantastic* idea. It even makes sense by game logic; a well-known strategy is to deliberately spread the hallow by your jungle to protect it, since the hallow will happily coexist with its jungle grass blocks, and will blockade the world evils from being able to creep in and destroy it

[@HalfBoyHalfGod]

The honey river looks absolutely sick!

[@BRORIGIN]

Would be a cool project/challenge to have the turtles slow-fall from the ceiling and levitate back up from a shulker projectile!

[@Cairo_666]

God i love Ethos videos. I hope he's still making videos when i dusty and old.

[@Jet-Pack]

transition from grass to sand: try patches of both and sprinkling in some block to remove the hard edge and to mix them together
