Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 584: Endless Redstone Ocean

I've been slowly grinding out this project for over a month! Today we finish gathering up the supplies and get working on the monotonous innards of our new Endless Storage room idea. As we build, I ramble on about auto-crafting coming to Minecraft.

If you see this Etho, you'll be pleased to know that development of Thaumcraft 7 is going quite well, and it'll probably release for minecraft 1.21. Seems to be leaning more towards Thaumcraft 4 in its systems, but lots of unique stuff too.

[@Kevin-hx2ky]

Let's hope it won't have to update the second it releases. I feel like Minecraft versions have been updated too often (compared to its first heyday of ~1.4-1.7) that modders just don't get enough time to code and create before another sea change happens and they lose a bit more of their soul

[@melaniep.]

I used to, and sometimes still do lol, follow redstone builds block by block. One of the most enjoyable things is when I actually understand what's happening and how. To the point where I told myself a little while ago, "hmm I'm going to make my own (insert farm here)" so much trial and error but omg when it works WOW that triumphant feeling! This is in response to your conversation about the auto crafters. 😊

[@yousawnothin]

He use to be a little less communicative a while back, one time he went on like a 3 month hiatus from the LP world with no elaboration and uploaded a new video like nothing ever happened lmao and then he revealed that he was having less fun with the game around that time

[@FreyaEden333]

​@yousawnothing7220 wasn't that when his dad passed from cancer. Very challenging time for him, taking on that role of supporting his mum and taking over dad's business. Especially while his brothers where too far away to help.

[@yousawnothin]

@@FreyaEden333 No, I’m talking about another time. I’m pretty sure it started when he made the wither fly challenge episode and then the gaps in between episode just became longer and longer. This is around the time the game was still stuck on 1.8 for like 2 years and he was constantly thinking of new video ideas for that version lol

[@stephengower1849]

This might be one of the best etho lp episodes of all time, at least in context. He covered a CRAZY amount of work and playtime, while still being technical and creative in his unique way. He kept it super entertaining too. There's definitely something super impressive and satisfying about etho putting this kind of video out right now. With decked out, secret life AND vault hunters going on he has to have been SWAMPED, but he's still finding time to do what he loves. It also feels like a great triumphant return (and even a step up) with his high labor projects after the outside life trouble he encountered earlier this year. Thanks for this great video etho! It's always a huge pleasure not only to watch you but to see you enjoy playing and working!

[@Natibe_]

It’s a great video but I hope it doesn’t set a standard for him. The ‘small’ scale stuff he does is really entertaining as well, and so is the little conversations he has while he does them. Condensing all that down this much all the time would really lower his output and it’s not really worth the potential of a slight increase in quality. At most I’d say one of these big vids interspersed with ten or more smaller project vids to get variety would be ideal. This should be a special thing, not a standard.

[@CanesCap]

I like how the beginning of the episode really shows how much Etho’s editing style has changed over time. It’s the perfect amount between the near-raw videos we used to get and the over-the-top editing some other creators do. It’s just the perfect amount to give us context into what he’s doing

[@cherrydragon3120]

I think as always it depends how you use it. Smaller amounts of stuff can be done manualy. LARGE projects could deffinetly use the autocrafter. And i am very sure redstoners will do some WONDERFULL things with it.

It sounds like you're kinda WHELMED right now etho. As many others, I too enjoy the serious onslaught of etho-content pouring into my feed, but do take care not to overdo it. As long as you're enjoying all that you do we're more than happy for you, but don't feel pressured to "keep to your schedule" as you mentioned in this video. Take care, much love :)

[@wibiz9657]

11:05 There's actually a reliable way to get blocks like these back, 100% of the time. All you need to do is have an opaque block in your off hand and place it where the block you want to get back is as soon as you remove it. It glitches out and jumps to the surface because of the blocks' tendency to jump up instead of down when broken, so all you're doing is removing their capability to fall down.

[@ender0998]

A more clunky way is to place a non full block (preferably a trapdoor) adjacent to the shulker box, then break the box.

[@frostbaka]

alternatively, you can place a trapdoor on the bottom side of the block you're attempting to break, then place another trapdoor above the first one. open the top one, stand in it, and close it again. you'll be forced into a crawl spot, where you can easily mine the block and grab it before it falls just by being in the crawl space. i like your method though! I'll have to try it sometime

[@gregb7881]

...or just stand on the shulker then mine it. You'll fall into the shulker item and then are free to fly back up.

[@Limbless]

or just open the shulker and move the items hahaha

[@wibiz9657]

@@gregb7881 This wont work reliably. Items have frames where they can't be picked up, so if you were just standing on it you would actually fall faster than you can pick it up, and due to the random direction the shulker box shoots when broken it causes it to start falling at a different time each time. The way to make this reliable is to jump the second the shulker box is broken so you're bound to fall on it and pick it up.

[@cartoonseany]

You know it’s gonna be a good episode when Etho starts it off with an insane build that no-one else would be crazy enough to think of

Decided to look back to the very first episodes you uploaded and gained so many memories again. Thank you for being you, and I hope you continue being happy and making others happy and thank you again

[@fredrikgit]

0:42 I love the idea of using a map as a frame for the picture! Also, Tip for you Etho: If you hold the map or a written book in front of blue concrete, you can use an ultra key filter to cut away the blue color and get an edge that follows the shape of the map. I did it on a book in Premiere, and it worked well. I don’t know how it’s done in Resolve though

Ergo thank for doing the montage to replace the mining off camera meme. I love to feel like we are going on the journey with you to feel equally involved in on your projects. It feels like better storytelling than summarizing off camera work. Thanks again for the great content

[@frostbaka]

I liked your point on individuality while discussing the autocrafter. I think there's a lot of truth in what you had to say concerning the uniqueness that can be achieved through any Minecraft player's need for something that the autocrafter can help with. One of the reasons I'm inspired by your work, Etho, is because the projects you make are the best for your own needs. Innovation and uniqueness is what makes things interesting, not simply having the same project be block for block as others. I've learned that it does me much better to create my own solutions for things I want to solve in the game, such as specific resource farms. Not only is making your own design for a farm more satisfying, it creates a story around everything you build. It's a lesson many of us should have learned a long time ago, for instance the first time we turned cheats on in a video game to find that the game was no longer satisfying when it wasn't a challenge anymore. I can only imagine that your approach of uniqueness to the things you do in Minecraft are the only reason it's remained your favorite game, and a game you can still play after more than 13 years. I think you can help players use the autocrafter to suit their individuality by building some integrated into various projects across the spectrum of Minecraft activities. I think the trick will be to create the automatic resource farms needed for the item being crafted at the build location, or at least being able to automatically transport the items needed from a loaded farm, which will certainly a tall challenge. Sure, autocrafters will be great to put into farms to compact resources down into more manageable loads, like attaching one to an iron farm so that you can store iron blocks instead of ingots. But I think the real goal here is to be able to use the farm to support a build that's right there, rather than using an autocrafter elsewhere and having to manually stock its input with resources from a farm that's built somewhere else. At that point, the autocrafter adds little value as it's still necessary to spend time stocking, crafting the resources manually and simply stocked the crafted item is simpler. What I'm visualizing is something like an autocrafter making and dispensing items automatically when a player enters a build. For instance, delivering a stack of fireworks to the player at the entrance of an elytra flight course, a stone sword and iron armor inside a PvP arena, or a minecart track that produces its own minecarts. Unfortunately, since a lot of items can only be farmed in certain places, it's going to be unrealistic to assume many people will try something like it, especially with complex recipes that require some mob or block drops. So I guess the key will be to start small and expand once we've learned what we want. Ultimately, I think this could lead to to a new way of playing survival--rather than build one large resource farm, such as bamboo, that serves the entire world's needs; it will be a lot more fluid to build several bamboo farms that supply wood to autocrafters in different areas for various projects. It will surely be more work, but cutting down on transportation time will be a huge bonus and something that I think may help the constant inventory problems. Because of this, depending on a large central storage system may not be as needed. Storage is only a means of holding onto items for further use, potentially at a different location. If every project site supplies its own materials needed to operate, storage won't be required anymore. This is how I see autocrafters creating individuality in worlds.

Hey Etho ! just a little something for you to think about, I previously tried to have Soul soil as the floor of my storage room as well and one thing I didnt quite think about was that it uses SO MUCH durability on the boots, I actually broke multiple pairs of nice boots without realizing it before I decided to remove the soul soil floor. I tend to run around my storage room a lot just thinking about what materials to use sometimes, and I would just constantly be breaking my boots.

@11:05 Etho, I’ve found that the best way to get blocks placed like this back is breaking it with main hand and placing another block with off-hand in the same place immediately after. The new block collision USUALLY pushes the newly broken item entity upward, making a much lower risk of losing it.

[@zz5782]

When I played Minecraft multiplayer, I always would build a cake factory with auto farms for all ingredients. I took a bit of time in creative and built a (almost, milk is the only one unable to be automated) fully automated cake and pumpkin pie factory. It was a bit tricky, because for reasons I had to do it in Bedrock Edition, and in there, hoppers are kind of random, so I had to wire a system to control the timing of the hoppers leading to the crafter.

Y'know, Etho, it's been a whole lotta fun watching you get out of your comfort zone with all the side series you've been doing. DO2 (Iyes, I am separating that out from HC haha)/SL/VH, but let me tell you - there's *nothing* like watching you thrive in your element - vanilla redstone, in your vanilla LP world, where you have the skill & ability to lower the entrance level requirements for everyone alike to be able to understand and appreciate redstone. I felt that when you said you were happy that the Autocrafter may get more non-redstone players into redstone (because it will catalyze creativity rather than block by block tutorials which is lowers creativity in both builders and redstoners, as you illustrated). That's how I feel with the Vault Hunters modpack, to be honest. I have been perfectly content to play vanilla for myself after all these years and watch others, especially you, of course, tackle grindy modpacks I'd never take on myself. But with Iskall's approach to creating a modpack with VH, he has made modded VERY accessible to new players, especially with locking big mods behind research/expertise points. VH is the *only* modpack I have ever downloaded and played. And with the continual updates/patches, it has gotten so much better from the first edition to the 3rd edition and even update 10 of the 3rd edition to now is its peak so far. Thank you for explaining what happened with your modded series. It makes absolute sense that you've lost interest; you shouldn't feel bad about that. I still loved those episodes, you created something special. :)

It started with the written books added in post, now we have the "custom maps" pictures added in post. Love it!

[@Chaddilaculus]

Just when I think it couldn’t get any wilder this happens! What a grind!

11:54 that huge end island kind of looks like a cruise ship if you use your imagination.

[@interesting9688]

a very round cruise ship

LOVE THE EDITING!!!

[@sageX735]

THANK YOU ETHO! TRULY APPRECIATE THIS AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CRAFT.

[@Great0User0Name]

Loved the montage of the gathering and crafting,thanks

[@themalmadius]

Hey Etho, I bet you must be really excited to play around with the automatic crafter. I’m just counting the days until you make an automatic dispenser farm, maybe you could connect it to that one of the skeleton spawners. Or you could build it in ‘the complex.’ Keep up the great work!

[@scottfloyd]

Always good to see your username pop up. Hope you're having a great day Etho, keep up the good work.

[@ixaeon]

Always great to see your videos. You put in so much work to all of them. It's amazing that you can keep up with all the series' you're in! Thanks for what you do :)

[@Andypandee]

I was waiting for this upload! Lots of love Etho, thanks for all the videos!

[@upthedubsguy]

That's a great idea, Etho, to automatically collect and craft with that ticket in the 10th slot. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action! :- )

FINALLY A LET'S PLAY EPISODE

[@Doinesz]

Exactly this!

[@icyproblem]

A month in the making too

[@Drudrutt]

Just can't get enough of your content. Keep up the great work. Loved the video!

[@jasonknight6390]

Seeing what it takes to build this stuff makes you reevaluate the way you see these gamers. And hearing Etho’s perspective on how the autocrafter will impact Minecraft shows how much depth there really is to being a gamer. I think there are a lot of KZbinrs just playing games, but there are others who are thinking about gaming in a much more in depth way, namely Etho. I suppose that’s the case in most careers, there are those who are very engaged and those that are just getting a paycheck. Etho, I appreciate the insightful perspective.

[@jasonknight6390]

Nice try EthosLAD lol

I'm a super bad redstoner. But I started to design my basic redstone farms myself recently (iron farm, mud farm, ...) and that way it's finally enjoyable to me. It's spaghetti redstone, but who cares. It's a game.

[@yarotaro7258]

I see Redstone, its going to be a good vid :)

[@kaliphoeni]

i loved the autocrafter rambling! always interesting to hear different thoughts and perspectives on updates/new blocks etc. loved the episode as always etho :D

[@vphxn]

the montages were great this episode. the way you figure out a rhythm for placing blocks efficiently is soo satisfying and i really enjoyed your thoughts on the crafter! cannot wait to see what you do with it and looking forward to the complete storage system! also you have been so busy with series and episodes, it's crazy!!!!!! thank you for all the content

[@joffee]

Could you show your player statistics in an upcoming episode? Would also be interesting to hear how big the current file size of the let’s play world is.

[@dijawez]

Regarding your thoughts on modded minecraft, I think a lot of progression / late-game issues you bring up are solved by playing a modpack! I know you started Enigmatica 2 Expert with Iskall, and this is indeed a good pack, but one I would recommend you look into is Divine Journey 2. It is a very long and difficult pack, but it is very polished and has received many balance / quality of life updates. I think you could really enjoy it (and so would we by watching you haha)!

[@seshpenguin]

Adding on to that, doing modpacks multiplayer I think works really well too (like the SkyFactory series with pause and beef), since in a lot of cases modpacks are closer adventure maps in that they aren't necessarily going to be a long lived series like the LP, but rather something you embark on and enjoy, and then conclude until the next wave of mods and packs come out.

[@derekhearst]

Fantastic episode etho! The timelapse was great

[@Screeb7165]

Etho, I've been working on a crafter network lately, and I started with the same hopper minecart idea you presented. It runs into a problem where, if the recipe contains multiple of a single item, those items will stack together in the hopper cart rather than filling separate spaces. I.E when you craft a piston, instead of slots 1-3 having planks, 4 having cobble, 5 having iron, 6-7 having cobble, 8 having redstone, 9 having cobble, you'll have slot 1 with 3 planks, slot 2 with 4 cobble, slot 3 with iron, slot 4 with redstone. My solution was to use SethBling's infinite density storage room (based on Minecart chests) to serve as a database of recipes, unpack the recipe from the cart, have the system dispense those items, repack the cart, and return it to storage. It's not a perfect solution, but it does the job.
