This video was cast into my mind almost 8 years ago. Today i have decided to take a trip down memory lane to find these gems. Thank you for the childhood memories Etho

[@krabzmorningstar6240]

same! I remember me in 2nd grade watching ethos everyday when I came home from school. I loved having this childhood.

[@upside_you_mop]

Nice pin

[@upside_you_mop]

Pun

[@SomeNiceMovies]

27:38 Two stone for one button? Well, glad they changed that recipe, haha :)

[@NamelessOden]

i was just clearing out my childhood desk and found a post it note that said “Etho Minecraft Ep 208 Emerald City” and i had no idea what it meant, i searched it in to youtube and here i am, lets see if any nostalgia hits me 😂

[@MegaMementoMori]

I think that Etho did not kill the pigman. When he was shot, he flew backwards, straight into the portal. There were no XP or drops... the pigman slew Etho, laughed about it and survived. I bet that he is considered the greatest hero in pigmen legends of this world.

[@MEEK8228]

take me down to the emerald city where the grass is dark green and the villagers aren't breeding IN THEIR NEW HOME!

[@StrangePan]

I'll bet a new and improved Emerald City would kick butt with 1.16 villager AI and Etho's new building talents.

[@rekr6381]

came from the world tour, I remember watching this! :o

[@nighthawklabs2352]

Me too lol

[@elgapa1172]

that world tour was already 3 years ago? ;--;

[@WhirlwindMonk]

Excellent video, Etho, as always. I love the room behind the creeper face, and the on-off switch for the portal is very cool. Looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with in the next episode!

[@harrisonmccollum]

Did any1 see the Zombie Pigman bob his head up and down when he killed Etho?!

[@bangbangliu2146]

+Harrison McCollum lol i saw it

[@shmoo_]

i love how the pigman just laughs at Ethos death Lol

[@DanielA-yg3un]

Oh my god ;D I don't know what Etho was thinking when he built those houses. They're so bad!

[@TizonaAmanthia]

with all those iron bars, It kinda feels more like a prison cell. silly Etho. I wonder what he thinks of them now.

[@skriisi]

I'm ruining the joke here but if you've seen the tv series Oz this makes sense

[@georgeofhamilton]

Emerald City had a really interesting stony, utilitarian style. It’s a shame it got abandoned.

[@Angloth]

Emerald City! From OZ: Life Behind The Walls!

[@LnyMts]

Hey Etho! I was thinking about your Emerald City theme. It's really awesome! Keep it that way! :) It'd be cool if you made like "veins" or something like that, just to put different ores into your city. Like diamond blocks in the middle or something like that, or hanging from the ceiling, just like gold blocks etc. Would be cool :)

[@L33tRose]

Sandstone does not go great with stone brick : P

[@quickstep2408]

the houses and the portal look like 80's tracksuits. funkaay! didn't know that there were ballistics in minecraft, cool

[@ChristianAverage]

RIP Emerald city

[@Kristik]

rest in peperoni

[@EdgarFroes]

Etho, i think your sound's been some kind messed recently, with a bit of saturation and clipping. Cheers.

[@jimmybobhead44]

Those houses are god awful xD. I can see why he abandoned the project

[@AdmiralRedstone]

I think houses built into the walls with hanging balconies would look very cool in the Emerald City!

[@TheBeast110397]

I am completely mindblown, on how you know the redstone mechanics so well!

[@Sinstrite]

Etho, for the style you're currently going on with for your Emerald City, you should consider having to clear out the cavern a bit more and add a castle in the middle-back. Inside the castle you could have it built such as a real one with a training room for the villagers (mobs, etc) as well as a potion making factory and an enchantment room inside. A library and other things you would see in castles could be added. Would give that extra "buzz" to your city. Can't wait to see it all finished

[@OnlineShots]

7:14 looks like an epic boss you're gonna battle made out of minecraft blocks, truly a work of art.

[@jacketthackett1684]

This is one of my favourite episodes

[@Ddddddddddd381]

etho, i love your style of house for the emerald city! i will even try to use it in my own world for a village! your building ideas inspire me so much for my own world! whenever i find out you upload a video, i stop what im doing, just to watch it, keep it up etho!!!!

[@lenjenben]

We’re ravagers a thing when this video came out? If not, that house is clearly the inspiration!

[@SurnameName]

nah, ravagers were added years later

[@MrKassassin]

25:30 lol the pigman was laughing at etho :D

[@shanghaiohmy]

Etho, I think you should build Emerald City as a series of tiered rings. You could have them expand outward and downward for two layers/rings, and then have another ring or two lining the walls of the cliffs up above. The cliff-houses would continue the style set out by the first 4 houses, but would be dug into the walls instead of being separately built.

[@ja1theduck858]

the tree idea was so cool, I hope he used it

[@instantfries]

Etho, the thumbnail for this is great, first minecraft video I've seen with a tilted screen(damage) as the thumbnail.

[@rarjumbo9952]

Classic episode I remember when this came out

[@SelcouthSparks]

Great video, Etho! Something you might find useful to know - I was experimenting with just this sort of portal two days ago and I wanted it to turn it off after a delay. I found, however, that the redstone freezes upon re-entering the world though, so the timer never times out to deactivate the portal (this was in 1.3.2 creative). I also tried hooking up a t-flip-flop to the buttons so that the portal is covered when it is off, hiding the dispensers somewhat.

[@Drabbersquash]

Hey Etho, as you know, in the new version 1.4 you will be able to have other mobs/entities travel through the nether portal. i think that this will be a great advantage for you to hook up to the blaze farm so that you wont have to travel to the nether every time you want to access it and could also make it so the blaze rods go through a portal into the overworld! just a suggestion

[@tns22x]

etho, for the dispensers that have water in them, you can keep them powered, and they will activate when powered or depowered by another wire, so you don't need to power it twice

[@Ezis9]

Also Etho... I reccomend for your portal that you hide the dispensers using pistions. ie. Put the dispencers on top behind pistioned blocks. Then put another two piston blocks on the bottom so it will drain out the back. That way, when it's off, you will see nothing but blue lapis ;)

[@WarningGrammarNazi]

Never have truer words been spoken.

[@SmugHomura]

well, for starters it's full of useful materials. so when you dig out space for your projects you get loaded with goodies. secondly, it's really convinient as you always have a roof and walls which you can easily utilise it projects. thirdly, caves have a cool natural design and can spark a lot of creativity when thinking of buildings. and it's also just cool ^^

[@cheetochinpo]

"Yet another takes his refuge high above the earth's surface... his self made emerald city twinkling in the night sky like a verdant star. There, Green Lantern commands a lonely throne... ever vigilant, ever waiting for signs of threats extraterrestrial. He waits still." New Oa.

[@aarondixon1151]

Love how the zombie pitman was head banging after he killed etho like it was an achievement! XD

[@MrMelenhead]

not wasted. This is Etho. Nothing is wasted.

[@xXPengoXx]

Etho, If you want to see something cool go the the silverfish cube farm and break about 4 silverfish blocks, then throw a extended poison potion at them. Once they finish being poisoned lure them all to the middle and throw a poison at the bunch.. it will be great!

[@Samuelpeters15]

If you have the dispenser with water in constantly powered by a torch, or lever, and then activate the dispenser, it will have a double pulse, so you don't need all the circuitry! :)

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Remember when you could mine wood with an efficiency shovel?

[@MrsGLeitao]

Etho i just suggested your channel to my friends and they loved it continue with your good work :)

[@Miny000000]

ETHO! I have a great idea! For your storage room, put dispensers (as you were going to), but on the dispensers, put item frames to show the items off! Now you won't have to use signs that you can't read from far away :) It looks amazing too, a nice look with the dispenser's texture.

[@krabzmorningstar6240]

damn

[@247flashgames]

That village idea with the tree sounds epic! You should definitely use the villager fountain if you don't want to do the tree!

[@kyroo1052]

I think, you should grow a jungle tree in the middle of the village that reaches to the outside and then also make a lookout on it so you could overlook your village from above.

[@AdnamaBriefs]

The tree idea was cool. But only bosses, as good as Etho, could pull off and amazing tree like that.

[@HomesliceHobbes]

At first the I was confused about the design. But then I was thoroughly impressed :D

[@Volk_]

I like the idea of an overview or walkway above the village, corner houses might be nice as well.

[@HARDLINE98]

Etho, just put a torch on a block directly behind the dispenser then it will drop the water then pick it back up and it will be more compact.

[@Psoinic]

Etho, instead of dispensers, you could disable the portal with sticky pistons to push a block into the portal.

[@cannypeng743]

in emerald city you could build it in levels so you can have different places and more villager spawn rates and a central tower to provide food in chests in the tower and then suck them back in the night so you don't have to worry about it being killed by zombies, creapers etc.

[@DaStraw9000]

the pigman looked like he was head banging after he killed etho, like hell yeah i just killed the man that has killed many mobs of this world. now we can finally rest easy

[@MrSirBurpsAlot]

Dude, the makers of the game just announced that they are making their newest and best version yet! They didn't say much about it, but they did say there will be an option to allow the virus access in to your personal settings and steal your identity! it's gonna be sooo cool!

[@RCGrulz]

Wow!you wouldn't think those colors would work but it looks really cool

[@ndvenckus1]

I think in the center of the city, where you tried the netherbrick and grass, you should replace the grass with emerald blocks. I know that would be reaaally expensive, but overall, I think it would look awesome, and really highlight the fact that it's "emerald" city. Or, do emerald blocks with double slabs if you want to give it a lighter feeling.

[@helasraizam]

Minecraft understanding of mating: "They may start breeding at this point but I don't know if there's enough doors." 12:03

[@Coathar]

I love how the zombie pigman was nodding at 25:30

[@darknight52cat]

Etho, For the village you could hide doors under ground and it would be part of the village so they can breed

[@Pyrofour]

yeah, they spawn near portals in the over-world. in 1.4, entities will be able to actually use the portals

[@Zenta24471]

I love how the pigman started laughing in his face

[@ElliotWardTV]

Etho you should turn the houses into flats with apartments and stairs so you can fit more doors on them!

[@USApunk07]

Etho i would recommend putting a stone block on a piston to push out and disable the portal which would look much cleaner then a dispenser

[@dirkfield]

Villager enters houses sees a 1x2 space to walk the rest is covered in redstone wiring. Etho FTW

[@TheGorillaGreen]

lol he was nodding his head like "yeah! i killed etho! this is my hood!" 25:30

[@exstar4850]

i like the creeper faces on top of the houses

[@Bobb11881]

Etho's off to see the Wizard! Wait, he already IS a wizard! A wizard of Redstone!

[@MrSirBurpsAlot]

What? There's a sequel already? Dude! I've been waiting months for that one to come out!

[@PrivateSnoopee]

Etho, you could try to make an emergency escape route in the village houses just in case. Maybe you could also incorperate it into some cool contraption

[@MrGetownedLP]

FeelsStrongMan holyyyy

[@krabzmorningstar6240]

Ikrrr

[@TheOrcaOfPower]

Etho.For a theme you could make a tree village with wooden logs for walls and leaves for roofs.Or you could make an Italian Villa with sandstone for walls and brick stairs for roofs(because the kinda look like tiles).Thanks for listening.

[@mrskeletal]

I like the dark swamp grass with nether brick, only etho could make swamp grass look good

[@YugiohAI]

You know etho, you could put a small waterfall behind the creeper face so u could just walk through the face, get burned a little and get cooled down as soon as you go through the waterfall. Just an idea so u don't have to use ender pearls all the time

[@sativa2swag]

Replace the grass with sandstone, or make a fountain. I would also add some street-lights.

[@lukesorge6041]

Etho, your one of "The" best Minecraft Players I have Ever Seen, So I Would Like to Thank You for All the hard Work you Put in. These Episodes are So Helpful. Thanks Again :P

[@BZAsciimator]

If librarians spawn in artificial libraries, make several. Your paper trade will become a lot easier without having to wait for trades as often.

[@thatdobbinsguy]

Etho, personally I think that since it's "Emerald City" I think you should incorporate emerald blocks into the circle. Maybe replace the grass with emerald blocks and then put the lava glass combo back in. Just a suggestion, know it would be expensive, but it would be very impressive and very Etho!

[@gmcdude5540]

As a kid i 100% tried to make a golden city that copies this and i built mainly copying you i cannot believe it was 11 years ago ack

[@TimJSwan]

Hey Etho, I've been watching your episodes starting from Episode 1 and now I'm on Episode 106. I also saw this episode and thought what a coincidence that I watch both the video where your make that lava creeper face in your cave the first time the same time I watch this video of you remodeling it with a nether portal. :D

[@ajwarren16]

Dear Etho, You should put pistons under the emeralds in front of the door on all of the houses and wire them together for a "lock-down mode"

[@MrSmoothfish]

etho i think one thing you should do in your cave is to change the sandstone in the enchantment room with wooden planks, not all of it because those two blocks look good together but there is just too much sandstone in that small area

[@HomesliceHobbes]

Etho you should make suspension bridges into different cave houses. It would be like the "sketchier" area of Emerald City.

[@camillem.2095]

That house is just... I can't even come up with a word for it

[@heleen2345]

Etho is a redstone GOD

[@ASAWProductions]

Etho THANK YOU for finding something that looks good with swamp grass... Netherbrick. never thought that :)

[@nickthealien9963]

Etho went through a lot of trial and error with this project

[@TyPeRHSDT]

Etho. to make more villagers you can make a cellar type living rooms underneath the ground with doors for poor villagers that cant afford good houses and make a staircase so they can go down and live there. that could rise the population of your city and even maybe spawn golems which they usually do if there's enough villagers.

[@chrisbaker7753]

the grass and the nether brick look really nice together

[@shadowfighter1881]

that moment when its raining in your minecraft browser at the same time as in the youtube vide XD

[@MySoulHD]

Hey, if you are reading this, etho, you should have trapdoors in the holes where the sunlight comes in, the villagers will still accept it as a house

[@DavidTriphon]

Etho, you said that you thought the dispensers looked ugly for the portal frame. You could perhaps use pistons to let water out If the timing works right. Because if it does, then you could use your own style for the backing.

[@MechazoidApocalypse]

Instead of nether brick or sandstone, you could probably use birch, it has some texture and might look good

[@IMonsterman3715]

Etho hope you read my comment but yes in 1.4 the clock will move in the frame also make a emerald blacksmith it would look so cool!

[@Ghost8919]

Here's an idea. Switch the Nether Brick with Sandstone, the Grass with Sand, and the Stone Bricks with Smooth Sandstone.

[@PatLoser10000]

The floor looks awesome!

[@gracemorgan7861]

Two things when 1.4 comes out water won't be able to destroy nether portals so you should make a piston move a block in the portal and another thing all animals and villagers can go in the nether too so you can use that for villager teleportation

[@incherre]

Etho, I think you should use hanging lanterns. In my opinion they look really cool in large caverns. You should also consider making a small ice cave/shrine to pay homage to your original theme idea.

[@Arcticpolar12]

Hey Etho, I think you should add a toggle-able button that activates pistons and blocks the flow of lava into the room with the nether portal, creating a door.

[@mitchdoody-burras1519]

Your really good, nice job with making a village in your house, never no one day you might have a whole village
