I like how Etho has a room dedicated to testing Redstone, but he still just does it on open spaces above the mancave

getting some fresh air after all the time he spent underground i guess

Practice makes perfect wherever In redstone room it gives only 1.1x more experience so most of the time it's not worth it Lolz ROFL

+

It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally love the redstone episodes. Especially ones like this that discover a whole new redstone mechanic.

Etho: technical R&D episode… maybe not everyone’s cup of tea Literally everyone: anything Etho does is my cup of tea

Its awesome how etho is still making redstone discoveries with the motion detector.

It is somewhat new. Key word is somewhat

There are so many things you can do with red stone now. Before and after sculk!

Etho will always be the OG redstone innovator.

@Walter White big facts!! All my redstone knowledge came from etho, then mumbo later on. The redstone goats

@Silver Smurfer And CNB Minecraft, he just disappeared though...

You should name at least one of the villagers in each cell, so you can tell easily when a full loop has passed

Another 29 minutes of pure bliss

Impossible to have watched even half of the video yet but you're right but default so you get a pass

@Flamingpaper u can skip the intro and all the filler and u can watch @ 2x speed so its def possible

@Flamingpaperhe didn’t say he watched the video yet, nor is he incorrect at all lmao

@Jay H thanks

I love that you made such a complicated redstone machine to know, when the villagers restock, while you could have just put a clock on a wall. 😅

Let's be honest though, this is Etho we're talking about here after all...

etho do what etho does

If he used a hopper clock it wouldn't work because Etho and or the player sleeps every now and again. How would the clock work with that.

@Isaac Bluestone he is talking about an actual clock that you can put in an item frame.

@Isaac Bluestone I think he meant a normal clock in an item frame

I love how Etho starts building some big complicated things, then goes "wait, hopper clock" It really does just solve every problem.

YEAAAAAH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I WAS WHEN HE PULLED OUT THE DOUBLE SUBTRACT

IVE DONE THIS BEFORE I SAW THAT CARD IN HIS HANDS AND WATCHED HIM PICK AND PLAY IT LIKE A DAMN ROYAL FLUSH WHOOOOOOOOO LETS GO ETHO

bro I'm so excited on your behalf haha what a great time

I think etho is the only YouTuber I've watched consistently for like 8 years

Etho's got charisma and creativity; the perfect combo.

Etho's fans are the most loyal on YouTube. For a good reason.

@Another Duck I feel like all of his fans have been watching for many years

The only other one is video game dunkey Which is funny because their content is completely opposite

Ive been watching him since the island base mob sorting system days, maybe even since single digit episode numbers, and i was in primary school then iirc, and now i live on my own and have a job. The fact that he is still going strong, despite other monuments of the old school MC community like Yogscast Simon and Lewis, PaulsoaresJR, GenerikB, InTheLittleWood, UberHaxorNova, etc. having long since moved on says loads about Etho's ability to commit to something, keep it interesting to watch, and still be able to find enjoyment in something he's been doing for so long. My upmost respect always goes out to old guard like him and Bdubbs. No matter how much time passes in my life, I'll always love Etho's content

Idk why I’m surprised but the fact that double subtraction with comparators equals addition is awesome! Also, I love how Etho is still finding so many clever redstone innovations. What a fantastic episode of awe-inspiring ideas!

Bdubs got a mention in the main series, he must be going crazy 😂

I would love to see an OOGE series again, not sure if it would ever happen

ikr, that’s exactly what I thought when etho mentioned him xD

main etho girl

@Walter White vinyl fantasy anybody?

@Walter White legendary!!!!

19:48 - "You guys all know the hopper clock, right?" Haha! I think Etho is the only one that doesn't call it the Etho Hopper Clock.

Mah man has the authority to do so haha

If I'm not mistaken, that mechanic where villagers don't close their trades is actually used in Ilmango's peaceful challenge to exploit a bug that happens when you open the trading window w/ a wandering trader and unload the guy. It lets you buy gunpowder (the only method in peaceful), but the wandering trader will still have that trade available next time you see him. Rinse and repeat, you've got a gunpowder farm in peaceful :D

I first found your videos right before you started building the Ice Base, around 10 years ago. I've watched every LP episode from the beginning (and all other solo content), and out of all the YouTubers out there that have lasted even half as long, you've managed to keep it the same for over a decade. Your content has been therapeutic for so long, and whether you see this or not, I just wanted to say thank you for all these years of the coolest Minecraft contraptions.

All of your long term fans came for the redstone, we love everything you do Etho don't worry. Was an amazing video.

Humanos

I bet even the new ones are happy to watch the red stone sections… it’s not the game he’s playing, but the dude playing it. Etho is just the best. No moment with Etho is EVER a skip forward. ❤

I personally think the rain sensor is deserving of some noteblock music to go along. I can already envision the no commentation montage in my mind.

19:48 Ah yes, the hopper clock. The clock you made. The clock that is also called the Etho hopper clock, named after you. That clock.

“Oh, yeah. It’s all coming together.”

Yes, that poison!

So this is kind of a proximity sensor. Is this called the etho prox?

E-prox? E-prox device?

Should we use pressure plates to detect when a player enters a room? Etho: No, let's use sound parallax. This is why I love your videos so much, Etho.

Always challenging himself to do something new. Even if he brings in a slice of his old hopper clock.

Why just stick a clock on a wall when you can make a double substraction system to correct the time when its raining

@Boliveto I feel like even with the inaccuracy in the sensors, it's still easier to get an accurate read using redstone than with a clock in an item frame. And it's certainly easier to do without having to stand near the clock/device.

Agreed!!!

@perchy22 yeah for sure, yet it seems like an overcomplex solution, a overkill all in all but etho just randomly do these kinda """useless""" things and end up discovering something amazing, and it feels me with determination

This episode was my cup of tea Apparently, your work has inspired quite a few people to get an education in computer science, including me.

Ur ability to break down and explain complicated red stone makes me warm

First there was the Etho Hopper Clock, now there's the Etho Skulk Toggle!

if Etho has a million fans i am one of them. if Etho has 10 fans i am one of them. if Etho only has one fan that is me. If Etho has no fans; i am not alive. if it’s the world against Etho, i am against the world.

Yep, that’s pretty much it. I can’t explain why a grown ass man like me is such a fan of some random Canadian without a face lol If I had to be subscribed to only one channel, it’d be Etho’s. I’m here for 13 years, it’s crazy.

You could also try to play with wool. just put wool on every but one side of skulk sensor, and it would activate only while you walk in front of this open side. So if you have it on one side of door it only "hear" you walking in or out. or maybe placing one wool between skulk sensors?

Oh cool, I didn't realize wool blocked the sensor like that

@Emily & Jared it's very useful in ancient cities :)

Yeah I think 3 sensors would work. One for each direction and one walking past the 'entrance ' (Etho calls it the line).

I literally come here to say this

Yeah I was thinking something like that as well, wool could probably be applied to fix some issue with this detector.

I love Etho's new editing style. It's still him. It still feels like him. How did you manage to do that, Etho??

I would love to see Etho go into more detail into his editing process in an episode, maybe of a comment of the day. He touches on it in the episode 'Odd one out' but I think there's definitely more to say about it.

Who misses the note block songs?

@George Jones sometimes I go back and watch a Hermitcraft S7 episode here and there just for the noteblock song montages

@George Jones Me too, but I guess as it takes a lot of time to set up and now when he has had so much RL stuff to take care off after his dad passed away he just doesn’t have the time.

@Hiznogood True.

I can see these sensors being a huge thing for Tango's Decked Out 2. I hope he sees this!

Hey Etho, I started watching more than 10 years ago, and now I’m a computer science major at university. Technical videos like these are exactly what got me into computer science. Keep doing what you’re doing!

my brother in christ i have been programming for 5+ years before getting into university and mathematical analysis is destroying me help

I feel like alot of us have a similar story! Etho's redstone videos played a big part in getting me into computational physics.

@raspberry_picker39 Logarithms are a funny thing.

@raspberry_picker39 I’ve also been programming for several year and I’m quite interested in math, so I could try to help you if you want. Ps. If it shows that I made two of these comments, it is due to the first one disappearing, so I’m trying again. 😅

I can’t say Etho’s technical stuff was what got me into programming, that probably goes to SethBling, but I’m in the same boat. I started watching over 11 years ago, and I’m about to finish up my third semester at university for CS. It’s always great to see others who have watched for so long.

I wonder, how many of Etho's viewers still remember the Dragon Hole. And how many recognized it, just from him falling down.

Etho, you can use wool blocks to block vibrations from certain angles so it only activates when you are directly above them.

I bet the “directional director” become ethos new hopper clock. A breakthrough in the usual Minecraft Redstone!

Love the motion detector! Locking repeaters and double negatives in one episode, a redstoners dream come true!

Hey Etho! I’ve got a suggestion to that sensor that may solve the issue of staying in the zone for too long! Instead of having both sensors so close to each other to see which ones win.. you can separate them into zones so for example a zone would be in the chest room, and another one would be outside of the room. This way you can detect which zone was triggered last (as long as you make it so the detection radius don’t intersect!) This may be less compact but may also be more versatile! Cheers

aaaand, etho did it again, pointing 2 pistons to each other, and inventing the future of redstone in front of our eyes

I love how Etho is really the only guy to use locking repeaters casually

Etho is a little bit of a genius, it turns out

And it's been turning out for 12 years. ;)

That directional sensor is genius!!!! Im hooking my doors to them, it’ll take a while and but my whole base will feel alive

You can use wool to block it too

Hey Etho, one thing to watch out for with sculk sensors is any other sounds will trigger it, Mobs, redstone, etc. Even if you filter out those sounds it causes a delay till they can sense again. I have door I control using a sculk sensor to trigger but if an enderman teleports to close to the door the sensor essentially ignores everything else.

I got the flu and in my delirium, I enjoyed your goofy laugh Etho.

Loved hearing the joy in your voice when you had your eureka moment. Great episode as always, Etho! Really enjoyed all the redstone experiments! :D

I love seeing Etho in his element, having fun and doin what he likes!!! ❤️❤️❤️

It's funny that i remember how i watched your series back then when i was at school and you really inspired me to do redstone, explore upon deep systems of mechanization in Minecraft. Now i already graduated university faculty of computer science and still stuff that you make continues to amaze me. It is insane how you can keep pushing limits of engineering. Stay healthy.

I always think of redstone as physical computer-coding, as opposed to digital, so it makes sense Etho’s experiments interest you, and me, and so very many others.

@StarNanny Yup. Did you guys also find Etho through Sethbling?

@607 No….found Etho searching how to play Minecraft….I don’t remember Sethbling coming up….I’ll look them up, now, thanks.

​@StarNanny Okay! I thought of it because Sethbling used to make a lot of redstone videos, which I loved to watch as a kid. I got to know Etho when he appeared in a few of SethBling's videos at the start of 2013.

love how etho always is able to find some new way to make something, like a trading station that has been made almost identically for years and etho found a new way, and now he just made a circuit with skulk sensors that will probably be as relevant in newer Redstone as the etho hopper clock.

Honestly, I watched Beef's NMS series even before discovering his Minecraft comment, and still to this day whenever I hear his Hermitcraft introductions "Hey guys..." my brain still hears "...welcome to another episode of No Man's Sky" with Etho piping up afterward, "SPACE PALS FOR LIFE!"

Hey etho, have you ever considered making merchandise? A lot of us long time viewers would love to be able to support you in a way that we can physically represent.

Another Etho episode, it is a great day indeed.

My mind loved this episode. The "and" joke was amazing. Só many thing will come from both projects.. amazing. Always looking forward to another episode.

You should be able to skip the piston in the rain circuit by instead subtracting the output of the rain detector. (Compare works too, but *triple* subtraction is cooler)

My original thought was, couldn't he just put a ! (not/invert) function on the addition from the barrel when it's clear out, or swap between values to subtract from instead of re-adding when it rains...

Smart

@Jackstermax Is there a compact analog invert in vanilla redstone? I mostly stick to binary logic in it (or use modded stuff).

@perchy22 subtraction mode on comparators is an analog invertion

6:22 green particles by the villager, meaning it has refreshed trades. I think the issue was that the other work benches were occupied by the other villagers as they were still near those workstations. Adding those 3 composters helped as 2 villagers didn't have a workbench, but as clear in this moment, the villager got a workbench this way.

Gosh, one of the things I've been noticing lately is just how much off-screen work Etho does solely for the sake of smooth transitions and faster explanations. Like when he was showing how to extend the sculk sensor detection radius: the first one he dug out on camera, then the second one was already dug so he could just place the sensor down to make his point. These videos are just so polished. :Chef's Kiss:

Ever since I started learning javascript(coding language), I realized how similar many of the concepts most Minecraft redstoners have with coders. The different logical operators such as the and, or, and not gates, variables represented through items in a chest, comparisons are comparators, etc.

Alrighty Etho, time to ask the big questions. Will be ever see the EthoSlab City base again?

I absolutely loved this episode. I'd love more episodes like this personally :)

if it’s the technical stuff you like more please keep on doing it! This type of innovation in the game is so cool to see. I’ll always remember watching Etho in the thick of it w/ Wilson.

absolutely love the old school tech heavy episode! Etho freely explores game mechanics is what makes this channel different and timeless The directional sensor is soo cool and unique!

Etho out here is being more consistent in my life than my father. Much appreciated

another way to update the door system with skulk sensors is to just have each sensor cover the 2 separate "areas" you care about and have the signals feed a basic RS latch, so have one only hear you when you are inside the room or maybe ALMOST inside and have the other cover the area outside its entryway with no overlap, this method will always work even if you stop right at the midway point as your not relying on timing, even if you shift inside your room and then make some noise it will still work because the whole room is covered, no pistons, no piston noise needed, just pure redstone

Went from watching an old Team Canada video to new Etho episode 😁

I love these technical episodes It feels good when we can go back to "Minecraft Done Technical" Thanks for the episode I really needed something to chill to

That direction detector is fascinating! It seems an under explored area of the skulk sensor. Loved this episode!

a good day is when etho uploads!! so excited for this :]

SO TRUE MYST

You have no idea how much happiness seeing this upload gave me… mega serotonin dosage I must say :D

Etho doesn’t just play minecraft, he innovates it! i’ve been so tired of seeing every youtuber spending episodes wrangling villagers and setting up cheating trade systems but Etho makes it so interesting and a mechanic I want to explore more myself!

Etho, I’ve been watching for about 10 years now. I want you to know you’re the only person I’ve religiously watched and never lose interest in. Your videos are always so great.

Same, started watching in 2012, stopped playing for years and watching other minecrafters. Still watch Etho religiously

Hey Etho, love the technical videos! Remember when you built a movable storage system with minecart chests? With shulkers it may not be necessary but I think it would be a cool novelty to have a base where sculk sensors detect your presence, then call the storage system to the location you are at. I'm certainly going to try this myself.

Etho once again revolutionizing the game with a simple redstone contraption... Amazing!

December 7th, 2010. A legendary series was started and its amazing to see that its being continued to such an extent. Almost twelve years at the time of this comment, not a single episode being boring or lame, always amazing to watch over and over. Keep up the amazing work of blessing us with your videos Etho.

Use wool to let you extend the range of the skulk sensors. Block them off, so they only hear you cross the line and you don't have to put them underground. Also, you don't need pistons. Droppers should do the trick.

I find it funny that Etho had to go back to doors/trapdoors/fence gates to safely move the villagers around. Brings me back to the very old days, way before pistons, when he moved boats around using doors and water streams and pressure plates :)

I don’t know the name for the specific type of decoration, but your villager trading system reminds me of those liquid filled tubes on the side of jukeboxes, with all the bubbles running through…

This reminds me of your older videos so much. I remember spending hours pouring over the video of your storage room and recreating it.

I love the Walk-In/Out Detector Mechanic! There's so much that could be hooked up to these to reduce constantly running systems in bases. Lights? Easy. Moving decorations? Check. Forgot to turn off a farm before leaving? Not anymore! You could even rig an alarm system with this - just enter or leave through the right doorway to arm/disarm the security. It seems like a simple gadgety mechanic, but there's so much potential... Thanks for fiddling around with old and new redstone things, I appreciate these episodes so much.

Only partway through the video, but really hoping Etho learns about skulk sensors working with comparators 😂 And also how they interact with wool and being water-logged

This is fascinating. Etho rediscoverint a natural process. Our hearing actually works this way, we detect the direction of a sound by comparing which ear heard it first (and some other stuff like distortion).

i swear, sometimes etho’s redstone videos feel just like my cs classes in the best way possible, thanks for a great episode etho, the way your mind works is insane

Love these kinds of episodes! The directional sensor development is the kind of thing I originally subbed for :) (and then stayed for everything else)

Not everyone's cup of tea? But Etho, it IS your cup of tea therefore we totally enjoy it... its interesting to see how a redstone genius' mind works problem solving, I learned a few things I never knew so that's a thumbs up from me.

Youtube knows what I need today. Thanks for always delivering the best videos Etho 🖤

Take all the time you need with the trader! Since you have talked about them making grinding a bit too ‘easy’ (paraphrasing) it makes sense to instead put the time into the creation of the machine to even it out, sort of! Love the episode already!

I am so excited to see Etho on my recommenced page! Its been one of them weeks, and this is a real treat! I love familiar things!

Why we love Etho… for those pure awe moment, but just when his not in his pure fun mode!

21:30 hey Etho you should retell that story because I totally forgot about that lol The skulk sensor thing you made is really cool

Redstone episodes are always my favourite! 🥰

Will you ever revisit “old” projects/concepts like that crawling base (even if it got trimmed out of the world file), the aquatic base, the amplified base, and the End base? I know the Man Cave is really the main highlight generally, but it definitely has an almost “near complete” vibe to it now and those other projects were really interesting ideas.

The crawling base is still there, he only cut it out so his file wasn’t to large when his subscribed downloaded it on a completly seperate backup

Wait I don't remember the crawling base could you tell me where in the series he built that one?

Oh wait you mean the base where Etho crawls! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOOI8TO6yqU I was picturing a base that doubled as a flying machine hahaha

Hey Ergo, transport has always been a big part of your career (going back to the EATS road). I've felt elytra, while cool, unfortunately, makes the other forms of transportation a bit obsolete (except some situations like moving mobs). If you could update minecarts, horses, boats, etc what would you do?

This episode was so fun! The directional sensor has so much potential to be used in so many ways, it's definitely going to make bases feel a lot more alive as people start to play around with them more :)

Etho I was looking at your "Join" and saw the "Perks" section and saw your little messages. Still wholesome and funny as always. Super happy to be watching!!

If I've learned anything from engineering, if one sensor is not enough add more. Since these are so compact, you can use a vertical stack of them and take the average of their outputs. You can also use a horizontal line of them, along the traveling path to gather data to determine traveling direction more accurately. These are really cool

Etho these are my favorite types of episodes, where you spend time explaining your thought process to us and invent new stuff on camera. brought me back to old etho :)

“Form forever follows function” is basically a hallmark of Etho’s aesthetic.

I was on my phone when I got the notification. Two hands in the air with a cheer, and instantly began refilling beverages and grabbing snacks. THANK YOU, ETHO!

Average relatable comment 👍

@shqip_idhull Cheers

This is the best kind of episode and the reason I started watching you over 10 years ago. Thanks for all the memories, past and future!

he does it again. even after 10 years. truly the greatest of all time

Loved this! I’ve needed something just like this and am very glad you could explain it to me in a way I understand

I loved this episode, you seemed so happy explaining the directional indicator, keep it up, and definitely put out videos like this one every now and then.

if I ever need motivation to work on one of my builds or attempt to build a Redstone contraption, i always come here, just knowing that ethos has persisted in Minecraft for over 12 years! is often enough to keep me going! thanks Etho :)

This brings back memories of the old mob sorting system in the fortress base. And was that the actual dragon hole! That was an episode 😂

Amazing episode Etho! I wish I could discuss the sensor-theory a bit more. Im learning lots about redstone and mechanics from you. ⭐

Yeah!! New video!! Hope you're doing well Etho, so excited about the video, always a good day when Etho uploads!!!😄💕

I always enjoy your technical gameplay in Minecraft, as you said definitely sparks some ideas here and there!

Etho somehow genuinely makes it interesting to learn about how daylight sensors work under different circumstances. I'm really interested in making one myself now despite the fact that I have no use for it. Great episode as always!
