This episode we join the local fisher crew to get some fishies and a Pearl for the Demise game. We head to the Nether to get a beacon so that we can quickly setup a Creeper Farm near our base. Then we continue building our starter home by refining some of the things we built before, and by adding a new garden and smelting area.

I love Etho's bone-dry humor: "Oh, you know what'd make this even better? If we had some, like, relaxing music to attract the fishies. *plays disc 13*"
YES
It's what makes him the most British Canadian.
@@tomt5745 ironic considering how robotic you feel
Having the lava farm under / interacting with the hot-springs could be a interesting way to tie the two ideas together.
Thats a really cool idea, hotsprings with a little lava lake below, providing a little passive lava source
Very smart one
Also the blacksmith. Connecting all three somehow would be cool
A kitchen too, maybe.
I was about to comment this! Yay
"Etho's Mom" just took me back 10 years. This season is very feel good so far. Keep it up!
so its not the first time doc's says this about ethos mum 💀?
the fact that it gets me every time 😂😂
@ericg4626 i bet she did
@OOPMAHS no haha etho and doc and beef all of mom jokes going around still from time to time from back in there mindcrack days
Awesome throwback, might have been one of the first jokes Etho did in his Lets Play.
10:30 Etho finds a skeleton spawner "I don't really need it now, but...." 26:36 Etho builds a micro farm. "I don't actually have any bonemeal." *Me:* 🤔 Maybe we'll see the linking of these in the next episode or two?
Indeed.
I think Etho likes overhangs so much because they are all interiors with no exterior.
ikr that's what I was thinking, he's finally building an exterior, but he's building it like it's an interior 😭I love it tho and it looks good
LMAO cheating the system
no its because he feels good that hes getting a little better at building roofes
@@boothblaster2211 Our boy Etho is finally finishing roofs on buildings
@@MeXoof Except now he's overcorrected and its _only_ roofs lmao
i feel like this season is defined so far by everyone coming in with a healthy mindset of wanting to just enjoy the game, good company, and the creative process. Its cozy and wholesome and i enjoy every second etho is on screen
I’m really enjoying the close together vibes. Really reminds me of the earlier seasons with a lot more focus on collaboration and personalities and less on mega-bases and huge projects.
and then doc speed running as per usual
same! it's such a stress-free and relaxing kind of content :)
Especially with the voice mod! I feel like everyone has it on so people can just walk up to you and talk instead of having to ask to join a discord call and all that other *mumbo jumbo*
@@MeXoof "mumbo jumbo" 😂
Watching the thought process on how to fix the bridge actually helps a lot with improving my builds. Please include more thought processes on other builds, it’s super useful. You’re great Etho!
Indeed.
I agree! I love it when minecraft youtubers include their building thought process in their videos! It's so helpful!
Pearls death from your perspective answered so many questions it was epic
oh we eating GOOD today
@@lorrgrsnacks got
i thought this as i read your comment
So good
@lorrgr About the snacks, I just got home from the store and lunch but on my way home someone ran a red light so I hit my breaks and my food bag fell off the seat and all my fries spilled out and now I'm sad, my Hamburger survived but I'm still hungry :'(
Why do people talk about eating so much lol “he ate”
Etho said "greenhouse hot springs blacksmith" and I am IN I am SO IN FOR THIS BASE!!!
FR
im so excited!!
Yes!!!!
the tiny functional (but still pretty) farms integrated so perfectly will always be my favourite part of your bases
Loving the emphasis on hanging out with the other Hermits this season. All the different interactions are so much fun to watch. 🎣 I love the addition of the greenhouse/garden. It's so pretty and functional! A suggestion for something small you could add next time is to bone-meal the bottom of the bridge pond and add in seagrass, maybe a fish or two. I know frogs are an eventual plan as well but it'd add movement and life to the area with a fairly easy change.
Xisuma found a bee bug in his greenhouse farm that causes them to constantly pollinate while stuck in a vine next to a flowering azalea leaf block, could save him a tone of bone meal.
Wow, from Pearl's perspective you absolutely couldn't tell that you yanked her in there. Definitely right to give you the credit, even if someone unknown got the last tick.
This is the fourth time I've seen that interaction, and until Etho's POV I had no idea how she got yanked into the hole. Now it all makes sense!
yeah he was behind a wall LOL
I absolutely cried laughing at the trap doors flipping with the bone meal farm! It's such a perfect etho thing to do, never change.
its absolutely etho yes ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
it kept making me think of ways to avoid it, and then going "nah, etho" 😂
Grian is going to find that lever and have a field day with it.
the machine applauds when it's in use
It immediately had me wondering if other Hermits are going to prank him by just leaving one or more of his farms running while he's away, so he gets to hear the noise when he comes back 😆
I love the way etho builds how you can be inside and feel like you're outside, and when you're outside you feel like you're inside
Etho and Doc talking about the Mindcrack days. What a throwback.
Etho, I don't think I'll ever get bored watching you explain your building process. You seem more vibrant this season, in a similar way to the fun you seem to have on the life series. I don't know if it's RL things that are going better or the way the hermits are all so close this season but despite how early in the season it is, you are shining. I hope you are having as much fun creating as we are watching.
I rewatched some of his older videos, like the start of his solo LP series, and the difference is insane. He's opened up a whole lot since then and even like from the middle of his solo LP series too. But you can still tell it's him one way or the other.
I noticed it too in the past few months, it's so nice to see him enjoy Hermitcraft and have the time available to do it! Loving these videos soo much
"i feel like im in a fever dream" as the weird music plays 🎶. Cut to 15 people eating a pufferfish "krrrkrrrkrkrrr" in unison. Hilarious 😂 best edit from Ethos so far.
We all need a timestamp 😭
Between that, Error 404, and Etho's sleep schedule, I really do wonder now what his dreams are like...
@@katshuma 1:29 😵💫
I didn't realize this till now but he included the witch sounds from the prank he and Doc did on Scar
The part starting at 4:25 where they are launching each other is awesome. Its great to have them all laughing at such a simple part of the game
I love how Etho is still building 100% in Etho style, he's basically just swapped interior for exterior for now - the area that seems like it'll be the interior of the building is redstone circuitry space and so far all the access areas are in the area "surrounding" the base building itself. The inverse of his usual. No doubt there will at some point be something inside beyond the mechanics but I'm loving the process, it's so fascinating this way around :D
If you plan to make a lava farm, you can combine it with the hot springs idea! You could have like a geothermal vent kinda vibe below ground, and a hot springs above ground!
Maybe combine that with the mountain he was thinking about last episode - sneaky volcano
@@DangerDitthe could add like a cave to the mountain that has a pipe that lava flows through
i love this idea, if he put the hotspring up on the hill he could have the lava farm next to the smelter and have the hotsprings that are being "heated" by the lava farm drain into the pond for the greenhouse
"It's not that we don't love you it's that we want to see your corpse" -ZombieCleo 2024 (9:45)
I think the ring shape of the house lends itself well to the idea of a small courtyard in the center. It would fit well with the natural, eastern, vibe of the house. Loved the episode Etho, thank you so much!
It would be great to leave the trap door "bug", if only since it's not something you'll use often but it will be absolutely HILARIOUS if anyone stopping by hits the lever not knowing what is gonna happen.
++
I think the house rapidly waving at you is super charming and I kind of love it.
I love Etho and Doc’s interactions
For some reason I don't like Doc, I can't explain why
@@Etrehumain123 I'm shook, how can u nottt he's litro hilarious. tho that's how I feel abt gem
@@Etrehumain123he's an acquired taste. You know like coffee. First it tastes like ashtray but once you're hooked you can't wakeup without it.
14:30
When he said that they built a farm on MindCrack a 100 years ago, i felt that.
Is it just me, or does Etho sound so much happier this season? I’m so glad and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
If I recall correctly, his father was terminally ill for most of, if not all of last season. He was dealing with all of the emotions that come with that, while also dealing with a lot of the legal/financial stuff that needed to be sorted out.
@@delusional4041that was more season 8 stuff if I remember correctly but i think it was more of him just dealing with financial stuff in season 9
Loving that this building style is basically just a continuation of Modded Season 2. Feeling so inspired to make Japanesque world
Hey Etho! I just want to say I really like seeing things like the small super-smelter, multi-purpose bone meal and simple crop automations. Plenty of youtubers have super-mega-maximum efficency versions of these things, but from these episodes I'm actually learning farms that I'll be able to copy myself. Hearing you emphasise the importance of getting gunpowder early and having a beacon for haste - It's cool to get an idea of how a "pro" minecrafter plays the game from the beginning.
The cauldron resting on the edge of the trapdoor works really well, makes it seem like you can easily swing it either out to the lake to fill it up or in to the garden to empty it out.
I love ethos editing so much, his random cutaways are the best. The part with the witch heads and pufferfish killed me
13:15 From mindcrack to season 10 in 2024. It's great to see you and Doc still playing. What great memories that brings back from the old days
Etho's building style is similar to that of a discovery writer. Someone who "discovers" the story as they write it. So, if Etho is "discovering his build as he makes it, does that make him a discovery builder?
Hey, Etho! Once you have enough wax, you should wax all the signs around the base so that they can’t be interacted with. Might prevent some accidental right-clicks and text entry!
Wait thats a thing you can do, TIL I guess.
I did not know that thanks for your knowledge also 🏳️⚧️👉
the bit with iskall was so funny, his pause and stare every time etho mentioned food was gold 😂
The hanging signs on the bridge are quite nice. Creative use for sure.
I absolutely love the patchwork style building! Maybe it’s nostalgia clouding my judgement, but it really reminds me of the early days in the man-cave. The notable difference however is that path and buildings around are built instead of being predetermined by a cave system. I think this dramatically increases the difficulty of building, but to me it has paid off with a beautifully balanced and naturally structured build that feels like it can expand comfortably. I’m so excited to see where it goes, and to see etho further define his style.
(31:50) - Hear me out... Hot springs on the hill. Water running down into the pond... how bout it?
Just wanna say, I absolutely love hearing you talk about how you build, what choices you make, and why you make them
"And we'll get a fox, and tie him up in our garden"🤣
I literally read this *exactly* at the same time as I heard him say it.
This is my first time watching hermitcraft and, wow, they’ve really got something special here. So cool seeing everyone’s different builds and the interactions are so funny/wholesome. This really does feel like peak minecraft
"take the offspring of her favorite kitty and put them in my creeper farm for all eternity" ah yes eugenics.
okay the whole build is amazing so far BUT those hidden water spots in the garden?????? AMAZING. JAW DROPPED. something so simple and obvious but I never could've thought of. amazing work my man.
Today I learned that a water source does not need to be contiguous with the farmland it's watering. Somehow I'd had the idea that it worked as if the water was seeping block to block. The more you know! I've said it before, but I really think that Etho's color sense is second only to Pearl's among all the Hermits. This season's base is shaping up to be his most gorgeous one yet.
I love seeing multiple hermits doing Japanese themes this season, makes the whole server feel connected. Maybe the bridge over the pond could connect to a sort of zen garden? The mangrove wood you've already used in your base would serve as a good material to build a torii gate, with warped wood on top.
Since Hermitcraft isn’t 100% vanilla, you can add custom audio files to music disc/noteblocks through a data pack or resource pack. I think it would be interesting to create a skulker network that plays music based on where your character is located in your base. Different areas can have their own music, similar to how Zelda has different music for regions, dungeons, bosses, etc.
Bringing up Zelda with that idea makes me think of how Skyward Sword handled the marketplace with the music changing.
My dream is being the one who composes that music one day
@@Sebbe_Myhre good luck!
@@superubergoober (':
We warch your career with great interests @@Sebbe_Myhre
That simple bridge change helped so much. Little details like using the hanging signs is genius! Great video Etho, I look forward to the next.
I love how etho its known for his technical stuff, but in reallity he is one of the best minecraft builders, i swear, every time i see an etho build i think man, why cant i build like that
etho in his natural habitat: a greenhouse I think this is one of your best episodes ive seen, nothing super special happened but you made time for a little bit of everything and explained a lot of your thought process behind your choices. Your base this season is beautiful and the details you added really made it come alive
This new base might be my new favourite of Etho's builds. Perfect mix of form and function. I think this could be the best season of hermitcraft - love how people aren't rushing the endgame and I really like that people are staying close together
Well y’know, except for doc…
I don't think any season will ever beat season 7, especially with prox chat. S7 was the perfect hermitcraft season, start to finish.
Too much burnout recently. People are learning to enjoy little things again. It's felt pretty wholesome to watch actually :D
Etho + Gem or Etho + Bdubs. I love his dynamic with them
Bdubs and Etho is like a married cupple
the vibes this season are so nice, love the more casual take and lots of spending time with others, 10/10
Etho so humble he actually has creators outside of minecraft watching him etho might be the owner of mc and we ain't know it
i watched etho before people watched my videos hahah, always been a fan!!
As someone who used to only watch a lot of Grian and Mumbo, it's been really fun to see how Etho builds. I like the patchwork style and its really cool!
THE PUFFERFISH EATING CIRCLE WHAT XD
and then in someone else’s POV he said ‘we drank the koolaid’ 😭😭😭 It was darker joke than usual it caught ne off guard
@@yzabella9260 WOW I did not expect that out of Etho lmao, I need that clip Etho rarely lets loose his chaotic self like that but oh boy when he does boy does it catch us off guard eh
the koolaid joke just about killed me from laughing and screeching "eTHO NO!!"
The laughing during the fishing bit was contagious 😂 love seeing y’all laughing it up so sincerely Edit: nah, the entire episode is a gold mine. I love all the interactions between you and the other hermits!
I can never stop myself from coming back to watching Etho. Many things have changed overtime, but those vibes I got from watching my first episode of his let's play 11 years ago watching the creation of Wilson to the current content. Yet while many things have changed in that time one thing that never changes would be how enjoyable and great it feels to watch Ethos content. It's honestly had a rather positive impact on my life and I'm glad Etho is the same as ever, enjoyable, entertaining, and just as comfortable to watch as ever!
I love Etho's build style so much, I really enjoy watching him build and explain his design choices! This base reminds me so much of his S7 base :))
I suggest swapping the hanging signs under the overhang with some brighter more colorful wood. Cherry and birch could indicate those traditional cloths with quotes written on it
Cherry and bamboo
Nothing is better than when etho says "just to finish up at the end here" or some variation and you check the run time and it has 10+ minutes left
Wandering through Etho's base is going to bring the joy of being a kid flipping through a pop-up book with all the hidden things that move or function
I love how balanced this episode is, from hanging out with hermits to farm and base building. It flows so nicely! Also Etho's base is gorgeous!
Season 10 is easily my favorite season so far, and we're only 2 episodes in! I love the balance of building, farming, and hanging with hermits each episode. And the base is lookin sick!
It feels like some of those old Minecraft Let's Play servers back in 2011. Just a bunch of friends playing and goofing around
This is one of my favorite bases of yours by far. The interior base was really nice too!
More than 30 minutes is a blessing. I know it’s a lot of work, but we appreciate the longer videos when you give them to us.
i really like how much etho is innovating with this season, it's like he has so much self-awareness and foresight and it makes watching this series all the more enjoyabe
I love the greenhouse/garden, and sneaky hidden water (that's really smart!), and cauldron on chains. It's all looking very cool and very Etho-like.
For the Onsen/Hot Spring: How about making your Lava farm themed like an Onsen/Hot Spring and tie it in with the lava feeding/going towards the Blacksmith.
I really liked the style of this video and the variety of content you had. You had the quality montage of interactions with other hermits, showing off your gunpowder farm, and general updates. Then you actually brought us into your building process while working on the bridge, then you built off camera and explained your process of the other additions to your build. I like how you showed us some of the process of building and how you built off camera. It was a great video! Glad you enjoyed making it
Add lanterns to the underside of the lily pads to light up the pond more! So atheistic and practical while being pretty!
19:22 Love the idea you're going for this season Etho! A good mix of hermit interactions, building etc. Excited!
I like the admission of the super smelter situation. Sometimes you just gotta build the little one - you can always still build the big one later, but if you spend you're whole time waiting for the Perfect Opportunity, you'll miss out on the decent ones along the way. And smelting has to happen all the while anyhow.
I love the little thought processes behind each design decision. The base is beautiful AND functional and I adore all the easter eggs like the hidden water sources (I didn't even know that water sources didn't have to be directly connected to the garden!). This is so cool, Etho, thank you for all the cool tips and ideas.
i havent watched much of etho before but the way he builds is just absolutely amazing
Your building style is so unorthodox and unique and eye-catching, it's so pretty. I love how hard it is to draw the line between interior and exterior when looking at the base
I love the dinamick between Gem and Etho, they are like big brother and little sister mock each other
you mean dynamic? never seen it spelled "dinamick" before lol
Gem's got the energy of the little sister of the entire server lmao.
@@gristen No need to correct someone's spelling on a random youtube comment; there are various reasons other than just a mistake that could cause someone to misspell a word and for something as inconsequential as a comment, it is unnecessary to bring up.

One of my favorite Etho episodes ever in 10+ years of watching! Awesome build, I love the greenhouse
One of my favorite things is looking into Etho's building logic and process, love the abstraction of block purposes and different approaches, still my favorite builder in the mc community
The greenhouse is so beautiful! So compact yet full of life. So pleasing to the eye, especially in these gloomy winter months :] A lot of Hermits excel at making megabases and terrafirming entire bases, but you are great at smaller scale stuff. You always build with the player in mind, how they walk through the base, how they interact with stuff. It would have been a beautiful decorative build, but you also manage to sneak so many little automations and quality of life upgrades, it's great! Can't wait to see more from this base and your shenanigans with other Hermits.
it just melts my heart etho, what ever you build, your cozy, close together, pleasing color pallet is remarkable, each episode gets me more excited to see what comes next.
Heres a minigame idea centred around 'fishing'. Every hermits starts behind a starting line and they have to cross the river in a straight line by jumping onto lily pads. And these pads must be obtained by fishing only. ❤
Don't worry too much about finishing the whole build in 1 episode. I like the slow build with a more detailed guide through as you do it. Looking amazing!
A nice Rock Garden would fit the theme, cactus, little bushes with the differnet rocks textures.
5:37 Lol I love the way they all just swarm him 14:32 DOC, NO
Etho, I'd say as long as you're having fun and throwing it on yt that's a successful episode. As a viewer just listening to all the things you wanted to have done EVERY episode was a little overwhelming. Don't get caught in the rat race, we'll love everything you post. Also, some sunflowers for ur greenhouse :)
Yea, no sense biting off more than you can chew. Or even want to chew, if building or socializing is out for an episode or 3 no worries. It'll be fun no matter what.
I love the interactions with all the hermits, very fun to watch if everyone is having fun
"For goodness sake's Etho, have you not eaten today?"
Etho somehow seems to have a completely unique dynamic with every fellow Hermit he interacts with, and I'm living for every single one
Which raises the question, (and friendly little fantasy), "How would he interact with you?"
Watching etho build that little garden area is like the platonic ideal of Minecraft play
Even if this video was 2 hours of Etho building I'd watch it all
I am absolutely cracking up at everyone's heads following Grian after he bounces and then dies. The way Etho reacts too just gets me giggling.
Inspector Pearl should be proud! This all looks amazing :)
Honestly Etho, you are such a good builder. I love the base so far, can't believe you did it so quickly!
So gald Etho's back in full time on the Hermicraft server, all the interactions are so good!
Etho has become my new favourite hermit followed closely by Bdubs, doc and "the main characters" grian mumbo and scar
I always enjoy the subtleties in your editing. There's always an extra layer to why you show a scene. Like at 9:45 when you show where you'll be building the creeper farm but also include the funny text in chat.
A courtyard base is perfect for Etho I’m so excited to see how this looks at the end :)
I have to say, be part of your thought process when you decorating is kind of fascinating and very helpful for my own buildings. Thanks for this great video.
does anyone remember back during the mindcrack days, Etho made a mini game called Death Games? I wanna see death games 3.0.
I started watching etho this season and so far im satisfied. His building style really reflects mastery: just going with it means he has innate understanding of building
This might be my favorite base I've seen you start working on so far.
i think foliage and garden stuff is DEFINITELY etho's strong suit. like, his builds are already so good, but plants are where he just takes it to the next level! He deserves more recognition - he's not just redstone man anymore!
