- Published on Nov 13, 2025
- Past Life is an odd mix of a Social and PvP Minecraft game started by Grian. Players are thrown into a tiny world with almost no rules, except survive as long as possible.
In Past Life, we will be playing through the older versions of Minecraft and updating to a newer one each episode.
3+ Lives = Green Player
2 Lives = Yellow Player
1 Life = Red Player
Red Players are given the goal of killing all the other players in the game. Yellow Players can kill Green Players.

![Megan Thee Stallion - LOVER GIRL [Official Lyric Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dTLSPaJSK8A/mqdefault.jpg)
"I saw some animes" etho said while wearing an anime skin
He watched naruto because his fans told him that's what his skin was from I'm pretty sure
I believe he said he chose his skin because it had a great amount of detail for a skin back in those days
@lucid_3938 Wait he hadn't watched it before?? Like, did he just pick it from a skin site or something
@raisinsun4328 As the fanbase suggests, yes! Which makes it hilarious! XD
@raisinsun4328 yup! Skins back then weren't very detailed so he picked the most detailed one he could find
Etho.. whenever possible. You gotta build YOUR DOOR. the 3x3 etho piston door. It has to be built somewhere on this server before its too late.
they still work though?
@OhMagicalUnicornLord yeah i know, still would be cool since it was a super old redstone door and like made by him
@OhMagicalUnicornLord I’m unaware of the lore, so I’m assuming that there’s a special type of 3x3 piston door
@beepboop2803 Yeah he has a lot of 3x3 piston doors in his singleplayer series missing the middle block so he can enderpearl through them without opening em up if he feels like it
@beepboop2803yeah the og 3x3 door was done by Etho. But there is no middle block, only the outside blocks are retracted and the middle is empty.
Looks like it’s Etho’s turn with the custody of Bdubs and Scar.
Yeah, and Cleo has gone back to dating Martyn.
@KieferMcHugh-l1u The Family Drama is life
They sent Scott to hi make sure the three didn’t blow up the world without them
That moment when you divorced one guy (Martyn) to get with another guy (Scott) which didn't work out so then you got with a third guy (Etho) and had 2 kids but then you divorced him and now you're back together with the first guy again while the third and second guy got together and the third guy took custody of the kids.
@SpeedyCheetahCub this made me laugh so hard
I hope all fanart of mumbo tango is just tango with a mustache
Like in season 7
Mango 🥭
so glad they brought him back
That was my plan, although I'm also considering adding the s8 red sunglasses as if Mumbo borrowed them to hide his own eyes.
He needs a hat, too.
Mumbo's captured him like Super Mario Odyssey
the boat and lighthouse joke was hilarious! and the fact they realized late made it even better :D
I love that Bdubs originally thought that the answer was arson
Giving Etho redstone in this series must be like giving your artist nephew a pack of colored pencils for Christmas.
"oh, gee, thanks!" *immediately shoves them in the back of the closet with the 5 other packs of varying quality*
playing old minecraft has reawakened his troll instinct
i don't think it ever left
surprised there isnt clay next to the base tbh
Etho having Kakashi as his minecraft skin but now knowing Ghibli is so unreal but its etho so
ifrc he got the skin because it was one of the most detailed skin he could find. He found out about kakashi later on and then watched Naruto. So yeah he's not an anime fan, he just watched a couple
Now knowing Ghibli
It's obvious ragebait guys. he knows but pretends not to because he likes trolling his friends
@navysaw23he watched naruto before picking the skin. source: ep 234
what timestamp does he say it?
Etho casually stealing saddles whenever in a base.
All prepared to create a horse ranch in the 1.6 update
Etho not knowing Ghibli is so surprising and not at all surprising at the same time
Real
I actually think he knows and he was having a laugh. There was this 'sarcastic' etho tone in his voice, when he was speaking. But yeah I think he does know
@Efthee I feel like the way he says, "I'll have to check it out then" sounds pretty genuine, but that's just me
To be fair I didn’t know ghibli until I googled it after watching this
I could've sworn to remember that he mentions Princess Mononoke at some point years ago.
"I've seen some anime"
-Guy who has singlhandedly changed what a Kakashi skin means in minecraft
When Grian showed the "the spot" I immediately knew. What a cool callback
At first I thought it was overlooking the spot where pack.png was screenshoted, but then It snapped that it was actually the panorama. I love how they used this seed
@CZdigger146That was such a cool video. I watched the one SalC did about it
i probably seem dumb but could you explain what they mean? i’ve been trying to find someone that explains it but i can’t
@TheKennykool Its the spot where when you load into Minecraft and you are at the main menu and its doing that slow panorama in the background... this is that place
@HeWhoShams thank you so much!! makes so much more sense now!!
Grian, Gem, Pearl: "We're the villains!!"
Everyone else: "Awww, okay! Whatever you want hun!"
Grian, Gem, Pearl: *kills three people in one episode*
Everyone else: "Poor little baby Villys!"
Etho should drop two diamonds into lava in front of skizz next episode
Blue shiny rocke turn lava blue
genius
I second this
10:58 Probably the most emotive Etho has ever been
New Etho voice flavor just dropped
Ikr, reminiscent to the time Etho killed Joel in limited life
Yeah that surprised me lmao
The immediate mic peak made me giggle for so long lol
Can someone please explained what exactly happened? It seems to me like he just got teleported, but that wasn't possible back then, right?
31:55 Scott’s disappointed sigh when everyone else realized to trust is their strongest tool in the life series. It’s EVERYTHING to me. He sounds like a stressed out parent
scott trying to coparent bdubs and scar with etho has been a highlight of my series I am overjoyed that this team exists
guy who’s been playing and relying on the social game for the entire series as a whole stuck with 3 people who have no understanding of “loyalty”
The sudden juxtaposition at 25:24 between the dark night, the murder, and the running convicts, to... "boy, sugarcane grows fast :D", was certainly something.
Scott in Wildlife: Kills Joel
Etho: Immediately Kills Scott
Joel in Past Life: Kills Scott
Etho: Immediately Kills Joel
Im seeing a pattern here.
If I had nickels...
@Tria3AIR I'm not smart enough to draw a parallel between these since i'm not sure Etho was allied with Joel
10:57 probably the MOST panic Etho has ever displayed
& of course bdubs prompted it
So true! Was about to say the same thing! 😂 I replayed so many times!
57:16 "this is the boogeyman record!" immediately followed by a completely unrelated boogeyman kill at the exact same moment was some spooky coincidental timing. like the disc was actually haunted lmao
this moment is so good
I love how Tango clumsily edited Etho's thumbnail reveal out of Mumbo's footage. Etho literally toggles F1 in the middle of a video all the time to give himself a good thumbnail frame
i dont think it was clumsy editing lol
@crimsonmutt 53:00
I don't think it was clumsy, I think it was meant to get people to watch other videos to see the whole scene
or it was just meant to be really funny
@catboygremlincatboy spotted
@catboygremlin I'm not disparaging Tango lol. Clumsy editing is just the opposite of smooth editing, I'm well aware the man can edit video and did that on purpose
38:55 Etho just casually grabbing the saddle is so funny
Was not expecting the reference at 43:10 lol!! I kinda forgot Etho actually exists on the internet and isnt just block man
The 1x1 hole thing was _way_ later. It was in mindcrack UHC season 12 with Docm and JL2579, which would have been during 1.6 (horse update), long in the future still.
And, iirc, they couldn't get out because any damage was going to be permanent due to UHC, and they didn't want to log out and be accused of cheating
Also a fun fact was Etho was supposed to be Doc's partner yhat season, but slept in or something and missed it which is why JL2579 filled in
Which version are they in?, in this episode
@A590Gaming beta 1.7 i think
@A590Gaming beta 1.7.3
the cut from "good comedic timing bdubs" to the levers being added to the failed double door killed me
50:14 etho knowing that the chests are burning and choosing not to do anything is so hilarious to me
18:57 "LOOKS LIKE THE HAMMER JUST FOUND A NAIL!"
“remember this?” REMEMBER THIS?? you mean the most iconic Mindcrack prank pulled IN HISTORY??? I just know Zisteau’s ears are RINGING right now..
Why can I not find or remember the specific episode of this but it feels familiar
I was also thinking Potato on a Stick.
@clukster1070Mindcrack episode 16 where they pranked Zisteau’s base with paintings and boats
Zisteau's paintings is iconic. However, Guude's Funhouse easily blows it out of the water. Honourable mention is the Vining that Beef's castle suffered.
@Zablan14that’s what I thought but I was not sure as I thought there might have been a more boat heavy prank
9:41 "water bucket drop? *misses* "... it doesn't work, for some reason" Ha!
The whole thumbnail conversation feels illegal even if it is known
I didn't get what was up with that, do people think it's just a random frame from the video? It's obviously not.
@JensJensen-g1g it used to be, but yeah not for a while now
@JensJensen-g1gat this point it’s just a running joke along with being washed up and stuck in the stone ages of Minecraft
When you upload a video, RUclips proposes 3 frames for you to choose as thumbnail. It used to be the case etho would pick one of those, but apparently at some point all 3 proposed images showed spoilers when uploading a UHC vid.
10:57 the genuine alarm in ethos voice is brilliant 😂
Etho knowing how powerful fire was back then
Never heard him react like that lol
It was so adorable
Ive been watching him for years, never heard him do that before, it was genuinely so adorable 😭
Etho fulfilling his duty as the boat dispenser guy is the highlight of this episode 😂
"Tango" and Etho talking about Thumbnails while Impulse is struggling with lava in the background is amazing
The Square Hole joke had me laughing so hard, I love that one too and every time Grian was calling it "The Square Hole" it was all I could think of
This series bringing me back to when I had much less responsibilities IRL
hot take, being an adult sucks
@pvic6959not a hot take at all
@pvic6959coldest take of all time😭
Less responsibility is fun for a limited time. Life will start to feel pointless without some responsibility.
@BigLeBowski4456 fun is the point
I love the fact that this was episode 2 and the boogeyman was introduced in last life which was season 2
I think each session will be a reference to another Life Series, which means Double Life is next.
@KieferMcHugh-l1u I'm not sure how it would work as there are already alliances and then limited life just wouldn't work
@Hundredbasil limited you would just have the boogey again as it was brought back for that season.
@HundredbasilIt would be fun to see how the Double Life pairs would shake things up. Like if players from enemy factions are paired it could lead to some interesting interactions.
Next season there will also be an episode 2
cant believe etho missed seeing all the times the sand pressure plate trap got activated 😭
Like the only time was scar, and it killed no one lol
@moarjank Only time? It happened several times and killed two people at least
ngl when grian said "does this look familliar" i thought it was the location of the "you've been etho'd" statue.
I thought the same thing LOL
50:40 that is like the most casual scathing self roasting comment I've ever heard lmao. If anyone else had said it, I would think it was unintentional.
30:15 don't mess with me in this version
35:56 bdubs and his two nickels of respawing, angry and shouting, at places where etho happens to be in w comedic timing
Bdubs respawning was so funny lmao
ethos about to go on a studio ghibli rabbit hole. when i first discovered it i was obsessed
26:37 I love how etho is gradually getting addicted to Redstone dust, next season will be him just sniffing redstone dust or something XD
The sorrow at the failure of the EATS road...
Same…
Thanks for all the years of incredible videos etho
Every Etho and Gem interaction is so cute, but with Gem's broken voice, it's next level wholesome sibling vibes lol
53:36 “BACK IN THE HOLE, LETS KEEP DIGGING!!” New best Grian quote
44:14 ik this is an emotional gratitude moment but gem really sounding like Tarzan rn
That was Pearl lol
AaAaAaA 🦍🌲 --- Pearl xD
hello wild lmao i binged all your videos a bit ago
That comment's wild lmao
The boat in the wall prank is insane nostalgia
31:05 I've seen some anime
- Etho, who's been using Kakashi skin for over a decade lol
The one thing I hope extends across all versions, is Etho getting redstone as a gift
57:52 Tango accidentally dying and appearing in his own base, having to explain himself and then the genuine confusion of ‘why is everyone here?’
Watching Etho boat up the lighthouse reminds me of early Mindcrack when he did the same to Guude's place. Here's to hoping we get a repeat of the mushroom canopy.
God that gave me flashbacks to the 2 hours of king fo the ladder
That prank war era was so entertaining
Genuinely thought the thumbnail thing was common knowledge. It's super noticable.
In retrospect it is, but starting from the premise that he’s not doing it, any surprisingly good thumbnail can just be hand-waved as the accuracy of the system/luck & you dont think to look back & see the trend (i was a little shocked with how mid they actually are when i used them myself, i guess now ik why). Also, has Etho has gotten better with them overtime? Idk
i knew he deliberately chose specific frames (the world tours especially made it super obvious) but learning he edits the contrast was world shattering
@-FutureTaken- yeah... Sometimes in episodes he mentions he's making a specific shot for the thumbnail. But learning the screenshot part... Shivers!
I don’t get it, what about the thumbnail?
I thought it was obvious that he chose specific frames 😂 but apparently not
I can’t fathom how someone can be unaware of Ghibli but know the square hole meme
etho, actively wearing a kakashi skin: "I've seen some anime..."
the way Etho misses the sand trap Twice reminds me of school fight videos
Biggest surprise of the season thus far is Etho knowing the square hole TikTok. Truly a hip and cool dude 😎
The way there were so many deaths in this episode and only a few were boogy kills
"i saw some animes" says my favorite kakashi cosplayer
"I've seen some anime", said the man that's been dressed as Kakashi from Naruto for the last decade
54:14 I love Etho’s laugh here 😂 kinda reminds me of Zoro’s laugh
Awww that was such a goofy laugh xD etho showing emotion is adorable every single time
Never got to experience these older versions, was too young when they came out, but its so interesting and cool seeing etho use his knowledge of these versions to come up with so much shenanigans lol 😂
Can i get some explaination on "Poophose"... i don't know if i WANT to know, but like.... COME ON!!!
I had a septic hose freeze on me one winter and Scar has been fascinated with it ever since.
@EthosLaboh, that just seems like it happens some winters over there, doesn't it? No particular disasters regarding it?
57:45 Tango spawning in here is just a tad funny a little giggle worthy I think.
It’s was insanely funny.
>He dies, then spawns in his base,
>it’s full of people talking about his death,
>13 is playing in the background like a funeral dirge,
>and then he starts explaining how he died, only to pause and ask why so many people are at his base.
The layers of humor really just melted together so well.
@yesterdaystomorrow5510his exasperated “why is everyone here” cracked me up sm
"why is everyone here?"
11:08 - Scar said he was going to burn less things this season on a hermitcraft stream...yea that lasted lol
Etho turning turning around to the square hole not once but twice was hilarious
I love that a few more people changed their skins to the old ones
1:30 You're watching Eeeethooooo's labbbbb. You're watchinggg Eeeethhoooooo's LABBBBBB!
Why did I read that in Bdouble00's voice?
57:23 the fact that there was a death while playing the “boogyman record” is INSANE
I am surprised they didn’t make a bunch of oak slabs, which don’t burn and are mined with a pickaxe in this version, and rebuild the cabin so it won’t be susceptible to fire.
This series feels like an major anime flashback episode 14 years in the making
6:40 I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY
I'm not capping when I say, ME TOO
Yesss, magical Etho-obsidian 30:00 they reacted exactly as I had hoped!
12:33
10 missed calls from Zisteau.
49:00 Oh, we know, and that's the best kept secret of an Etho fan.
Also, I've been absolutely loving this series so far; it's been so much fun going down memory lane with old MC and seeing you and the other veteran players show off all the fun stuff that was once possible.
The boat pranks take me back to Mindcrack
In old minecraft Etho is a Battle Wizard. Performing magic and defeating everyone in sword combat. It's hilarious and awesome.
Bread was the best food for exploring. A few stacks of wheat + a crafting table meant much more healing per inventory space. If you were pottering around your base then meat was better as you could just restock after healing.
Ah yes, the Zisteau prank from Team Canada. It was actually paintings I think but Etho discovered the boat trick nearing the end
Also, at 40:00, Etho set up a song to notify him of items coming in and went manually to gather them up each time, and here's Tango talking about not being able to move items to unloaded chunks. Tsk, tsk
Those were the days
Etho making time just for gem is so adorable
I've watched a few POVs before this one came out, and every time I'm shocked that The Rejects went straight into the nether in front of their 'enemies' (even inviting them to stay around and fix the boats), and didn't even intentionally come back out from a different portal 😂This series is great!
36:33 just walking by that zombie corpse like he sees that everyday??😭😭
14:15 sounds crazy with etho saying it lol
In two sessions, Etho has killed two players well known for being good at pvp in a pvp fight. He most definitely isn't washed this season.
I also hope he goes on to win this.
I love how the cabin boys have been making allies with literally everyone except the rejects
I'm surprised they went straight to 1.7. I have tons of nostalgia for 1.7 because it felt like the first step into "modern" Minecraft with the introduction of pistons.
If they want to get to present by the finale I’m assuming they’ll have to jump to key updates
5:42 the bromance is strong with these two 💀
10:57 made me cackle, i’ve never heard Etho’s voice reach that octave xD Anyone kinda think he sounds like Prince Zuko from ATLA, or am i delusional
18:40 well I️ mean Etho’s kill is valid even tho Scott had already been killed
its on the borderline but they won’t unkill joel lol. the same thing happened when joel was boogie in last life and tried to kill scott or pearl pretty much
Yeah I don't think there should be any retribution for it but I think in general it should be discouraged, as most people relax after the boogie
I remember so well taking a friend to a very old version where you also couldn't sprint and she went "I can't wait to get Elytras, the normal walking is killing me". Yea buddy I got bad news for you :'D
Etho ragebaiting Scott by saying he doesn't know Studio Ghibli killed me lmao
I didn't realise people *didn't* know the thumbnails were specifically chosen. Especially after the first episode of hermitcraft s8
Also if you just look at the past episodes he looks at the camera in quite alot of them
Or episode two for that matter
Mumbo talking as Tango about Tango helping Mumbo was really confusing
16:00
That's it. End the series. Can't go out on a higher note than this. XD
I literally just showed my kids the circle in the square hole video a few weeks ago! You’re right, it’s such a classic!! Great video as always
53:29 “impulse goes in the square hole”
Etho left the villains for a second and they built the simplest pitfall trap into the one pitfall trap to kill the most Lifers in all the series
I love how Tango cut out so much of the thumbnail conversation like it was some big secret in his perspective
He edits with his tongue a ittle out by the side, and closes one eye every time he adjusts the contrast
1:40 them all trying to avoid saying “why is it so big” 😂
Etho casually stealing saddles from people just to build trust with gem and the villys is so funny 😂
