This is honestly the best way to deal with procrastination. Just start some very big project you'll probably never finish. And then when you ""procrastinate"" by not working on that project, you're actually being productive by working on something else!!
Etho is probably the only one that could pull this off, since its the first edit (besides hard cuts) in a loooong time. Does anyone remember those star shaped transitions?
@@yousawnothin I think that one was a reference to another running joke in the Team Canada series where Beef always had a different nickname "from college" (;
That could fit if the lowercase "t" and "r" are 2 pixels wide instead of 3 and the space between words is 3 pixels (though the text rendering system would probably have to be more complex than Etho wants to make it) and the word "snacks" is on the second line.
@@XDSDDLord I can see it already. He's just giving a summary of the episodes plan and the screen in just in the corner of the screen. You pause to see what it says only to see "Yo Mama".

Wow great episode Etho! The 1-block pixel display problem has been around for so long, and your solution to it is so innovative and creative (and incorporates colors!). Using the innate storage ability of the shulkers to signal their color is also super clever. These past few episodes have really showcased your ingenuity in problem solving and have been some of my favorites in recent memory! I really do appreciate these more technical videos - keep it up!
It amazes me how much logic and engineering has gone into this build. The mechanics of this game and the nuances included in such a creation are very specific but yet impressive. It impresses me how someone (for one) could learn all of the ins and outs of a game to have the ability to express such a design so well. For two: to understand all of the underlying logical concepts, you gotta be SMART to come up with an algorithm this complex on your own. I really admire that. EthosLab is a gift who chooses to express himself through RUclips via Minecraft and other games occasionally. Brilliant person and obviously charished throughout the community. Builds such as the Nexus, innovative farms, enderporters, (BOATS!,) and especially the recent shulker box sorter back this.
@@pvic6959 it's temporary storage. Both cache and ram are that, and we aren't building a real computer here, so it doesn't matter as long as it makes sense.
An uninformed person would say Etho is a man thats playing Minecraft all day but an informed person with IT backround would immediately recognize Etho is a god damn technical genius whos problem solving abilities are absolutely insane. Even if I didnt know about his past (impressive) experiences with programming I would know for a fact that if this man would not be breaking paradigms in Minecraft he would be a brilliant software developer. Thanks for sharing your thought processes with us, Etho!
• deeply amused by that joke about how dark it is in the villager trading hall in the beginning. • "it's a two-way flying machine, so it'll go up and it'll go down." eyyy, just like ladders! • i never noticed how much a dispenser's front looks like a surprised frog. i'll never be able to un-see it now. this pixel screen project is super intriguing and i'm so excited to see where it goes! i'll be honest, redstone is something that has never really stuck in my head very well, so i've always liked that you take the time to explain concepts, especially when you're doing vaguely insane (positive) projects like this one. happy holidays if you celebrate any, Etho, and have a very happy new year 💖
Etho I have watched you for over 10 years now. My life has changed so much in that time. I was a crazy uni student who loved gaming and partying. Now I’m a gainfully employed adult who goes to bed before 10pm every night. But I’ve loved watching you the whole time. I don’t really play minecraft anymore but I still love seeing what you do with the game.
Your observers activate all the dispensers around them (all 5) - the reason it worked the second time and not the first was that your dispensers were blocked by the shulkers that were already dispensed, so only the ones behind the machine (that had just been cleared) could dispense.
Seriously amazing. It's obvious that you're a programmer from the way you approach and discuss the problems. These latest episodes have been truly fantastic, and I'm so delighted you're back on RUclips more regularly. I hope that things are going well with your family.
I think he is going to represent each row with a chest minecart, his display is 27 wide, a chest minecart has 27 slots, and the hopper locking piston tape can easily be made to increment 1 while row at a time. Obviously it introduces rails but i think it will solve a lot of headaches when we reach the ram stage. (I believe a basic chest stack will pull items out in a different order than they went in without locking the in-between hoppers)
Hey, Etho Just want to take a moment to thank you for your content as always but also another moment to thank you for your pre-planning. Building in this game takes so long and we only ever see a fraction of that. I can't imagine the countless horrors of research, preplanning and logistics that goes into this. It's amazing how little we see and how much thought goes in. As always have a great day!
10:33 This is actually a minor variation on my flying machine from ≈5 years ago. Time flies like the slime blocks, eh? Thanks for the videos for all these years! :-)
Me watching this before bed to relax getting blindsided by a technical Etho video, learning cool Minecraft mechanics and getting a big brain before sleep 👁️👄👁️
Etho, this was a much needed episode today. My mom passed early this morning. This helped distract me, and I know you know what it is like. Just keep doing what you're doing, even if it takes a while between videos, they are worth waiting for.
I wish they would make top slabs placeable over redstone and some redstone components (such as repeaters and comparators), which are already under half a block in height. It would allow for more compactable redstone lines if you could literally stack them right on top one another.
This, and if we're allowing a slab over a redstone dust or component, having them occupy the same block, by rights it shouldn't be too hard to imagine dust or components being placed on top of a slab, either, although that might look a little janky in comparison
@@jettthorp9444 Yeah, the issue is having two different blocks within the same block space. Solve that, and you can implement a lot of other stuff. Many mods do that, especially for redstone, cables, and panels. The simplest thing it would allow is two different slabs on top of each other, which I'm pretty sure builders would love. Then just implement vertical slabs and stairs.
@@rudolphbondefangerer5513 You'd technically have twice the density, so I'm wondering if that's the case. However, that's a slab and some redstone component, which together isn't much more than a redstone component alone. It depends on implementation, and if breaking the 1x1x1 grid has a noticeable cost by itself.
Classic Etho. This man just invented the minecraft equivalent of the technicolor television, and this is only one of three "big" projects he has planned? I could only imagine if Etho lived during the time of Babbage (the mechanical computer) or Turing (the birth of modern computers), playing with these primitive logic components just like he plays with redstone. Etho, you always apologize for the redstone heavy episodes, but please keep them coming. I love watching you problem solve and troubleshoot and invent new mechanisms, because it really captures what it probably felt like discovering and inventing our own real world electrical circuits and computer systems from the ground up. I especially love how you aren't trying to copy the way our existing computers work, but developing your projects to take advantage of the innate "physics" of minecraft, like how using binary doesn't make sense when redstone is innately a hexadecimal system, with multiple options of reading and writing metadata into a single block.
This is extremely cool, I’m excited that you’re finally getting to work on it! I love watching big projects develop so I’m looking forward to the process!
hey ethos I just watched the entirety of season 2 of your lets play and I have to say it was interesting seeing your world change and evolve with each update with the constant changing building styles and redstone mechanics, and not to mention watching all the ideas you bring to the game improving as well, i want to thank you for providing such excellent content. thank you muchly
@@leebegaming4130 i think he's going to use chest minecarts to deliver 1 full row at a time (his rows are 27 long, chest hold 27 shulkers) and then increament the entire tape at once, then send the next row by running the next chest cart along. I mainly think the chestcart method will help with speed and reduce complexity at later components like RAM just being an 11 cart storage module per screen.
@@ezrabagel wouldn’t move faster but it would be a harder to time the items. Etho’s way you can just use the same pulse to dispense an item into the hopper and to push the redstone block a few ticks later. I guess the flying machine way could work well too if you hook up a sideline to time the item flow - just different ways of solving a problem
The only problem with that is a lot of the player base is on bedrock on a console or something else where you can't mod. The only mod like thing they have is add ons you purchase through the store, and add ons as are limited in what they can do they don't add things so much as change existing ones. For all those players unless Mojang adds as new block or mob they aren't getting any new things
i had literally been thinking to myself "why is this room so dark was it always like that" right as etho started mentioning it like man you got me good with that gag lmao. the pixel stuff is super cool!! looking forward to seeing where it all goes :) have a happy holidays and wonderful new year, etho!
Hey Etho, been watching for years. Love your content. I study data science and I had some ideas which could reduce the complexity of this Render Project. 1. The dyes, or wool, or glass have a 1 to 1 correspondence with the colors you are trying to represent in the screen. These items do not stack with each other so it is possible to make a true false filter for those items, and receive the pixel color off of 16 true/false questions, asking the shulker for its dye item. 2. The shulker box has (I think) 27 slots, and with one slot identifying the color of box, you can encode information into the other 26 slots for some other purpose. Specifically, you could encode the pixel index in those slots. The screen printer would cycle all shulker boxes until it found the shulker with the correct index, and then it would pass that through to be printed. After, the printer could look for the previous index plus 1, which would then be fed into the printer after. This would allow you to decode a configuration into a randomly positioned list of shulkers which would remember what order they are supposed to be printed in. Then the printer just places the shulkers in reverse index order, and only allowes one shulker per pixel. 3. You could pre-record pixel combinations by using the index system. This would be a bit harder to do than concatinating letters together. Look into space filling curves for details. It is possible to make a system that does this per letter though. See Hilbert Space filling curve, which tries to keep its pixels as close as possible to each other as it is linearized. If you try to linearize a screen by going horizontal, then it will be difficult to merge two letters together at will. All combinations will need to be premeditated. The hilbert curve avoids this. 4. The shulker boxes represent a highly data rich data-type. There are ways to increase the complexity of the true/false questions but then have a dramatic increase in speed. Like colors could be represented by two items instead.
@@Daniel-rd6st the beauty of being a project manager is somebody else finishes it for you. You get to decide who does the fun parts and who does the not fun parts
@@Gibb591 Well then i have been doing it wrong all the time, because for some reason my boss expects me to finish the projects i get assigned to as team leader :p
This new project seems super cool, I’m excited to see where it goes. I started watching this series when I was in elementary school and now I’m in my last year of a computer science degree. It’s super interesting how the big redstone projects are so similar to programming. As always, keep up the great work!
Hahaha ha same here man, started in elementary, now I'm a 2nd semester junior in CS. I haven't watched etho in a while and decided I'd look him up tonight, and I found a gem of a video and good feelings and memories. But applying what I've learned in school to this video is funny and super interesting.
This is already one of my favorite projects you've made! I just want to say I love you taking us through the development process, it makes it much more enjoyable to co-discover what you're doing!
This is really cool, I love hardware design in minecraft. Living up to the channel tagline! For the 1 size pixels using lamps, you could use tripwires triggered by staggered armor stands on pistons. Not as cool as 16 colors though...
I've been really enjoying your recent episodes centering around redstone projects - well rounded content is your forte, but it's particularly nice to hear you geek out while engineering some incomprehensible machine. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these things; take some holiday time off, you deserve it!
This really reminds me how difficult Minecraft is, but how you can slove it by being really creative and smart. It's really satisfying seeing a seemingly impossible problem be sloved. Makes me feel better at playing chess, because I remind myself "this is way easier than the stuff I had to do in Minecraft".
Very surprised I made a comment that's a proper paragraph and not a run on sentence. Minus points for not using the word "Task" instead of "Problem" though.
Accidentally threw my cat when I saw the notification 😅 but I gotta say watching an Etho video to the calming sounds of Midwest snow panicked traffic with a cat on my lap and going 70 on an icy interstate is a soul changing experience
I really like the explanation of this build, usually when people talk about redstone I get confused and it scares me, but this I at least understand all the parts required to make it work
Etho, your content is as magnificent as ever. You have boundless creativity, a jovial and fun personality that can make anything fun, and most importantly, you are genuine. You don't resort to swearing, a false persona, or clickbaiting and trends. You are just yourself, having fun and sharing it with all of us. You don't have to always try outlandish things for every video(though it is clear you enjoy doing so from time to time.) We enjoy your videos because we get to spend time with you. I have enjoyed watching your videos for nearly 13 years now(It is shocking that it's been that long.) I started watching when I was 8, and now I'm 21, you are the only youtuber or show of any kind that has had that amount of staying power or importance to me. Continue to be your incredible self, and enjoy doing it. Sincerely, -Phoenixfury
I think this is my favorite type of Etho video. A redstone problem solving explainer, where it's clear he's thought through all of this way more carefully than I have, and you can see some clever innovation. There were a number of times I thought I could predict how he'd solve a problem, and his solution was way more satisfying than mine.
It means a lot that you picked my comment and yes, I've played modded myself and backpacks and storage bags/sacks you name it, isn't the ultimate solution, just a quality of life feature. Yes you have Shulker Boxes, you can neatly pack your Ender Chest with a lot of items, but you still have to physically place it down in order to access your stuff. Anyway, I hope everything is as good as it can be. Merry Xmas!
No way im sitting in bed thinking of nostalgia you pop in my head and your still posting😂 i thought i would come to see last video 4 years ago or something love to see it
Loved this episode! The way you structured the display explanation was great: Showing the problem and going through possible solutions along with their problems. It lets people who might not be redstone inclined follow along, and it lets those who are redstone inclined try and figure out the solution before you get to it.
00:42 You jerk xD I love that you still like to troll us every now and then. Am I a glutton for punishment? Perhaps… I did watch through the whole episode of boring redstone. j/k It wasn’t boring at all! But now you’ve got me curious about what the other two of The Big Three are! Thanks for all the wonderful content you were able to make this year. Here’s to a better 2023 for you and your family. 🎊
I really struggle with understanding a lot of the bigger concepts with computer science and how a computer works. For Etho to even throw together this proof of concept is just insane. It's just magic to me. Etho is *still* one of the single most impressive people making Minecraft content. So freaking cool
so with the way you have the screen set up, the flying machine activates every dispenser twice, but the first activation gets blocked by the previous shulker box (ie. if you try to go from an empty display to a non-empty, you'll need to double load every dispenser) gotta say, very neat concept, and very satisfying seeing so many complex things come together to make this possible. really really enjoyed the way you presented it too. fantastic video
@@Guasho no like, if there's only 1 shulker box loaded, it will dispense and get broken immediately, leaving nothing on the display. There has to be something on the display beforehand or two shulker boxes loaded
yeah i really hope Etho sees this because otherwise his misinterpretation of the problem (as having multiple boxes in the dispenser) will create issues down the line…
Hey Etho! I have an idea for the input: You have a double chest with stacks of banners with letters (and maybe numbers) on them, you know, arranged like a normal qwertz keyboard. Then you hover over them and press q, that's kinda like typing, and they all go into hoppers, and therefore the text gets sorted in a line. You can do so many things with that.
I am a programmer and I appreciate you using the term "garbage collection" in both the programming sense and the litteral sense 😄. I know you always say that you don't like to show too much redstone, or, "not everybody is into redstone" but my favourite projects of yours are the heavily technical ones. Do you actually see a drop in viewership if you go too technical? Do you feel like you are holding back in that area? Do you wish you could show the process more? I am probably in the minority but I would enjoy it. Kudos to you for being an OG minecrafter still innovating with your blend of technical and creative problem solving to make unique creations. I am so excited to see this one!
Etho you should check out cubicmetre on youtube (we built minecraft's largest storage system and 5 simple storage innovations). He has a shulker box sorter that relies on item stacking and a tileable item encoder that might work for this project. AFAIK every tile supports 54 unique states. His encoder is probably too fast for your display as you're limited by block breaking in your scan lines. He also has methods of breaking and collecting shulkers in a very compact way that might apply to your situation so each individual pixel also clears itself so a scan is a single redstone pulse + 0 tick piston speed + dispenser speed. Idk if you can tile that up and down but it might be possible. It already tiles horizontally for his storage system.
I love seeing projects like this. Some people say sethbling, others will say mumbo, but you'll always be THE Redstone youtuber to me, because of how you incorporate it into your world. Merry Christmas, Etho!
You got me with the fade to black x) Agree, I would love to see them rework inventory (Xisuma showed an interesting mod for that recently, but I really don't know what the best solution would look like), as well as other major systems. Though I would also like to see them add more colored blocks to balance out possible color gradients, some parts of the spectrum are pretty limited. Thank you for the episode, hope you and yours are staying warm and healthy!
etho, you make so many people happy by just uploading. honestly if you stopped uploading there'd be like a big hole in my life. you were such a consistent part of my life for the past 8 years that I don't want to imagine it without you. thanks for doing what you do :)
swear i watched u in 2012, iwatched someone who used all ur farms and ideas and they would always shout u out, i am happy to see ur still grinding and i am glad i found u again
@End Guard I don't remember but it was happening basically the whole time he was explaining his little mock up of the project. The sculk sensor that represented the cpu was going crazy
What an impressive idea and execution! I hardly ever comment but felt like this episode's creativity was above and beyond. I was smiling the whole time you were explaining the big idea with your little models. Keep up the great work, Etho!!
While I constantly see messages from people about how they've quite literally grown up watching you, Etho, I'm a relative newcomer, only having started watching you in the past few years. I remember sort of hearing about you and not really getting why you are so loved (a long time ago). But I can honestly say that now your episodes-in particular, your single-player episodes-are super cosy and relaxing. I like how the way you think about episode frequency (quality over quantity) keeps your episodes great, and now I'm amazed that you're building a pixel display.
Etho is a prime example of giving people the same problem and getting completely different answers: Give Minecraft players the issue of 1block pixels and they resolve it by using a 4 block pixel, but etho just completely reinvents the old fashioned scan screens in the game, bringing about entirely new possibilities for micro computing in Minecraft using shulkers effectively as a hexadecimal (I think, can’t remember how many colours) base instead of the global norm that is binary
There are 16 colors in game so hexadecimal is correct. And after seeing that the height of his screen was limited by piston push limits i think the horizontal of 27 is limited by how much 1 chest minecart can hold since they drop off 1 item per hopper they cross at speed. (If this is the case then he is building the largest display that can actually be made with this technology, but it probably can be tiled to make a display of displays that looks decent from afar, even if it has lines on it from the gaps between displays) At the beginning he mentioned that people have made fully working computers by showing that redstone components are basically just real world electronics but slower. I think he is instead showing that Minecraft's other mechanics can be used to make a much faster computer although it will have other limitations. (But his will be much easier to replicate yourself, and survival friendly)
@@jasonreed7522 I could be wrong, but I am sure you could expand the screen by stacking them horizontally and vertically. That would defintatly increase the complexity of the CPU that needs to render the image, but p sure the screen size is not fixed per se.
@@symoomsaad1024 i think their are 3 ways to expand, the easy way would be to just have bezzels/lines between the displays, the harder way would be to tile the display without bezzels. Either way you would increase the complexity of the other components and may need to adjust the "wiring" of the displays to make it work. I will stand by this being the largest "easy" way to make this display based in the limits of pistons and minecarts.
Hi Etho! I really liked the mockup/circuit diagram you used to show how the system was going to work. I think understanding how the pieces fit together will make it easier to stay with you through the more technical details. Thank you for taking the time to do that!
I love how etho can take something supercomplicated and explain it super simply to where i understand what hes talking about. But still have it be totally over my head.
What a lovely episode to relax with over Christmas :D As an aside, I would love an episode again at some point where we just hang out in the man cave doing odd jobs. Those episodes are always great :) Merry Christmas, Etho!
Hey Etho, Amazing project. A solution to avoid your flying pixel when flying machines go up (and also getting them back easily) is to only break shulker when machines are descending and placing when they're going back up. But, you'll need to pass twice for each screen to display. Also, as other comments say, the flying machines should be called Ladders 😁 Have a great day everyone !
Thank you for the video, Etho!! This video was absolutely crazy, I am blown away! Sooo clever using Shulker Boxes and storing what color they are by adding 'data' inside of them. Really excited for this project! Thank you for everything, I really appreciate you. 💛
I enjoyed this episode a lot, Etho. I hope to see this project come to fruition. I remember when you started the Nexus, and how interesting it is to me. This feels like that.
Here's one example where Bedrock has the advantage. Bud powering of pistons isn't a thing, so you could have a color display with piston tape and sticky pistons behind the tape to push in the colored pixels for your display. Or hell, since the tape is so slow, may as well use concrete powder. If they never removed sandpushers, you'd have been able to move concrete powder as entities very large distances very quickly. And the ram would just be the physical concrete powder blocks stored in a tape. Or for a shulker display it'd be shulkers in a chest which can be moved via flying machine. But honestly, the display is really probably the easiest part of a computer. Creating that cpu will be such a pain. And with a concrete powder display, your storage would be massive haha. It'd just be monoliths of concrete powder of each color; each monolith with as many blocks as you have pixels on your display. I thought your way of filtering colors by filling the pixels themselves was super clever. Each color is it's own ID! Very ingenious. I suspect that's a large reason you chose to use a shulker display.
Just from seeing the thumbnail I knew what you were going to do. It's so simple, I'm almost mad at myself for never coming up with it. Thanks Etho! This is the reason I have been watching your videos for more than 10 years now.
Etho, some of my earliest memories of a child are sitting and watching you play minecraft with vintage beef and pause unpause on the mindcrack server, the inspiration you have brought to my minecraft worlds in unprecedented. Through this time I have grown moved on with my life and that involves taking breaks with minecraft, but whenever I get a little bored and think about the game I grew up on I check youtube out, and undoubtedly there will be new lets play vids out. I know that with me, as well as countless others you have helped our day with a form of entertainment that I don't think can be outmatched. Thank you Etho.
I like how you explained a few of the problems with examples before showing the solutions. Others might say this or that won't work this is what you need to do but they don't explain why the other methods don't work. It makes it better for learning to show and explain why something doesn't work.
episode started out with the fabled “we will return to this project” 😂
(50% chance of abandonment 😢)
This is honestly the best way to deal with procrastination.

Wow great episode Etho! The 1-block pixel display problem has been around for so long, and your solution to it is so innovative and creative (and incorporates colors!). Using the innate storage ability of the shulkers to signal their color is also super clever. These past few episodes have really showcased your ingenuity in problem solving and have been some of my favorites in recent memory! I really do appreciate these more technical videos - keep it up!
Gotta love the etho thinking process
then ive solved a problem tahst been around for a long time in numerous ways?? interesting
my profile image comes from a 1 by 1 pixel display
I dont know how he does it every time he just innovates and innovates.
I had the idea for this concert more than 2 years ago and I have proof of it.
It amazes me how much logic and engineering has gone into this build. The mechanics of this game and the nuances included in such a creation are very specific but yet impressive.
It impresses me how someone (for one) could learn all of the ins and outs of a game to have the ability to express such a design so well.

I'm always amazed at how well I understand this stuff when he talks about it
• deeply amused by that joke about how dark it is in the villager trading hall in the beginning.
• "it's a two-way flying machine, so it'll go up and it'll go down." eyyy, just like ladders!
• i never noticed how much a dispenser's front looks like a surprised frog. i'll never be able to un-see it now.
this pixel screen project is super intriguing and i'm so excited to see where it goes! i'll be honest, redstone is something that has never really stuck in my head very well, so i've always liked that you take the time to explain concepts, especially when you're doing vaguely insane (positive) projects like this one.
happy holidays if you celebrate any, Etho, and have a very happy new year 💖
Etho I have watched you for over 10 years now. My life has changed so much in that time. I was a crazy uni student who loved gaming and partying. Now I’m a gainfully employed adult who goes to bed before 10pm every night. But I’ve loved watching you the whole time. I don’t really play minecraft anymore but I still love seeing what you do with the game.
It's always a good day when etho uploads
So true!
Just in time for the holidays 😊
Seek help
Hey etho, thanks for the shoutout! Flying machines are a headache sometimes, but I’m glad mine worked out for you.
Your observers activate all the dispensers around them (all 5) - the reason it worked the second time and not the first was that your dispensers were blocked by the shulkers that were already dispensed, so only the ones behind the machine (that had just been cleared) could dispense.
Seriously amazing. It's obvious that you're a programmer from the way you approach and discuss the problems. These latest episodes have been truly fantastic, and I'm so delighted you're back on RUclips more regularly. I hope that things are going well with your family.
The modern player: "Shukers are great for storage systems!"
Etho: "So Shulkers are great for displays"
Ah yes, quite simple really.
Future Etho: shulker displays are good for storage.
@@entitledOne imagine tho, "Oh, row 4 is full, that means I have too much gold."
@@entitledOne Future future Etho: Shulker display storages are great for displays.
I think he is going to represent each row with a chest minecart, his display is 27 wide, a chest minecart has 27 slots, and the hopper locking piston tape can easily be made to increment 1 while row at a time.
Obviously it introduces rails but i think it will solve a lot of headaches when we reach the ram stage. (I believe a basic chest stack will pull items out in a different order than they went in without locking the in-between hoppers)
I had the idea for this concert more than 2 years ago and I have proof of it.
Love how Etho replaced the button with a target block later on, to minimize embarrassment.
Hey, Etho
Just want to take a moment to thank you for your content as always but also another moment to thank you for your pre-planning. Building in this game takes so long and we only ever see a fraction of that. I can't imagine the countless horrors of research, preplanning and logistics that goes into this. It's amazing how little we see and how much thought goes in.
As always have a great day!
This project sounds insane and I’m all for it, look forward to seeing it progress
Etho: Lets create an entire computer using shulker boxes.
also Etho: flying machines scare me....
This killed me XD
10:33 This is actually a minor variation on my flying machine from ≈5 years ago. Time flies like the slime blocks, eh?
Thanks for the videos for all these years! :-)
Me watching this before bed to relax getting blindsided by a technical Etho video, learning cool Minecraft mechanics and getting a big brain before sleep 👁️👄👁️
Etho, this was a much needed episode today. My mom passed early this morning. This helped distract me, and I know you know what it is like. Just keep doing what you're doing, even if it takes a while between videos, they are worth waiting for.
im so sorry
@@oliverthomas9524 Thank you.
I wish they would make top slabs placeable over redstone and some redstone components (such as repeaters and comparators), which are already under half a block in height. It would allow for more compactable redstone lines if you could literally stack them right on top one another.
This, and if we're allowing a slab over a redstone dust or component, having them occupy the same block, by rights it shouldn't be too hard to imagine dust or components being placed on top of a slab, either, although that might look a little janky in comparison
@@jettthorp9444 Yeah, the issue is having two different blocks within the same block space. Solve that, and you can implement a lot of other stuff. Many mods do that, especially for redstone, cables, and panels. The simplest thing it would allow is two different slabs on top of each other, which I'm pretty sure builders would love. Then just implement vertical slabs and stairs.
But that would make the game even more laggy? After all, this would put a new block-type in the game.
@@rudolphbondefangerer5513 You'd technically have twice the density, so I'm wondering if that's the case. However, that's a slab and some redstone component, which together isn't much more than a redstone component alone. It depends on implementation, and if breaking the 1x1x1 grid has a noticeable cost by itself.
What about a repeater that's a full block. No splitting the grid, just add a single block that functions as a repeater with a half slab on top
Classic Etho. This man just invented the minecraft equivalent of the technicolor television, and this is only one of three "big" projects he has planned? I could only imagine if Etho lived during the time of Babbage (the mechanical computer) or Turing (the birth of modern computers), playing with these primitive logic components just like he plays with redstone.
Etho, you always apologize for the redstone heavy episodes, but please keep them coming. I love watching you problem solve and troubleshoot and invent new mechanisms, because it really captures what it probably felt like discovering and inventing our own real world electrical circuits and computer systems from the ground up.
I especially love how you aren't trying to copy the way our existing computers work, but developing your projects to take advantage of the innate "physics" of minecraft, like how using binary doesn't make sense when redstone is innately a hexadecimal system, with multiple options of reading and writing metadata into a single block.
I had the idea for this concert more than 2 years ago and I have proof of it.
This is extremely cool, I’m excited that you’re finally getting to work on it! I love watching big projects develop so I’m looking forward to the process!
hey ethos
I just watched the entirety of season 2 of your lets play and I have to say it was interesting seeing your world change and evolve with each update with the constant changing building styles and redstone mechanics, and not to mention watching all the ideas you bring to the game improving as well, i want to thank you for providing such excellent content. thank you muchly
Etho: don't use pistons it'll be a mess
Also Etho: 27:45
I feel like he could’ve used identical flying machines with a red stone block on the other side and it could’ve been really cool
@@leebegaming4130 probably would've moved faster than the hoppers could fill
@@leebegaming4130 i think he's going to use chest minecarts to deliver 1 full row at a time (his rows are 27 long, chest hold 27 shulkers) and then increament the entire tape at once, then send the next row by running the next chest cart along. I mainly think the chestcart method will help with speed and reduce complexity at later components like RAM just being an 11 cart storage module per screen.
@@ezrabagel wouldn’t move faster but it would be a harder to time the items. Etho’s way you can just use the same pulse to dispense an item into the hopper and to push the redstone block a few ticks later. I guess the flying machine way could work well too if you hook up a sideline to time the item flow - just different ways of solving a problem
ethos ideas for what mojang is spot on they should work on the base game for some time and let the modded community do the fancy new mobs and blocks
The only problem with that is a lot of the player base is on bedrock on a console or something else where you can't mod. The only mod like thing they have is add ons you purchase through the store, and add ons as are limited in what they can do they don't add things so much as change existing ones. For all those players unless Mojang adds as new block or mob they aren't getting any new things
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in Minecraft in a LONG time
i had literally been thinking to myself "why is this room so dark was it always like that" right as etho started mentioning it like man you got me good with that gag lmao. the pixel stuff is super cool!! looking forward to seeing where it all goes :) have a happy holidays and wonderful new year, etho!
Hey Etho, been watching for years. Love your content.
I study data science and I had some ideas which could reduce the complexity of this Render Project.
1. The dyes, or wool, or glass have a 1 to 1 correspondence with the colors you are trying to represent in the screen. These items do not stack with each other so it is possible to make a true false filter for those items, and receive the pixel color off of 16 true/false questions, asking the shulker for its dye item.
2. The shulker box has (I think) 27 slots, and with one slot identifying the color of box, you can encode information into the other 26 slots for some other purpose. Specifically, you could encode the pixel index in those slots. The screen printer would cycle all shulker boxes until it found the shulker with the correct index, and then it would pass that through to be printed. After, the printer could look for the previous index plus 1, which would then be fed into the printer after. This would allow you to decode a configuration into a randomly positioned list of shulkers which would remember what order they are supposed to be printed in. Then the printer just places the shulkers in reverse index order, and only allowes one shulker per pixel.
3. You could pre-record pixel combinations by using the index system. This would be a bit harder to do than concatinating letters together. Look into space filling curves for details. It is possible to make a system that does this per letter though. See Hilbert Space filling curve, which tries to keep its pixels as close as possible to each other as it is linearized. If you try to linearize a screen by going horizontal, then it will be difficult to merge two letters together at will. All combinations will need to be premeditated. The hilbert curve avoids this.
4. The shulker boxes represent a highly data rich data-type. There are ways to increase the complexity of the true/false questions but then have a dramatic increase in speed. Like colors could be represented by two items instead.
@@keptleroymg6877 lol never said it was the best way
Merry Christmas Etho and everyone! :) Perfect timing, I've got my snacks.
Hi Jet Lag, Merry Xmas to you too! 👋
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Jet Lag!

Etho would be an amazing project manager
Well, considering how often he actually finishes a project i might see a slight problem :D
@@Daniel-rd6st That's the joke...
@@Daniel-rd6st the beauty of being a project manager is somebody else finishes it for you. You get to decide who does the fun parts and who does the not fun parts
@@Gibb591 Well then i have been doing it wrong all the time, because for some reason my boss expects me to finish the projects i get assigned to as team leader :p
@@Daniel-rd6st haha I mean it's your responsibility but you gotta make somebody else do it
Etho im so glad youre still making videos. i know youre slowing down but you have meant so much to me for about half my life now
God I love sitting here nodding my head excitedly for 35 minutes while etho explains something far beyond my comprehension
This new project seems super cool, I’m excited to see where it goes. I started watching this series when I was in elementary school and now I’m in my last year of a computer science degree. It’s super interesting how the big redstone projects are so similar to programming. As always, keep up the great work!
Hahaha ha same here man, started in elementary, now I'm a 2nd semester junior in CS. I haven't watched etho in a while and decided I'd look him up tonight, and I found a gem of a video and good feelings and memories. But applying what I've learned in school to this video is funny and super interesting.
This is already one of my favorite projects you've made! I just want to say I love you taking us through the development process, it makes it much more enjoyable to co-discover what you're doing!
This is really cool, I love hardware design in minecraft. Living up to the channel tagline!
For the 1 size pixels using lamps, you could use tripwires triggered by staggered armor stands on pistons. Not as cool as 16 colors though...
That's a really clever idea. I never even considered using trip wires, but that is most likely a better solution than using observer clocks.
I've been really enjoying your recent episodes centering around redstone projects - well rounded content is your forte, but it's particularly nice to hear you geek out while engineering some incomprehensible machine. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these things; take some holiday time off, you deserve it!
I don't know how you done it. This is pretty incredible. Really looking forward to this project man.
This really reminds me how difficult Minecraft is, but how you can slove it by being really creative and smart. It's really satisfying seeing a seemingly impossible problem be sloved. Makes me feel better at playing chess, because I remind myself "this is way easier than the stuff I had to do in Minecraft".
Very surprised I made a comment that's a proper paragraph and not a run on sentence. Minus points for not using the word "Task" instead of "Problem" though.
Accidentally threw my cat when I saw the notification 😅 but I gotta say watching an Etho video to the calming sounds of Midwest snow panicked traffic with a cat on my lap and going 70 on an icy interstate is a soul changing experience
Great video! The project seems very complicated, but the way etho explained it I actually understood all the redstone (for the moment)
I really like the explanation of this build, usually when people talk about redstone I get confused and it scares me, but this I at least understand all the parts required to make it work
Etho, your content is as magnificent as ever. You have boundless creativity, a jovial and fun personality that can make anything fun, and most importantly, you are genuine. You don't resort to swearing, a false persona, or clickbaiting and trends. You are just yourself, having fun and sharing it with all of us. You don't have to always try outlandish things for every video(though it is clear you enjoy doing so from time to time.) We enjoy your videos because we get to spend time with you. I have enjoyed watching your videos for nearly 13 years now(It is shocking that it's been that long.) I started watching when I was 8, and now I'm 21, you are the only youtuber or show of any kind that has had that amount of staying power or importance to me. Continue to be your incredible self, and enjoy doing it.
Sincerely,
-Phoenixfury
etho!! I’ve been having such a fun day so far and your upload just made it 100x more better!! also happy holidays!!
I think this is my favorite type of Etho video. A redstone problem solving explainer, where it's clear he's thought through all of this way more carefully than I have, and you can see some clever innovation. There were a number of times I thought I could predict how he'd solve a problem, and his solution was way more satisfying than mine.
It means a lot that you picked my comment and yes, I've played modded myself and backpacks and storage bags/sacks you name it, isn't the ultimate solution, just a quality of life feature. Yes you have Shulker Boxes, you can neatly pack your Ender Chest with a lot of items, but you still have to physically place it down in order to access your stuff.
Anyway, I hope everything is as good as it can be.
Merry Xmas!
No way im sitting in bed thinking of nostalgia you pop in my head and your still posting😂 i thought i would come to see last video 4 years ago or something love to see it
This is gonna be a fun project. I can feel it.
Loved this episode! The way you structured the display explanation was great: Showing the problem and going through possible solutions along with their problems. It lets people who might not be redstone inclined follow along, and it lets those who are redstone inclined try and figure out the solution before you get to it.
00:42 You jerk xD
I love that you still like to troll us every now and then. Am I a glutton for punishment? Perhaps… I did watch through the whole episode of boring redstone.
j/k It wasn’t boring at all! But now you’ve got me curious about what the other two of The Big Three are!
Thanks for all the wonderful content you were able to make this year. Here’s to a better 2023 for you and your family. 🎊
Hello fellow subscriber. Redstone is boring at first but once you get to know it there's a lot of lessons that translate to real life electronics.
@@markm0000 Dude, you sound like a bot in this comment lol
(I know you’re not.)
So unbelievably excited to see this display project come together! I always love seeing you work on complex redstone passion projects.
Etho: What else changes in this game that is also in color?
Me, with confidence: Beacons!
Etho: Concrete Powder.
Me: oh.
I really struggle with understanding a lot of the bigger concepts with computer science and how a computer works. For Etho to even throw together this proof of concept is just insane. It's just magic to me. Etho is *still* one of the single most impressive people making Minecraft content. So freaking cool
so with the way you have the screen set up, the flying machine activates every dispenser twice, but the first activation gets blocked by the previous shulker box
(ie. if you try to go from an empty display to a non-empty, you'll need to double load every dispenser)
gotta say, very neat concept, and very satisfying seeing so many complex things come together to make this possible.
really really enjoyed the way you presented it too. fantastic video
It would only be a problem if there were multiple shulkers in the dispenser, but I think the way Etho is going it will only have one at a time
@@Guasho no like, if there's only 1 shulker box loaded, it will dispense and get broken immediately, leaving nothing on the display. There has to be something on the display beforehand or two shulker boxes loaded
@@gavi_guy mhmm okay I see what you’re saying
yeah i really hope Etho sees this because otherwise his misinterpretation of the problem (as having multiple boxes in the dispenser) will create issues down the line…
You could fix this by just adding a black screen as the last image and not reset it until the next time an image is loaded
23:50 I love this mini representation! And the whole video 😉
Hey Etho! I have an idea for the input:
You have a double chest with stacks of banners with letters (and maybe numbers) on them, you know, arranged like a normal qwertz keyboard. Then you hover over them and press q, that's kinda like typing, and they all go into hoppers, and therefore the text gets sorted in a line. You can do so many things with that.
I am a programmer and I appreciate you using the term "garbage collection" in both the programming sense and the litteral sense 😄. I know you always say that you don't like to show too much redstone, or, "not everybody is into redstone" but my favourite projects of yours are the heavily technical ones. Do you actually see a drop in viewership if you go too technical? Do you feel like you are holding back in that area? Do you wish you could show the process more? I am probably in the minority but I would enjoy it. Kudos to you for being an OG minecrafter still innovating with your blend of technical and creative problem solving to make unique creations. I am so excited to see this one!
Etho you should check out cubicmetre on youtube (we built minecraft's largest storage system and 5 simple storage innovations). He has a shulker box sorter that relies on item stacking and a tileable item encoder that might work for this project. AFAIK every tile supports 54 unique states. His encoder is probably too fast for your display as you're limited by block breaking in your scan lines. He also has methods of breaking and collecting shulkers in a very compact way that might apply to your situation so each individual pixel also clears itself so a scan is a single redstone pulse + 0 tick piston speed + dispenser speed. Idk if you can tile that up and down but it might be possible. It already tiles horizontally for his storage system.
Merry Christmas Etho! I've been watching for almost half my life, and I wouldn't be who I am without you. Have a good Christmas and a happy new year.
I love seeing projects like this. Some people say sethbling, others will say mumbo, but you'll always be THE Redstone youtuber to me, because of how you incorporate it into your world.
Merry Christmas, Etho!
Hey etho, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate all your videos. Best Christmas gift to have a fresh Ergo Episode!
Very excited for this project! Your enthusiasm shines through the video and it's the classic technical Etho video we all know and love!
My day was so good so far and it just got EVEN BETTER when I saw an Etho upload 😅
You got me with the fade to black x) Agree, I would love to see them rework inventory (Xisuma showed an interesting mod for that recently, but I really don't know what the best solution would look like), as well as other major systems. Though I would also like to see them add more colored blocks to balance out possible color gradients, some parts of the spectrum are pretty limited.
Thank you for the episode, hope you and yours are staying warm and healthy!
etho, you make so many people happy by just uploading. honestly if you stopped uploading there'd be like a big hole in my life. you were such a consistent part of my life for the past 8 years that I don't want to imagine it without you. thanks for doing what you do :)

@@thesaxiest4480 oh okay thank you though
What an impressive idea and execution! I hardly ever comment but felt like this episode's creativity was above and beyond. I was smiling the whole time you were explaining the big idea with your little models. Keep up the great work, Etho!!
Me: "I wonder what Etho is gonna work on this episode"
Etho: "Lets make a computer"
Me: "Ah, classic Etho"
While I constantly see messages from people about how they've quite literally grown up watching you, Etho, I'm a relative newcomer, only having started watching you in the past few years. I remember sort of hearing about you and not really getting why you are so loved (a long time ago). But I can honestly say that now your episodes-in particular, your single-player episodes-are super cosy and relaxing.
I like how the way you think about episode frequency (quality over quantity) keeps your episodes great, and now I'm amazed that you're building a pixel display.
Etho is a prime example of giving people the same problem and getting completely different answers:
Give Minecraft players the issue of 1block pixels and they resolve it by using a 4 block pixel, but etho just completely reinvents the old fashioned scan screens in the game, bringing about entirely new possibilities for micro computing in Minecraft using shulkers effectively as a hexadecimal (I think, can’t remember how many colours) base instead of the global norm that is binary
There are 16 colors in game so hexadecimal is correct. And after seeing that the height of his screen was limited by piston push limits i think the horizontal of 27 is limited by how much 1 chest minecart can hold since they drop off 1 item per hopper they cross at speed. (If this is the case then he is building the largest display that can actually be made with this technology, but it probably can be tiled to make a display of displays that looks decent from afar, even if it has lines on it from the gaps between displays)
At the beginning he mentioned that people have made fully working computers by showing that redstone components are basically just real world electronics but slower. I think he is instead showing that Minecraft's other mechanics can be used to make a much faster computer although it will have other limitations. (But his will be much easier to replicate yourself, and survival friendly)
@@jasonreed7522 I could be wrong, but I am sure you could expand the screen by stacking them horizontally and vertically. That would defintatly increase the complexity of the CPU that needs to render the image, but p sure the screen size is not fixed per se.
@@symoomsaad1024 i think their are 3 ways to expand, the easy way would be to just have bezzels/lines between the displays, the harder way would be to tile the display without bezzels. Either way you would increase the complexity of the other components and may need to adjust the "wiring" of the displays to make it work.
I will stand by this being the largest "easy" way to make this display based in the limits of pistons and minecarts.
Hi Etho! I really liked the mockup/circuit diagram you used to show how the system was going to work. I think understanding how the pieces fit together will make it easier to stay with you through the more technical details. Thank you for taking the time to do that!
Lmao I missed the notification and I saw the thumbnail and went “wait, I don’t recognize that thumbnail.” New episode explains it!
I love how etho can take something supercomplicated and explain it super simply to where i understand what hes talking about. But still have it be totally over my head.
5:25 from pistons to this reminds me of being in maths lessons
What a lovely episode to relax with over Christmas :D As an aside, I would love an episode again at some point where we just hang out in the man cave doing odd jobs. Those episodes are always great :) Merry Christmas, Etho!
Etho using flying machines is so cursed 😭😭
Hey Etho,
Amazing project. A solution to avoid your flying pixel when flying machines go up (and also getting them back easily) is to only break shulker when machines are descending and placing when they're going back up. But, you'll need to pass twice for each screen to display.
Also, as other comments say, the flying machines should be called Ladders 😁
Have a great day everyone !
ETHO YOU ROCK!
we need the OG back
havent seen him in years
@@benjaminbazi9355 im glad some of us still remember him! Iirc i think he went by iChinneyAce
Thank you for the video, Etho!! This video was absolutely crazy, I am blown away! Sooo clever using Shulker Boxes and storing what color they are by adding 'data' inside of them. Really excited for this project! Thank you for everything, I really appreciate you. 💛
Lmao! I turned up my brightness because i thought it was too dark before I realized it was a bit lol
I enjoyed this episode a lot, Etho. I hope to see this project come to fruition. I remember when you started the Nexus, and how interesting it is to me. This feels like that.
Etho your creativity inspires me
All those years ago, watching his first vid at my grandparents house on my gramas laptop and all that led to this. Beautiful
Always a great day when Etho uploads a video!
There is a trick in redstone: if you are tight on space, you can usually just extend things out further and take up more space
--- Etho, 2022
god dammit that darkness bit at the beginning actually had me pause and check my damn monitor
Scanlines and framebuffers. It's a CRT display in Minecraft. Nice!
Here's one example where Bedrock has the advantage. Bud powering of pistons isn't a thing, so you could have a color display with piston tape and sticky pistons behind the tape to push in the colored pixels for your display. Or hell, since the tape is so slow, may as well use concrete powder.
If they never removed sandpushers, you'd have been able to move concrete powder as entities very large distances very quickly. And the ram would just be the physical concrete powder blocks stored in a tape. Or for a shulker display it'd be shulkers in a chest which can be moved via flying machine.
But honestly, the display is really probably the easiest part of a computer. Creating that cpu will be such a pain. And with a concrete powder display, your storage would be massive haha. It'd just be monoliths of concrete powder of each color; each monolith with as many blocks as you have pixels on your display.
I thought your way of filtering colors by filling the pixels themselves was super clever. Each color is it's own ID! Very ingenious. I suspect that's a large reason you chose to use a shulker display.
Just from seeing the thumbnail I knew what you were going to do. It's so simple, I'm almost mad at myself for never coming up with it. Thanks Etho! This is the reason I have been watching your videos for more than 10 years now.
Yeah!!! Another wonderful day with another wonderful Etho video!! You are the best and I hope you and everyone has a great holiday season!
Etho, some of my earliest memories of a child are sitting and watching you play minecraft with vintage beef and pause unpause on the mindcrack server, the inspiration you have brought to my minecraft worlds in unprecedented. Through this time I have grown moved on with my life and that involves taking breaks with minecraft, but whenever I get a little bored and think about the game I grew up on I check youtube out, and undoubtedly there will be new lets play vids out. I know that with me, as well as countless others you have helped our day with a form of entertainment that I don't think can be outmatched. Thank you Etho.
On the next episode: Etho implements OpenGL inside Minecraft
I like how you explained a few of the problems with examples before showing the solutions.
Others might say this or that won't work this is what you need to do but they don't explain why the other methods don't work. It makes it better for learning to show and explain why something doesn't work.
