The call out on Solar Roadways is godlike. Honestly your comment there is on the level of "get your snacks". Well done.
It was pretty great, what a dumb fucking idea.
I didn't know that Etho watched Thunderf00t xD
+Conker Plays solar roadways is an actual project irl lol
there is alot of factors preventing it like economic, and damage as well as rubber and other things left by cars if they made it thermal I think it would make more sence
Just a random commenter i dunno why but it reminds me of the donkey cart
I like the satire on the solar roadways thing.
Yep soo good, he's been doing satire more. I think it's how his humor works, I really like it :D
Bk Big Fish lol I like it
Bk Big Fish shut up and take my money!! lol love his humor
explanation please? I don't get the joke :(
whats the timestamp
For detecting full shulker boxes, just detect when the hopper above it is filling up, which shouldn't happen when there's still space in the box below.
Xplosio Lee then the issue is what if there's still items in the box above and no more empty shulker boxes?
+hakobo1327 well then the box becomes the empty one the idea is to cram all of your items into as few boxes as possible
Yes and Its impossible to have no empty space at all as there are no new items going in and if all the spaces are full then the system is useless but I'd there is no space in the bottomone and no boxes questions then boxes in the que for the top go to the bottom one at a time and if there is only one at the top then the system is done
hakobo1327 well then youd check the hopper filling it up and if the redstone signal doesnt change it will push the box?
That makes sense, because if the hopper fills up to a certain extent, then it can't put items into the box bellow.
Hey Etho, if you see this please have a read!
I have a really simple idea you could use to search for items in the Pixel that don't stack to 64
You could still search for items like armour or things that stack to 16 like ender pearls, you'd just need to store them in specific box/boxes dedicated for that type of item only, and sacrifice one storage slot in the box for a "ticket" like the ones you were using for railway logic the other week.
"Tickets" being any renamed object that stacks to 64.
With this approach you could have a "God Armour" box, or a "God Sword" box that you can search for by using a ticket instead of the actual item.
These "Ticket boxes" would be better off exempt from the defragging system to keep them filled with relevant items only, so you'd need to fill up the empty slots.
You could just use 27 tickets per box to fill up the empty slots when the chest isn't full, then as you fill it up start combining the ticket stacks until there's only one left.
Darn. I thought I was the only one with this idea.
You could use sticks and call them "stickets".
hahaha stickets :P
I was thinking paper at first, but I reckon using coloured wool would make it a bit easier to find the ticket you're looking for before you drop it into the system.
Otherwise you'd need to look through a tonne of stick/paper tool tips to find the right one.
True. Wool would be better, but you couldn't call them stickets.
That's a good point

"I must have sucked at redstone when I built this!"
so, normally when i sub to someone, i binge watch their entire series, i dont think i can do that with this series XD
YSquared, Yobozo haha I've binged it since the start, etho is my life therefore binging is my life
Last year he was posting like 4 LPs a week on average lmao, now I feel lonely when there are no new episodes :(.
YSquared, Yobozo I binge watched all 300 episode over a whole summer.
xD I did that... it takes a hell of a long time. And I did it when he was around 200 episodes...
i did that when i subscribed about 4 years ago xD
To detect when the shulker box being filled is full, you can use a comparator on the hopper that's filling it. When the hopper fills up too much, that's when you know.
Edit: You could alternatively add a chest buffer in between the shulker boxes, instead of just a hopper. That way you could detect the chest filling instead, which would be more reliable.
I kept on thinking that. Kudos to someone who thought of it too.
This is affected by the same problem, though. If there's one each of 5 different items, it will still only give a signal of one.
DragonGodGrapha Ah yes, let me edit my comment...
The chest would have this issue too...
betterthanboss Sure, if you somehow get 27 unique items, in stacks of 1. Which seems quite unlikely, tbh.
So it’s currently 2023 I’m very I’ll atm and needing something to watch so watching so long d Etho episodes I love minecraft and wish I was well enough to sit up and play myself, I canypt right now but watching go players like Etho and scar and bdubs helps the time of pain and suffering go by, it amazes me that people loved and played this game when it was is still such an early state. I love the modern game and find it hard to imagine playing the game in this early stage but massive props to those that led the way for the res of us,thank you for sticking with this wonderful game while it was in it’s early state. Personally I’m very grateful Thankyou GG and xx
I know the solar roadway was a joke, but it looks damn good, I think it might go well with futuristic / clean look of clay blocks
omg etho do a face reveal using the shulker monitor
I think you'd get etho'd if he did that
JimmyGemStone hahaha😄😄😄
Yes
Yes XD
YEAS !!
Defragger? I hardly know her!
You totally set me up for that one didn't you, Etho.
Jet Lag sorry to say Jet, but you've made that joke too many times.
Etho's Got yo back! (As long as you get yo snacks!)
+Zain Dhanani I can't help it. I love that joke so much.
you can only say that as a snack getter
You are downright charming Etho. The intro to your roadways... just excellent :)
You can figure out if the shucker box is full by trying to put a name tag with a custom name into it. If it won't go in than the box is full but if I does go in the box is not full and you can take the name tag out with an item filter. Stay awesome I love your videos!
As a long time subscriber, I give you permission to increase the amount of entities per block space using cheats.
He might as well spawn in experience bottles then.
Patrick Ghandour he practically already does that with the donut pigman farm...
I disagree; he worked to build those farms; he shouldn't be punished by a possibly temporary change.
Harambe but that takes time, limiting what Etho is willing to do with exp
+Patrick Ghandour To be honest, it might easily be faster than spamming XP bottles.
Etho! For team Canada's next thing to do, y'all should play the ctm map "Overload" it is TikaroHD's second map! Y'all played his first, Animosity. I think y'all will really enjoy it! I know I did!
please continue working on this project, very interesting and rewatchable
When you mention ed the world tour, I forgot that new people watched you etho, I remember I starting watching you about 2 weeks before you started this world... That was about 5 years ago I believe. Thats crazy
Bryce Jonathan i originally found etho when he was around episode 180-200, but i never actually followed the lets play. i just saw one of his videos in my recommended every now n then
about episode 250 something for me. He was working on the old pigman farm... ahh memories
Lots of great episodes/great memories. Etho is the only minecraft youtuber that I watch consistently as I rarely play minecraft anymore but still love watching ethos videos.
Same! But I occasionally play modded and only modded.
Yeah when I do play I play modded, do you have any mods that you really like and would recommend checking out that are not well known?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this series, its the one I wait for EVERYDAY. I refresh all the time hoping for it to pop up.
Etho, I loved your spoof on the solar roads! Keep up the great videos and thanks for the entertainment.
Etho, for your "Pixel" project you can search for 16 stack items or non stackables, all you have to do is name a piece of paper named "Armor" (or whatever you want to search for) in the search and in the chest contains that item. Home that helps!
OMG! Etho I was playing on my world after this video saying, good job Mojang you ruined Etho's World, then it hit me. What you could do for your blaze spawner is make multiple killing chambers close enough for potion splash damage to take out the blazes. There are two tracks right now leading to one output of blazes, instead make two outputs for max blazes. Its just a thought and I hope this may help :D
SmartAlek 5 while that is possible it'd take a lot of re-wiring and ethos would pretty much have to redo the whole thing i believe.
Ether 101 Actually instead of routing the blazes to one output just make one track go to one output and the other track to a different output. Then he can have one light meter for two outputs, after the chambers are full he can kill the blazes in one hit with a potion.
The light meter uses a weighted pressure plate, it would be hard to merge the two into one meter.
commandblockguy For that make the meter a ten block wide meter so each pressure plate makes to go up 5. Etho can make it to where he wont have to do much re-wiring.
commandblockguy Can't you use a comparator for that?
To figure out if your box is full, you could check if the box being emptied still contains items and the hopper isn't putting anything else in the box. That would indicate that either the box being filled is completely full, or has no more room for whatever items the hopper is trying to put into it. Hope this helps!
The solar roadway beginning was glorious!
I'm so glad Etho doesn't buy into the horrible logical fallacy that is solar roadways.
THEY WILL MELT THE SNOW ON TOP OF THEM!
48 seconds into Minecraft and chill with Etho and my mind is blown
To detect non-stackable items, you could have a single item in the first slot of a shulker box renamed "armor" or something and have a corresponding item in the search engine. I think that would allow you to retrieve stackable items.
Woah I just randomly decided to go back to the first video I ever saw of Etho and it has been exactly 4 years to the day. I remember seeing him blow up his world and thinking "who the heck is this guy?" and ever since then I've been hooked. I've always loved your videos Etho, so just keep doing what you're doing and making great stuff! :)
on the defragger, could you use an observer block to detect when a new box is placed, which would also work for empty ones? Also you could not put a comparator on the box that gets filled, but rather on the hopper above it and when that gets filled (say to a length of 2 on the comparator, then you know the box is full as It's not accepting more items. It's a bit ghetto and adds a wait time but it might work.
for the problem of empty box in the defragger, maybe try to add 1 item to any box that the dispenser dispenses if that makes any sense.Keep being amazing :)
i just finished watching the finale for skyblock
Magik_Chocobo same
TachiWorks you're right, my bad
Same
M. de k. Dude he knows stop spamming
M. de k. He was already corrected look above
115 Episodes left untill I catch up. Both happy that I can watch the new videos and sad that my 1 year journy to watch through the video is coming to an end. Its bittersweet.
call the first system "explorer". As a reference to internet explorer, you can search for stuff but it takes some time.
If you do a faster system call it "chrome"
nah, call it FISM (fast item search machine)
Only if the faster system is a few hundred blocks bigger than it needs to be. Otherwise call it "firey".
Internet explorer isn't slower, if you use it correctly.
If you design the best system in existence, call it "Edge."
Etho you could have the Pixel search for armour. All you would have to do is name an item "armour" and put that in the shulker box that contains armour and in the search chests. Then when you want armour you use the search item named "armour".Hopeful you see this Etho and keep up the great content.
Wow, I started watching etho when I was in 4th-5th grade... I'm in 10th grade now... That's crazy.
ALSO I NEED A FACE REVEAL PLEASE ITS BEEN LIKE 7 YEARS!!!
Damon Humble yeah man I have watched him for like 5 years I remember the mine crack and all those series pretty of fan
Damon Humble Ikr its been a crazy ride
Damon Humble 0_o same thing here
Damon Humble you think that's crazy, I'm graduating college and I'm still watching. It's been great, huh?
To divide the objects into categories you could have "guide" shulker boxes with one of each object of a category. Then you would search first in those boxes only and then in the corresponding category. To uderstand to which category a shulker box belongs to I see two ways: one is to have them in separate chests so by knowing from where the guide came from you'd know their category (you would have to have different columns of chests for each category so it wouldn't take up too much space), and the other idea is to have a named object for each guide box, and after you matched your item you'd have to cycle the named objects and compare them to find out the category. Hope it helps, you're awesome! (Dividing objects into categories would make the defragger a bit more complicated, but I'm sure you could do it)
Oh my god, Etho! I haven't laughed as heartly and much in a long time as I did to your Solar roadway idea skit! :'D Thank you.....thank you very much for making my day alot brighter! :'D Best regards from Norway! ^^
I've never heard Etho go so savage before as he did in that solar roadways section my goodness
Defrag by merging the same block in seperate shulker boxes and then checking with a comp how much block space is left if two added together are less then the max signal of 15 then merge the shulker boxes inventory thus requiring less of them sorting the empty ones out
This is not as effective as eliminating all free space but it will be close enough and also will keep all items in the same shulker boxes (all cobble is in one or two boxes instead of it being in many different ones)
There is still the problem of having little item count in shulker boxes
But maybe that can be solved in the meantime by adding a constant number that increases over time so that the Defragger atleast isnt stuck
You could also try to Defrag thoose wich are below a certain signal strength to be sorted out and maybe have 2 tags for the boxes already Ones that are filled with many of the same item and thoose that have many different but less items overall
chadoftoons dang how much research did you have to do
Or he's just really smart.
Now in 2022 he's started the shulker box display he mentions in the beginning of this video. Cool!
XD been watching thunderfoot' videos about these *Solar Freakin Roadways!* for years
same, i am resisting just posting the links XD
Tim T. SAME 😂😂😂
Etho, you could totally search for 16x stacks or even unstackables, all you have to do is make an "id tag", make paper labeled with "ender pearl" "egg" or even whole sets, like "food" and bam! Your not searching for the item, just the label thats with them in the box
simplifiedApocalypse this would also work to shorten the search, as he could tag each box with what is in it or what it's for.
Etho, I have farms similar to yours, and what I did for the sake of my world, is since I don't like the game rule either, I just set the number to 1000 so that I wouldn't have to deal with it again. (Most likely.) You should do this too. Just open to LAN, allow cheats, do command, quit to title to disable cheats.
That's the problem, he's gotta enable cheats. For a long time, he's wanted to keep from using commands in his world, and he knows that some of his subs could get upset about it. Heck, there's other comments arguing about it.
Personally, I think it's kinda stupid that he's gotta make a choice like this (use cheats, make heavy renovations, or leave it) for this change. Maybe it'll even be a temporary thing, and Mojang will revert the change in a future snapshot or update.
you can just set it to 0 and it will turn off
Dan Dubz huh. interesting! I didn't know that!
Cory Holmes-Sanderson Yeah, i know
Watching Etho do item sorting 6 years ago, my current favorite Minecraft sub topic, is so heartwarming
You're currently using a linear search on an unsorted set of items, which is order N time complexity, so the only way increase performance (asymptotically) is to divide the problem. While your category idea would indeed speed this up by dividing the problem, it would also require you to make sure that every box contains only items from a single category, which could be annoying. A potentially easier solution would be to simply make multiple redstone 'searchers' and split the boxes evenly among them, allowing you to test several boxes simultaneously, each one you add would divide the problem the same way adding groups would, without the additional overhead. This would be comparable to adding additional cpu cores to a system.
This. linear searching is very slow. Also if you could determine some sorting system for common items and more full boxes. checking boxes with one or two stacks isn't usefully until you need ever copy of an item. using a tier method would speed this up. also, it is much larger and resource heavy, but whatever. any form of optimization will help this.
Haven't watched your channel for about two years and I regret it now I just came back! Loved the video!
Etho, why not have it when a shulker box enters the system it is emptied and the items organised into other shulker boxes based on categories. Though it would increase the time for the items to enter the system, it should also reduce the time for items to leave the system. plus using the defragger system or some version of the sorting system Xisuma used in season 3 Hermitcraft for his storage system should fix a lot of the other problems you mentioned in this episode.
^^ great, and also recycle the empty shulker boxes into the defragger system!
It's really hard to make categories with item filters. A search engine with categories is like Google asking you what kind of thing you want to search before you actually type anything. It makes the interface really awkward.
Google already asks you what category you want to search. All, images, videos, news, maps, etc. It also organized the tabs based on number of results.
i love the pixel shulker box system. Please build this to perfection! I hope your day is going well.
I died when he said "charge your horse" 😂😂😂😂
The point of the defragger is to organize your shulker boxes and eliminate waste, it may take a while to run but you would not have to run it very often. You could implement the search filter to put the same items together in a box. This would eliminate waste when items are spread around in multiple boxes. You should also send the empty boxes from the top down to the bottom to be filled if need be, that way the system can be kickstarted with only one empty box. If the bug with comparators and with shulker boxes and dispensers were to be fixed (dont know if it has or not already) you could get a signal directly from the boxes to determine space.
Also if you get enough boxes it might be worth it to install more search systems as, although the startup and shutdown/return time might be longer, the time spent searching would be a lot lower. If you get the degragger working in the way i suggested above there the search could also be shortened as all items that were the same would be stored in the same chest(s); you would have to store them in an order though.
30 more episodes until the face reveal... hype
Asphalt when did he say that?
?
I said that, not him. It would kinda be fair that he does that. I mean we are with him for 5 years and he didn't show his face yet...
+Asphalt It's his choice though. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to.
some people just dont want their face out there for identity and personal reasons
+EthosLab You can turn it off using the command:
/gamerule maxEntityCramming 0
Bobster I think he doesn't want to "cheat" in his world, keeping it 100% vanilla.
Bobster it's his survival world, he won't use commands
Bobster
When Etho builds his minecraft programmable computer with pixel display I think we all know what he should use it for: another attempt at frogger of course
Well it's a forced change applied across all worlds by default. It isn't a mechanics change, it's just a gamerule addition that has been applied by default that changes the world immediately. If it was set to 0 by default, then everything would be fine on it's own.
Bobster
This intro made Minecraft great again!
I think it's funny how I started watching you when you made your first capture the wool video, only to see you get recruited by Mindcrack, which was the most popular Minecraft RUclipsr group of the time, and then watch you grow to be larger than any of them. Slowly watching the Mindcrack members channels die, and the community shrink, first hearing you were leaving Mindcrack and thinking to myself there's no way it's true..(and it was). Now you are not only THE BEST mindcracker still making videos, but you also have the most views per video than any of them. The craziest part of this all was when your channel exploded, you were the first mindcracker to get 1 million subs! I loved that new intro that was made for your celebratory video:) you quickly grew to 1.8mil after that, and then your growth pretty much COMPLETELY stopped and you gained basically zero subs over the course of 2 years. I have a theory of why that is.
Every one who is interested in your content is already subscribed to you. You're reaching every single person who could potentially be in your audience and ALL of those people continue to watch your videos to this day. I have never in my life seen somebodys subs basically not grow whatsoever for 2 years, and yet constantly get 50k-300k views on all of your videos you upload. Just know, etho, that although I rarely watch your videos nowadays, and pretty much don't watch Minecraft at all, as I'm in 10th grade now, you are the best, kindest, most genuine RUclipsr alive. Thank you etho for all you do for your fans:)
Damon Humble lol I'm 27 and watch this series, age doesn't matter if you enjoy the content. I really don't play minecraft either unless my gf wants to play so I'm not a huge minecraft person nor do I play on pc.
Damon Humble ... I still watch every episode I'm in 10th grade
Beni Winter Im not saying that I dont watch cause im too old, Im just not that into watching minecraft any more. I still play it :)
I would love this to be posted more often :D for some reason I enjoy this more than anything else on the ethoslab channel
Here's a possible idea: Have the system take out one box(Box1) when you're not using it, take out a single item(ItemFilt) from it, then use the sorter to filter out every box(Boxes X) with that same item and place Boxes X in a buffer. Then, take(ItemFilt), detect if it can stack with a comparator, and it it can stack, place it in a filter (like you have for the search engine) and transfer all items like ItemFilt to Boxes X, if it can not stack, transfer it directly to Boxes X.
*If Boxes X is full, then detect that the Boxes X can't take ItemFilt and switch to the next Boxes X in the buffer. If Boxes X runs out, take one box from the storage system and try to use it as an Boxes X.
Once the Box1 runs out, place all Boxes X back in the system, place the now empty Box1 into an empty box storage and grab the next box in the system to make it Box1. Then the cycle repeats.
Finally, if Box1 still has items and the system goes through the whole storage system, take an empty box and place it as a Boxes X.
It might not exactly be fast, but this system should essentially group all items together, and fill up all the inventory of the boxes over time. All these logistic steps should be possible in Minecraft. If you have problems, feel free to reply to this comment for help! :)
I like this idea, getting it implemented in vanilla redstone should prove difficult though based on space limitations and going much larger than this already is it may cause the system to run too slowly. But it would definitely be nice to see an auto-sorted inventory system like this.
Hi Etho, for the categories i thought an intermediate step would work. First you have shulker boxes with the categorized items, let's say a box with stonelike blocks(these are used for selecting the search). Then you have the boxes with all te actual items. So it works like this: You pick an item in a chest with all pickable items, let say a cobblestone block. Pixel then cycles through all the selector shulker boxes and finds the box where cobblestone is in(the shulker box with stonelike blocks). You then use this block(with a item key) to select the part of total boxes where to search. So let's say you have 5 categories, and per category 10 shulker boxes, you then only have to search 5 categorizer boxes to find the category and the 10 boxes in that category, so in total searching 15 boxes instead of 50.
Store arrows with your armor to always get armor when searching for arrows!
Hey Etho,
One thing that will speed up things is adding a contraption to spread the items evenly in all the shulker boxes. For example, one stack of the your most commonly used items in each shulker box, with of course an exemption of frequently used building blocks. That way it will find common items searches relatively quick.
Hey Etho. I was wondering, do you ever look at your world and all you have created and think to yourself "wow" or something like that?
Hey Etho! Try putting a cheap, filler item in your empty chests as a sort of "mark" to make them detectable in the defragger (or before the defragger) to sort them out. Hope this helps!
Etho switched from Nexus to Pixel at the same time as Google was switching from Nexus to Pixel. Coincidence?
Mrbombs102 I THINK NOT
Tsuki iLLuMinaTi confirmmmedd
It is confirmed. Google is actually Etho.
your confirmed 2
Ethoogletho
Hi Etho, great video
I love The Pixel. I have one thing about the defragger though. The mechanism which detects when shulkerboxes enter the defragger, and starts up the engine, will break it. If you have more than 10 shulker boxes at once, then it will be a shulkerbox in the hopper which is what the comparator checks. Therefore, with more than 10 shulkerboxes in the system, this mechanism would constantly power the dispenser and it would never be able to place another shulker box.
This said thogh, it should be easy to fix with a monostable curcuit.
Keep up the great work
Etho for president.
Etho, I think you can speed up the transfer of items still with hopper minecarts by placing multiple of them underneath the first box but then putting them half way over two hoppers. You can then lead the hoppers into the sides of the bottom box.
Great job as always.
I know you know this, but you can change gamerules. The new one was made to reduce lag. You don't have lag issues, so I see no problem with just turning the limit off. That's what I plan on doing when I update my world. Since it's just for lag, I don't think it's "cheating" or anything!
CaebVideo yea but it won't be vanilla anymore
Potato Whale it will be, it's a vanilla option
respawn master Vanilla is untouched mc No commands, mods or plugins.
Potato Whale he didn't touch minecraft, it's still the same unmodded game but with and INGAME feature it's is perfectly on to turn it off
So what you are saying is he should turn off mobgriefing or daylightcycle as those are "build in features"
I've been watching Etho for who knows how long now...6years? I'm now 20yrs old and still love every single video he uploads. Minecraft is my favorite game but have real life responsibilities and other ambitions in life and unfortunately I am no longer honored to play the game anymore. Despite that, Etho will always be my favorite content creator on RUclips for as long as he keeps uploading. Being older now I can truly admire his unique personality and understand all his jokes. Etho just gets better and better throughout the years even tho he's always been this way. I'm honored to be a fan who can truly recognize how genuine and smart he is. Keep up the great work Etho! I hope to run into you some day
Lol love the solar roadways reference XD
Can we just appreciate the fact that Etho has uploaded 75 minutes of video today. GET YOUR SNACKS READY, THIS IS GOING TO BE A FEAST!
Omg I literally watched the solar freakin roadways video in class the other day😂
James Stine the left is taking over education
***** originality is irrelevant when the phrase is correct
The phrase isn't correct at all, it's a complete non-sequitur. "The left" has nothing to do with solar freakin roadways.
Etho to get over the problem of empty boxes you could check them before they go into the defrag system, as they pass through the hopper chain to the dispenser have them pass over a hopper and if a item passes through let it go into the defragmenter and if an item doesn't go through then send it to the completion box. The item that goes through can be placed into the box that's getting full.
Also wouldn't it be more efficient if you placed the box with the most items as the one that will be filled up since there is less items being transferred
Keep up the good vids love your content
Oh finally, a thumbnail!
It's not a thumbnail that he chose, it randomly takes 3 thumbnails for you to chose, he doesn't. It just happens that the random screenshot that was pocked was the one of the intro. :D
The luck!
Dominic.turner false, think of all the click bait thumbnails...
Harambe You are alive!
Harambe As in, you can either chose one of the 3 thumbnails, or chose your own. Etho just ignores it so it chooses one randomly. Which happens to be that one.
For the "Empty Shulker Box" problem in the defragger- usually when the box is put into place there should be items that immediately flow through the hopper, so you would have to place a comparator next to the "Item Transfer Hopper" so that a signal is taken when items flow through it. But in order to make the signal useful you would have to create a mechanism that tells the "Shulker Switcher" when to move onto the next box. So my suggestion is to create an "And Gate" from the off state signal of the comparator attached to the "Item Transfer Hopper", and the inverted signal from an observer block that detects when the shulker box has been placed, so that when "the shulker box has been placed" and "there aren't items flowing through" a signal is sent to cycle to the next box.
ETHO FOR PRESIDENT 2020
Joe Bill he lives in Canada.....
Joe Bill No, PRIME MINISTER
Shawna Waters I dont see the problem Trump lives in his own world and hillary in the hospital
MAKE SNACKS GREAT AGAIN
Shawna Waters and @Erth 260
i know but still, Etho for president is a pretty spicy meme
With The Defragger, before the shulker boxes go into the chest, have a dispenser place the shulker boxes and a hopper going into it placing 1 item so that if the shulker box was empty, it now has at least 1 item for the comparator to detect. Also love your videos :D

Instantly fixes all those farms.
Dayne Close he's trying to keep the world without cheats. I highly doubt he would do that.
Andrewrox678 9 Open to LAN -> run command -> close LAN
Dayne Close again, without cheats
That is technically cheating as it executing a command. However for this instance I think it is completely reasonable, but ultimately at the end of the day its up to Etho.
Myne1001 This gamerule was intended to be used for servers where entity cramming is an issue, not on singleplayer. Mojang is just being lazy about disabling it in certain circumstances.
Hey Etho, for the defragger you might want to add a system that compares shulker boxes to check which are the most full. You can then send those to be filled while sending the rest to be emptied. This would help the system's performance by limiting the number of items that go through the hopper.
If you want to detect whether a shulker box that should be emptied was placed emptied, you have several possibilities: use the new detector block to detect if a box was placed while it being empty (determined by the comparator), or you could send an item via a hopper into every box that is placed to make sure it's not empty because if it was, then the item would get sucked down and then your current system will move on to the next box.
I hope I could help :)
"Totaly not a scam" XDDDD
For the empty box problem just insert one item into every box that enters the system, and for the full box problem just detect if the hopper is 2 strength full. It isn't foolproof but you could make a manual override.
I haven't played Minecraft in a year or more, and I haven't watched Etho in months, and I am sooo confused
two things to make your defragger a little faster. you were on the right track (heh get it? track) with the hopper minecarts being used to speed it up. have one off each side that you can make free of the boxes then add a hopper on the side of the bottom shulker box in order to move items down into it twice as fast or 3 or 4 times as fast dependeing how many sides you use. As well if you are still concerned about the system being slow, who says you can't just make more of them? essentially multithread your defragging process and suddenly you can do it twice as fast. this multithreading doesn't quite work as well with pixel though because your search item will only be going to one system. you would have to throw in a number of search items equal to the number of threads you would be using.
Besides that, love the idea, i'll keep working on it in my own world i have come up with some very cool progress as well. Good luck to you Etho, and have a great day.
you know when you watched enought EEvblog when you get the joke about sollar roadways
Hey Etho, one way you could bypass the entity stacking with the blaze farm would be to have two drop chambers instead of just the one. it would be slightly easy to do because there are two different spawners you'd just have to make a drop chamber for each spawner instead of merging them in the middle. love your vids man, keep going!
That solar roadways reference is hilarious! XD
Did you watch Thunderf00t's video by chance?
GalladeGuy 123 I was wondering why he brought it up this episode since it's such an old scam. I remember when it first went viral EEVlog went over the science of why it's a horrible impossible idea.
Not impossible, just a really inefficient usage of solar...not to mention a bad road surface and a poor environment for electronics.
Lol I know right, I did a report on it when it first came out for school xD.
You can detect when the hopper is starting to fill (signal strength 2) to know when the bottom shuller box is full :) Also, I think you should only use this system for returning items into the pixel. Awesome episode, keep em comin!
Seriously this new "game rule" is one of the most annoying things Mojang do they add things to the game that don't need to be added and make no sense but only serve to break peoples machines.
And if they implemented it to stop mob farms then my question is why? If you have enough materials and the ability to make a mob farm then you should have your mob farm i fail to see why mob farms ruin the game.
It's not the first time they've done this either added something that deliberately breaks things with no decent replacement.
They did this to prevent people from breaking the game/server. Stacking mobs was one of the main contributors to lag.
Xplosio Lee then have it server side only... I don't understand why the server and single player have to be identical.
Cause your reasoning makes sense but it's not a good enough reason, not in single player.
It's because, as of version 1.3.1, all single player worlds use a multiplayer server internally. That explains the lag on single player worlds after that version.
Essem | Be Epic, Be Happy oh right I member another stupid fucking decision.
I agree. It should be a world option, or server option.
Thanks for letting me know about the solar roadways, I heard it here first, then went to watch the video on it when I saw the comments.
I Have been a subscriber for 6 years so ever since his first 100 000 subs and I would say that if you wanted to you could use command blocks to make things more fun and wierder!
Mini Freestyler maybe in another series. Never on this one
"I wanna try it" him trying to do entity cramming on himself is so funny knowing now how deadly it is
It's sooo cool to see the lab potion minecart go along and act "smart"
it's honestly inspiring to see him spend all this time and effort making this contraption and then it's imperfect and he says, "okay! time to redesign!" and it's just another project to enjoy working on, it's not a "failure." Call it a prototype or a proof of concept, or just a first draft. idk! just a nice inspiration.

Hey Etho, there are 2 ways that I thought of to detect if a shulker box has an empty slot or not. The first way would be more useful for determining which boxes need to be consolidated. This method would use a hopper to try to force a specially named test item into the box, and another hopper with a item filter in it underneath the box to see if the item was able to enter the box or not. The second method would be more useful for the problem that you ran into at the end of the video. This method would rely 2 hoppers stacked on top of each other. The top hopper would receive items from an inventory above it and would face sideways into another inventory rather than down. The lower hopper would suck items out of the top hopper and place them into the shulker box below. Once the Shulker box and the lower hopper have filled with items, the top hopper would be able to send items sideways into a connected inventory. At this point, a comparator is be able to tell that the box is full.
Please like this comment so that Etho will see it!!!!
Did anyone not notice 21:54 , how'd that button turn into a block !??!
Etho, to solve the empty shulker box on top, you'd just need to implement a check for content prior to that dispenser that checks for contents, if there's contents(comparator turns on) it gets sent into defragger top, if there's no contents( comparator turns off and you'd likely need something like a timer delay or pulse lengthener that once it turns off it activates to send it into the empty shulker box area) sending it likely into the empty shulker box portion of the defragger.
did he just got Thunderf00t ?
that was weird.
i liked it, but it was odd.
and then etho makes his pixel display after six years
Ha ha, old storage system called the Nexus, new called the Pixel. Only android fans will understand :P
Some improvements:
You could you could have multiple shulkerboxes filling up an empty one at the same time with the current system you've developed.
Basically what i've imagined as a suitable defragging algorithm:
1)Test item compatibility with box.
2)Insert compatible item/s.
3)Repeat until box is full then break and store separately.
In order to realize this idea you could make a line of hoppers each with one type of item in the said hopper system and cycle the items around through a specific hopper that will try to insert the item into the defragging box. If the item is inserted then you could send a search query to your system for a box containing said item. To keep the line in sync i.e. still have the same type of item in the hopper with which you started with, you could put another hopper tape on the bottom of the shulker box to specifically drain the tested item out. Note that both tapes have to be in the same order at the start for the filter to work correctly. Connecting the parts should be easy redstone as well.
This shouldn't ever break if you place empty hoppers, and i think it would work at a reasonable speed, it would still be pretty good even if there was a way around the hopper speed limit. The downside is the space required for this, but considering you're in a cave...
I hope i was able to bridge the idea, i think it would work pretty well, but i haven't tested it out. Have a go at it, it shouldn't take long to build in creative at the very least.
did you know solar powered roadways are already a thing...
blockflight Did you know that jokes are a thing?
blockflight Did you know they aren't? watch Thunderf00t's video on them.
Lol that one was good.
blockflight yeah i know!!
blockflight Of course he does, he was parodying them because they are over hyped and not actually viable. If you're going to be a smart ass, first be smart...
I have no idea how these things work, but I enjoy watching etho.
why was the cramming thing even added?
ATschTheCube to reduce lag
ATschTheCube I'm assuming it was to help reduce the entity count so the game could run on lower end devices easier, but what do I know, I don't even own the game.
ATschTheCube to reduce lag and nerf super op mob farms that produce hundreds of levels of xp way too easily
It's a challenge for technical players, and it adds a slight degree of realism.
Only reduce lag i think
Etho's an alchemist; he can turn wooden buttons into grass and dirt XD
Minecraft survival was a huge disappointment.
Now having 24+ mobs in the same space causes suffocation? Thanks, microsoft.
If you don't like it you can turn it off. Simple.
The only dense one here is you apparently, because you complained about entity cramming, and I told you you could turn it off, and suddenly you assume I meant every feature in the bloody game.
