Hermitcraft S11#6: Going Warp Speed
Embed
- Published on Mar 5, 2026
- The Player Launcher from last episode gets improved by adding an easy to use return feature. We then work on the visual design of a community Player Launcher for the shopping district, giving it a high-tech sci-fi style.
All these Player Launchers are going to need lots of Wind Charges, so we look into upgrading our Breeze Farm with a warp feature. The base gets a new Bus Stop / Rest Stop type of intersection.

Etho finally using chunk loaders. 😮
It took THIS long...(he made it to the modern redstoning day at last)
didn’t he use chunk loaders for the mail system last season?
Hasn't he plenty of times? Maybe not on Hermitcraft I guess, but I think he has in singleplayer multiple times
Didn’t Etho event chunk loaders?
Doc, wouldn't your zombie-with-looting-spear-method be very effective for the Breezes?
"You gotta get people hooked first, then you start charging"
Etho revealing some of his wild past
Hahaha
Respect for the hussle, yk?
The comeback of shady and sneaky -e's in it's next evolution: speedy-e's
Breaking blocks
@spenkerdetanker9067 That fits in 8 banners, too...
The rocket flying carpet company should be called Speedy-E
Speedy-e-e by shade-e-e
Or just Speed-E
@zencraft69 it’s a reference to shady-e-e’s from season 7
want some free glass?
Speed-E-Es
Another season of Bdubs saying the name wrong
22:29 you could color-code the cardinal directions to use the same ones that Gem has for the Nether Hub tunnels to help solidify that association for all of the hermits, make things a little more cohesive
I think etho is reaching a new peak. He's innovating, trying new things and growing as a creator so much lately
i couldn’t agree more!!! seeing him so excited about minecraft and seeing all the new things he’s been trying out has been so inspiring to me
always has been!
I think he's been innovating for 15 years straight 😝
@joker1bhe has but he hasn't had an invention this incredible since the hopper clock
The automation of the breeze farm might be peak Minecraft gameplay.
The “silly goose” name also fits if someone dies from flying into one of Mumbo’s geese.
I can't wait to see that. It's gonna happen eventually!
Lmfao. It's only a matter of time.
Most powerful geese around, surviving a human railgun strike
I am waiting for Scar to be flying without paying attention and have a midair collision with one
@EsperFoxclaw He's already accidentally flown into Tango's base (you know, the insanely huge mountain) twice, I'm sure he'll find a way to hit the geese
The etho unwashing has been phenomenal to witness
Etho, the inventor of the hopper clock, also the inventor of the hermit yeetinator. What a crazy man!
can't use hopper clocks cus etho dun it
can't do redstone cus etho dun it
can't yeet hermits cus etho dun it
@hiwaga7399 mumbo jumbo crash out loll
@denisevanbilderbeek6920 Can't build good trees cus Scar dun it.
... Unless?
@victzegopterix2 unless....you really really like them and can't built trees him self
A little late. Etho could have called Frogger; Hopper Clock.
In Etho’s last LP episode he talked a bit about the differences between Hermitcraft and his LP World, but it’s also really cool how one can influence the other. He spent half of that LP episode experimenting with the wind charge mechanics, something he would not have dedicated a hermit craft episode towards. However, the very next hermitcraft episode showcases the player launcher, an amalgamation of all the mechanics he spent time understanding. The result is one of the coolest redstone devices I’ve ever seen, regardless of hermitcraft. Etho is at his best when he pushes game mechanics to their limits, which is why I always look forward to a new LP episode
"The result is one of the coolest redstone devices I’ve ever seen" etho at it once again
Yes Etho brought back his whimsical Intros so happy
Reminds me of that judge bdubs movie 😂
I want joel and etho to do an intro collab
YEEEE
@yuushocreatesjoel makes an intro for etho and vice versa!! i would love that
28:22 "...you want the awe of the room to hit you" *BONK*
28:24 “there’s certain rooms where you want the awe of the room to hit you” *immediately flies into wall*
Omg we laughed so hard 😂😂😂❤ glad other people noticed too!
That's nuts I missed it
i guess the awe of the room really hit him
I was waiting for him to say "just not like that" or "kinda like that"
The shading under the benches is a nice touch! I thought it was natural lol
I love that because of decked out Etho realized that his viewers didn't care about only 20min videos and we now get 40 min master pieces
I feel like I could watch semi-raw footage like doc does lol
@boliveto back in the day when etho recorded and showed us everything cuz he thought we'd like it. he was right
His videos have always been 30 minutes to an hour. He just can't stop playin😂. I love him for that.
Edit: He was making shorter videos in the beggining but that didnt last long lol.
@bolivetoI could watch completely raw footage and be happy. I love love streams for that reason
@aaronloeffler1388 Same.
You could sell lodestone/compass sets at the player launcher, the perfect impulse buy as a hermit is heading back to their base
The launcher needs cardinal directions engraved in the floor, compa rosa
And hopefully color coded to match Gem’s nether hub
Yesss great udea
The wind charges have unlocked Ethos true ninja potential
Even though I've already seen Tango's reaction to the launcher in his episode, it is so much funnier from your POV watching a completely calm Tango turn into a giggling hyperventilating bewildered Tango in the span of a single second
Tango's reaction was my favourite
and he claims he's not whimsical... please. Tango's the most whimsical of them all
@AragogAragogAra Whimsy Master, yes.
You know how in star wars there is lines of flying cars moving in the city? It would be fun to have a line of flying vehicles moving throughout to keep the base alive in different places
Maybe it's time to launch a Breez-E-E's insurance service!
If you aren't insured against all dangers... who knows, you might end up getting launched 12000 blocks instead of 1200
omg yes!!
oh my and the enderporter seems to be broken. smh youll need to pay repair fees now
You have to pay extra for the return trapdoor to actually go off
I Like Breez-E-E's insurance services.
Doc is going around ensuring the safety of builds.
So Etho should form the UL (Underwriters Labority)
*Everyone knows UL means barely works as intended for consumer goods* BUT *Good enough for Insurance*
Safety Assurance: Products with this mark are found to be free from reasonably foreseeable risks of fire or electric shock under normal use.
UL Listed" is a premium safety certification from Underwriters Laboratories (now primarily operating as UL Solutions), a global leader in safety science. It signifies that a complete, stand-alone product has undergone rigorous testing and meets nationally recognized safety and sustainability standards.
Stand-Alone Products: This specific mark is for end-consumer goods (e.g., coffee makers, heaters, furnaces) rather than individual internal components.
Code Compliance: Many building inspectors and insurance companies require UL Listing to pass inspections or provide coverage.
Etho calibration opens the inspection shop and gives a stamp of approval and offers insurance.
But, things don't work quite right.
Flint and steel with a water bucket NBT data for pearlescent moon.
Imagine Tango's decked out zombies handing out enchanted books and witches dispensing strength potions.
The UL stamp of approval does the opposite of what it's intended to do, but works mostly.
Dangerous but every tenth night triggers a *few* shulker to escape Dock's Ice Cube and wander around.
Could be good entertainment but the server would have to play along with some of them.
Slowly gaining superpowers. This episode: Teleportation everywhere
So thoughtful of you to give Grain a "summon Etho" button
Who is this ‘Grain’ character?
@Revird011it's the man in the chicken hat
@darthseverus89but that’s chicken man
@mcMineoc I think you mean poultry man. The hero the world needs.
@Revird011hes a fantastic builder who always finishes the back
Ooo if you're making more launchers, maybe you could talk with Pearl about adding a launcher near her fire station! Since she's building her fire towers at peoples bases and around the server too, it could be cool if she had a big fire tower (or some other themed structure) at her base that can launch her anywhere on the server 😲
19:02 Etho really showing the ninja way with those wind charges
I totally see fun mini-game potential with wall climbing
Wouldn't it be cool if Hermitcraft spent a whole season "night-locked"?
Where the sun doesn't rise...
This would bring a fresh perspective to the way Hermits play and create, and it would force them to focus on the lighting around their builds as well.
Bdubs would descend into madness not being able to sleep 😅
They did that with the last life series, and idk if bdubs liked that too much, he made no videos on it 😂
@ED4N_ haha I'd love to see how Bdubs reacts to the challenge...
Will he become a master of lighting and overcome his fear of the night, or will he slowly descend into lunacy?
Bdubs night arc would go crazyyy 😭
it would defo have to be a shorter season for the hermits mental health
Wow, eternal night! The nightsky is so pretty, all of these stars, and the Moon...
Uh...
Is the Moon, uh, big?..
When naming the Point of Interest Compasses, it might be useful to add a number indicating what "strength" the launcher should be set to to reach that specific POI (though, the coordinates already kind of do that)
Thats a good idea. Or adding a sign with how many seconds = blocks traveled could be useful as well.
Etho is singlehandedly paving the way to creating teams fortress 2 rocket jump maps in Minecraft and I'm all here for it
Whimsy: 100%
Progress: 100%
So true!
I think if the build is supposed to be a big cyberpunk-ish city, then maybe in the dark spots underneath these types of builds would be where people in squalor are forced to stay or hide! Maybe under the flying bus stop, could be maybe workers quarters or maintenance tunnels. Then under the other areas could be some of your smaller automated farms, so they could be "tucked away" and hidden under the view!
Kinda like how Final Fantasy VIIs Midgar has its Slums under "The Plate" ?
@iaxacs3801 Yes!! Exactly my idea
How would 'TRAM TRAP' sound as the flying machine depot name? (Literally 'PART MART' backwards)
That's a clever play on words.
etho agrees.
etho's seal of approval
Tramp for short!
TramCo would also be neat
It would be cool if the flying machines would randomly get lunched on their own periodically. It could give more of a dynamic to the base.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHOOOO (maybe)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHOO(definitely)
what
The breeze mob grinder sounded like an actual industrial grinder
I thought for a sec that in the intro Etho was gonna pull the camera closer with the fishing rod, and I was wondering how TF he would do that.
I'm sure he'd figure something out. 😊
using another player as a camera and pulling them with the fishing rod. For a better effect, the player could have slow falling and etho could pull the player up with a fishing rod as the player falls
I did the math when Tango put his perspective out. The third launch covered 7000 blocks in about 7 seconds, which comes out to a hair under Mach 3.
We are here etho 0:11
Everytime I watch this guy I am shocked with what I didn’t know you could in Minecraft and I been watching for over 10years
You know what would be a funny prank?
Putting just a little bit of mycelium in the shopping district.
That would absolutely not result in shenanegans
it does sound funny but he'll have to check in with scar since he built the shopping district and as fun as it sounds scar or etho would have to clean it up so it doesn't ruin scar's work
@lupeluvscatsas we learned in season 7, mycelium can't spread to grass, only to dirt. So it wouldn't get more out of hand than they intend it to.
@profl0g1c38one of my favorite season Thanks for noticing
@rowanhensley3615 oh i didnt know that! I just started watching during s10 and mostly watch Joel so I'm not caught up with what hermits have done in the past
making the people launcher look like the big teleporter tower from arcane would be sick
You could call the company "Jet Net" to go with the hi-tech theme and match the rhyming vibe of "part mart" :)
19:00 Etho reminding the world the he is a ninja.
Imply has an ominous potion farm for his raid farm. I’m sure he would be happy to let you use it to get potions for the breeze farm
21:24 make it the eye of Sauron
Sauron (just barely finished it yesterday)
@MatthewPasseymb
19:40 He is a ninja your honor
There needs to be an animatic of Etho wall-running
there already is, its called naruto shippuden
Crouching Etho. Hidden Enderdragon
@whistlehammock You've got me there
Everything is so cool. Love your style, Etho. You undersell yourself too often.
Someone commented to an earlier video that Etho's super duper launchers should be dubbed Hermit Hurler, and I cannot believe that hasn't been adopted as the official name yet!! It's perfection =)
Having the lights on the base pulse would give a cool power surging effect
14:08 Etho finally finally managed to make a true industrial district by bringing us the sound from an actual factory floor 😅
29:14 “I’m planning on putting an intersection up ahead” threw me back to the days of Etho playing vechs super hostile maps. And how he described the scrap years off to one side… such great videos & series
5:05 So actually you dont need your redstone to fit within the chunk of the EnderPearl.
People often say that ender pearl only load 1 chunk, but that's not exactly true. They load 1 chunk as entity ticking, but 3x3 chunks of redstone ticking.
In contrast to portals, which load 3x3 entity ticking, and 5x5 redstone ticking.
Since hopper clocks and pistons and redstone don't use any entity, they would work just fine in the 3x3 chunks around the ender pearl
Hope he sees this, it makes ender pearl chunk loaders so much easier to build around. Most small-medium sized redstone machines only have at max 1-2 components that need entity ticking to function.
Exactly, and in his case the only entity of the system is the ender pearl, which ensure its own chunk is entity-ticking anyways, so he can use the full 3x3 for his redstone.
Potential 6ish letter names:
To&Fro
Pull-e
SeeSaw
WigWag
Yo-Yo
What an intro...
Best intro of the season
Etho using chunk loaders is crazy ngl
just walked through the door, set down my pub sub, took a sip of my diet coke, and opened youtube to a new Etho video 4 minutes ago. life is good
The warp thing at spawn has the shape of an airport air control tower.
Etho sounds like a businessman, focusing on user experience
Used to watch EthosLab religiously, just checked back in today and I'm glad to see you're still making videos. Learned a lot of game mechanics from watching "Etho Plays Minecraft".
It’s always a blessing when Etho posts 🙏
I never expect it, but whenever he or Scar does, it is always a gift.
Edited because I also used the word blessing lol.
If I could like this video more than once, I would.
- the silly intro with new camera tools
- the genius teleporting to each breeze spawner in a series
- the fun wall climbing
I'm also genuinely loving seeing the "good enough" Etho mentality. Previously you've been bogged down chasing perfection. It's wonderful to see you doing such a variety of fun stuff, and getting it done super fast too so you have time to enjoy using it!
36:51 here you can have like a broken down roof that there’s a hole in the roof or “sky light” that is why there are plants growing in that spot and not others
I was thinking of something similar like a leaky pipe with the water dripping
That player Launcher looks like the CN Tower.
He is Canadian… so the CN tower would be awesome 🇨🇦
That player launcher design is so cool. Sure it's not perfectly symmetrical, but like the design really draws your attention.
I’m glad your still around
Etho’s base this season reminds me so much of the old Ratchet & Clank games I played as a kid back in like 2003!
I thought the same! the cartoony cyberpunk with bold colours against more muted greys. It’s a fun aesthetic!
I love R&C to bits
The editing on this video is great. Thanks for all the smiles, Etho
Watched this video at warped speed
No spoilers man.
Finished to this video at warp speed
Same lmao
This season ethos episodes keep getting better and better
16:00 etho using free cam is awesome makes for some smooth timelapses
That's a flashback recording.
Cant wait for the world download
Nightvision over fire resistance would give some prior visual indicator
That's smart. Gonna steal this idea for my own stasis chamber.
sure, but fire resistance are free lol
@n@nadkudo1798mean night vision is basically free too. just gotta make potion, which just automate it and it’s fine
@mcnick8742 what they mean is he already has the fire res splashes from the bartering farm, no need to set something else up
I think a volcano would look super super cool building up to the launcher!
ETHO POST EVERYONE JUMP !
EUGH!
DID THAT MAKE YOU JUMP?
Video posted 2in ago how did you comment 5 min ago? You must be wired in to prime etho tv
I cant jump i broke my leg
THAT MADE ME JUMP
Great episode! You could get it so that when a bus docks, the other bus is launched (if it is already at that platform you arrived to). This means there’s always a bus at either side!
I have been watching since the end of your first world in chocolate island, I just turned 30 and I still enjoy every Etho upload like I did when I was a kid.
The speedy trial chamber upgrade you made is such a good idea, good stuff.
23:52 what is the meaning of this im scared
This is pure cinema 😂
I felt uncomfortable.... and excited
It is actually like genuinely exactly as bad as it looks lmao. Like even the timing of when the clip was placed is abysmal. Extodinarily funny, but quite confusing lol
That cut was so uncomfortable to watch XD i love it
His very next words were “it was a bit of a confidence boost. Gas in the tank”
Etho's videos never get old, even the old ones
11:31 wiring on deepslate?? what’s gotten into you??
the bus station looks so good i love the colors fantastic job!!
28:22 "There's certain rooms where you want that grand reveal, when you want the awe of the room to hit you-" *hits the wall of the room*
You could make the player launcher into a statue
the launcher design looks like a laser being shot out it's so cool actually
19:30 their has to be some mini game ideas with this.
That sequenced enderporter setup is really neat. It probably has potential for an art show or something like it.
So good to see a silly opening to a new Etho hermitcraft video.
man with these consist uploads we’re getting absolutely spoiled 🥰
That intro made Etho my best friend.
watching these videos is making me realize I've gotta get a breeze farm set up; im so jealous of the near-infinite supply of wind charges Etho has
it would be funny if it had like an 1 in 50 chance to drop your enderpearl through an netherportal after using representing that you moved so fast that you broke the dimension border.
also i just like seeing hermits confused
Thanks for putting commentary over the timelapses. Without it they feel kind of pointless but with it they're awesome
Also you could pretty easily justy the slowness of the flying machine by saying they're blimps
I love the artistic approach to building so many of the Hermits are taking this season. I know they've put plenty of thought into the composition of builds before but it seems like they're doing a lot more diving into it in their commentary in a really nice way. Everyone I've seen so far is very mindful of their theming and specifically the framing of viewpoints and such like that. It's very fun to hear their thought processes when it comes to building their bases!
I can tell Etho played Soldier in TF2 with those wall pogo skills
the rocket ship build is actually genuinely so beautiful etho!
Really enjoying the free cam. It allows us to see you doing the build and how it all comes together instead of just having you show it afterwards. Hearing your thought process as we are watching the build is also great. I hope that sticks around!
The super fast trial chamber clearing is so, so cool dude
Hi Etho, really enjoyed this episode. I was thinking the Wind Charge wall climb would make a cool mini game, I wonder if you could do like a total wipeout with wall shapes and the players need to fit through certain shapes while using wind charges. I also really like the Cyberpunk base idea and I can't wait to see more of it. Thank you for the upload, hope you're well ♥
That's gotta be the most fun ethos ever had in an intro
Loving the new block pallet. It fits the theme and it's unique
I'm loving the goofy Etho arc this season!
