- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Minecraft modded. Today we spend some more time setting up the new Botania base and work out a complex system for auto-crafting the runes. Later we check out the Excavator from Immersive Engineering.
Mod Pack Instructions - #1: Download FTB Launcher #2: From the launcher select "Pack Code" under "3rd Party Packs" #3: Enter the code "Etho" #4: Launch the Etho Pack that should now be in your "3rd Party Pack" list.
FTB Launcher: www.feed-the-be...
Mod List: docs.google.co...
Note: I did not compile this list and it is not entirely up to date. I'll try compile an official list (and hopefully the pack) when I find some time.

I lost it when you killed the guy to play the music. It was funny.
I thought my computer was playing something in the background at first
that was pretty good yeah does anyone know what mod that is from ?

+Arron EdgeWireGaming The actual song is from botania, he just had the npc play the song when he killed it
+random turtle darude- sandstorm
These are one of the episodes that really remind me why you're my favourite youtuber. Absolutely loved it. (Also the whole "Diggy diggy hole" was a huge throwback and nostalgia trip to yogscast and your older stuff)
I'm not exactly sure what language the Botania runes are in, if it even is a language, you should build like a Japanese tea garden for the area. That way you can have the flowers serve as aesthetics and function! Throw a few cherry blossom trees and a lake, maybe even a zen garden, and the place will look absolutely astounding! I've done this recently and couldn't be happier. I used CSULB's for reference, if you want to try it
This is a great idea :D
The language it's in is corrupted Chinese, if you search up the Chinese words for the corresponding things, wind, fire, water, and earth, you'll see similarities. You'll also see similarities in the season and sin runes, but they're more abstract.
You Found Kate Ah thank you!
Yesss this is an amazin idea!
Kinda looks like corrupted kana to me, but then again, kana is form chinese anyhow, so....
I really like how you end your videos as soon as you're done, rather than having 20-30 seconds of advertising your other videos like so many youtubers do.
I am not sure if this is still a thing, but manaspreaders are able to draw from mana pools if they are next to each other.
Pretty sure it still is!
It is.
They can be bound with the botania wand I think... Like the flowers.
Sun Flares Nope, only putting the spreader next to a pool will make mana move from the pool to the spreader.
+Jake Higdon sparks
Do you have vein miner in this pack, Etho?
If you do, you should check it out. Heard it's pretty cool!
Dammit seagull.
C'mon Maaate... Veinminer is for skyfactory.
Wait... they have veinminer? (Mindblown)
wwwaaaaaaaaaaiiiit a minute do I know you? we're gonna be friends ssppeecciiaall friends!
do you guys know that we have vein miner?
Wait, they have vein miner in skyfactory!?!?!?! Does Etho know about that?
I checked about 3 times if something was playing in the background, really not used to you playing music in your video's :D
got me to
me too.
Now im wondering where can i find that music
It's from the Botania mod
He didn't play music in the video. Well, he did but he didn't edit it in. The npc he killed played the sound file. Funny thing is, that music is from botania. Not that etho would want to use botania to make it play every time he crafts a rune. It would get rather... frustrating if he did. You'll see why in a couple of episodes when etho decides that the wither is to easy.
Edit: looks like I forgot 1 option for etho. There is a music disc in the game for that song. I believe that you get it after hearing it for the first time without dying. If you're reading this etho, this means that you don't need computercraft. Just progress a bit through botania and use a jukebox to make it play.
You can get mana out of the pool by placing a spreader right next to the pool and binding the mana spreader to anything you want. Keep up the great work Etho
Ellipse...I know we went over this
I know... sorry I forgot. =)
+EthosLab ha keep up the good work 😊
+EthosLab love the videos but i didnt know your pack had "bras" in the game?! 16:40
Clay soldiers actually sounds like it would be fun in this.
What kind of pickax and sword is Etho using i forgot
0:51 Etho says 'Eclipse', means 'Ellipse', and looks at a block with a parabola. We still love u eto.
ETHO YOU ROCK!!!
Your not chimney ace gtfo Wana be
+Owen Priddy wtf why the hell would I want to be like Chimneyace?
+Owen Priddy cus I didn't know saying some rocks means that the person is a wannabe
Annd you stone
+friesandmayo there is no point in saying "You stone" because that doesn't make sense because pebbles are stones and someone could think it as "You pebble"
Just smth I noticed: The last cut Etho made (when the picture switched from the Excavator to the Steampunk city) was really impressive! I love the way the Steampunk turned out so far and I just got reassured I'm still in love with it :D
Etho, you can color golden bags of holding with normal dyes to differentiate all your bags.
This is what I love about your videos: you don't do things the easy way. I mean, I often do things the hard way, but you do things the awesome way.
RIP Herbert Forbie, You will not be remembered
2k16 - 2k16
The music choice is fantastic, the rune-making setup is a perfect chance for a super cool metal-fantasy build.
at 16:41, you can see that etho was searching bras.
That excavator is super cool. You're right in that it produces the ores itself (hence the "hidden from normal mining" comment in the book). Having Resonant Ender Energy Cells certainly helps with the 4k RF/t! The biggest capacitor in Immersive Engineering only holds 1/8th (IIRC) of that amount of RF
2 videos?! We are not worthy!
YES 2 VIDEOS!!!
ikr
Yea like 8 days with no hermitcraft...
I know lol
yeah
Etho just so you know, a dispenser can right click the wand to craft using the altar. This way you don't need power. Also, if you put a spreader beside a pool, it will draw mana from it. Finally, there is a boss in Botania called the Gaia Guardian who drops a music disc that plays the boss music that you had.
ETHO ACTUALLY PUT IN SOME MUSIC!?
It's from the Botania mod
Yea it's in-game
its from the gaia guardian fight
its also a final fantasy song...
Ik it's awesome!
What is Krip doing here?
Etho - awesome start to this project. I'm a big fan of visual feedback, I think you should hook all the lights up on the runes to some redstone. Either flashing when it gets activated when looking at the two "eyes" or set them normally off, and when you activate the crafting the rune turns on for the duration. Would look pretty sweet. Keep working man it looks great so far!!!
Hey Etho,
Put a mana spreader next to a manapool to have the mana from the mana come from the manapool, this includes above it and all four sides.
Also the music if you didn't know if from the gia guardian fight.
Woah, I was blown away when you started the music while narrating the whole mechanics. Epic!
Etho it looks like you got a new "double right click" mouse to use lmao
haha yeah... I need a new mouse badly.
please update the modpack, I really want to try out the mods that you are using, but a lot of them aren't even in the pack, and I am not sure how to create my own modpack.
+EthosLab WAAAH U REPLIED TO PEOPLE!
+EthosLab Dude etho, that pun in the beginning.. "Gotta finish what you've started" OH YA!!
It would be cool to have a double right click mouse.
This episode was honestly amazing. Etho, please use computercraft and all your creativity to make this rune crafter as cool as possible. We're all super hyped to see what you've got in store
Etho, to take mana from a mana pool, a mana spreader just has to be next to it facing away.
The music effect was awesome and surprising, loved experiencing something different from the usual, great job and good music choice Etho!
Why not try the Daffomills, to catch the items when they fall down from the giant rune. The Daffomills will push the items like the spreader and lens does but they're less obvious since they're flowers, instead of having random spreaders and pressure plates all over. Might look nice :3. You could even have them bounce back and forth between Daffomill flowers, that might be funny xD
P.S. Floating flowers are so pretty! You can even change the grass color with special seeds!
some tips on the botania setup you have, if you place a mana spreader right next to a mana pool and shift click the mana spreader then the altar you can transfer mana directly from the pool. you can also use mana sparks by placing one directly over a pool then another to were you want the mana to go. specially later when you opened the portal to alfheim you can make some cool setups and change the sparks to transfer mana to specific locations by making some dominant.
And have a look at the mod steves factory manager sounds right up your alley some really cool automations you can do it with it it just takes some time to learn the mod.
great episode as always:)
I miss modded.
This is fax
dear etho, my snacks for enjoying this episode is a fat breakfast, jellied toast a whole omlet and salted hash browns, I take my episode snacks very seriously and when that guitar riff blasted in the botania "cutscene" I laughed so hard I shot tea through my nose and i soaked my glorious breakfast in bed face stuffing session, and i think it was worth it, add more killer guitar solos to let's plays!
Last time I was this early all the "last time I was this early the uk was still in the EU" jokes were funny
Hate to break it to you, but they were never that funny.
They won't be funny for two years, since the UK is still technically in the EU for that remaining time.
And even after two years, they still won't be funny.
exactly.
Don't you love it when people say "Last time I was this early, the U.K. was still in Europe"
You are by far one of the best TH-camrs!
And we all (most of us anyway) appreciate all the hard work you put into every episode of modded and vanilla :D
Love the music
You may wish to look into "sparks" for moving mana around, though you still need the spreaders for the feeding the runic alter.
The core sample works per chunk, so each chunk will hold a different chance for a mineral.
Great stuff!
Echo, I fucking love you
ECHO Echo echo
ETHO ETho etho
lol
+lucaspeltie -tho -ho -o...
Etho! You can 'click' the runic altar with the wand of the forest using a dispenser, no need for power usage.
Also, putting a mana spreader on the side of a mana pool will make it draw form the mana pool, and also look in the Lexica if you need to learn Botania mechanics.
Etho, why did you search for bra in NEI? Wanted to look cooler? :P
i dunno maybe brass but that can work too
+No Controllers Here OH MY GOD.
That reference made my day.
Jesus that took me back xD
my childhood came rushing back... OH THE NOSTALGIA
I'm loving the Botania area and your automation of the crafting is awesome!
Etho, will you adopt me?
Me to?
me three !?!
ME FOUR??
me five?
me six
Its nice to see you having so much fun. Personally i would setup a AE quantum bridge and wireless terminal. That way i would have hundreds of golden bags of holding in a single slot on my hotbar. Then with Steves factory manager, i would reduce your entire base into a 3x3x3 and automate everything involving the runic altar with AE. And autocraft every single rune on demand from wherever i might be. Could even store the mana in tablets in my AE. That be fun too. Though perhaps a little less fancy to look at. And it wouldn't involve digging giant holes. Also, you can switch a mana pool from accepting mana, to giving out mana to spreaders. But if you want to go really fancy, use sparks.
Dear the person who disliked. You couldn't have watched the entire video yet
whoever dislikes doesn't deserve the honor of watching Etho...
you dont have to watch the whole episode either to not like it?
Well would you watch a video if you disliked it?
+Blooto44 If that's real, that's just disappointing.
+Matthew K. Ikr it's just sad
You are doing the most awesome stuff with Botania that I have ever seen. Keep it up, Etho.
what happened to terrafirmacraft?
he did everything he could do, stopped, it got updated, then he either did everything again or he crashed to the point of having to delete it.
it just turned into a ton of grind for simple things, he talked about this a while after the last episode.
Terrafirmacraft is the most tediously boring modpack after a while, kind of like real life.
so the only solution is to drink bleach right?
John Gretes no, the only solution is find something else you like to watch.
Etho, to make a spreader draw from a pool, place the spreader adjacent to the pool. Also, your book only has info on about half of botania right now. To complete the book, make an alheim (I probably misspelled it) portal and throw the book through it. You might be particularly interested in the spectrolus. Also, you don't need an autonomous activator to use the wand on the alter, a dispenser can do it instead.
the diggy diggy whole is a reference to Simon from the yogscast and his song "diggy diggy whole". it goes like this, "hey I'm a dwarf and I'm digging a whole, diggy diggy whole, digging a whole". I love the song. 😊
that music that played was hilarious etho. Lovin what ur doing with botania lol. you should make lava pour out of the walls, smoke come out of the ground, have a floor that changes colors when its going on, and pillars of fire like the chicken flamethrower turn on and when its all finished, you should make fireworks explode, just for a little extra effects.
The death epic music was hilarious! Etho, thank you for making awesome content, may you keep creating for as long as you find it enjoyable.
This is my favourite Minecraft series by far, your builds are absolutely incredible and detailed, and the fact that you make things look like they're doing something is what makes this series unique... keep up the good work man! Oh and also did you know about vein miner? :P
the music playing was incredible, top 10 moment in modded minecraft
Hey Etho, since you're having trouble finding things with the Golden Bags of Holding, you should dye them. Crafting a bag with any color dye will dye it a different color, and won't affect any of the contents.
2 options for storing the fishing rods are extra utilities filling cabinets which will store a lot of one type of item with different meta data values. (Good for potions or enchanted books) or the Thermal expansion cashes which just store a certain number of an item and ignore stack size. So a reinforced cash would store 40000 rods or dirt in the same way.
The music made this so much better. Great idea Etho.
Hey Etho!
I know you already said you won't play ARK in the near future, but I want to remind you that it has been a few months and the new community on "Pooping Evolved" is really nice. They have an awesome map ("The Center") and the game has so many new mechanics which makes it cooler than ever before. Please think about joining them, I'm sure many would appreciate you making that decision.
Have a nice day!

You don't actually need to use an autonomous activator to activate the runic altar. You can put a wand of the forest in a dispenser and it works just fine, and you don't have to keep it powered, like you would with an autonomous activator.
And if you want a mana spreader take mana from a mana pool, all you have to do is place the spreader next to a pool. It will then shoot whenever it has a valid target.
Etho, I love the Botania crafting sequence! I can imagine you starting an episode with crafting a ruin, like a boss!
Also you should make some cool sunglasses to go along with the music :D
Hey Etho a few things
1. I think the kekimurus is a better flower, but you have to have a portal to alfheim.
2. Mana spreaders will accept mana from mana pools, but the spreaders need to be next to the mana pools.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, VintageBeef comes in with the Minicio Minicio and it starts raining Minicio and Etho's base gets Minicio'd to the point where he starts eating Beef for breakfast.
My god, you are the Minecraft god on both vanilla and modded now!! Best build I have ever seen, Etho. And I have seen everything of yours. I envy your engineering capabilities, man. But at least I can beat you at Hearthstone, haha.
I love this series. WE NEED MORE MODDED MINECRAFT!
Wow, the lab looks incredible! Keep up the great work, Etho!
An idea for getting the living rock to the crafter thing, is to use the item cannon from pneumatic craft. I think that would look really cool, the rock flying from wherever ober to it, and also it will introduce other mechanics into that area.
Etho, look into opening the Portal to Alfheim, throw the book in and get the advanced knowledge, then you can access the spark augments, allowing you to make a mana battery. The sparks will pull the mana from the battery, I used rotten flesh and the food eating flower for almost unlimited mana. Also it allows you to build a more advanced spreader than can shoot further again.
Yo Etho, for the hole with the Botania Runes, because making a circle didn't work out I suggest that you could put some pillars in the corners, with a Old-Greek, mythical looking design, maybe add some overgrowth like vines or leaves and stuff to make it look like a nature theme since that fits Botania very well. Love the designs of the runes and the whole general idea of the project.
Since you have a milk farm already built, you could set up a mana factory that uses the Kekimurus flower (once you have unlocked the means to make it through Elfheim) in order to generate all the mana you need, automatically through Botania even. That way you can make cakes and place them near a couple of the flowers in order to create a steady stream of mana that you could transport around through mana pools on rails to deliver to where you need it.
lol the lighting music idea for rune crafting sounds awesome, good video man
Most epic altar ever! Love what you're doing and killing Darage to trigger the music is hilarious XD
Bags of holding can be dyed, I didn't know this myself until recently. Handy when you have many.
Name them as well, incredibly useful.
officially the coolest project etho's done
Only reason I watch Etho is because he has the best Singleplayer world and is funny, and I watched his videos since he started xD. Do more vanilla minecraft😘
That episode was really cool with the Botania automation!
When Etho played the music I was like "this is the most Etho moment ever"
I have never noticed music in your videos etho, but I got to give you credits for this! Awesome little addiction especially combined to the botania crafting system.
I kept wondering, "What's that npc doing there???" You never disappoint me Etho
I would say the best part of waking up is etho in ur sub box, but I didn't wake up at 5:00 pm
Etho, you always have the best episode titles ever
Hey Etho, you can move mana from a mana pool by putting a spreader right next to it. The food flower is really good and so is the tnt one (both are also easy to automate). Glad you are having fun with Botania, it's a bit of an underrated mod, sadly.
I think he may be using it/her off camera or terminated her for taking over the lab or something like that
Etho, your Minecraft projects are always fantastic.
0:35 "... finish things you start" WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL ETHO!?
When using the wooden pressure plate to activate the other mana spreader to move the items to the altar. You can use the painter from open blocks to colour the pressure plate invisible with clear glass
Hey Etho, a mod you have called ExtraCells adds in the ME Dropper. you could set up an applied energetics system running on solar panels to fill items for the rune crafting, stuff like the fishing rods for example.
Do you ever just go back and rewatch old episodes because they were just too good XD
That Excavater would be good in a Skyblock map, Etho said...
In Skyfactory he wanted to build a blast furnace for steel....
I think we know what Ethos planning!
it would be cool if, for the floor, have a giant lava pit with glass paths, above, connecting to each rune statue. Seems like a lot of work, but you might as well go all out! Love your videos by the way!
Etho, you can use a series of sparks to beam mana from a pool to a machine. they are more efficient then normal spreaders. also, you should try to get the portal to alfheim up and running. although you can't travel to another world with it, you can exchange certain items you can make for items only available there (start by throwing in the book, it will tell you how to do the bulk of the botania stuff).
Hey Etho, the Diesel Generator from Immersive Engineering outputs 4096 a tick. You can use all sorts of fuel in it! The downside is it exhausts fuel relatively quick. But it's worth a shot!
You can dye/rename the bags to organize your inventory a little better; additionally you can also use the enchanted satchel from thermal expansion which can hold even more items.
0:50 -- "For some reason the guide we had was an eclipse." -- *BZZZT!* It's Ellipse, Etho. Eclipses are to do with syzygy, circles are a special type of ellipse. That's why the guide is an ellipse, maybe.
See also Conic Sections.
Sees an etho video "yay" sees that it is a modded minecraft video "YAY!!!" Sees that it has the word laser in the title "YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀"
who else love when in etho's vids he just leaves 2 seconds before he starts talking? xD
The moment that music dropped. XD
Etho, you're the best.
Etho, Mekanism gives you a way to produce FIVE ingots from one ore. Not all ores are supported (mostly metals, not stuff like coal) and it's quite power hungry (~4000RF/t when fully automated), but it would be a great way to get a huge stockpile of resources going.
The botania base is so creative and cool! thanks for the great video
my suggestion for mana creation is use the water flowers. connect them up to an infinite water source and they'll produce mana. I havent used botania for quite a few updates though so they might not work quite the same as they used to
Etho 2 things.
1.Mana spreaders take mana from a mana pool behind them.
2. I know your bags are named, but dye them different colours to make them easier to tell the difference
8:35 i just noticed there is a shuriken looking rune ..... Perfect match for Etho :)
I have never seen Botania used properly before so I look forward to seeing how far you go into the mod.
in regards to the floating things in the rune crafting setup, maybe you could make curved claw like pillars where the tip is what shoots the mana beams, and the one in the center having it loop like a floating crystal. then making it rain at the start, and shoot lighting all around the alter while it's crafting would be great.
OMG At 14:54 AWSOME!!!! BEST IDEA EVER!!! EPIC MUSIC GOOOOOOOO
