Etho, for the twilight forest, the progression system is based completely on achievements. When you get the achievement, it will unlock the next area automatically. All you have to do is pick up the required item. If you already killed the boss and you didn't get the achievement, just drop the item on the ground and pick it back up again and you will get it. So in your case, all you had to do was to just drop the scepter and pick it back up to unlock the swamp.
+if u didnt notice this name u deserve a cookie To add to this: Often after defeating a boss you pick up the "special item" BEFORE the trophy, which unlocks the prerequisite. The solution above fixes this.
+if u didnt notice this name u deserve a cookie Hello guys!! I'm Creating Minecraft Animations!! Visit my channel if you want to see them!! My newest is Dungeon Escape - Minecraft Animation
i dont mind you having some time off and not preparing videos, i encourage it even, you work hard for us. but please next time just tweet so we know you are alright and we dont have to be wondering for days
Unlike other TH-camrs Etho, you edit your videos quite heavily. Most just do a single take, even if nothing much happens. That's how they can get ahead, their "edits" are just cuts for the next video. I can't speak for all of your fans/subscribers, but I wouldn't mind one take videos from time to time. I do love your edits, but if you do like taking little vacations here and there, just make some one take videos for the time. Then we won't miss you so much
+Lucas K. Same. I just meant when he's planning on taking a bit of a break to relax. He could make a bunch of one take episodes for the days he's gone.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one! Etho, I appreciate that you work hard for us, but thank goodness ur Okay! I was depressed cuz u didn't upload!
+TitanicTaner Hello guys!! I'm Creating Minecraft Animations!! Visit my channel if you want to see them!! My newest is Dungeon Escape - Minecraft Animation
The difference between your videos and others is the amount of time you put into them. The TH-camrs that can produce ahead of theirselves just record 20 Minutes of talking. You however put several hours into one video and cut it down to ~25 Minutes, that's why you will probably never be able to produce more than you can upload. That's completely fine however because I love to watch videos where you feel how much work someone put unto it. Keep what doing what you're doing, take as many breaks as it needs to make you feel relaxed !
hey I put hours into videos, but try to cut them down or split them for TH-cam, because most people don't want to watch a 1.5~3.5 hour video, and don't have time to even if they did.
+toa56584 problem is, I wind up not having time to 'edit' the videos I make, because of how often I try to make them, and how often YouDefinitlyNeedVeinMiner tries to make them.
+toa56584 Editing would very much help your videos. I watched of few from your Minecraft LP, and each episode has a lot of pausing to check something irl, loads of lag (not your fault), and a lot of mindless activity. Minecraft is a very fun and enjoyable game, but your audience isn't playing minecraft- they're watching you play. Editing out the little things will vastly increase your quality of content, even though your quantity will lower.
Etho, Extra Utilities' Cursed Earth is far better for mob and XP farms than spawners. It spawns vanilla mobs very fast based in the place it's in; place it in a nether fortress and you'll get wither skeletons and blazes.
Compact Machines solve FPS issues quite easily. I suggest making different compact machines for different things, then connecting them through the interfaces. For example, have one for ore processing that your AE system exports ore into, then imports through an Ender Chest or whatever. Since Compact Machines automatically chunkload you don't have to worry about it stopping. Also, the Twilight Forest achievements are triggered when you pick up an item associated with the achievement, so if they get stuck just drop the item on the ground and pick it up again to get the achievement. Lastly, for the skeleton grinder: The Ethereal Sword has infinite durability, so I suggest making one for the Killer Joe. Have it export XP into an experience obelisk to avoid backlogging liquid XP and to avoid wasting time right-clicking on the tanks to retrieve it.
Honestly Etho this is one of the best modded minecraft series on youtube. You try your best to use every mod in the pack, you use your brain to make really cool things and you are super entertaining!
Etho you can make a etheric swrod from unstable ingots and put it in the killer joe and it will last FOREVER,also the enchants on the sword will affect the mobs killed,so if you got exp boost enchant from ender io you will get more exp,keep being awesome!
Nice to have you back, Etho! First of all, don't stress out too much - everyone needs their time off. Just tell us when you're back before leaving. Second, the lag is bearable and I hope it won't crash anymore - I was very worried when you had problems with both your modded series and then disappeared for a few days. Also hope that modpack will stay playable for a long time and you will be able to make this series long(100+ episodes). Good luck and keep up the good content!)
I remember back in middle school and my early high school days, I used to click on every single one of your uploads as soon as it appeared in my subscription. I'm now a junior and I rarely watch your videos anymore. It seems I have grown out of or got bored of minecraft so I just stopped watching one day. Whatever the reason I stopped watching may be, I feel like I need to give you a huge thank you for being a main source of entertainment of mine for three years. I haven't watched your videos in forever, but I definitely need to show some kind of gratitude towards you.
Etho, your videos are also much higher content quality than most other youtubers (especially those who "record twenty episodes ahead of time"). Don't sweat it too much. Just come back to us eventually and we'll love you all the same. Puts a smile on my face every time I see you upload, but don't work yourself to death please. (:
Oh, check Etho's socialblade page. He's in NO need for money. For a channel his size he regularly pulls in views similar of that to a channel 3x or 4x bigger.
A lot of people who get ahead do so because they have little planning and record without cuts. You plan your episodes well, have projects each time, an idea, cut and edit out the unimportant (but usually time consuming) things. That in no way makes you a "bad youtuber". Keep it up because you're the only youtuber I watch anymore because of your quality.
This series really encouraged me to put together my own modpack and kinda play along with watching your vids! Love this series and i encourage you to keep at it! Love the creativity you are putting in to each project, absolutely love it man!
Good Episode! if you are worried about the cables, maybe take a look at the conduits from EnderIO. They are in my opinion far superior to the other ones and you can bundle them into a single strand or block. They also look better i think!
its not that you are a bad youtuber etho, its that you are too great of an youtuber, because you have always made a lot of progress in each video and made pretty good editing. You just have been slacking off a lot the past weeks, which doesnt surprise me for the ammount of time you spend in minecraft every single month. You are my youtube star dude :) just dont let that fatigue kill your activity and awesomeness as a youtuber bro!
Honestly Etho you are the only youtuber I can think of that I watch every one of your videos. I think you're a great youtuber, and I don't mind if you take some time off. Everybody needs a break every now and then, and you already put so much work in that I think it's perfectly fine to go a few days without videos. Thanks for all your hard work!
The reason why you can't be 20 videos ahead is because you make quality videos, personally I like quality over quantity. That's why I love every sign,e one of your videos.
You are not a bad youtuber!!! I used to watch a lot of other minecrafters (iJevin, CaptinSparklez, ChimneySwift, Mumbo), but I've since unsubbed from all of them over the past few years. You (and xisuma) are the only two minecrafters I have continuously watched season after season (or in your case episode after episode because you don't really do the whole 'season' thing!) Anyways, I love what you do and even though I look forward to both Vanilla and Modded every single day, I fully understand that you deserve some you time (just as long as you promise to come back !)
*+Ethan Arrowood* I feel the same way! I used to watch the Yogscast when I was 11 (ahh...memories) and I wouldn't mind waiting a few days for an update of SOI (the main series that they used to produce, the one that they got popular making). It was only when they started uploading less, and eventually replacing SOI with other things that I really stopped watching. As long as Etho continues doing what he's doing, I'll be happy to stay for the ride!
+MegaAkamara it was actually a while ago. He stopped being consistent with his Minecraft videos and in my opinion the quality was dropping so I just lost interest. I'm more for the survival instead of Hunger Games which is what he kept playing over and over.
Etho, you might not make many videos,but you are the best youtuber in my book because every single video you make puts a big smile on my face.Wow, that looks like a big sentence.
ok, the Twilight Forest is based on achievements, the reason you did not get the achievement is because you picked up the septer before the trophy, all you had to do was throw the zombie septer you already had on the ground and pick it back up
I missed you but man, take as much rest as you need, for the most amazing content made as you always do. I will follow each videos of minecraft from you, since the LP 100, so many years already... You was with me when I was lost, when I was on the road for 3 years, and now that I own a company... Thanks Etho you're a friend to me.
+Luke Ritter He knows that, just he had already beat the Lich so he was confused, the real cause is that the achievements bugged out and he didn't get it, though all he would have needed to do is drop and pick up the scepter.
Luke Ritter No problem, I like it when people are nice :) As opposed to the people who throw a tantrum over having their mistake pointed out in this case.
+yaksher I think you are partially correct, but the biggest reason is he didn't kill the Naga before killing the Lich King. He didn't unlock the achievement path.
The mod "Opis" is a server profiler. It will show you what's lagging and let you see the coordinates. It's based off MapWriter, you can find it on the Minecraft forums.
+VividBagels It's a modded* game mechanic. It's kind of broken because of the consistency of spawners. The mod broken spawners are from wasn't meant to be used with this kind of modpack.
+Tyler Leoppky It's Ender IO's mechanic. Ender IO allows you to pick-up spawners when you break them. Combine it with a powered spawner and you're good to go. The only downside is that it still behaves like a normal spawner, so you have to be in a 16 block radius or something..
Etho! There's clues on how to progress. When you get effected by mosquitos or any other protective spell, creature called kobold is spawned aggroed at you, holding a book (you saw that blue, big eared guy in the swamp, chasing you ) . The book explains the plot.
Generally with EnderIO stuff you don't need active pulling output such as servos on ducts. If you use that configuration page you had open in the killer joe you can set a side to push and it will auto eject the items / fluids. Same goes for pull, you can just have a chest or tank beside the machine and set it to pull and it will automatically pull from the inventory. It's super useful and good to know since it can save quite a bit of space and resources.
Etho, if you make a diamond dolly, you can pick up spawners and move them around. Put them in a golden bag or a container other than your inventory to get rid of the slowness and walk at normal speed. As for the floating island, if you do end up doing it, I'd recommend making a small mountain-like build and then using schematica to flip it upside down so you get the flat side facing up which would be the island surface and the mountain-like area would be the peaks at the bottom. :)
After all this time Etho still doesn't know how to do the Lich King fight right. What you do is knock the ender pearl like orbs back at the boss which is what the blue-green smoke is, the way you hit it back is like a ghast fireball. For the orange smoke spawns an explosive orb that well explodes so its best to dodge them. The random adds that he spawns ( not the zombies) are immune to everything and just spawn either the pearls or the explosive orbs. The number of pearls needed is however number of shields that are rotating around him. Hopefully Etho sees this and fights the boss how it was built and not make us sit here longer doing the fight not right because if he did it right he'll be done a lot faster and he will have to plan more for us to see!
You know what you can do Etho!Get an etheric sword and make an enchanter from ender IO and get the looting , xp boost and sharpness enchants and put them on the sword!The sword has infinite durability so you wont bother putting a new sword and the enchants speak for themselves!I don't know if you knew this but you can move spawners depending on what mods you have :porta spawner ,diamond dolly,portal gun. Oh and also you can put cursed earth under spawner so that you don't need to be withing a 16 block range of it to spawn meaning you don't have to be there for the spawner to work! ;P
Etho just so you know that achievement was unlocked by picking up the sceptre but the first time you did it you must have picked up the sceptre before picking up the trophy so the trophy achievement unlocked but it unlocked after you picked up the sceptre so it didn't unlock the next achievement. Keep up the great work :D
Etho, you don't have to be like other youtubers, you're the best at your things, keep it like that. You have something unique like other youtubers don't have, Keep it like that etho. Good Video as always!
You should consider a "holiday" series 2 or so times a year where we all know that's it's going to be recorded in one or two big sittings for you, but can be broken up into multiple videos for us. As long as you're transparent about it it'd be a good way to get some time off of the grind and come back fresh. A lot of those youtubers that massively prerecord content make it painfully obvious that it's old footage. One of the best things about your channel is how interactive you are with your viewers!
Glad you had some time off. You sound recharged and this video was AWESOME. Thanks Etho! Keep it up :) But yeah, as others said, maybe a tweet or something to let us know!
Etho you shouldn't worry about not being able to record ahead of time. I think your quality of content is much bettter than that of other Minecraft youtubers. Keep up the good work!
A tip for the twilight forest Etho: Boss' drops are the triggers for the actual achievements and the progression to happen. By default you pick the trophy up before the actual drops, so you don't get the stuff triggered in order. Simply drop the rare drop from the boss mob again and pick it up to get the achievement. ^^
I have a toaster of a computer (can hardly run modded minecraft @ 10 fps). I had to take out all smart cables and it got a little better. so yes try replacing them. btw great vid and i'll never unsub you just because you take time off. You have helped me twice through depression over the years. You are my fav youtuber. All this is to say thank you, and keep it up.
hey etho! it is no surprise to me, that you are not able to make multiple videos a day. a lot of thought must go into these, because they never fail to entertain me, even after the 4 years that i am watching. you absolutely deserve to take some days of from time to time!
Etho, in my experience with applied energistics its usually the auto-crafting chambers that cause the most lag both fps and tick rate. The only real solution is to use as few as possible and hide them. I'm not sure how helpful that info will be but its all I've got. Thank you for the videos and please continue to make them for us for as long as you enjoy it.
You know Etho if you have project red expansion you can fully automate the production of stone swords pretty easily. The mod has autocrafting benches that don't take power which would mean not having to manually replace the sword Killer Joe uses to kill the mobs. I have done the same thing, but with axes for my tree farm, which is zero maintenance, and I like that quite a bit. I just like automating things, but it might be more trouble than its worth. If not you could always set up a timer to take the sword out and recharge it before it runs out of power, and maybe power the charging system with a tesseract (if they will transfer power across dimensions that is).
Your best plan is to move some of the machines to a different location, there is a lot of things going at once at the floating island causing the fps to suffer! I love your videos keep the good stuff up!
Etho, don't be sad that you want to take some time off. It is much better than a rushed video that you really didn't want to do. The only thing I would like is maybe an announcement on Reddit because we got a little worried about what could have happened. Great video, E!
Don't be like others your the only youtuber that makes "High quality enjoyable videos" take a break whenever you need as long as you keep making high quality videos.
Hey Etho, a great source of power is using a stirling generator with an octadic capacitor in it. It will produce 80rf per tick and be super efficient. Good Luck!!
Etho, the reason to why you didn't unlock the swamp might be because you picked up the scepter before the trophy and because of that it didn't register you picking up the scepter. To get by that without defeating another lich, you could have just threw it onto the ground and picked it up again. Love you videos and keep up the good work!
etho your not a bad youtuber, you are you, I remeber you saying each of your eps take 9ish hours to make, if that's what it takes to make your vids keep doing so, don't worry about getting "ahead" or anything like that, especially when you take breaks, everyone needs breaks once in a while, just keep being you and doing what you do best!
The opjects that can produce lag are transparent blocks, fences, highly texture item/blocks/animation, carpenter blocks. Cables such as wires or ME I think are as laggy as fences. Also keep in mind chunks load up to down so if you have anything burning/smoke, lava or water flow that could be underground can cause lag. I would also recommend changing your render to low it will help you find the source of the lag. Also sorry for my grammar I am dislexic and too tired and annoyed that my pc broke to even try to fix my grammar. lol loved the video btw.
Hey Etho! Been watching your videos from ...my first days of highschool. It's now my last year in university, and I'd like to tell you that you've been a huge positive influence on my life (except for when it's exam crunch time). Thanks for everything! It sounds like maybe you should take some time to thinking about how you want to continue with your channel. It's never stale for viewers like myself, but the last thing we want is for you to make videos for the sake of making videos.
For the lag in your world, install a mod called Opis. It can break down every single block space and return a tick rate value, showing you what is it doing and how much is it doing for. It can also directly highlight that troublesome block in your world.
Hi Etho, the Blue slimes are natural spawns. I've noticed it too in my modded survival world (different modpack than yours), Twilight Forest was absolutely overrun with the TC Blue slimes. If you want you can disable the natural spawns in your config file by setting "Blue Slime spawn chance" to 0. It will disable all natural spawns, but they should still spawn on the slime islands in the sky.
Hey Etho there's this awesome mod called Opis that allows you to see where lag is happening in your Minecraft world. It gives processor usage of specific blocks and entities. It has a gui interface and everything. That mod could help you pinpoint what blocks/ entities are causing the lag.
Etho, just as an FYI you can automate pearl oysters. they can be placed on hoppers and you can run a pipe into the side to place sand into them., ( I used mekanism pipes but transfer nodes would also work, Buildcraft to but they would take more effort because they drop items.) so you set up the oysters on a line of hoppers running into a buffer chest that you can pipe out of and have sand running into the side and bang, automated mariculture pearls.
Etho, for the twilight forest, the progression system is based completely on achievements. When you get the achievement, it will unlock the next area automatically. All you have to do is pick up the required item. If you already killed the boss and you didn't get the achievement, just drop the item on the ground and pick it back up again and you will get it. So in your case, all you had to do was to just drop the scepter and pick it back up to unlock the swamp.
I was yelling that at my screen.

+עמית לוי Great idea!
+עמית לוי I thought the etheric sword lowers them to 1hp but doesn't kill them so you couldn't get xp
TheMineLands I remember people of FC using the killer joes with Etheric swords... they didn't have any problems
yovli porat It might ignore the special stat of the sword and just use the dmg value.
The ingots blow up after 10 seconds. How would you ever make a sword out of them?
Nice to have you back, Etho! First of all, don't stress out too much - everyone needs their time off. Just tell us when you're back before leaving.

That explorer's notebook drop is fantastic game design. It's a really good way to introduce lore for the area, in-universe.
You are not a bad youtuber!!! I used to watch a lot of other minecrafters (iJevin, CaptinSparklez, ChimneySwift, Mumbo), but I've since unsubbed from all of them over the past few years. You (and xisuma) are the only two minecrafters I have continuously watched season after season (or in your case episode after episode because you don't really do the whole 'season' thing!) Anyways, I love what you do and even though I look forward to both Vanilla and Modded every single day, I fully understand that you deserve some you time (just as long as you promise to come back !)
Ijevin was so good and got so bad so quickly
Yes! Exactly! What got me was he had such good worlds and kept restarting cause he wouldn't back anything up or would simply get bored of the world.
*+Ethan Arrowood* I feel the same way! I used to watch the Yogscast when I was 11 (ahh...memories) and I wouldn't mind waiting a few days for an update of SOI (the main series that they used to produce, the one that they got popular making). It was only when they started uploading less, and eventually replacing SOI with other things that I really stopped watching. As long as Etho continues doing what he's doing, I'll be happy to stay for the ride!
Why have you unsubbed from captainsparklez? Was it because of his new love for csgo?
+MegaAkamara it was actually a while ago. He stopped being consistent with his Minecraft videos and in my opinion the quality was dropping so I just lost interest. I'm more for the survival instead of Hunger Games which is what he kept playing over and over.
The reason you can't get ahead is because the quality of your videos is so great!
keep up the good work etho!
First time ever that Etho has finished a project instead of putting it off.
*3rd time
Still way less than the amount of projects he's done as a whole
Thank you for making my days brighter
Waaiit, Etho built a fancy roof? :F
:D *
+Lucas K. and didnt complain about building it!!!!!
Etho, you might not make many videos,but you are the best youtuber in my book because every single video you make puts a big smile on my face.Wow, that looks like a big sentence.
ok, the Twilight Forest is based on achievements, the reason you did not get the achievement is because you picked up the septer before the trophy, all you had to do was throw the zombie septer you already had on the ground and pick it back up
Etho's voice in headphones always gives me ASMR. Keep up the good work!
Etho, pls do take breaks, just let us know! ^^,
I missed you but man, take as much rest as you need, for the most amazing content made as you always do. I will follow each videos of minecraft from you, since the LP 100, so many years already... You was with me when I was lost, when I was on the road for 3 years, and now that I own a company... Thanks Etho you're a friend to me.
You have to beat the bosses in a certain order to enter "locked" biomes (like the mosquitoes)
+Luke Ritter He knows that, just he had already beat the Lich so he was confused, the real cause is that the achievements bugged out and he didn't get it, though all he would have needed to do is drop and pick up the scepter.
Oh, OK, I'm watching multiple modded series and this seems to be a common question... guess I just got my series mixed up :P
Luke Ritter No problem, I like it when people are nice :) As opposed to the people who throw a tantrum over having their mistake pointed out in this case.
Thanks!
+yaksher I think you are partially correct, but the biggest reason is he didn't kill the Naga before killing the Lich King. He didn't unlock the achievement path.
The mod "Opis" is a server profiler. It will show you what's lagging and let you see the coordinates. It's based off MapWriter, you can find it on the Minecraft forums.
@etho. If you break spawners you get broken one and you can make powered spawners anywhere you want
that's cheap
+Noah Bear It's a game mechanic which is meant to be used that way. Not cheap.
+VividBagels It's a modded* game mechanic. It's kind of broken because of the consistency of spawners. The mod broken spawners are from wasn't meant to be used with this kind of modpack.
+Tyler Leoppky It's Ender IO's mechanic. Ender IO allows you to pick-up spawners when you break them. Combine it with a powered spawner and you're good to go. The only downside is that it still behaves like a normal spawner, so you have to be in a 16 block radius or something..
5:45 Direwolf would be so proud ;)
Etho! There's clues on how to progress. When you get effected by mosquitos or any other protective spell, creature called kobold is spawned aggroed at you, holding a book (you saw that blue, big eared guy in the swamp, chasing you ) . The book explains the plot.
Generally with EnderIO stuff you don't need active pulling output such as servos on ducts. If you use that configuration page you had open in the killer joe you can set a side to push and it will auto eject the items / fluids. Same goes for pull, you can just have a chest or tank beside the machine and set it to pull and it will automatically pull from the inventory. It's super useful and good to know since it can save quite a bit of space and resources.
Various Emi systems? Katawa Shoujo reference anyone?
I feel like I should say something witty... butt... I can't be... arsed...
+lololol917 It's like an ME system, but it can only store lemons.
LOL
+lololol917 Emi is best ending.
Etho, if you make a diamond dolly, you can pick up spawners and move them around. Put them in a golden bag or a container other than your inventory to get rid of the slowness and walk at normal speed. As for the floating island, if you do end up doing it, I'd recommend making a small mountain-like build and then using schematica to flip it upside down so you get the flat side facing up which would be the island surface and the mountain-like area would be the peaks at the bottom. :)
Hey Etho! I think your mom is causing the lag :)
I havent played minecraft in a loong time, and i still watch eatch of your minecraft videos. pretty much the only youtuber i watch anymore
After all this time Etho still doesn't know how to do the Lich King fight right. What you do is knock the ender pearl like orbs back at the boss which is what the blue-green smoke is, the way you hit it back is like a ghast fireball. For the orange smoke spawns an explosive orb that well explodes so its best to dodge them. The random adds that he spawns ( not the zombies) are immune to everything and just spawn either the pearls or the explosive orbs. The number of pearls needed is however number of shields that are rotating around him. Hopefully Etho sees this and fights the boss how it was built and not make us sit here longer doing the fight not right because if he did it right he'll be done a lot faster and he will have to plan more for us to see!
You're not a bad TH-camr! You were the first TH-camr I ever saw, and the first one I subscribed to, and I'm still subscribed to you!
Don't Change The Island, Buy A Core i7 6700 That Should Fix Your Frame Rate
+RaGe Shot2KilHD But he has an LGA 1150 socket so it would require a mobo upgrade.
Yeah I Was Just Being The TH-cam Comment Section "Upgrade Your Hardware If Your Lagging"
RaGe Shot2KilHD I guess you were also being the "Capitalize the first letter of every word person"
+RaGe Shot2KilHD Wouldn't the GPU be the thing needing upgrading?
+Aetherdestroyer No, That's Something I Actually Do
You know what you can do Etho!Get an etheric sword and make an enchanter from ender IO and get the looting , xp boost and sharpness enchants and put them on the sword!The sword has infinite durability so you wont bother putting a new sword and the enchants speak for themselves!I don't know if you knew this but you can move spawners depending on what mods you have :porta spawner ,diamond dolly,portal gun. Oh and also you can put cursed earth under spawner so that you don't need to be withing a 16 block range of it to spawn meaning you don't have to be there for the spawner to work! ;P
Etho just so you know that achievement was unlocked by picking up the sceptre but the first time you did it you must have picked up the sceptre before picking up the trophy so the trophy achievement unlocked but it unlocked after you picked up the sceptre so it didn't unlock the next achievement. Keep up the great work :D
Etho, you don't have to be like other youtubers, you're the best at your things, keep it like that. You have something unique like other youtubers don't have, Keep it like that etho. Good Video as always!
You should consider a "holiday" series 2 or so times a year where we all know that's it's going to be recorded in one or two big sittings for you, but can be broken up into multiple videos for us. As long as you're transparent about it it'd be a good way to get some time off of the grind and come back fresh.
A lot of those youtubers that massively prerecord content make it painfully obvious that it's old footage. One of the best things about your channel is how interactive you are with your viewers!
Glad you had some time off. You sound recharged and this video was AWESOME. Thanks Etho! Keep it up :) But yeah, as others said, maybe a tweet or something to let us know!
I turn so happy when Etho decides to upload. I really do.
Etho you shouldn't worry about not being able to record ahead of time. I think your quality of content is much bettter than that of other Minecraft youtubers. Keep up the good work!
I was waiting for so long... I missed you, Etho!!! Glad you're back.
Etho your vacations are fine. Your needs are just as important as our enjoyment of your videos :)
A tip for the twilight forest Etho: Boss' drops are the triggers for the actual achievements and the progression to happen. By default you pick the trophy up before the actual drops, so you don't get the stuff triggered in order. Simply drop the rare drop from the boss mob again and pick it up to get the achievement. ^^
Can we all just take a minute and appreciate... THAT ETHO BUILT A ROOF!! And a pretty nice one to boot!
I have a toaster of a computer (can hardly run modded minecraft @ 10 fps). I had to take out all smart cables and it got a little better. so yes try replacing them.
btw great vid and i'll never unsub you just because you take time off. You have helped me twice through depression over the years. You are my fav youtuber. All this is to say thank you, and keep it up.
"Nature provides"-2016 ethos new motto
i just caught up to this series, thank you this is really cool.
make more, do not ever stop.
hey etho! it is no surprise to me, that you are not able to make multiple videos a day. a lot of thought must go into these, because they never fail to entertain me, even after the 4 years that i am watching. you absolutely deserve to take some days of from time to time!
Really like the house. I can see you finally are strong to learn roofing!
I love the house you made in the twilight forest Etho it looks amazing
This is awesome Etho!! you almost have 2 million subs!! thanks for everything you have done and keep up the good work!!
Etho, in my experience with applied energistics its usually the auto-crafting chambers that cause the most lag both fps and tick rate. The only real solution is to use as few as possible and hide them. I'm not sure how helpful that info will be but its all I've got. Thank you for the videos and please continue to make them for us for as long as you enjoy it.
You know Etho if you have project red expansion you can fully automate the production of stone swords pretty easily. The mod has autocrafting benches that don't take power which would mean not having to manually replace the sword Killer Joe uses to kill the mobs. I have done the same thing, but with axes for my tree farm, which is zero maintenance, and I like that quite a bit. I just like automating things, but it might be more trouble than its worth. If not you could always set up a timer to take the sword out and recharge it before it runs out of power, and maybe power the charging system with a tesseract (if they will transfer power across dimensions that is).
Your best plan is to move some of the machines to a different location, there is a lot of things going at once at the floating island causing the fps to suffer! I love your videos keep the good stuff up!
Etho, don't be sad that you want to take some time off. It is much better than a rushed video that you really didn't want to do. The only thing I would like is maybe an announcement on Reddit because we got a little worried about what could have happened. Great video, E!
Don't be like others your the only youtuber that makes "High quality enjoyable videos" take a break whenever you need as long as you keep making high quality videos.
Hey Etho, a great source of power is using a stirling generator with an octadic capacitor in it. It will produce 80rf per tick and be super efficient.
Good Luck!!
Etho, the reason to why you didn't unlock the swamp might be because you picked up the scepter before the trophy and because of that it didn't register you picking up the scepter. To get by that without defeating another lich, you could have just threw it onto the ground and picked it up again. Love you videos and keep up the good work!
Its been forever! Glad we've got a vid and he isn't t dead 😝
etho your not a bad youtuber, you are you, I remeber you saying each of your eps take 9ish hours to make, if that's what it takes to make your vids keep doing so, don't worry about getting "ahead" or anything like that, especially when you take breaks, everyone needs breaks once in a while, just keep being you and doing what you do best!
Finally he's back!! I was afraid you were sick! Good to have you back Etho (:
Etho's videos are really high quality that's why he can never get ahead!
"The texture on this flower is amazing!" *10x10 image* lol
The twilight forest progression checks are related to the achievements, and the achievements come from the trophies the bosses drop
The opjects that can produce lag are transparent blocks, fences, highly texture item/blocks/animation, carpenter blocks. Cables such as wires or ME I think are as laggy as fences. Also keep in mind chunks load up to down so if you have anything burning/smoke, lava or water flow that could be underground can cause lag. I would also recommend changing your render to low it will help you find the source of the lag. Also sorry for my grammar I am dislexic and too tired and annoyed that my pc broke to even try to fix my grammar. lol loved the video btw.
I love your fishing village. the lily's are a great touch! :)
I hope you have a wonderful day too Etho!
Hey Etho! Been watching your videos from ...my first days of highschool. It's now my last year in university, and I'd like to tell you that you've been a huge positive influence on my life (except for when it's exam crunch time). Thanks for everything! It sounds like maybe you should take some time to thinking about how you want to continue with your channel. It's never stale for viewers like myself, but the last thing we want is for you to make videos for the sake of making videos.
Iloveyou man, i just enjoy every video you make and i cant sleep before i have seen one.
Etho, don't worry about it. You deserve some time off! As long as your videos are this good I'll keep watching!!
"Nature provides everything you need!"
Hippietho has risen.
For the lag in your world, install a mod called Opis. It can break down every single block space and return a tick rate value, showing you what is it doing and how much is it doing for. It can also directly highlight that troublesome block in your world.
That was a great episode Etho! Long, just how I like them!
etho is love, etho is life
ethi, keep up your good work!
Hi Etho, the Blue slimes are natural spawns. I've noticed it too in my modded survival world (different modpack than yours), Twilight Forest was absolutely overrun with the TC Blue slimes. If you want you can disable the natural spawns in your config file by setting "Blue Slime spawn chance" to 0. It will disable all natural spawns, but they should still spawn on the slime islands in the sky.
Glad you got some time for yourself..... but we missed you. Glad you're back
hi etho you shade now that the endear dragon heda can be activated with red stowen and it while make the Mawth move
(sore for the spieling )
Hey Etho there's this awesome mod called Opis that allows you to see where lag is happening in your Minecraft world. It gives processor usage of specific blocks and entities. It has a gui interface and everything. That mod could help you pinpoint what blocks/ entities are causing the lag.
Looks like a slime farm outside the AFK shack is a good project for another episode!
Etho, just as an FYI you can automate pearl oysters. they can be placed on hoppers and you can run a pipe into the side to place sand into them., ( I used mekanism pipes but transfer nodes would also work, Buildcraft to but they would take more effort because they drop items.) so you set up the oysters on a line of hoppers running into a buffer chest that you can pipe out of and have sand running into the side and bang, automated mariculture pearls.
