The LONGEST Running Minecraft Let's Play...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- Many of us started playing minecraft because of a let's play, whether it was X's adventures in minecraft or PaulsoaresJr, or whoever else. But what if I told you that one of those early let's players is still going to this day, with over 500 episodes and the series lasting about 10 years...

Etho made your mom jokes that were good in 2010, and still continues to make great your mom jokes in 2020.
E to the t to your mum
3:54
"Dirt wasn't enough, I can only think of one thing heavier than diamonds..."
And he will forever
"why don't we use the heaviest thing known to man..... Your mom"
honourable mention: a german youtuber known as gronkh started his lets play in october of 2010 and it ran for over 1200 episodes
Wollte ich sagen xD
Ja, i can confirm this
Goden Tag
uncut raw episodes. etho has as much efford in an episode as gronkh had in 20. i liked him as a kid but thats one of the reasons i stopped watching
@@machanji9586 completely different format. Being able to talk for the amount of time and the consistency of Gronkh is a hard skill that only few people have. What Etho does, is way more a genius behind having fun at minecraft
alternative title: the guy that never left his minecraft dog
isnt that kurtjmac
cool profile pic bring back memories
@USSR ok 30 year old dead union
@USSR OK BOOMER
@UCxtDPmwqRYL3ikV_hjdYZWw bruh gumball is a show from 2013 boomers are 40 yr olds or more idiot. Also don't call me a boomer cuz I'm 10 but not a dumbass like you are. Try to respect people more jerk.
Me, an intellectual: Etho Slab
Thought the same
That's the oldest joke about etho
The slabin
I bet he has never seen a slab with a sign etho
Another important note: The grass in Ethos base is a bigger deal than most realize because back then you couldn’t get grass blocks. He had to make a path of dirt down and let the grass grow into the cave
that's not that hard, just make a grass path and wait
@@2911oscar Yeah but he had to wait a long time for that to happen and it must've taken a lot of effort as if he broke a dirt block on accident etc. he'd have to wait for the grass to grow back and stuff.
@@Charlie-hv3dh it's only like 20 blocks from the entrance of the cave to the outside, and you can make it 3 wide. As i said, not hard, just takes time
@@2911oscar you just find a way to shit on anything anyone's done dont you
@@2911oscar just load up 1.0 and his seed xD and check for yourself how much time it takes to have a few hundred blocks of grass grow in the cave ;)
There's always been something different about Etho. He stands out and is hugely influential, yet he flies under the radar of being mainstream. Absolute legend in my opinion.
i think part of his appeal is his community in that the people who watch him are really there for *him* ya know, and the fact he flies under the radar by refusing to acknowledge the conventions of youtube, it just helps maintain that amazing group of loyal fans. Hes honestly just so chaotic and wholesome at the same time in a way that feels like an old friend you never really have to catch up with because you know eachother that well, and theres something so deeply comforting about that
He deserves so much more than he's given and he's so humble. He recently hit 2millions subscribers breaking his invisible 1.8m barrier!!!
It's quite weird. He's part of the group that created UHC, was a pioneer in redstone and quite a decent PvPer.
@@PeterJavi decent pvper I would say no but for everything else yes yes yes
He’s the poster child for “under the radar”
Well there is also a German Let's Player who had a pretty long running Minecraft Let's Play, it only ran 4 years, but he made 1200+ Episodes or so, I always saw that as pretty impressive.
Gronkh :)
@@stormchaserkst4496 indeed
Den Kommentar hab ich gesucht haha
since gronkh never started a new world in this lets play i would say its one of even not the longest contiues lets play
gronkh (:
Just searched Etho out of curiosity the moment MisterEpic said his name, and after hearing the fact that "he never creates clickbait thumbnails" as I look to Ethos most recent videos, I started to feel like I just found a holy grail that cannot be found easily anymore.
Let's not forget the created the "Etho clock" also known as "Hopper clock", one of the most used redstone contraptions to this day
And the original BUD design
Etho never called it etho clock himself, I learn this name at other channels
@@hansfactory4296 yeah he would never do something so narcissistic
@@SantiagoRodriguez-zi3gv What about his doors, though?
Etho’s 3x3 door with the middle block missing so u can enderpearl through
God. Etho is just my security blanket. No matter how much changes or goes wrong, I always know I can pop over to his channel and hear his voice echoing in the man cave.
Do you know the tragedy of the man who played Patch Adams? Its not one the Jedi would tell. A funny man who brought light and happiness to many. The moral is the people who eat the badness feel like they cant/shouldn't let badness affect themselves, and the badness piles up, eventually the worst bad thing happens.
Those are the words i was looking for
he really is just such a safe place
mhm :)
Bailey Ernst yeah
Me when I see Etho's sword is named Chidori: No wonder he looks like Kakashi
He named the series Chidori because of his Kakashi skin
Raikiri
He has stated that he chose the Kakashi skin because it was the most detailed skin at the time and he knew nothing of Naruto at the time (I'm not sure but he may have still never watched it).
But he does make references to being Kakashi from time to time which is a delight.
etho said “hey everyone, this is e to the t to your mom” in the calmest and the most friendly voice ever
I think his biggest flex is that he's managed to go all 10 years without a curse word uttered.
Well, more or less. In his let’s play I can’t think of any. But two occasions spring to mine. A team canada prank on mindcrack. And an ooge play through of three_twos vinyl fantasy CTM map. Granted Etho edited it out on his end. But it can be heard on he videos of those he was playing with at the time.
@@Birdman3393 I was thinking of those but even then you have to go out of your way to find them
AdsorbentEel03 yeah exactly. I’ve always respected his commitment to maintaining his standards. Not just the No swearing (not that I have a problem with swearing). But as well stuff like never caving to the pressure to do a face reveal or anything like that.
@@Birdman3393 and the fact he hasn't changed Jack in so many years. He's still using the same outro and intro
@@Birdman3393 he also obviously said the "F-word" in his 1 million subscriber special. He cut it out but it was very obvious.
8:00 Correction: it is a poppy farm. The iron is merely a byproduct of the poppy production.
@@vissdog4k its sarcasm it provides more poppies than iron
@@strahinja2475 i realised instantly when i pressed reply
Abe ok thanks
RogueBros Soul Knight persist bad
You got it wrong, its the
"lure zombies to this area machine"
Then you can use your sword to farm their rotten flesh.
You've got to respect Etho he just makes his videos with no BS. When Mindcrack started to become about the money and not about games he left.
For my 7 years of Minecraft, how did I not find this guy????
Hahaha
One of the key things about Etho is that for the last two years continuing until he rejoined Hermitcraft recently, his channel was barely growing. He was able to subsist due to his loyal fanbase but as a consequence of not growing his channel was not getting recommended - so a lot of people don’t know about him. He’s great though and I highly recommend him.
lets just say you were late by 3 years
Make that 8
@@Luka-uv6co wait shit your right
Small tid bit of info. On episode 500 there used to be a comment from the Mr Beast thanking Etho for inspiring him to become a youtuber. If you pay attention you may find small references every once in a while from Mr Beast when playing Minecraft.
He has comments on them from 7 years ago before he even had a real channel praising ethos vids
Who is mr beast?
@@henryfleischer404 do u actually not know who he is
@@wokezj1701 I genuinely do not know who he is. I've seen his name mentioned before, but I for some reason thought people were saying mr. beat.
Henry Fleischer search him up, he’s basically some guy that gives out money to people for shits and giggles
Gronkh has 1250 Episodes on Vanilla Minecraft and 600 on Life in the Woods, he also is still streaming minecraft occaionally on twitch. His Lets Play also started months before Ethos did.
i watched the first episodes of ethos letsplay when i was 9 and ive been looking for the old episodes since, while not remembering his channel name. every time is searched "minecraft letsplay 2010" i would find some british youtuber uploading in 2021.didnt know he was still active.
Mojang needs to give Etho some sort of acknowledgement in the game. Maybe something similar to what Philza got (title screen message). “E to the T to your Mom” would be so legendary and perfect.
It’s not much, but there was an April fool’s update where the “Etho Slab” was added, which was a TNT half slab.
Joshua F i remember that lol, was a cool little nod to the goat
or a get your snacks line
There was also someone watching an etho video or something in the background of a mojang update video i think

"The LONGEST Running Minecraft Let's Play..."
Me before watching: This can only be one person
Epic: "Etho"
YAP
Exactly what I thought!
I knew from the skin of etho's arm in the thumbnail...
What about Gronkhs 1000+ episode minecraft let's play?
I saw the title and started thinking about what he meant by longest, like number of episodes or number of years. I thought you know cus like while etho only had 500 or so episodes... oh shit it’s etho
@@thelostcause1562 it's not about the most vids lmao. Its the longest running minecraft let's play. I don't see any vids of him anymore
Gronkhs Lets Play series deserves a honourable mention in this, he made 1278 Minecraft episodes over a time of four years (2010 to 2014) and uploaded a new episode every day, sometimes even two per day. He is a german Lets Player who is very well known in Germany (for a while he was actually the youtuber with the most subscribers in Germany, currently he has almost 5 million subscribers), and his Lets Play series was very influencial for the german Minecraft community, as many people got to know Minecraft through him and he also popularized some trends and concepts in Minecraft.
I think he might be one of the record holders for the highest number of Lets Play episodes of Minecraft, although some might have overtaken him by now. Of course is also depends on how long you make Lets Play episodes (his were 15 to 20 minutes long).
Etho lets play is literally a History of minecraft being unfolded since he really been there from the start, one of the Giants most minecraft player stand on and one of the best communities I ever seen
Etho's finally getting some of the respect he deserves! (it's a shame more people don't know of him)
True
I’ve been watching him since 2014 it’s great that he is getting respect (I totally agree with this!)
All these Zoomers talking about mumbo jumbo
Yes, it would be cool if i knew about him earlier
@@madbov7370 nah, Zedaph my dude
EthosLab: "I'm limited by the technology of my time"
hehe this makes me think of his enderporter
@@archiebrew8184 not marvel?
@@henryvincent5188 yeah, that too but i thought that was kinda obvious since it is a Marvel quote
Etho is the Nikola Tesla of Minecraft
"This is E to the T to your mom".
I loved this so much that i am going to subscribe. LOL
It's crazy how I was 14 when I started to watch Etho. I'm now 24 and still absolutely love him!
So many of ethos viewers have the same experience: we started watching him several years ago and we simply never stopped. We feel genuine love for this creator.
how could anyone stop watching etho... its so much more than minecraft, hes just a beacon of positivity for so many people
@@notquiteright4502 even when ive been on hiatuses from minecraft ive loved his videos hes just special
yes i love this man
Because it's just so nostalgic, except unlike most things that are nostalgic the new content still bring the exact same feeling as the old content, and never feels like he has sold out or changed for the worst.
He just became part of my life I started watching him in 2010 I was 10 years old and he's legit the only TH-camr that I watch consistently he's made a big impact in my life and I wish to grow a community like his not just a fan base that comes and goes but a family that stays
I’m 17. It’s hard to believe I started watching him 10 years ago, when I was 7. Man, time flies
Haha same shit
Yeah, same. Time really does fly.
I literally remember finding him for the first time in middle school and just binge his entire series for the first time
Being only a few years older but not having had internet until I was like 11, this is so fucking strange to me.
Still felt way overwhelmed by the internet as a 12 year old.
Same here
I've watched Etho for years, recently i'm not as hyped for let's plays as i used to be. But there's a special place in my heart for his little base
On a side note. Yes this is still an ongoing series, albeit super slow. There is a TH-cam that had a much longer running series, but sadly he hasn’t played the game in years.
His name is Gronkh, from Germany. He had over a 1000 episodes in his series.
ah yes. the german youtube Papa.
Etho's Minecraft world might the the most revolutionary one. Etho helped invented many redstone and technical contraptions e.g. Etho hopper clock, Etho door, bud switch etc
he wasn't the first to invent the bud switch although he is the one who coined the term and did independently invent his own a little after the first one was invented.
Have a Good Day right i forgot to elaborate
Have you ever heard of Stampys World, its 600+ episodes
Gamer Hady1245 i watched him a little bit back then.
I remember in the 2013 April fools update Mojang even added in a new item called Etho Slab that spawns an falling anvil once placed lol
What I love about Etho is what you hinted at with the "no clickbat", he's just so un-TH-cam. Actively makes a point of not following the way you're "supposed" to be make TH-cam videos and just does his own thing.
I remember when he played uncharted territory and skyfactory with team canada he would refuse to ask for likes and it become a joke in the series. This would not fly in today's yt climate but Etho still manages to pull through.
Exactly. He never asks anyone to subscribe or like his videos, he just makes them. His videos are such a breath of fresh air.
As a further note, this is also why he left Mindcrack (and its dissolution). It was about to be franchised and he didn't want to be part of that business.
You can see that etho hit 1.9 mil subs in 2016, he didn’t pass 2 mil till this year. You can see that his anti clickbait and staying to himself slowed his growth but that makes him so much better imo
@@krawczak9182 Its makes him a more genuine youtubers who is not in it for the money.
Well, in Russia we have two ancestors of all local minecrafters. Eligorko, who made a first guide for Minecraft in 2011, and UsellesMouth who did a long let’s play at the same time.
They are a real legends here, for kids who couldn’t understand a word from Yogscast or Etho’s videos, these two guys brought us here. And watching their first videos I cannot stop crying intensively.
How big was/is Minecraft in Russia?
@@treehousesmotors2562 gigantic, just as all over the world. Nowadays people who were young back in the days started discovering a new "layer" of minecraft, a time mashine in the past. Here is still a lot of other youtubers who are very big, so situation is not so different from other countries.
Wow, etho started his let’s play on the day my brother was born
Your brother played as the minecraft dog
Before I even clicked this I saw the "it begins" and knew immediately it was Etho. The OG of OGs.
no, we have some other OGs still going, farlands or bust and Nerdcubed (though admittedly, not minecrafting)
I look at the thumb, see the big creeper-face on the wall... "oh, it's etho. of course"
Etho whoop whoop
Same here XD
Saw it was 500+ episodes and knew it was etho as he is like the only one to go that high
Etho can only be described with one word - legendary.
Koji is noice
@@fatemeh8787 i really need to change my icon
It’s the real koji
I haven't really watched past the first 100 episodes or so but I really enjoy coming back to Etho's 1st season of his Minecraft let's play after all these years, it's just such a cool time capsule into what early Minecraft was like
0:20 “paulsoaresjr...”
*That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...*
yeah, he remember watching him a lot when I was younger though the minecraft website and the very first tutorial, I remember I caught up on that series around ep 20
I found Etho back in the early days of his channel and still watch him. Seen every episode of his let's play. He convinced me to buy minecraft and learn redstone, and redstone convinced me to study computer engineering in college. So in an indirect way Etho is responsible for my degree path.
Damn
Big virgin
@@Eetu_Veikkola big asshole ;)
@x x his channel is 6 years old tho. Prob just a troll
Considering that Etho got into redstone because he was messing around with coding [from hacking games, but shh], I find this poetic haha
I remember reading Naruto for the first time when I was 13 and getting excited that Etho was in it until I realised he based his skin off the character lmao
p sure he's never even seen naruto, he just thought it was a cool skin lmao (its possible he's decided to watch it now since his skin is based on it I dunno)
he mentioned a long time ago that he watched it when he fell ill as a teenager
Ryan its base on kakashi
@@Ryan-cu5gg he had a sword called chidori lol
Fantastic video! I have been playing Minecraft since the early days and raised my children playing the game together as a family on our LAN and then later online. It’s been a fantastic journey and a great community😄
i think that the thing that makes you special, the thing that seperates you from every minecaft youtube is that you are discussing important people, events , updates and more... every other youtuber is just doing pvp stuff or just making a survival world, but you dont care you upload what u want making sure its interasting and amazing.
i think this is the reason why you are sucsessful in this platform. wish you the best!
I started watching etho’s lets play in elementary school, I’m in university now ._.
Same. I'm just not in uni but working for a few years now
Limbolegs Also same but I’m in trade school rather than collage
Soooooo instead of going broke I’m getting paid to learn!
Can't relate .. I was 16 back when he started xD
That's what I love about hermitcraft ... It's addressed to all ages. For heck watching Minecraft contend with 27 xD
Same, remember forcing my dad to buy minecraft for me after watching Yogscast’s survival series back in 2010.
@@KaneOtonashi i was going to say x to doubt but holy shit you joined 11 years ago Jesus
It’s so rare to see a creator who is so unwilling to compromise his core values and practices. In this way, Etho is not just a great TH-camr, but an even better person.
He got advice from google back then to put outro screens and annotations in his videos, but since his viewers didn't like it he didn't do it.
Sure, but he has a real job ya know
Ethos is still doing a 10 year long running gameplay and Ph1lza has survived hardcore for 5 years. Incredible!
I've been watching Etho since I wanna say 2012 maybe 2013, and while he wasn't the first (I think GingeCast was) he was one of the first couple of Minecrafters I ever watched. Now I don't completely keep up with his lets play anymore (I do occasionally binge like 20 eps at a time every couple of months tho, I think I'm on like 463 or something) I do keep up with any other series he does like Last Life, I find those easier to keep up with bc they generally don't have too many episodes. I've always loved his personality and how kind he has forever been, I believe he deserves a bigger audience and more love shown to his channel so it was very nice to see a video like this showcasing him. You did a wonderful job!
etho's fanbase doesn't grow much, but it doesn't shrink, either. most of us have been here watching him for years and years and years now. mostly because his videos are both new and consistent. the content is new, but it's still the same etho we knew three or four or five or ten years ago. he still doesn't use clickbait, definitely doesn't show his face, and is just overall a nice chill canadian minecrafter. his comment section is nice and chill with zero hate (his videos have the most wholesome comment sections on youtube). he's like the youtuber version of a security blanket. 10/10.
I think it will definitely grow more due to Hermitcraft
Huge respect to him, just a humble man who doesn’t care about money and simply plays Minecraft for fun and hasn’t tried to hop on any trend cause he could care less about viewers.
Unless thats the image he wants to give you which nets him more views thus more money.
Joshua don’t think that’s the case
Besides being humble, he is not fake, nor childish, yet funny and positive. An example to follow!
I think he mentioned that he does it on purpose before, but he also stated that he feels uncomfortable doing clickbait stuff anyway.
Meaning he does it on purpose but it suits his nature.
Joshua nah, if he cared about money he would’ve changed his style when he stopped growing
I'm so happy you did this, I haven't ever heard of you, but you made me happy today, I watched Etho from the beginning and his series is amazing and I just watched episode 559
I watched Etho when he was first starting. To me, I always knew him as the redstone guy, alongside Sethbling. I never paid much attention to his content however, which is a shame seeing that he still stayed true to his nature and decided to focus more on fun rather than money. That I can get behind! With so many youtubers at the time, it was hard paying attention to one series, but since you brought it to light and seeing that Etho is still the same after all this years, it's like a breath of -fresh air- nostalgia and I wanna take a looksies now.
Etho and SethBling was literally the only two popular “redstone guy” back then
This guy is a living legend. In france, a youtuber called "aypierre" was heavily inspired by etho and did a lets play beginning in 2012~. He's now a OG of the minecraft french community and i believe that, if etho didnt exist, aypierre and so many french minecraft youtuber wouldnt be here.
even a6d :o
@@marcellonicodemus who is this guy
Marcello Nicodemus A6D isn’t really that popular compared to AyPierre
Frère de l'omelette du fromage, ne te perds pas chez l'ennemi anglophone. :u
True that. It's him who introduced me to Etho, but I did stop watch aypierre at some point, while I never did with Etho.
It just hit me that I’ve been watching Etho for 8 years.
time really does fly.... like ive spent a majority of my life with this creator
bro yea same.
I believe etho said in a video that a lot of his views on his videos are subs that been watching more 5+ years, I started watching him on LP 60 something
Ah....uh.Ah..
I have watched Etho since his first videos, I remember building cool stuff along side his videos and even when he asked if he should start a new world since Minecraft was updating and added so many new things. He really deserves the love he gets. There's only 2 minecrafters I cant help but go back and watch and that's Etho'sLab and Direwolf20, they some real ogs
Etho is a Minecraft legend and it's mostly due to the fact that he is genuine and he hasn't changed due to popularity. I remember him talking about leaving Mindcrack in his LP series and he sounded so heartbroken about it. His Nexus is by far one of the most complicated, advanced and best redstone builds I've ever seen.
Get your Snacks!
And this is to the people who don't understand the point of this video and are mentioning Gronkh and others with Higher episode count than Etho, This video is about the concurrent longest lets play series that is still going on in the present and still will continue and not about the Highscore of episode count but the start from time till the present.
Yes but I kinda dislike that he changed the world. I always loved that the world of gronkh began in alpha and was there until Release version 1.7
@@rainbowflash5937 The only reason he changed the world is because his save file got corrupted when hunger was added causing chunk borders, he couldn't play on the old one because he had no back up saves so yeah thats why we have the second world, I think if it didn't happen it more likely he would have used the old world (mid-edit:since in his second world is always updated and also has the amplified terrain and a Guardian farm in the middle of the plains with no Ocean) but Imo there is no better build than his Mancave and we wouldn't or couldn't see his building skills and creativity the mancave gave him.
the first world was the trial the second world was the expansion and comtinuation of ideas.
@@MachStarry okay if that's the reason, then I'm okay with it
"Etho disliked [Mindcrack becoming more money orientated], as he, quote, 'plays Minecraft for fun'."
Background: *Etho floating hundreds of blocks to the ground in a boat*
Mindcrack, yeah amazing game
What thats fun
Your use of brackets is very wrong lol
Me before watching the video: I bet it's Etho, his let's play started in the alpha.
Me after watching the video: NAILED IT
I grew up watching a modded Minecraft series from a TH-camr called Poet Plays. It started from the very beginning of Fossils And Archeology and still goes on today, passing the 800 mark. Sure, since it’s a mod from early Aether times it’s not as old as the series talked about in the video, but it still holds a special place to me and it’s very very long
You didn't even mention his *golden* sense of humor!
To anyone reading, I recommend watching etho's Shade-E business xd
lmao hes absolutely hilarious
ah man i still remember so many of his old jokes, like roflcopter, taxes (has it really been so long since then?) all those your mom jokes that he ACTUALLY PULLED OFF, etc, etc. i would say i miss the old etho, but the old etho's still there.
@@shadowfire04 Hopp Hopper Dropper Dropper Hopper Hopper
ROFLCOPTER
Episode 404 was a masterpiece :D
E to the T to your mom
It puts a smile on my face to not only know he's still going, but that he's getting recognition for it. I used to watch his videos religiously, before life started getting busy and I went off to college, and I'd watch him again if I had the time.
My first exposure to Minecraft was the Ars Technica article about that guy that recreated the Enterprise-D skeleton at a 1:1 scale. From there, I got into Seananners, X, Coestar, and the man of the hour, Etho.
You are so right, I also started mincraft by looking at X's Adventures and after that following ETHO's series. Al those memories.
Rendog would've came close if he continued his original minecraft lets play
When did he stop?
@@TheMisterEpic the original one stopped 3 years ago, he then started a new one but that one didn't even last a year. The originaln one would've been 8 years old if he continued to this day
Ray yep grew up with rendog and mann that world meant so much to me
i know 2 maybe more TH-camrs that have 8 years survival series (still going) tho I won't tell the name cause I don't want people to go ruin their channel or dislike bot ppl r crazy these days
@@soupboy-yn8oz ???? doubt. but k. if you actually watch the comments of this vid, you prolly had liked the vid a little, so you might even like others with similar content.
Ive watched Etho on and off and always keep coming back to him, he is the Bob Ross of Minecraft and his yo momma jokes never get old. All I wish is that eventually, when he gets tired and moves on after who knows how many years, he gets the send off he deserves. What a legend
He will retire when minecraft retires
All good things must end. But now is not the time :)
Bro, I forgot about PaulSoarsJr. I haven't watched him since like, 2016. I went back and had this severe sense of nostalgia. I had this like slow chill run down my back. Not even a chill. Like this cold wave that pulsated from my neck, all the way through my body. Thanks for a reminder of my childhood. Thanks for the nostalgia. Thanks for the warm feeling you have given me through these hard times.
"em busca da casa automática"
330 episodes and 8+ years with farms that you can't even count, truly dedicated man
I'm almost 21 and have been watching Etho since his early episodes, I usually binge his let's play a couple times a year to catch up even though I haven't been into playing the game myself for years. It's also crazy how I've never seen his face yet I don't feel a need to see his face and actually enjoy him being anonymous and pretty laid back
yes me too! (except im 23 lol) I recently started watching his lets play from ep 450 again. Hes done soooo much. hes amazing
The thing that sets Etho apart from everybody else is not his gameplay, it's his personality and character traits that has remained largely unchanged since the start.
Sure, his calm, almost drugged-up demeanor has changed over the years, but he still stands true to his values.
He doesn't accept donations, he makes no partnership deals, he doesn't clickbait or ask for any favours, and the fact that we have not seen his appearence makes him seem more mystical. He can be whatever we want him to be.
Etho has played his cards very well, and for that, I regard him as one of the true G.O.A.Ts, not only of the gaming scene, but the internet in general.
He has taken donations tho
Kinda want to watch him now. Lol.

How I got into minecraft is I found one of those how to minecraft books at the library (you know witch ones) and in the book it mentioned paulsoarsjr so my young self, not knowing much about TH-cam, looked him up and started watching his how to survive and thrive series, me and my sister eventually bought minecraft for the Wii u out of our allowance. The best 30 dollars I have spent in my life. Now everyone in my family plays minecraft together on java. Thanks to Paul I was a pro at minecraft before I even started playing. He is the most wholesome youtuber I have ever seen, never change paul.
I've never watched Etho. I missed the bus on him. But I can respect someone who can keep a minecraft world interesting for 10+ years.
The bus is still driving, hop on man.
you can always hop on, especially now
I haven't played Minecraft in over 5 years and I haven't watched Minecraft let's plays or videos in general since that same time, but I still watch almost every video Etho puts up. I may go a few months without watching, but then I'll start where I left off and catch up. Hands down the best Minecraft TH-camr. I will continue watching until he quits uploading. And you should check out a couple videos just to see what he's about. I know there are a lot of us who really don't care about Minecraft anymore, but continue to watch Etho.
Now is a fantastic time to start watching. He's been uploading more consistently, and is starting to work towards bigger projects with more passion. A world tour is also coming up, which is great to really get a feel for the world, its rich history, and all the crazy projects.
Hop in we won't eat you
If anyone is interested in downloading his world, I'd recommend waiting until his 550th episode because he's currently actively updating his builds so that everything is ready for download :D
im super excited for that ^^
The Clay reminds me of one of our most extensive Lets plays of Minecraft here in Germany. Gronkh`s Lets play Minecraft wich only ran for 3 years but was 1200 episodes long. He always had this one block of iron ore he would continuously overlook, later by choice to annoy the viewers.
Thank you for finally telling me about the dwarves vs zombies game mode because I remembered watching it a long time ago but could never find it
i’ve known of Ethos from Hermitcraft, but never truly realized how important he was the beginning of minecraft youtube
He was also a pioneer for redstone; he made the first reliable clock/timer. He also made one of the fastest and most efficient bamboo farms.
Etho’s redstone engineering skills are top notch. He was the first to discover block update detection, which he called a BUD switch. This was featured in his pop up sheep farm. He also invented early clocks and the hopper clock which is a total cornerstone of any advanced redstone device. He also discovered in his BUD switch invention day/night detectors which he used to play a song for morning and night. He’s designed numerous hostile mob farms over the years which were each on the cutting edge at the time. He was also one of the first people to fully automate potion brewing. If you watch just a couple of his episodes, you quickly realize how inventive he is. If his life would’ve started differently, he without a doubt could’ve become an engineer. He solves problems and polishes designs to solve those problems before anyone else even realizes there’s a problem to be solved.
I’ve been watching Etho since 2011 and his ethics are really really pure. He’s a great person. I recall at one point around 2012 he talked about how someone from TH-cam actually called him on the phone and told him a variety of ways he could grow his channel and attract new viewers, but his style hasn’t changed one bit, so presumably he didn’t listen to them.
His nature style of building is likely inspired by his experience as a gardener. During his early years of the LP, Etho worked in a greenhouse and TH-cam was just a hobby. I’m sure he’s making decent money now, but not as much as he would if he were a clickbait sellout. But he’s not. And we all love him for it.
Etho is so pure, It's always relaxing to watch his let's play. The nicest comment section on TH-cam as well
the community is just so pure tbh, great people all around
just wait till he gets more exposure from other channels, the toxic reddit kids will arrive there also
@@ghjklkop7868 maybe his style is not very attractive to reddit kids, since his videos are usually quite long and slow paced, and without the "WHATS UP GUYS" type of TH-cam personality they are used to
@@SantiagoRodriguez-zi3gv somehow wierdly Vsauce's new videos have a different comment section than before, Idk TH-cam comment section about commenting about the video or giving constructive criticism but likes just make seem popularity contest of obnoxoousness.
If only there was an actual rating system... oh wait remember 5 stars on youtube
Minecraft let's plays will always be so amazing and cool video man :]
But how does he get the llamas to walk around Sandy City?
The world may never know
@@EliteEpicGamerz 'tis a mystery
ahhh.. the algorithm bringing us all together once again
😁
@@TheMisterEpic Indeed it does, good video though! Props to you
I never stopped watching Etho even when I wasn't playing MC much anymore.
He's one of the most kind-hearted people I "know" and I don't think his personna is fake whatsoever.
I believe he is genuinely a very good person.
I don't have any clue what the fuck he is doing half of the time with redstone since I never put the time to learn it myself but it doesn't matter.
His builds, ideas, his wit, explainations and adventures are what makes him such a great TH-camr and he deserves all the recognition he can get.
It's one of the few people I can only hope for good things to happen to them all the time.
Bizarrely enough, I thought YESTERDAY that a video like this about him should be made and here we are.
Well done Sir.
ive never really learned redstone either XD but for some reason that doesnt matter, i could listen to him talk about hopper clocks and redstone lines alllll day even if it flies right over my dumdum head
Sky does Minecraft got me into Minecraft. I watched his cops and robbers series, and fell in love after that.
Dwarves Vs Zombies was one of my favorite minigames in minecraft for so many years and is the reason I met the friends I have now
I clicked on this video thinking "hmm I wonder who could have a longer let's play than Etho, and as expected, NO ONE. Etho is the one TH-camr I've been watching continuously for years out of my subscription, even if I don't play Minecraft and is completely non existent in my life I still always watched Etho play . I remember all of his series as if they were yesterday and then when I go to check when the series came out it was apparently 7 years ago!? I'm always so shocked when this would happen. Etho is the best and I hope you can find some comfort in his videos too.
i had the same reaction clicking on the video lmao
Ever heard of the letsplayer gronkh (probably not because he is german) but his let's play is actually longer
@@flygor6792 I actually learned about him in this comment section and that amazing. Sad to hear etho isn't number one but still they are both amazing people
*Stampylonghead would like to know your location*
Ok for real now, his series "Stampy's Lovely World", is on episode 658, and while the latest episode was 9 months ago, he is planning on bringing it back within the next month or two, or maybe within weeks, and I would like to note that new episodes were coming out once or twice a week until Halloween of 2018, starting back basically when the original Xbox 360 edition came out.
Stamsite has a lounger one bit he is swedish
I’ve been watching Etho since I was in 7th or 8th grade.. and next spring I will be graduating college. Without Etho, I don’t know that I would have ever became interested in being a TH-camr even though what I’m doing is entirely different. I can’t believe I’ve been watching him for 9-10 years. It’s truly incredible that he still makes videos to this day and that he really hasn’t changed all that much.
Coop
Same, but I was much younger I grew up on him for about 8 to 9 years.
hey congrats on graduating from college my guy
There is a swedish SMP called 90gq that started in October of 2010 that is running on the same map til this day. The owner of the server is a swedish youtuber called STAMSITE. He has a let's play series centered around the 90gq server that has been going on since the start of the server itself.
STAMSITE's let's play series is split up in a number of seasons, the first one being called "Let's play Minecraft online (Svenska)". I don't know the exact number of total episodes but I'm pretty sure it's more than Etho's total number of episodes!
STAMSITE and other players are still very active on 90gq and nowadays the server is quite focused on roleplaying. For example players are creating companies and engaging in trade with fictional contracts for different things. I think I heard somewhere that 90gq is the oldest Vanilla Minecraft server that hasn't changed its map at some point!
Edit: I checked the total number of 90gq episodes on STAMSITE's channel and it's well over 600 episodes! :D
But it is a server etho is a singleplayer
Love ur videos bro I hope for u to get to 1 million
The important thing many are forgetting in the comments is that Etho is still consistently posting Minecraft videos, whereas a lot of others have stopped posting videos, which might not make it the highest numbered series but it still counts as the longest in time from beginning to end (and it doesn't seem to be ending any time soon)
Y'all remember that episode where etho burnt down his entire base as a joke over getting blue fire with diamonds? I was heartbroken because I thought it was serious lmao
Edit: also that one time where etho built a mob sorter and in the background there was an audio clip of someone telling etho that it was impossible to make a mob sorter
He got he’s blue fire now
Sven Gonsalves lol i saw it hes
even his humor then was timeless
Under a minute and you give the name. Gotta love it when a video looks like clickbait but genuinely follows through
Ethos is one off the people that linda have a small fanbase but pretty dedicated
Title: The longest running Minecraft lets play
Video: *Etho honorary shrine*
"I ain't complaining"
Can’t believe you didn’t mention battlebane!
Gotta be one of Etho’s most iconic series
#FinishBattlebane
ah yes, the map we all love
秦Nate IF ONLY WE GOT AN EPISODE MORE OFTEN THAN ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS SMH
ElRichMC survival series has been up for 11 years as of 2023, and while it has only 171 episodes (for now) there are videos that take hundreds if not thousands of hours to complete.
Maybe you could make a video about/with him iff you want to.
Everybody forgets about my boy ethoslab. Glad someone still remembers :)
Are we just going to brush over the fact that without etho some, technical aspects wouldnt be possible without his discoveries?
I’m sure people have discovered those aspects on their own, Etho was just the first to showcase them.
@@yousawnothin bruh that a lot like saying "I'm sure others discovered it on their own, but Tesla just was the first to showcase alternating current." (Not the same in importance obviously lol) and the clock straight up was his invention. He may not have invented the BUD switch but he perfected and popularized its use. Not to mention Wilson.
@@thebread9874 That’s not what I meant. The person above is saying, “without Etho, we wouldn’t have ___” which isn’t true. Eventually someone would have stumbled upon those game mechanics. The analogy with Tesla is a bit exaggerated as well. Back then there were few game mechanics to mess with in Alpha minecraft lol. Whatever Tesla did is overly complicated and takes experts to figure out.
@@yousawnothin I acknowledged it was exaggerated so no arguments there. Etho continues to innovate Redstone today even as it gets more complex. Yeah people would have eventually figured out the hopper clock, but he actually did it within days of the update and shared that knowledge with everyone immediately. Without that little invention most complex things we build would be impossible. All I'm saying is give the inventor his due.
Also no one was working on the enderpearl stasis chamber when he invented that and that inspired an amazing server to build something incredible out of it.
@@thebread9874 like docm said etho is 1 of just a few who with out looking at code can truly invent
“E to the T to ur mum” is so petty yet so funny. My sense of humor is wack
Your not alone
I actually discovered Etho from this very video, during the beginning of the quarantine. Now, after watching so much of his content, he is my favored youtuber. So, thank you very much!
My first contact with Minecraft was with the Yogscast SMP series back from 2010, but Etho is by far my favorite. I don't really play MC anymore, but I still watch some of his videos, specially his modded series. I've watched many LPers over the years, but none of them grabed me in the same way Etho did.
