EthosLab

"Go get your snacks!"

Etho (born August 20, 1986 (1986-08-20) [age 37]) known by his YouTube name EthosLab, is a Canadian Let's Play commentator with his main focus on Minecraft.

Minecraft

Etho's first video was posted on November 12, 2010 [1] and was about his idea for a boat dipesnser. This was the first showcase of his redstone abilities within the game.

Singleplayer

Vanilla

One of Etho's most popular series is his Minecraft survival single-player series titled "Etho Plays Minecraft." [2] It is still ongoing in a second world that he moved to after the 1.8 Beta update. He changed due to the Adventure Update which introduced several new biomes to the game and wished to experience them without having to travel thousands of blocks.

In the second season, he had built his base underground called the Mancave. It holds many features such as a UFO above the cow farm where cows can be fished into, a slime farm with the option to move the donor tree farm, a Tamagotchi like creation named Wilson, a large automatic brewing lab, an underground village, and several more. More recently, he has begun to "enhance" the above ground portion of his world.

Crash Landing

Etho started his Crash Landing series on the 5th September, 2014. 30 episodes later he ended the series, deciding it would be more fun to play on the modded world.

Modded Minecraft

Some time ago, Etho compiled a selection of his favorite mods and put them together to start a new, modded, series. Although it occasionally crashes, Etho has enjoyed playing this pack, along with the enjoyment of his viewers. If you wish to download this pack that Etho made himself, simply go to one of his modded videos, look in the description, and you will find instructions on how to do it. The series ended on the 5th of December 2016, on Episode 77.

TerraFirmaCraft

Etho has two seasons of TerraFirmaCraft on his channel, the first one being very successful on his channel and showing the mod's tech tree as he discovered it. The reason why it ended is unclear (Edit: Etho announced the reason for ending the series in one of his 'Etho Plays Minecraft' Episodes). Season 2 of TerraFirmaCraft began on 17th October, 2015, with a better understanding of the mod. Etho rapidly progressed through it. He was hoping to reach the end of the tech tree again after several updates and changes to TerraFirmaCraft by the mod's developers. The series ended on the 5th of Febuary 2016 on Ep 18.

Etho plays the pack in Kappa mode in a Skyblock style map. Kappa mode changes the recipes and game to be much more difficult to challenge seasoned mod pack players.

Battle Bane

Battle Bane is a PvP game designed and created by Etho. He started this series so that he could have fun with command blocks and creative mode redstone. It is currently one of his longest and most inconsistent series. He posts an episode about once a year, though sometimes longer, and others shorter. Often times, Etho forgets to make an episode and has to be reminded by his comment section. There are no plans to finish the game, and no timelines on when a playable version will be available. Most of his recent videos have been updating videos where he has to go and rework something because a command got changed in an update or something like that. He has plans to make it possible to play this with any world that you choose.

MindCrack

MindCrack: Vanilla

Etho joined Mindcrack in 2011 and left in early 2015. He left because he didn't want to be part of the Minecrack Brand, which was becoming more money orientated - Etho mentioned in a video that he prefers doing minecraft for the fun. He was apart of MindCrack seasons 3&4. One of his most popular projects from MindCrack was the death games, starting in season 3 as a retaliation prank, then got brought back in season 4 as a full game.

UHC

Etho participated in Mindcrack UHC since Season 3, except Seasons 7, 12, 14 through 20, and 21. Etho was the winner of Season 8, having killed six other players. He stopped participating in UHC's just before he left MindCrack.

MindCrack FTB

Etho's MindCrack FTB videos are some of the earliest modded videos that he released. There are 2 seasons of MindCrack FTB. Season 1 ran from late 2012 to late 2013 totaling in 59 videos. Season 2 ran from Feb. 2014 to May 2014 totaling in 28 episodes. This series is one of the few that feature a different intro.

CrackPack

Near the end of his MindCrack days, they started a series with a custom modpack. This series started soon after season 2 of MindCrack FTB ended with only a couple weeks in between. The series started in May 2014 and ran through Aug. 2014 with a total of 22 episodes. The series consisted of 2 sides that had several PvP battles and base invading. The series ended due to technical issues explained in Etho's last video. This series features the same intro as his MindCrack FTB videos.

HermitCraft

Hermitcraft: Vanilla

Etho joined the HermitCraft Server at some point during the beginning of 2015, with his first official HC Video being released on the 3rd March 2015. He was fairly inactive until the 2016 re-launch of the server when he started playing regularly again. He is always seen in episodes with Docm77, a fellow Minecraft YouTuber. In the most recent re-launch of the server Etho was active once again, but only up to episode 11. It looks like there is a pattern with him making a dozen episodes or so, then going inactive.

The Midnight Society

In late 2012 to early 2013, Etho released several videos of him playing Minecraft PvP maps with several people known as The Midnight Society.

However, the most common appearances are from three_two, last_username, Unhost, MEOLA, Rixiot, TiggyLi, and Raid3r just to name a few. The maps that Etho posted videos of are Nail, Cluster Chunk, Revolution, and Hoodoo. Research leads to believe that there are other games and maps that Etho participated in, but did not upload videos of.

Team Canada

Team Canada (Etho, VintageBeef, and PauseUnpause) was formed durring season 3 of the MindCrack vanilla server.

Etho's Minecraft skin is based on the character Kakashi Hatake from the Japanese manga and anime franchise Naruto.
