Minecraft - Tutorial: Player Sensor

[rabjam100]

@1RadicalOne You can light up all the blocks 5x5x5 around the spawner with a two block high air space or put half slab because mobs can't spawn on them. Iearned this by watch all of Etho's videos. Ha thx Etho

[HellCrafting]

Etho, I'm getting scared.

In Vechz' Spellbound Caves Map (Ik you're doing it with OOG, so this ISN'T a spoiler, I promise!) Vechz was asked about a really weird trap that the one who was interviewing him couldn't figure out how he did it, and Vechz wouldn't answer. So the interviewer went in MCEdit and looked at it and apparently, a Creeper spawned on a pressure plate when the player was near the spawner and would detonate.

A map with a mixture of Etho + Vechz traps? FRIGGIN MADDNESS. :c

[sixonesixfiv]

this vidoe is one minecraft wiki: tutorials/traps

[1RadicalOne]

One problem: That spawner will spawn mobs all over the place - often missing the plate - as soon as night falls, or if the trap is near a cave.

[Bigrich6688]

I think Vechs used this in SH 10 Spellbound caves in the rumbling caves section. I'm not 100% sure though

[TehFlyingJam]

@Bigrich6688 Nope, he used a Vech's player sensor. Etho's is unstable after long periods of time, while Vech's is perfectly stable all the time.

[smolians16]

I thought the only way for getting a "creeper" spawner is with mods. You said you don't use them.

[kulkid07]

@smolians16 Or MCedit, technically not a mod, its a separate program.. A 'tool'

[kelvin3711]

he use mcedit, he is not playing his lp so not count XD

[BobDawg173]

I thought you didn't use mods. You pushed a redstone ore up to the surface once with pistons lol.Not that I care

[mrredstonemaster]

I have the hardest time finding out... How do you get a zombi spawner?

[anistuffs]

Wait, so let me get this straight.

A redstone noob like me discovered this BEFORE the genius Etho & made a video on this 2 whole months ago ....

....

WHAT 8O

...

[Pat myself on the back & say: That'll do Ani, that'll do]

[megamaxmax4]

@anistuffs Right, not seeing that video at all

[TheAmyjblue]

another weapon in vech's arsenal...

[schleiereule]

That's a neat idea.

[acharliebrownlife]

You are a wizard. That is all.

[QauronExoForce]

This is the last straw....

I don't think i'm bothering with your survival map.

[TinnedWaffles]

Ingenius. I just pray Vechs doesn't watch your vids.....

[planetfall666]

Anistuffs invented this first! You HORRIBLE PERSON!

[zeletavska]

at 3:12 whats that on the left

[lightbulbpenguin]

Im making a peaceful adventure map and in order to pass at one point they have to switch to normal, and this can test that. Thnx for the tutorial

[blackopsminecraftftw]

You can spawn trap someone at their spawn! :)

[gudenaurock]

Power the wall with a repeater, to power it with no gain.

These videos will make my map mean.

[EleettsProject]

Hey everyone 1.0.0 just got released, and i found a really FAST piston clock, that dont burn out, check out my channel for tutorial!

[Sancarn]

unfortunately I don't think this will work in 1.0 However with minor adjustment it will =D

[BestNoobification]

Here's the trap I made with this:

/watch?v=jwM6em9kpGk

[sartaros]

i can make one of these with 4 Redstone torches 5 stone and 5 redstone

[winter15503]

You are scaring me even more than vech :O

[v000000000000v]

Arrow on pressure plate detector would be better?

[defianceunstable]

this can be used to automatically open your front door for your house

[Canad1anB4con]

How did you get the mob spawner in?

[pvmyummy5]

@Canad1anB4con he said it in the vid

[ploppHD]

The dislike bar is like a ninja, we can't see it but we know it's there.

[YourComputerExpert]

It's smart, but I think the proximity detector is better in my opinion because you can build it where ever you want and now you just have to be lucky the spawner is in the place you want or you have to cheat to get it where you want it. And you can build the proximity detector anywhere you want and it works just as well as your player detector.

[Omni956]

@YourComputerExpert This is for map makers mostly.

[SirWaffels]

Hello everyone!

OMG ETHO I LOVE YOU <33

[Wave0nWave]

Can u use a BUD switch to detect if players come in range of a monster spawner?

[shadex582]

... k so if I'm on etho's map and I hear a monster suffocating... RUN!!!

Gees now I gotta look out for bud switches... exploding trees... and shooting arrows at switches... now this!

Ah well if you need beta testers let me know :p

[nubeees]

sethbling also made something like this, but his involved arrows and fire

[siskow98]

I am not receiving emails from the subscription :(

It only happens on your channel D:

[Jokie155]

Oh man... a trap that works even in Peaceful mode...

I think I'll stay on Hard anyway...

[DRChAyNe]

Hey Etho, you going to MineCon?

[MrNdog1000]

Cool. You also hook it up to an iron door, make repeaters make it longer than 1 sec to open it, then hook THAT up to a note block sequence.

[TheRex042]

Why not push the mobs in a pit so the player doesn't hear their suffocation.

[UniversumExNihilo]

@TheRex042

The trap would just never go off, with the current design, since the piston would push the mob immediately. Assuming you're not worried about size, the pushing piston would have to be on a delay. Additionally, there's room for the mob to fall before the peaceful sensor can be bypassed. There would also be more room for the mob to spawn, making every other mob not hit the button at all.

Hypothetically, you could use a pit, but a handful of issues would need to be fixed.

[LoganHolloway]

@UniversumExNihilo didi you even watch the entire video?

[weafnoob]

@LoganHolloway read TheRex042's comment o-o

[0r1g4m1]

My reaction is fear. Pure, undiluted fear.

[minecraftermad]

or PRESSURE PLATE!!

[NinjaInazuma]

@minecraftermad It's easy to prepare for impact if you can see the plate :\

[amgonakilyou]

wat about the drops?

[xDoMiiNaToRv]

Etho did you know minecraft boosters are back?

[biesotter]

there is a way better way to do this, its a smoke detector (you only see it when also about 16 blocks away, infront of the smoke you put a PP with a arrow on it, when you come close the PP turns on

[goodwill295]

@biesotter That will always go off then, regardless of what difficulty you're on. The point of Ethos' sensor is to distinguish between peaceful and other modes. So, it only works when hostile mobs are enabled :)

[JayTie1]

@biesotter but an arrow despawns after 5 mins, and it doesnt reset itself, so ethos design is better than sethblings.

[xDoMiiNaToRv]

@JayTie1 no sethblings wont reset as the arrow is moving up and down

[JayTie1]

@xDoMiiNaToRv if you read my comment, you would find out that I wrote that sethblings "does not" reset itself.

[Albinac28011976]

That peaceful detector is absolute genius idea,extremely well thought out.nice one again etho.

[Jellyinatardis]

That's the best undetectable trap I've ever seen! Great work!

[AlphaOpsGaming]

hholy shit youtube is completly different

[ZombieKilla96]

@AlphaOpsGaming No shit

[MikeTehV]

@AlphaOpsGaming yeah man... but mine changed back!

[777static777]

As always mate, absolutely genius! Love it!

[skymine11]

dont give vechs ideas

[cmchris888]

very creative

[computerchan]

@ethoslab your upload rate seems to be slowing we are lucky if we get half an hour a day. i know some youtubers that upload 2-3 lets play episodes a day. please step it up etho.

[EotPOverlord]

@EthosLab I have to say i am very scared to play your adventure map...... ;__; save me

[yayimahuman]

Let's have tutorial Tuesdays!

[AvatarJizz]

NEW EPISODE ETHO!!!!!!  pweez

[tycrazyguy]

Etho i dont play custom maps but i will play yours :)

[StoneRR31]

Hey Etho!

Nice work with this player sensor, I was just going to say you can make them legit! Check out my "StoneR's Arrow Detection Idea's" vid I did a few months back. You can achieve the same radius effect and my one can also detect if you leave the area and deactivate, only issue is that the "detection system" has to be activated with an arrow (from where the player can't here it being fired) and then will only remain active as long as the arrow is alive (1min) but that can be used too..

[StoneRR31]

@StoneRR31 Alright well maybe I should have read the comment's first.. DAMN YOU SETHBLING! No.. Well thats cool as I had the idea myself and my video was made a while ago but damn he so good.. =)

[xXRevenantBlackXx]

Etho forgive me if I come off rude, but your voice puts me to sleep. I do NOT mean that in a negative manner. I mean you have the voice of like. . .Morgan Freeman. It's just one more reason I enjoy all of your videos. Good work man.

[iknowmyus3rnamesucks]

@xXRevenantBlackXx Haha my favorite commentators are ones with monotonous voices

[hudacheck]

Player detector: 1. Place a block, put a redstone torch on this. 2. Place a redstone repeater going into the block, and make an inverter go into the torch. The torch should now be off. 3. Place a pressure plate. 4. Wire up redstone from the pressure plate to the inverter.

Now whenever a player steps on the pressure plate the redstone torch goes on... Yay... Now to watch the ACTUAL player detector...

[Firstonetocomment]

Pllleeeeeeaaaase upload something we love you...

[SirChipperton]

Awww dang it. For once, my excitement for an Etho video was spoiled. I thought of this ages ago, so I don't get anything out of this. Oh well...back to waiting for the next LP video :D

[avidcubist]

Etho........please use the little blocks mod. Look it up. You can make the best micro circuitry with it

[WatchMehGame]

Any idea when it'll be done? Or is it done when it's done? :D

[OMGItsJousis]

Vechs and Etho should make a map together.

[weafnoob]

@OMGItsJousis omg that will be bad.. really bad.. 

[Cyperior]

I expect much deaths in your map..

[jonas6584]

imagine vechs and etho together :D

[NHJproductions]

wow this is clever, nice idea!

[espedio]

I am going to be soooo scared when playing your map

[Stozax]

Hey Etho what do you use to make your intro?

Or how do you animate text into minecraft clips.

[jangxx]

@Stozax I'd guess AfterEffects...

[xMcKAYz]

@Stozax Etho didn't make his intro, it says on his Channel who did, so if anyone, ask them ;)

[thesadoptimist]

you should have made a bud switch next to the spawner, so that when it lights up it activates the bud switch. or does that not work because the spawner is only a particle effect and not an actual block update?

[ixraider]

Etho, you're a genius.

[HVfreak]

I hope Vechs is not watching this >.<

[perlpower]

Can you think of a way to make a sensor to detect how many players are in one area, I don't think it would be easily possible, but maybe you have an idea?

[hotsauseproductions]

@sleeptofu sethbling made a video of that here's the link : watch?v=pHvWGTJ1Hsc&feature=ch­annel_video_title

[TisseTuss]

Whats an CTM map? ;P

[llamasorus]

That's nice Etho, but what would stop me from simply going above this?

[minecabbage]

@llamasorus The monster would still spawn...

[lookasneetch]

@llamasorus What do you mean? All this does is determine if a player is in the vicinity and then sends a redstone signal. it would set up an exterior trap or function.

[TheLeopard0]

lol-watch a time at the tags!

[TheNL1980]

This is sooo Evil! Just like Etho, right!

[cuddlechaos]

Brilliant once again Etho!

[jyrbian]

Does the trap get an update when the player is near enough so that it can be used as a bud switch?



[TheFrazzle2468]

Is it just me or when you search EthosLab none of his vids appear???

[Justincrediblebrah]

can not wait to see your map!

[jkmicha]

How the hell do you get your ideas???

[iLikeAxe]

MINDCRACK VIDEOS, NOW! :)

[TheExecel]

Does Monetizing Thing make you money? I've got an email from youtube and i'm wondering if it's worth it since my chanels crap (x

[IIOGCII]

Ethos survival/custom map is going to be so evil.

[sleeptofu]

Now u can make a huge creeper that explode when ur next it ! :D

[ppshownage]

@sleeptofu sethbling already did that

[SlyTheSquirrel]

@sleeptofu well actually /watch?v=pHvWGTJ1Hsc

I just wonder what's more accurate

[DerekGartee]

@sleeptofu check sethbling's video on that exact thing.

[depcking2]

@sleeptofu by copying sethbling

[coolwhiprofl]

@sleeptofu Sethbling has already done that...

[georgeyporgeyxd]

@sleeptofu I take it you havn't seen sethbling's video...

[Gibzist]

@sleeptofu Sethbling ?

[selulancie]

@sleeptofu Just like Sethbling did. :D Except his version is a bit more complex

[JayTie1]

@selulancie but ethos version is better. because his one resets itself

[xDoMiiNaToRv]

@sleeptofu sethbling made one.

[JayTie1]

@xDoMiiNaToRv that is why he made that comment.

[heiko207]

Challenge for you Etho: Combine this with an explosive tree :D

[MrDoItMyWay]

CTM?

[SimplyGebus]

Hey Etho - Cool design! I was wondering if instead of a pressure plate you hooked the monster spawned up to a BUD switch. Then whenever the spawner activates the switch will go on, and if/when the player leaves the area it will go off. I'm not sure if this works (haven't tested it) but if it does I reckon it'd be pretty useful! Anyway thanks for the awesome content!

[martinstumpf]

@EthosLab

is it possible that a mob spawns naturally if you arent next to the trap? i mean ... can a mob spawn on a preasure plate naturally?

if it can, this trap combined with a bunch of explosives would be kinda pointless...

still ... awesome idea. i like your creativity combined with technical skill very much.

[warhammer40kiss]

@martinstumpf Mobs can spawn on pressure plates :D

[EthosLab]

@martinstumpf It is possible, although very unlikely unless most of your map is lit up in the area. You wouldn't have any problems if you used a cave spider spawner instead with only a 1x1x1 space for it to spawn, although you wouldn't be able to use a crusher on it.

[SrElectric101]

@martinstumpf to fix that, use a blaze spawner, it stops spawning only from 14, so you could have light level 9 in your spawner and it would still spawn :D

[TerrinixNyphona]

@SrElectric101 Haha, I was going through the comments to see if anyone else came up with that before I posted the same suggestion. Glad I did.

[hotsauseproductions]

@EthosLab so is it easier sethblings idea?

[ArtKosarev]

did anyone hear about this pressure plate - arrow thing detector? well Etho's much better :)

[ehtuanK]

@ArtKosarev Yeah, sethbling made one, but his version can be built in legit gameplay, too. Etho's one only where a spawner already is.

[PieCrane]

720p!!!!!!

[EikGog]

This can be used to turn on lights when you walk into a room!

[springmeer]

Nanana already got that idea earlier and made a video about it :P

Only not resettable and less advanced ("dungeon powered proximity alarm") Neatly done though.

[piup5]

you know, there are resetable and more reliable player sensors out there, just check the forums

[henko91]

You could also put a piston that refills the TNT with a line of TNT that is being extended with sand falling down behind it.

[burns0100]

how would u make this a trap because it can only fire a certain amount of tnt then its out and u cant refill it. only good way is lava but thats slow and sometimes unpredictable its good and all but unless u only want a one time only trap its pointless. may kill you the first time but wont work second time round. sorta like a sand trap.

[shadow171393]

@burns0100 get some fantasy u can wire at least a 100 different ressetable traps to that -.-

[thebaron241]

Etho would you possibly be able to get on a mc server and show me how to do redstone stuff? You could record it also.

[ruthwijma]

dangit I thought of this a few days ago:P

[Tatalion4Ever]

@Jeandebilo Yep but you can't get things like mobspawner or the mushroom biome grass on creative mode. In Single Player Commands if you don't remember the name you will need to search for ID but it will be on TooManyItems.

[theIpatix]

why does etho all the things he's gonna use in his adventure map?

could be a little bit boring but a great hint!

[JoroCom]

@Jeandebilo he has uploading issues cuz the videos of the lets plays are larger in size so he thinks that lenght > quality

[RedstoneBob]

etho is the cuck norris of minecraft!

[JoroCom]

@RedstoneBob its chuck not cuck

[Tatalion4Ever]

Etho, if you want to make the map Quicker you will need: TooManyItems, Gui Monster Spawner (monsterspawner ingame editor), Single Player Commands.

[CoDCopsProductions]

@Tatalion4Ever He still could just use creative mode and MCEdit :)

[MrAag68]

Thanks etho! now i'm to scared to walk around in my own world!!

[TheRealBulluk]

small question: why are your tutorials in 720p and not your normal lets play's?

[Worfelzarz]

@TheRealBulluk The tutorials are shorter, which makes it take less time to upload.

[nicka1011]

@EthosLab doesn't it occasionally trigger anyway when the player is over 24 blocks away because it's a vaild location with a light level 0?

[Worfelzarz]

@nicka1011 Chance is extremely low unless it's the only unlit place on the map



[TheUselessgeneration]

Ethoslab youtube page is my homepage.

[JoroCom]

Since Vechs thinks he is the best in CTM maps he should play Ethos map and see how its done !

[jokimo92]

The worst thing is, I would love to see Etho go through the map he's making and die all these times, and also avoid all these genius traps... But it wouldn't be fun since he is the maker of it... Who am I going to watch play through his map?!?

[judders96]

how many more etho > porn comments do we need?

[Atanar89]

This is cool to make a trap that actually detects if your are on peaceful, then you can spam your map with tnt if the difficulty is wanted not to be peaceful.

[ZombieSlayr800]

Can this be used in multiplayer? lol 

[infinitypark003]

@ZombieSlayr800 Pretty much yes. Unless they turned off monsters on the server, which would render this useless on the Server that you play on.

[MrFriuX]

This is a great idea for example droping tnt from the roof. totaly unexpected

[Left4dead4miller]

cool

[MrArtholones]

How to heck did you get that idea? :)

[Jotamota]

Really creative. You overdone yourself Etho! AWESOME :3

[AnonymouStalkerCorp]

The torch flicker could be used for a badass arrow machine gun

[RiiBzxX]

3:00 Or you could use the arrow-fire one...

[Morse183]

I smell automatic doors

[hngldr]

@ethoslab, just imagine using these so the traps only went off when people had finally managed to get their prize, and were on their way BACK. it would only take some pretty simple redstone to do so.

[superawesomesuperkid]

This is a great idea but seems like a real dick move for a map.

[yinge101]

mobspawner + pressure plate?

no offence etho, i love your videos,

but they're kinda getting simpler.

I WANT COMPLEX REDSTONE MADNESS!

[HockeyG33]

@yinge101 It is simple because it is laid out for you. You never would have thought of something like this. If it is so simple, go create something extremely complex out of redstone and post it on Youtube.
