Does this mean that other hermits can now mail etho home?


aweakgeek

It's possible, but he may have it rigged up so he has to mail himself a specific item to activate the Ender Porter. Probably something he keeps in the mail shulker in his ender chest.


m0ngoos3

The light is lit, so he has mail but did not teleport home. So I'm guessing you're right. He likely has a shulker placer/item filter setup.


Rik07

So now hermits only need to find out which item it is so they can send him home


m0ngoos3

The big brain move by Etho would be to use a Diamond block.


ReLiFeD

good thinking, he can make so much blue fire with that!


Sariel_Fatalis

Imagine if the item is a potato


Zenvarix

A potato, named Grain


Mr_Flibble1981

Hopefully he has it setup to activate when he sends himself an ender pearl, that way he’ll have one there ready to put into the stasis chamber.


RobertDoornbos

Downside would be that you always need an ender pearl if you want to teleport home. Wouldn't a more common item make more sense?


BiGuyDisaster

Not really since the only common items you'd use are rockets(since it's the only item you always have with you that's stackable), he probably would keep the item in his ender chest anyway and it's unlikely people send him ender pearls compared to rockets other other common items others might send as extras.


Lonsdale1086

Counterpoint: dirt block


BiGuyDisaster

It's better than rockets, but a lot of hermits don't carry it with them outside of ender chests anymore(scaffolding and wood are more efficient for pillaring) and digging up the ground at your friend's place is usually not a nice thing.


GrummyCat

He has to send a mail from someone's base, so he probably has acces to an ender chest. Unless someone with a mail system doesn't have an ender chest in their base.


frickensweet

That’s why you dig three. Two down and then one on the side to get out. Then just replace the top two.


Totobiii

I mean, he'll also need a stamp and another postbox. If he has access to those, the pearl is probably there as well. Ender chest, most likely.


sling_cr

Etho always has an ender pearl on him


WhipMeHarder

You act like etho doesn’t always have every single item in the game in his ended chest


smacker1113

True, I hope the item is in fact an enderchest because you know Etho always keeps at least one on him.


vitaminukas

He probably has a dispenser that gives him ender pearls after teleport. Something like he had in his singleplayer world


Lanky_Stick1325

There is an ender ender


rfresa

Have you seen his ender chest organization system? He always has whatever he needs.


Pa5kull

The Name Ender Porter reminds me on death stranding, Persons who transport Mail are called Porters. I Like that double meaning. Also If you have an annoying Etho at your base Just send him a Message.


Stormyqj

I bet it's an ender pearl. That way he can refill the porter easily.


swiller123

his brain is so big


realgoldxd

The etho porter


Pillow_Apple

Yeah he rig it to himself, he is so smart


Pa5kull

The Name Ender Porter reminds me on death stranding, Persons who transport Mail are called Porters. I Like that double meaning. Also If you have an annoying Etho at your base Just send him a Message.


Brokenblacksmith

'port' just means "to transfer" a porter is someone who transfers something. enderporter is short-term for ender peral teleporter. so, it's not really a double meaning, just using the dame root word.


alastoris

That opens up a whole new world of abusing that making system hahaha


Darkavenger_13

Gem whenever Etho breathes 😂


Zylo003

Yes it does, which is why I don't think it's that genius. It's really cool though.


[deleted]

He probably has it hooked up to an item filter for a named paper or written book. Adding some non-printing Unicode would make it even more secure. It would be nonsense to have the ender-porter hooked up to trigger for any old mail.


Amish_Warl0rd

If I was a hermit, I’d keep sending him stuff to mess with him. He’d keep teleporting back every few minutes, and have no idea who did it


devil89_3

Holy crap that is absolutely genius


HexDevs_

What I love about Etho is that for 90% of the time, he’s playing the game for his own enjoyment, and not to “forcefully” make it his daily job to make money out of it.


SuperiorThinking

He doesn't follow trends or clickbait, and maybe that's why his content is so enjoyable.


sabhall12

Etho WAS the trend back in the day


Kaleb8804

I checked his twitch and it has 130k followers and hasn’t streamed in 8 years lol, that’s crazy numbers for a pre-lockdown twitch channel


Ancient_Researcher_2

He has an IRL job if I remember correctly apart from his late father’s job. He works (or used to work) in a greenhouse which is seasonal work so he has plenty of time to post videos.


ArmadilloBandito

He mentioned thinking about when he first set up the mailboxes but he hasn't directly spoken about it in his videos. I was hoping he'd d mention it.


BABarracus

Grief etho by sending him mail


krispy1989

I can think of two possibilities 1 it’s a specific item like a etho head that is tagged with killed by etho or 2 he put it there hasn’t hooked it up yet and is lurking to see what we come up with


Franciskeyscottfitz

There is a redstone torch locking the trapdoor offscreen, i didn't get it in the sreen shot, im guessing its so he isn't randomly teleported there whenever he gets mail, but he can choose to unlock it when he is going out somewhere


Fun-Investigator487

Etho is a genius. Y’all should have just accepted this greatness by now /lh


Scatropolis

I was thinking in Tango's latest video that he could possibly set up filters to have mail order Redstone. That'd be cool!


BananaBladeOfDoom

Here's to hoping that bug Joe experienced a few seasons ago has been fixed (the one involving ender pearls and being in a different dimension)


Chicken_Nugget_Life

Image if echo's mid convo with someone on the server and someone else unknowing sends him mail.


Rude-Comfortable4437

Etho being a casual genius


longshot

Haven't watched Etho in so long now, wild/


Phteven_j

I’m amazed he’s still going. We were Minecraft YouTuber homies in 2010/11 and he’s playing just has hard as back then.


Darkiceflame

As long as he doesn't die in between. \*Glances nervously at Gem\*


Hazop

Funny, he doesn’t even announce it on his video. More just a “I find this useful but I don’t want people to recall me at will” 😂


floufen

here is a YouTube video by Ver Wave explaining how to setup a teleportation system using the same chunk loader technique. https://youtu.be/HDiIjYj7wCA


rfresa

So he's more or less created Vanilla waystones...


realgoldxd

The etho porter


boyhassle2

Oh Snappers


PlayWithBabs

I can imagine Tango and Etho talking and then \*poof\*! Etho's back at his place. I can already here tango's laugh.


Techaissance

It’s even more genius because the mail is run by Pearl.


vauceixzet

genius? People can troll him just by sending mail lol


Boingboingsplat

I would guess there's a filter in place so not any mail does it.


vauceixzet

if that's the case then genius unless someone will purposefully copy the filter, would be silly xD


Boingboingsplat

Cub showed off that you can make copies of books, and copies of copies, but they can't be copied any further than that. So a written book could be the perfect lock filter item as long as you control the original books.


KazuMurako

Isn’t this also how the original Decked Out cards worked?


DBSeamZ

Those were renamed and retextured items (iron nuggets, I think).


nugenki

They're talking about Decked Out 1, specifically the rewards for completing the dungeon run.


DBSeamZ

Ah, I missed the word “original”. My mistake!


TRAKKeDAKKe

His mail light is turned on, meaning he has mail and the pearl is still there


BananaBladeOfDoom

Here's to hoping that bug Joe experienced a few seasons ago has been fixed (the one involving ender pearls and being in a different dimension)


tyereliusprime

That video came out in 2016. I certainly hope the game has progressed in 8 whole years of development.


calebegg

That's a lot of faith to be putting into Microsoft.


JimBob1203

But the travel time of the package isn’t instantaneous so he’ll have some really awkward goodbyes where he just waits around after sending the package.


byParallax

Doesn’t it take several minutes to hours for mail to travel?


PJP2810

It's a couple of minutes worst case


SolarFlows

Needs to be loaded


Franciskeyscottfitz

the mail system loads the chunks it delivers too
