Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 597: The Mob Museum

Idea for world tour: Invite Bdubs along with you!

Hey Etho! I've got a master's degree in museology, so maybe I can offer a bit of insight on what goes on the wall label! Full transparency: my area of expertise lies in art/archeological artifacts, but I do have knowledge in science/natural history museums as well. Normally, we include a history of the object (in this case it could be what update the mob was added, what biome the mob spawns in, etc.), material (this could be your heath stat!), and size (which, in Minecraft's case, is very visual. Probably not a necessary addition!) Personally, I'd format it like what we'd call a Tombstone, which is the bare-bones components of the object like this: [Mob Name/ID] [Update Added] [Spawnable Biomes] [Number of Hearts] In a full object label we'll also include some facts about the object, though this could get really tedious really quickly with the amount of mobs you're planning on adding to the mob museum. In terms of lighting, museums tend to keep a darker environment for preservation purposes, so that darker vibe with the spotlight style lighting didn't feel all that out of place! Though, museums can and will often break this mold and use lots of natural light/create bright spaces, so it really comes down to your preference! Both look fantastic so far! Doubling on what some commenters have suggested already, you could definitely use some colored banners as wayfinding for the museum! I can definitely see the project getting massive and it would help to have a gallery key for finding specific mobs. Say you're looking for a Baby Drowned Nautilus Jockey (or whatever the official name is), that would be a hostile underwater mob, which would have it's own hallway/gallery. You would have a key pointing to the gallery that you'd be able to immediately find the mob you're looking for. I hope any of this is useful for you! I'm really excited to see how this project progresses! Thank you so very much for all you do!

Somehow, Project Pokemon returned.

For the Dinnerbone mobs you could build a basement that has a flipped version of the museum and all of its mobs

4 birds one stone, sounds like hes going for a flock with a rock

Can't wait for the episode where Etho collects all the tropical fish variants for the mob museum.

Hi Etho, I've been watching your videos for around 12 years now, and even though I haven't played Minecraft in years, I still enjoy every upload. I'm about to become a father, and my wife doesn't really understand how I still watch these kind of videos, but I think it's because your content has been one of the few constant things throughout so many stages of my life. So just wanted to thank you for all the years of videos :)

Speaking of llamas, how did you get those llamas to walk around sandy city like that?

Weird to go from 12 and just getting out of school to watch an etho video to now where I’m checking my feed after a corporate meeting. Still just as giddy

Ethos calling Ocelots "Ocelotls". I'm not sure but that feels like a Goodtimeswithscar-ism 😂

I think the teeny itty bitty chick in the giant display is absolutely hilarious

I’d say skip the Dinnerbone mobs. Imagine they add another name tag variant in the future. It would get crazy big.

Etho's Ark

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the dinnerbone nametags because it doesn't change the texture beyond flipping them upside down, unlike the other nametag easter eggs like jeb_ and toast.

I was not physically ready for when he hit the trumpet sound for the first time lol.

23:30 “next time I’ll bring scaffolding” literally surrounded by bamboo lol!

Hi! I got married today, AND Ethoslab uploaded. Best day of my entire life

You could put a saddle in the shelves for animals that can wear one. Same for chests, and rugs.

Perhaps some green banners could be used if you don’t want leaves hanging from the ceiling. Could even add some designs to indicate stuff like passive vs hostile or something.

the tiny lil chick floating in the center is actually cracking me up so bad hes so cute
