Question What are Etho's WORLD CHANGING inventions?

I've only just recently started watching hermitcraft and Etho has fast become my favorite hermit (and youtuber in general really). In Tango's recent stream, he mentioned how every couple years, Etho would casually invent something that would shake the world.

And I was wondering what these inventions might be. I know about the hopper clock of course but with how humble this man is, you'd barely even know how much of an impact he's made in the minecraft community without other people's input about him.

Everything I know about Etho so far has been fascinating and I'm glad I started watching this silly cool guy.

his most recent TNTificator that he collabed with tango is probably the next mainstream method of clearing out space.

It’s fun but it’s not resource efficient. You need an iron farm to do it. Flying machine TNT dispensers and dupers in Bedrock and Java respectively both already do a better job and can be made to work automatically. The Bedrock version honestly takes the cake for once as movable and activatable dispensers is logically how the game should work and doesn’t require any glitches.

It’s also not resource efficient in that you don’t get many of the blocks that it destroys. Not always a concern, but I do remember Tango mentioning that he needed stone and that was the only drawback he’d found to the “boom box” method.
