Etho Slab

This article documents an April Fools' joke.

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.
It is documented here on the wiki due to being officially-released content by Mojang Studios, even if not present in a final version.

The etho slab is a joke slab introduced exclusively in Java Edition 2.0. It is a reference to the YouTube channel EthosLab.
