Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 546: ChuggaRug Revamping 

When he said that he built the guardian farm a long time ago it hit hard... I remember coming home from school to watch him work on this

It's him officer, the man that talks about my mom

He’s been playing on this world for so long that his nether looks like a nether hub for a public server

As for the villager: I feel like it's a legacy villager at this point. You didn't cheat it into the world; it existed as such *in* the world before Mojang changed how trading works. As such, I see no problems with using him (as well as other villagers like him) - it just shows how much time you've spent in the world! Great stuff as always BTW. I've watched your videos for a long time now, and if anything, they've been improving. Always puts a smile on my face to see a new Etho video in my feed :)

The fact that you've kept a world intact for this long gives you permission to use the villager. You've earned it. Either way, if it means you're having fun playing the game, have at it.

Ergo, I think you've put enough time into this world to warrant saving some time by trading for redstone. Have a ball.

You are allowed to use the cheaty villagers, its your reward for perseverance in a world and all the headaches you've dealt with your machines breaking across updates. If you've got no choice but to deal with the negative side effects of updating and carrying your world for so long, then youre entitled to the benefits too

18:00 when etho said he was running low on prismarine but then crafted a bunch of walls instead of a stone cutter. It’s the little things I notice.

Hard work pays off in the future but procrastination pays off right now.

Etho : "We won't have time to finish every project before the world download." Also Etho : "We're gonna build a new farm ..."

I was 15 when I started to watch Etho's videos, I remember the first thing I saw was a Tour of his world, I liked minecraft quite a lot back then (Nowadays too, don't get me wrong), every time he uploaded a new video I'd come to watch it like it was a religion for me, the channel wasn't so popular back then. I'm 24 now, about to finish my masters degree in physics and my love for Ergo's content hasn't faded one bit, I still come every time there's a new video, no matter how busy I am. Content has improved quite a bit on the past 9 years, I've seen the highs and lows of this channel and so far, this is the best I've seen. Great work, as always!.

I'd love to see murals on the walls around the guardian farm. Maybe something like Egyptian hieroglyphs, but guardian-based.

"we're gonna put a woohoo at the top there" Etho never fails to give me a good chuckle

I love how productive you've been lately! Not just with the amount of videos and the consistent variety in series, but the amount of things you've gotten done in this series. I look forward to the world tour. Even though I don't miss out on stuff because I watch every episode, I love seeing old projects again (like the library :P you should work on that btw!). I sometimes go back and rewatch world tours for the nostalgia. Well, to be honest, I often rewatch random old episodes, not just from this series, but your other series as well.

“The dirt is scaffolding” “Does anybody else out there still use sand as scaffolding?” Scaffolding block: *cries in a corner*

When you mentioned the Persian rug I thought of the Guude house prank thing with the von sway from 6 years ago! Thanks for cheering me up.

Maybe a giant stained glass guardian eye on each of the windows of the guardian farm? Or possibly on the top so it shows up on a map?

Etho use Google Drive for the world DL. The site won't crash if many people want to download at once, and you get 15GB free.

Let's just appreciate how good a builder Etho is. He just took a giant plain glass cube surrounded by ugly walls and he started making a beautiful thing. I also like that he used 'a woohoo' as an architectural term. Can't wait for the world download! Hopefully we won't crash the host website again.

Quite literally the best gaming youtuber, I started watching over 5 years ago and recently returned. Still the same old etho that I knew and loved back in high school, you dont use thumbnails or clickbait. Oh never change etho! Going to be a frequent viewer of this channel again.

Etho: The old gold farm still works Everyone: Oh yes! The one that looks like a... Etho: Aaaaaaanyway... :v

it's so strange hearing him say the guardian farm is old. makes me realise how much time has passed since I started watching his channel

Minecraft: Has scaffolding blocks Etho: Uses sand, dirt and nether wart blocks as scaffolding. ... I love it.

Etho: How about a simple tree farm? Also Etho: And this is where the TNT will land

Yes Etho! It was a big shift into the editing and new things but... I love it! And so do others! Please continue in your own little style with all the high quality footage and editing! Thanks for the years of fun and inspiration man! Much Love From A Fellow Canadian!

yea ofcourse you can abuse redstone trades :D it's nostalgia from old days! You got the guy there legit and you deserve to do that trade, as long as you got the villager legit!

I know a lot of people like new projects, but for me watching old projects get revisited and updated is one of my favorite parts of the series. Thanks for being awesome Etho!

Will you and Zisteau play the new Terraria update? I would hate to see Terraria 1.4 is EZed become Terraria 1.4 is DED.

“For those of you that don’t like redstone projects”... Etho, we’re here for the redstone projects.

I want the “woohoo” at 18:20 as a ringtone!

“Cows are only good for food and leather” MILK?!?!

My Etho addiction has become greater than my coffee addiction, I can’t stand the wait between vids anymore. Obviously I don’t want them faster, he does enough work as it is, but damn, there’s never enough Etho in the world.

Jokes on you, I already got my snacks

As much as I look forward to the world tour ep, part of me believes that its gunna be a massive troll ep as well lol.

“Im not gonna show how to craft a stick. Hey sheep.” -Etho, episode 1

I really like the quartz trade, It's really important that there should be a renewable/farmable source of any material. Why? Because on big multiplayer worlds or just really old worlds, all of the naturally spawned ores and resources are eaten up very quickly., and travelling thousands of blocks just to get a few resources is no fun. The way to balance it is just to make the difficulty of setting up a farm or rarity of the drop from trades proportional to how scarce or valuable the resource is naturally.

For a second when I saw this title, I thought Chuggaaconroy was crossing over in this episode with Etho.

And my day has been made!

These new scene cuts, and b roll additions are great, Etho! You're so creative keep it up 😁👍

I have been watching etho for about 8-9 years now. pretty much from the beginning. And the content never ceases to amaze me. He consistently comes up with new and interesting content. Im so glad that ive been here. Thanks for everything

I've only recently started watching and I'm really enjoying your content. You do a really good job.

Wow, a week ago I was talking about how my dog had passed away when that episode came out. Now, one week later, my cat broke her hind leg. Since she is 17, the vet says that she won't make it through surgery or amputation. Now we have to say goodbye to her too. Luckily these videos help cheer me up. Thank you, Etho. I've basically grown up watching your vids (from like episode 280 I think) Keep bringing joy to those who need it.

The raining underground bug has been fixed, but your world is broken from opening it in that snapshot. You’ll need to run the optimize world function on it with the clear option checked.

holy crap! the amount of work is astounding. thank you. been here since the untouchable clay times.

I feel like when you hear clicking in the background of the man cave you just know it’s the get your snacks dispenser.

How about filling the walls with some simple flat drawings of landscapes relating to the ocean, similar to the things in the normal tree farm? Maybe taking inspiration on the nordic sagas in regards to their ships and invastions for boats or the like.

Love how Etho is under attack during is nether farm speach facing cam and not bothered one bit

Also, when you resplendent in the dragon, it fixes the pillars, so you don’t just have to break the platform, go back to the over world, and go back to the end to resplendent it. You could have just mined the pillars, and when those are gone, respawn the big bad and beat his butt. Fresh pillars, good as new.

Use the villager for infinite redstone. You'll spend less time getting redstone, and you deserve it

Gosh darn, these episodes are my happy place during lockdown.

Etho, I've been watching your videos for years now. I started watching when I was in about 5th grade. I'm a senior now. Please never stop what you're doing, you're one of my favorite youtubers of all time.

Comment section be like: -"Yes! Use the Redstone Cheatho" (I agree!) - "woohoo!" -"make the walls like this" And I'm just sat gormless over the diorite andesite crafting at the end 😱

drop everything, this is an emergency, etho uploaded

"we're going to do a little woohoo here"

8:21 when he picks up the blocks, something weird happens on the left side of the screen. It looks like for a split second, the wire frame outline of a targeted block gets drawn in the wrong spot. Very strange! Anyone know what that is?

Last time I saw that Get Your Snacks machine was the highlight of my Etho viewing. I was coming home from school every few days to a brand new amazing Etho video, popping a whole bag of popcorn, and eating it during the nearly 40 minute long videos. Great great times (:

"A Woohoo!" -Etho 18:12

Etho! I'm so excited for the world tour coming up. I know you usually try to keep it within a certain time limit, but I think it would be really fun for this one if you just really let yourself go in depth with all the little odds and ends around the world. I would watch every second of it!

Use the redstone trade. It's the advantage of having an old world. I don't even remember that villager getting there but I sure remember seeing the farm being built.

Been watching you for 10 years. I'm 27 now, have grown with this world :) love it

And yes, good on you for trying some other things! I personally do a fair bit of redstone and know how to automate this stuff but I’m sure many would appreciate this! And yes Ergo, trade that man! You’ve put up with enough of old Minecraft to not take the benefits!

I’ve been watching ethos early LP episodes and everytime I hear his voice now I’m just like wow who flipped the positive switch

etho i used to watch you everyday i havent seen your channel in years thank you for making my childhood the best

These are one of my favorite type of videos to watch Etho and other hermits that are good with redstone making these crazy efficient farms

Imagine the bots being like “dONt liE wHOs bEen A faN oF eThO bEForE 2010” xD

Etho for the walls of your guardian farm you should have a mosaic on all 4 walls (maybe 3) depicting your world but in a 2d format, I think that would be awesome since you could make it so detailed Like if you agree :)

Etho is the goat of Minecraft youtube the world might just not know it yet

Ik every other comment mentions how great your content has become recently, but you're episodes are amazing Etho! I've been watching you for like 7 years now and i swear we're living in an Etho renaissance!

Etho you should do some glass pixel art at the guardian farm! You got such a large canvas I feel like you can do some neat stuff with it

Gotta love how he uses dirt even though there’s an actual scaffolding block now and he has a bamboo farm

I’d like to note the very nice person on episode 158 discussing how he ate lunch while watching etho. It warms my heart

Love the matching colors in the prizmarine and the warped wood at the guardian farm. Looks great man!

Etho, for the time and effort you've put to your world I think you've rightfully earned a good/cheaty villager. I mean you didn't cheat him into existence, he's part of your world's heritage regardless of newer iterations. I say use him so you can make the projects you wish without grinding for redstone all the time. Have good one! :)

Hey E to the T to the your mom! I really hope that you remember that one. Anyway, with the world tour coming up, I wanted to compile a list of just about all of your projects, contraptions, and just fun things all around your world that I could remember at the top of my head to show you how much you’ve done in this series: First of all, there’s the man cave, and in that: - The cave entrance - Wire access to a potion lab by minecart hopper - Pop-up sheep farm + storage - Ender pearl dispenser - Day/night time tunes - Crafting table swapper - Your first main storage room - A furnace room with wire access - Mini mushroom farm - Small record player - Small pumpkin/melon farm - Secret waterfall path to library - Bulk storage within the secret path - Lvl 50 flexible bookshelf enchanting area with tool dispensers - Man-made river throughout the cave - Very efficient vine farm - Your old ore storage room - Old, but quick mini farms - Snowball farm with "wire" access - Dual spider farm with displays - First dual cave spider farm near tree farm - Fishing shack - Lava creeper face with arrow shooting - Nether portal switch behind creeper face - You fought the wither with Zenith - Horse stable - Wilson, the tamagotchi pet - Slime farm with size-sorting - Donation tree farm with wall murals + ceiling design - Big slime railroad around trees - Flower/nether shroom/seed farm - You have old bulk storage room near the nether wart farm - Nether wart farm with automatic storage - Cthulhu - Emerald city village with super o.g. villagers - "Go get your snacks" machine - Armor display and armor stands - Fireworks room - Old, but broken piston spiral elevators - Ugly brick thing - Cow/mooshroom farm and UFO fishing - Map of the world in cow farm - First potion lab with potion pixel art - Etho’s lab potion farm with 20-ish brewing stands - Jeff - Two-tall flower farm - Project Pokémon with villager dropping systems - All your Etho doors - experimented with bunny powered doors - Nebris inspired ring-style bricks - Regular mob system connected with pyramid - Shulker search storage, nexus 2.0 - New and improved village - Villager school - Villager art on village ceiling - Killing villager with fire arrows mini game - Zombie purifier to the underground village - Semi-automatic rotten flesh trading system - Llama elevator - Musical mushroom farm - Simon says game - Horse elevators - C. pow interchangeable wall - Rabbit farm turned into pig farm - Mini farm with mob prevention - Lots of undecorated cave And throughout the world: - Greatly decorated swamp - Branch mine donation area - Snow golem light systems in that - Your EATS road - Snow flake iron golem farm - Sandy city with nether portal in the well - How did you get the llamas to walk around sandy city like that? - Spaceship gold farm that looks like a "spaceship" - Minecart chest bridge from library to spaceship - The library! with Grandma Witherbottom - Horse road that you no longer use with day light sensor’d lights - Chest with first ever pickaxe still there - Cactus farm copy from your original world - Slab city and tree farm there - Underwater base - Orange sand maker - Fake desert temple troll - ETHO fire contraption - 10x10 ice farm - Animal art (like penguin near ice farm and wooly mammoth) - Giant sugar cane farm with sombrero cactus - Lake with custom trees and firework shack - YOU’VE BEEN ETHO’D - 404 room (redstone testing room) - Blacksmith building - Ender-porters - Windmill with elder guardian on top - Giant wheat field - Chorus farm with water road towards blacksmith - Ender dragon egg trophy room with fading lights - TNT cannon with desirable direction and range - You still have original villages nearby - Nexus system - Super smelter - Bamboozler - Brown mushroom farm - Pumpkin farm - O.G. villager with 8 pumpkin trade - Amplified base with moving storage system - Mini 1-block tall base - Guardian farm that’s in the middle of the plains biome - Mob system made of snow - Stronghold base - Silver fish farm - Ice road from stronghold to man cave - Bomb factory - Drearyville - Mining mesa - Ender man farms x3 - EATS roads in end - Nether hub with flashing lights - Donut gold farms - Iron/gold goon farm - Dual blaze farm - Experimental exploding bed tree farm - Witch farm - Obsidian farm with 4.1 second timings - Amplified sand/sandstone mining area - Second zombie purifier - Compact auto brewery at dual blaze farm - Castle crashers frog - A nether village - Blaze farm at original fortress - Wither farm - Ghast blaster tree thousand - Concrete selection vending machine - A new better ice farm - Mastermind game - Pillager farm - Newer TNT tree farm - Vending machine for frequently used items - Underwater mob farm - Bastion renovation and bridge (crimson keep!) - Indie brewer - Dumpstervil I definitely did not get everything, and sorry for any inconsistencies and any vague descriptions, but man have you really accomplished so much. I believe that you are one of my longest running RU-vid subscriptions with the many accounts I’ve made and lost passwords too, but I still enjoy your videos the most. I wasn’t there from the beginning, but my earliest memories are you working on Project Pokemon, making the glass road for the Ender Ender 2.0, and when you started working on the amplified base. I was there when you made Sandy City upgrades and all the comments sprung, and I was there when some asian guy got top comment almost every video by saying "Etho! You rock!" I even remember when Mr. Beast commented on one of your videos. I especially remember when you hit 1.9 million subs and the long stretch that it took to reach that 2 million mark, but I’m finally glad that you did reach it, because you deserved it. You were a huge part of my childhood, and I wanted to thank you for that.

Thank you so much for the lecturn! I've been watching your series for *many* years, but even with this it was still kinda hard to figure out where your structures were in your 500 episode download. Thank you for this!

What etho said about how you can pretty much get every item in the game from villagers made me think it'd be cool to have a pack where it's like Skyblock but you are able to unlock certain villagers by completing certain quests or something and just unlock all these different items through villagers, and you'd have to design farms and stuff to trade for emeralds to trade for other things, I think that would be cool

I think that a good addition to the bartering would be if there was a different table for trading gold blocks instead of ingots. People already build the gold farms, might as well .

Hey Etho, I was wondering what type of music do you like. In the HermitCraft series you use the noteblocks alot. You have done all sorts of songs but 1 in particular, you played DragonForce which is Power Metal. Anyway, it would be cool to know what music you listen too or if you collect vinyls or anything like that!

A pixel art of a guardian on the glass walls would look amazing! Keep up the amazing work I love your videos Etho!

For the four sides, I would do the kelp farm but cover it with pixel art drawings of the current water mobs in the game to signify the ocean update when the guardians came out

Before Etho uploads lets play: 😕 Seeing a new lets play episode: 🙂

Hey Etho ! To help everyone know where stuff is in your world, why don’t you use maps and named banners to mark out locations on the map for each player to see.

I started watching in like episode 40 waaayyyy back, can't believe this show is still going. Etho you're a beast!

I'm of the opinion that you should be rewarded for having all this legacy content Etho. The fact that you've kept these villagers alive through the ages means you've earned the right to use their broken trades. Get all the Emeralds and Redstone your little heart desires.

Whenever Ergo sounds a bit deeper like he did this episode, or at least during some segments I always wonder if it's morning voice, he's sick, or needs to clean his pillow again. 🤔

I see what Mojang is doing with the piglin trading. They want it to be possible to live in the neater without going to the overworld for anything. So it would make sense from that view that the piglins would have string and water bottles, because there is no spiders or water in the nether. With that in mind, dropping the glow stone and magma cream makes sence becuse you can get that exclusively in the nether. The leather seems pointless, since the hogglins drop leather, but I think that it makes sense that they would trade it because piglins hunt hogglins, and leather would be something they have on hand. But this all feels like excuses. I feel like this trading is a patch for what Mojang was intending, but couldn't manage to do in time. They wanted you to be able to live in the nether, so they gave the nether stone and wood to make tools. They added magma cube spawners for fire resistance farms. They made Hogglins for food, striders for travel, respawn anchors to replace beds, and lodestones to find the way. But it's not complete. The nether still doesn't have redstone or regular slime, so most conventional farms are basically impossible, made only harder by the lack of water. And from that idea, I feel like piglin trading was added in last to try to catch all the points they didn't reach, like string, potion bottles, and iron. But this still doesn't feel right. If you're living in the nether without the overworld, you are living in a world without redstone. So the piglin trading becomes slower, possably too slow to even make it work. I don't like Piglin or villager trading. They both seem like late game things, that are possable to abuse early on.

so happy to finally see etho get some of the growth he deserves- he was on 1.99mil subscribers for months and now he’s jumped to 2.11 in a short period of time. keep grinding etho :D

I have so much respect for how long this let's play is

Can we just salute this man for continuing this let's play for 10 fricin years

You could fill the walls in with more of your pixel art

Etho you are my main source of entertainment and have been for so many years. I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for a lot of people here to say when you upload you make our days better everytime. We love you Etho! Keep killing it

I think anytime that there is a bug that allows etho to get a unique benefit, i.e. his red stone villager. He should absolutely use it. It’s like a reward for keeping his world going for so long.

Hey Etho, when you do a lot of “off-camera” work, do you listen to music? For example, on spotify? If you do listen to music, what kind of music you mostly listen to?

The last time I was this early, Etho was still digging holes for flora.

Hey Etho, IMHO you should have flowing water running down the shroomlight columns at your guardian farm. It adds a little bit of movement, dulls the light a bit and fits thematically (kind of like an overflow for your aquarium). Aaaand about your villager: he is in the game legit, you didn't cheat to get him, you kept him alive long enough, so it's not cheating it's your deserved reward. You've earned it! Cheers!

you were a big part of my childhood, i remember watching you a lot when i was younger. thanks for it :)

Hey etho I’ve always wondered if you ever thought about revisiting/finishing old series. I was rewatching your old Mindcrack videos (season 2 and it was the video named trex park if I recall correctly) and you said that you were sorry about never finishing Day of The Tentacle. So I was curious about why you never finished it and if you ever thought about finishing it?

Hey Etho! I really loved watching all the PvP games you played back in the day. Any chance you would start playing those (or similar to those) again? Love your videos!

Etho, if you wanna use the Cheatho villagers, that isn’t a problem at all - you deserve it for this long lasting let’s play. The main thing is to just make sure that it doesn’t ruin your own experience. Maybe there are some trades that make the gameplay feel chesty and ruin the fun for you?? Idk. But if you don’t feel that way, that is totally fine too!! If you’re having fun playing, we’re having fun watching!

I think some big pixel art mural for the walls of the guardian farm would look cool but a giant kelp farm would be more practical.
