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 :)

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

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.

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

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!.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Jokes on you, I already got my snacks

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!

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 😱

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.

And my day has been made!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

drop everything, this is an emergency, etho uploaded

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I'm fairly certain that charged creepers get you a guaranteed wither skull- so maybe you could use that? Arrange a Wither skeleton farm where the piglins lure the skeletons through a portal to collect them in the overworld. Nearby, have a field where you collect creepers, which you can charge with a trident during storms. Bring together a creeper and a skeleton, make the creeper explode, guaranteed skull. And infinite coal. It's kind of weird and overly complicated, but it would bring in a large amount of skulls.

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

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 :)

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

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

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 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.

"A Woohoo!" -Etho 18:12

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

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

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!

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

The bartering mostly is to fill out what you can’t get in the nether any other way, it’s why they added gold in the nether, you can get through a large chunk of the tech tree starting in the nether, and now it’s super easy to get out of the nether with bartering alone, (mine gold, barter for obsidian and fire charge) you can’t get string or iron in the nether without bartering ad it is right now, I think getting rid of leather from the list makes sense because you get that from hoglins anyways.

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.

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

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

You know you’re a good RU-vidr when you have your viewers at the edges of their seats waiting for every video

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 .

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

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!

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! :)

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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!

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!

hiya,I know this will probably get lost in the comments but I have extreme foot fungus and it hurts. Thanks have a good day!

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

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

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

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

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. 🤔

The reason it's OP is if you connect a gold farm to it you'll have basically unlimited items. Imagine connecting the Iron/Gold nether farm to it and pumping gold into a Piglin farm that was able to keep up with the several stacks of items, and it was AFK able. I think the biggest reason Piglin trading is OP is it'd AFK-able. Now an interesting mechanic IMO is if Piglins loved gold but we're corrupted by it, say they make a trade and then turn into a zombie or have a chance of turning into a zombie, that would balance it. It'd make a bunch of people mad, but would be really cool at the same time. Also a way to convert zombies back into Piglins with a weakness potion and a normal apple would be a fun mechanic. Edit: also I believe he means filter out wither skeletons from general mobs for the farm so you only get either skeletons and then the rest go to a kill chamber.

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

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?

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!

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 (:

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

20:30 It looks like a road to me because of the length en the stripe down the middle, maybe put some sort of diagonal pattern in there. Not sure if it would look better or to crammed, but it's an idea That being shared, I really like the colour scheme :) 20:20 maybe 1 more? Not sure either

People didn’t craft spectral arrows. Cubfan135 enters the chat

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

It’s been 9 years and etho still just takes a screenshot for the thumbnail.

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

27:57 I thought Etho would also say whether or not he would consider making a wither skeleton farm because of all the coal he would get for his super smelters since his current bamboo fuel source is not the best IMO.

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

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.
