Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 546: ChuggaRug Revamping

Minecraft survival. In this episode we continue the revamping plan by updating some more of the nether tunnels and also the guardian farm. Nether trees are needed, so we attempt to make a redstoneless farm to auto harvest them.

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

[@TheMrMe1]

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 :)

[@Malathier]

This right here ^

[@scalpingsnake]

I disagree. There are limitations for a reason, sure there is nothing stopping you from cheating but at that point why not just spawn it in? If you choose to forgo the balance you might as well just play in creative. That being said I don't mind him using the redstone trade if he has a big project to do and has to mine for hours on end, I just want to caution against cheating because it's these little steps that lead to the bigger ones.

[@BigMuskachini]

@@scalpingsnake Alright and then may as well not ever build iron farms, or ever build gold farms because you may as well cheat it in. Villager is a reward for having a based old world.

[@MobiusPeverell]

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

[@rifalya8114]

Yeah. Less time gathering redstone. More time making contents

[@StarShade0]

I call it a veteran’s discount.

[@georgeofhamilton]

Making significant progress without cheating doesn't grant him the right to make future progress with cheating. That being said, he doesn't need to go out of his way not to use an unintentional minor convenience.

[@ems8903]

[@RubyCheetahCub]

Redstone's a thing that can be farmed, it's basically free. Using the villager won't be much different. Emerald farms are a thing but kind of exploiting a quirk in the code for an endless raid, though you can amass large quantities of emeralds through regular trading.

[@ArronAbsol]

Yo why have I thought that before lol

[@kingbb911]

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.

[@simonharrison1510]

I agree

[@revi5555]

@@ChrisCeleste There's pretty much no reason not to, he does all the grinding off camera anyway. If anything it'd give him more time to work on projects because he'd have to spend less time farming redstone. I say use him and abuse him

[@IanNMejia]

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!.

[@markog1999]

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.

[@Chemchala]

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.

[@Dogburt_Junior]

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.

[@zooning-6843]

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.

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

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

[@ArringtonM1]

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 :)

[@christopherpenn9585]

that would be super amazing! to add on to that maybe make each wall represent 100-150ish episodes give or take and take the peaks of those parts of the series. then you could have a wall specifically for the first 100 (what is it, 104, 105?) episodes from the first world. this would be so cool and would be an amazing nostalgic history wall. =D

I say use him so you can make the projects you wish without grinding for redstone all the time. Have good one! :)

[@dev123215]

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!

[@SupremeGuru8]

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 (:

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.

String and iron are possible to get in the nether technically, striders drop string and iron can be traded with piglins for( you get nuggets)

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

[@0oEo0]

Yeah it took SO long to get over the 2 mil hill

[@starpravesh]

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.

[@SoCkMoNkEy324]

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

[@aizuru9128]

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.

The ender pearl trade makes finding/getting to the end in the really early stages of the game super easy. Before you had to get lucky and find/kill enough endermen for the eyes to then find and populate the portal. Now you trade a few gold bars and have more pearls than you know what to do with.

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!

[@rad.reiley]

@KZbin Watcher really? Thats cool

[@manuelbaez2341]

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

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

[@426shelby426]

What was flora again?

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.

[@Swordhaxor]

Hey Etho. In 1.16 walls have a new feature of ,,transmiting" redstone signal downwards (only downwards, beacuse it works on observer being uptadated by changing wall) Maybe it could be usefull in some machines?

[@hunterplate8934]

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!

[@TOJPFC]

I kinda want that “woo-hoo” sound as a text tone. Is that weird?

[@thanhtantran3593]

No it is not

[@eduardobarreto7488]

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

[@jocaleb0236]

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?

[@msr98111]

Here's a fun easter egg for you... Pay close attention to the toilet flush and music at the end of Hermitcraft Episode 16. Sound familliar? ;)

[@jocaleb0236]

KZbin Watcher yeah but it even applies to his more recent series (albeit they’re still older but time flies and feels like it was yesterday) such as his ark survival series
