"Ah, so you're telling me Tango spent a week designing and building a custom farm to get more redstone? Buff witch farms."

"I used to be a RedStoner like you, then I took a puck to the throat"

Other hermits: " We got to be careful what we say, Cub will turn it into a horn!" Tango: "oh no now I'm riding his butt!"

"Doc is 4 millions blocks away", thats the first time Tango's exagerations are accurate xddd

Tango, I know you said you wanted to get more done in this ep but were slowed down by the complexity of the process, inventing up a new farm, but I actually really appreciate seeing that side of things. Makes it feel more 'real' rather than just like "hey, here's this thing I built, it's done."

How did he manage to say "i took a hockey puck to the throat" so casually

The more I watch the top redstoners the more I get the sense that what separates them from me is that they just aren't willing to accept that their idea is unworkable.

"You can see where this is going!" *Villager Suffocating Sounds Intensify*

Hermits: create a mail system Also Hermits: invent Minecraft spam

I think the bigger picture here that we're missing here.... Is that Tango, while convoluted and high maintenance, has created a working and sustainable automatic Lapis Lazuli farm.

Tango taking a hockey puck to the throat and just treating it like it's a normal Tuesday is pretty metal

12:55 vines don't have a hitbox but they also disable collisions, so they weren't getting pushed into the corner

first impulse and now tango has immortalized a rare etho compliment that they can listen to whenever they need the confidence boost xD

"I fell, I fell again. AHH HAA I'M A VILLAGER NOW" -Tango Tek 7:11

The mail system is just amazing like you just sent 10 hermits stuff from your base without having to travel.

A brazilian youtuber actually did make a farm with this gifting mechanic about 4/5 years ago! His name is Viniccius13, he got villagers for lapis, clay and redstone in his let's play survival world. He did not use any portals, thought.

3:23 OH CUB!! I have another Horn sample for you!!!

The side eye the villager gave as Tango sent him up in his minecart at 14:52 got me good, holy moly xP

I love how Tango knows scars a builder and still sends him a coupon. Smart man knows he may get a chunk out of ore mountain for his efforts

Using a binary counter as decoration is amazing xD The little minecart reminds me of those old-fashioned restaurants where a little train would go around

“Greatest red stone master in the world” 🤣 omg this is 😆 you just need to make sure Etho says that more often 🤣 😊

You need the lapis permit now, Tango. That's the best lapis farm I've ever seen!

I'm not sure I would follow so happily if Pearl ever told me to "come in here in the back of my truck" like that.

Awww SNAPPERS! Tango got his voice back!

Kerbal Space: Always check your staging. Tango Tek: Always check your rails, water streams, beds, redstone, villagers and chickens.

I love the way tango speaks English when he does red stone. “and then I do da boop.” “I said do da boop. “ “Chicken harder” “be free”

Sci Craft has built two HoTV farms, one with portals using this mechanic, Kayzm used this mechanic but with end gateways, Stromne has really similar one but without portals. The fact, that you figured this out without help of hivemind is impressive!

Tango! For your binary counter feature on your factory you should have a custom sound play when the counter reaches the end of its count and starts over! Just a thought. Also amazing job with the new restore/lapis farm. That is crazy and very innovative. Great new farm for the new update too

The only thing I can think to improve here is to slightly shorten the 30s timer, so that the villagers throw their gifts just as you're about to finish teleporting to the nether. Right now they throw the gifts, and only then do you start teleporting. Small difference, over many loops should add up to significantly better rates! In any case, this farm is incredibly cool, so smart!

All the people worried about Mojang buffing witch farms don't realize that Tango needs redstone now, not in some future patch 8 months from now when Hermitcraft updates to it. Awesome job, Tango! I don't have the patience or skill for what you do, kudos!

tango, spamming villager eggs: "you can see what's gonna happen" dozens of villagers: *instantly start taking damage*

Haha, nice Etho quote for the slimers. Might need a horn too.

The slimes at the start are such a huge spoiler for the rest of the episode 😂

22:17 Tango (very seriously): "Trust me. It's gonna work." 0 seconds later: "OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO" Tango, that cut was so freaking funny 😂😂😂

Hero of the Village farms have been around since the effect itself was in snapshots; Doc has a video about a HotV-based clay farm from snapshot 19w13a. Scicraft also has a 20k redstone dust/hour farm that was their main redstone source last I heard.

At first I was like "You play hockey??" Then I went "Oh yeah, sympathy. . . I hope you're doing well."

This is a fascinating look into the process of developing one of these farms, and even with the witch drop buffs coming, I still think this farm will have its advantages - mostly flexibility. Once raids are done via potions, the HotV farm can be *anywhere* instead of being location-locked like witch farms; and of course, you can choose to farm any villager-dropped items just by choosing different villagers. A true Tango masterwork once more.

Loved the troubleshooting in this one; not everything needs to be chaotic and all over the place (although everybody loves seeing the interactions between Hermits) Suggestion on what to do with all of that Lapis: If you're not going to build with the blocks, you can contact all of the Hermits with blue/light blue/cyan items (Concrete, Dye, Glass, Terracotta, Wool, all that jazz) and see if they'd like some in exchange for repeat business or discounts on their goods You know that they'll be coming in anyway, but it'll at least be a good way to not clog inventory space; they're doing you a favor at that point lol

Eyyy. This feels a really classic type of video for you. I remember subbing to you all the way back in the Iron Foundry days so this is great to come back to!

it's crazy how tango is focusing on the fact that it's it's powerful redstone farm, but I'm more looking at one of the first major farms for lapis (at least I've ever seen) which previously has been through exclusively mining

9:12 ilmango actually made a hero of the village redstone farm in his SciCraft 2 series, episode 5 in September 2022.

Don't worry about raid farms being nerfed The newest snapshot just heavily buffed witch farms, specifically their redstone output The snapshot version this can be found in is 24w20a

TangoTek time! The slimes caught me by surprise, not going to lie.

Hockey pucks are not Oreos, no matter how much they may look like them. You take the Oreos to the face, you block the pucks.

The greatest redstone master in the world sure does know how to make a good episode intro! Love the resource pack lol

man Tango is worth more than 20 millions subs. mixture of goofyness and chaos and brains is just on a level much higher than most creators.

You know the farm is good when there's some scadoodling involved.

I had no context for the intro and thought you had finally lost it. all the great ones do eventually

glad you are recovering, puck to the throat can be serious

What a great response to the raid farm nerf, although witch farms are now getting a decent buff, but my hat is off to your highly original solution.

On the troubles of picking up villagers: if an entity is "climbing" (eg in vines) colision is removed and minecarts pick up mobs they colide with. Therefore you cant pick up any villagers that are touching the vines

the Hero of the Village farm concept has been around for awhile. I first saw it on Methodzz's channel, they've used it on SciCraft as their main source of redstone since they dislike the use of raid farm, ilmango has made a video about it titled "SciCraft 2: 20,000 Redstone Dust Per Hour As A Gift (Episode 5)". Other concepts have also been made by people like Stromne or Kayzm who have also published videos about them and there are a lot more that are not published on KZfaq.

Tango beware! Villages may get struck by lightning if not careful! And become witches!

That intro is fun icl :P 0:54 Just casual hockey player things lol 4:29 “If you wanna send any love messages to other people on the server, because that’s just how it’s going right now” 27:25 “Please hold” trauma lol 31:56 Tehehe binary counter my beloved

Putting all the villagers in that space and only cutting out when they start taking entity cramming damage is hilarious, and the kind of humor I love from Mr. Of The Tek Variety

A glass floor in the crafting room would be nice it would scar proof it and you can still see everything

I just binged all of Tango’s episodes yesterday and he just uploaded a new one! What perfect timing!

Tango, the Greatest Redstone master in the world.

Id love to see more collaborative bases in the future of hermitcraft, imagine what a few hermits working together could due I think impulse n gem got close to perfect unity last season

I remember when Tango helped Impulse make a hero of the village farm and kept saying how pointless it was . . . Now Tango spent a week making his own!

I laughed harder at "Chicken harder!" than I should have XD

I love the concept of the Hero of the Village farm! You can also use it for clay or wool, depending on which villager you put in there. Brilliant!

Thanks for showing a lot of the process of building / debugging this redstone farm. So many others are just glossing over their farm builds in favor of regular building.

Super duper LOVED watching the farm design especially the whole process of try fail Tango-noises fix try again.

On a server I used to play on, I actually would use hero of the village because in the "town" section only passive mobs would be allowed. Basically peaceful mode in said part of the server, but you could teleport to another world which was basically the wild, and has the nether, end etc. So because you couldn't zombify the villagers and convert them there was no way to decrease their prices. I then realized hero of the village might work, went to the wild made a simple raid farm area to get hero of the village one at a time, travel back to "town" and my villagers would start tossing items and decrease their prices. It worked well enough, except yeah there was a cool down after the first 30 seconds, so I would only get 1-2 drops a day, and there was no way to travel to the neither in "town" but I guess I could have done it in the wild but that would have involved more steps. I did however realize that I could leave said server and join one of the other servers and do stuff while waiting for the day to pass (if I couldn't sleep and pass the day which most of the time you couldn't because no one else would sleep) and come back for a min. to receive more gifts and my hero of the village timer didn't go down while I was away. Thus making it seem like I logged off the server while the day continued to pass in the server. The gift's weren't much and thus only used it to get decreased prices to buy stuff but I still set up a decent villager trader design that was also hero of the village compatible with a hopper minecart going around underneath picking up items. Pretty sure I was one of the only ones who was doing it since no one else would bother with hero of the village. Also side note, because said server was set to normal difficulty in the wild, a player I knew wanted to try and convert some villagers and get decreased prices. I helped them make a giant covered area with lots of villagers in minecarts and let zombies loose to convert some, while most died. They were able to get a handful of converted villagers. A big pain vs hard mode which is 100% conversion rate.

You should probably make the timer for the portal slightly shorter. At the moment you're starting your portal animation after the villagers throw their items. It would make more sense if they threw their items just before you actually teleported.

This is an amazing HotV farm. What would be really neat is "banks" of villagers for different items. I.e. press a button and the 200 clerics drop down a chute and along a water stream into lazy chunks so no lag (lazy while using the farm, you'll have to load them for water streams/minecarts to move villagers), then another 200 villagers (fletchers, masons, etc) got fetched from lazy chunks by water stream and loaded into the loot chamber. Then the redstone/lapis farm could be a clay/arrow/leather/wool farm on demand.

Thank you for sharing the creative process, warts and all!

Boat chicken is kinda like the mascot of this farm, so he DEFINITELY needs a name!

This villager-gift-farm concept definitly has been built on some tech-servers before, but I never heard people using the nether to reset their cooldown. Great engineering!

Saltwater gargles are nasty as hell, but they're GREAT at reducing irritation and swelling. It sounds like you have been, but make sure to get plenty of vocal rest too!!!

"It's the greatest redstone master in the world." - Baby slimes 😆

mojang: increases redstone drops from witch farms tango: *don’t bother.*

Tango, your redstone genius never ceases to amaze me

I think Ilmango and the SciCraft guys had made a Hero of the Village based redstone farm back in the day.

i know this has been said a million times, but redstone really does feel like magic to me. and then i don't mean the programming circuitry parts, i mean everything else you stick in there to make it work. vines to ward off entity cramming. sea pickles to get the spacing exactly right. it honestly looks like the ingredients to some sort of arcane ritual, and i love it.

We really need a resource pack that turns villagers into Minions, for all of these cartoonish moments when they fall off cliffs and make farms problematic XD

the amount of effort on this video, you are trully the greatest redstone genious! well deserved resource pack for all the villager AI juggling

as someone who really appreciates villagers, i love this farm! it's nerdy, it's cool, you can get all different items with it. very nice

Incredible farm Tango, I can see how much work it took and it is astonishing. Great job, truly. Also looking forward to seeing the base built up!

black glass with dark grey glass would look great in the hall so you can look down and see the guts of the machine

3:27 "Dare I speak to... Back-Facing Postal Mule?" "Sure, but you know what that meeeaaans~ _Every single butt dance, all of them at once!"_ *_boing_* "My horror! The eyes!"

Tango gonna Tango and invent another absurdly amazing farm.

Thank you for showing us the behind the redstone. It was very interesting to see how it all works from the failures to the final finish work farm. The feeling of getting a redstone machine to work even in my case a very simple one, is still such a great feeling. Would love to see Etho’s reaction to your farm. Great work Tango.

Witch farms just got a buff for redstone

Tango: I am proud of you for inventing a way to keep raid farms 'relevant' in 1.21 update. But: Witches may be even better than ever before, maybe find some cool new farm for them too?

a very creative idea and well executed! using pickles was just so smart

It's so interesting watching tango design farms. The mechanics are fun and tango makes it easy to understand! Such a cool idea!

The way the video starts with the slimes is really funny after the rest of the video.

Tango your voice doesn't sound bad at all, sounds pretty normal to me o7

love your transparency Tango, I respect you

Tango. You are killing it again. Ground breaking farm. Just when you thought there wasn’t another farm left invented. BOOM. tango swoopipty in.

Free cam is not cheaty cam. It's only cheaty if you use it to find locations/resources without expending the effort to do so.

Woo! Tango Vid! Just when my brain needed a happy place to escape to! thank you!

This video was AWESOME! Watching the process of designing and building farms is one of my favorite parts of Hermitcraft, and here's a whole half-hour of just that. Loved the new details for the base!

I see complex builds like this and I'm like "...I made toast this morning..." Lol

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon, don't stress your voice too much :)

That's a super cool farm. I've seen a few Hero of the Village farms before, but I think this is the first I've seen to get rates like what you have. If you end up making a witch farm later in the season, you could change all the villagers in this to fletchers to make a tipped arrow farm, which could be really cool for a mini game.

12:36 LOL come one! we need a tango plushie that says stuff when you press the button. I love seeing the process of getting a button to work.

That intro clip was the greatest clip in the world lol
