a HUGE gg to everyone involved!
I would never have done this again without your help, but this was as painless as it gets. Good preparation and friends to help does all the difference in the world.
To run the farm: simply go to the farm (overworld side), go up the bubble elevator, turn on the lever by the portal (DO NOT DOUBLE FLICK IT, BE VERY CAREFUL), then stay in the area (or on the nether side, either works) - chunk loading on paper is a bit fishy, so I wouldn't rely on it. You can get to the nether side by going through that portal next to the lever.
Also, please turn off the farm before the daily server restarts, I am worried they might break it.
The output chest is currently located on the underside of the no-fly-box in the nether. Maybe we will add some nicer storage to it
