Seasonal Seasonal shulker farm cooperative project

Seasoned
So as we discussed elsewhere, we want to set up a shulker farm on seasonal. Since I don't want to do this by myself again, I am looking for help. Starting out, materials.
We need the following:

I am not playing on seasonal, really, so I have practically nothing of this.
I am willing to lead the build if you all pitch in for the resources. Anyone that helps out will get free shulker shells for life then. I guess.

I have set up 3 double chests for you to place donations in the Giving Geode at spawn (in the ravine). Let me know when you place resources there, then I can check them off on the list!
(As for the materials needed, technically we could use other blocks than the specific glass panes listed, but then the schematics get screwed up, so its best to stick to what we have)
Construction will begin when all resources are acquired.

@TiggerBlueMom feel free to start a social event for collecting these resources? Maybe an end pillar mining competition? :D

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks so much for this. Will keep track of what is donated and let you know when all gathered.

Have all the glass we need, but need black dye!

Awesome, thanks you two!
I might hop on later today and get some resources collected as well.
I will also share my schematics for anyone that knows litematica well and wants to help building.
 
Have updated the list above after adding:

-hopper 20
-observer 12
-repeater 4
-cactus 3
-dispenser 3
-activator rail 3
-chest 2
-iron trapdoor 2
-note block 2
-redstone lamp 1
-target block 1
-torch 10
-detector rail 1
-minecart 2
 
Also added:

-smooth stone slabs 12 stacks
-stone brick stairs 5
-sticky piston 4
-enchanted elytra
-rockets 10 stacks
 
Updated the list with two more things I forgot to add - snow blocks and pumpkins for the snow golems.
Also upped the number of minecarts we need for the initial shulker(s)
 
Made a separate chest for transportation items:

Slime Block - Need
Honey Blocks - Need
Rails - have 8 stacks - done
Slabs - have 8 stacks - done
Powered rail - have 42, need 8
Building Blocks - have 9 stacks - done
Levers - have 64 - done
Sticky pistons - need 2
Observers - need 2
Elytra - done
Armor - need
Food - 4 stacks baked potatoes - done
Rockets - have 10 stacks - done
Scaffolding - have 4 stacks - done
 
You two are awesome!
I didnt expect this to go that fast. Looks like I will start building soon.

I will share the schematics and the details on where to place it after I log on and we decide on a location.
 
So after scouting around, the best areas to build this farm is somewhere in the region -600, -600 to -1000, -1000 or near the world border on either cardinal direction. The first would require us to collect even more rails (and powered rails, between 1200 and 2000 depending on the exact location, as well as another stack of powered rails)
The second would make use of flying machines, which might be a huge pain, so I prefer the first.

This means we are looking for more rails (I added a bunch myself, we should be around 1/3rd the way there.)
Sadly, I cant really re-use the rails used in the transportation step easily, since that would require me to get close to the shulker in mid-transit to start/stop it. Also, if something goes wrong, we would have to start over entirely.
This large amount of rails is not permanently used up, as soon as the farm is running, they can be retrieved.

Thanks everyone for your help!
 
Possibly build in stop/start stations that can be powered from a distance? Then once shulker stops mid travel, rails can be taken up, re positioned and shulker cart started on next leg?
 
That's possible, sure, but not really any less work, and you have to restart over completely if something goes wrong.
