Seasonal Seasonal shulker farm cooperative project

Awesome. The only things I can see are missing are the honey blocks (or were those missed, I haven't been on since yesterday) and the powdered snow bucket.
Then we should (theoretically) be able to start working! I will fix down a position later tonight then.
One decision we need to make is if we want to rely on people to not mess up the farm by flying too close to in on top of the nether ceiling or if we want to go the extra mile and build a huge box around it...

Either works, one is significantly less work :p

We are building it quite a ways away from spawn in order to avoid problems like those, but its never 100% guaranteed nobody will fly too close, which then triggers the shulkers that remain in the farm to become aggressive and off themselves (and one another) - this happened to me on perm, accidentally. Out of my 20 spare shulkers, only 2 survived the carnage. I was lucky.
 
So is the farm being made on top of the nether no matter what? If so, at least marking out a no fly area should not be too hard and could use readily available netherrack. If not on top f the nether, probably more glass would be best to use. I would be willing to work on this part on top of the nether or other wise.
 
Yeah the nether part is on top of the ceiling one way or another.
Building a large box around it should be feasible. Since you need to keep at least 24 blocks away from the farm, that's a LOT of glass tho (unless you just want to outline it)

Building a large DONT FLY HERE in the area should also do the trick x)

Also, I have decided on a location for the farm:
-650 -650 in the overworld.
There is nether access using goldman_dk's tunnel from the hub (northwest corner).

If you want to help with construction and know litematica well, then download the schematics below, unzip them to the .minecraft/schematics folder and create the respective placements at:

Overworld:
-659, 144, -659

Nether:
-92, 127, -90

MAKE SURE TO LOCK THE PLACEMENTS TO AVOID MISTAKES!

If you arent a technical minecrafter and/or you don't know litematica well, do not fret, there's other ways to help! For one, we need to build a railway from spawn (the actual world spawn block, I need to figure out exactly where that is) all the way to the farm.

More updates to come. Any questions? Please ask ^.^

Instant update: I have moved all the resources to the build location and started construction of the nether and overworld side, going upwards, layer by layer.
If you want to help, but the redstone stuff is too daunting (its non-trivial), stick with the glass walls, the portals and the buttons :D

Made an outline of netherrack, let me know if big enough. My idea it to make pillars of netherrack with gaps of two blocks between them. Pillars would be 96 blocks high with a slab on top of each one to prevent spawns. Would just like to borrow some wings to glide back down from the top with :)
 
lol I can imagine tigger being stuck on the top of a large pillar she built... uhm
I have one elytra, but maybe we can just build some ladders to the top to get you down - else i'd be stuck at the top x)

Also, please make sure to spawn proof everything - and note that many nether mobs can spawn at any light level, so buttons on every block are required.
Near the farm, we will have to button up the inside of the no-fly-zone as well, or build it from blocks shulkers cant attach to, such as cobblestone wall.

I'l help with the rail line. Since it is going to be temp, should we build it up just a bit and minimally? That way it will be easier and easy to take down. Give me the starting points and any special considerations.
 
yeah itll be super basic - a single row of blocks in the sky, ill give you the exact coords and build the start/end stations later today.
 
I have scaffolding as a backup way down, but wings would be much faster.

So the sides of the pillars will have to have buttons? If so, is there a distance away where they would not need buttons?

Click to expand...
Amaris already got started (and halfway finished) a huge stone brick wall cube around the entire farm. I suggest we just finish that up, no need for buttons in that case.

So I got started building the rail and stations for the initial shulker to take.
We need to bridge the gap from spawn (where the station is) all the way to the farm at -648 194 -648.
Anyone that wants to can help here, its a very simple building protocol - just a single block (netherrack is nice and easy to get rid of later) with a rail on top. Every 35-ish blocks, you put a powered rail with a lever on the side of the block (don't forget to power it)
The start I have made goes north (negative Z direction), so just continue that until you reach Z=-648, then do a left turn and go straight all the way to the farm.

If nobody else wants to do it, ill finish it up next week. I might be pretty busy over the weekend, so probably wont be playing much until Sunday.


The last thing is the no-fly-zone that Amaris, Tigger and me have been working on - a giant cube of stone walls around the nether side of the base, preventing curious travellers to get too close to the farm and breaking it. If you want to help there, there's still plenty of walls (and roof) to be placed.
 
You can also just pillar up (theres some scaffolding in the chests in the giving geode)
But its fine, we'll get it done.
