Fourth in the STRUCTURE OF THE WEEK series:
This week's structure is a bit different: instead of belonging to a specific biome, it's a functional redstone-based build.
It's based on the chicken farm in my vanilla survival world (demo on YouTube), but expanded to include vertical conveyers that automatically fill the 4 dispensers with eggs from the collection chest underneath the farm.
Structure dimensions are 16 x 11 x 18, with a y-offset of -2. Be sure to include entities when loading the structure!
HOW IT WORKS:
When the chickens in the fenced-in farm area lay eggs, the water washes them down into the two hoppers in the center, which fill the large chest in the enclosed lower level of the structure. The hoppers under that chest connect to two droppers: one on each side, which are adjacent to sculk sensors that get activated by the vibrations from the chickens moving around on the upper level. When the sculk sensors activate, they trigger the droppers to release an egg, and also the adjoining dispensers to dispense a bucket of water to wash the egg towards the outer walls of the structure. (The next activation of the sculk sensor retracts the water bucket.)
From there, the eggs fall into a third set of hoppers, which connect to two more droppers (one on each side), which drop the eggs into the ascending bubble columns on either side of the farm. The eggs are launched up out of the top of the bubble columns, and when they fall they randomly get washed in either direction (splitting the two channels into 4), diverting some into each of the 4 dispensers.
Like in the smaller version, the dispensers are each facing, and adjacent to, a target block. Press the button attached to a dispenser, and it will cause it to shoot an egg at the next dispenser's target, activating each dispenser sequentially in a loop until the one with the fewest eggs inside runs out. The baby chickens which randomly hatch upon egg impact will fall down into the fenced-in area of the farm's upper level, and when they grow up, will start laying more eggs.
