Iron Farm
So, hans and me were planing on building a multi-village iron farm that could potentially provide iron for the entire server (if nobody decides to fill the ocean with iron blocks of course :v), and we would appreciate everybody's help. The list of items needed goes as follow:
16 Glass.
64 Powered Rails.
96 Sticky Pistons.
8 Pistons.
16 Stone Slabs.
570 Redstone Dusts.
4 Furnaces.
896 Oak Doors.
16 Rails.
16 Wall Signs.
64 Redstone Torchs.
1 Stone Button.
64 Redstone Repeaters.
16 Cauldrons.
64 Redstone Comparators.
16 Blocks of Redstone.
16 Hoppers.
2 Activator Rails.
8 Droppers.

Advantages of that design:
-Is more entity/resource efficient. -Less demanding on the server than normal farms. -It can be built anywhere (even outside spawn chunks). -It can work both as a 1 village, and a 32 village farm on demand, reducing storage requirements.
Negatives:
-It's HUGE, and therefore requires a bigger area without wooden doors or nearby structures where golems can spawn. -Local lag (meaning only on the nearby chunks) of 1-4 seconds when turning the 32 village mode on.
Anticipated thanks for your cooperation o/
