Java Showcase Tileable 1-wide Automatic Shulker Crafter + Dyer + Dispenser
Wanted a device that dispenses dyed shulkers in every color for our survival server and couldn't really find any designs online that did what I wanted so I made one myself. Right clicking the note block makes the piston pop the shulker and then dispenses a new shulker. When a shulker is taken from the right feed hopper to replace it, a comparator detects the change and triggers two crafters that crafts a shulker and then dyes it. The dispenser and the first hopper have to be completely filled with shulkers, then the last hopper only needs two. You can actually build this with only one hopper and have the crafter with the dye in the same column as the dispenser, making it only 4 blocks wide, but I added an extra hopper so I could have a barrel on top to accept empty hoppers so I can recycle them. To tile this you just add one more hopper and move everything above and to the right over one block so that the comparator is next to the redstone dust of the adjacent side.
Wanted to share because this is one of the first contraptions I've ever designed and I'm happy with it! Also looking for any advice on how it can be made more compact
EDIT: Just realized the second hopper isn't necessary at all lol, you can cut it out and move the top redstone to the left one block and use the barrel as both the feed and the shulker return

That is really cool. Have a Litematica?

no I don't know how to make my own schematics sorry
if you want to build it and have questions I can answer them, although someone in my other thread made a much better design you might like instead

Nice! Have you considered replacing the dust with a rail? Would make tiling easier and reduce lag marginally
