  I decided I wanted to convert a Mushroom Island into a place where I can run farms and remain protected from attacks at night, as hostile mobs do not spawn in that biome, so I went about removing the mycelium from the ground and growing grass in its place. Originally a floating structure based on the old 'many doors village' style Iron Farm, which I updated to a modern villager workstation design. Early on it was just a hill with a crater, but then I built the volcano up around it, along with the forge room at it's base. Going with the forge theme, I built a kelp harvester and cooker out off the eastern shore.

It is a floating platform high above the ceiling in The Nether dimension, originally above a bedrock hole I built, but later completely moved north west by a few hundred blocks after the Nether update. Guardian Farm/Prismarine Factory. The largest facto...
