This is just a teaser of what is possible, no explanations into the workings of each farm as there is far too much to say.
Rest in the knowledge that each farm is fully automated and 100% lossless.
From bottom up sugar cane with waterlogged stairs then bamboo, next is the creeping vines and weeping vines, then the glowberries with the pointed dripstone above and the kelp is on the top.
All these farms use the same item distribution method of an observer clock to empty a dispenser. Each farm dispenses its products into the drop shute tube on the side of the build. The common factor is the use of Hopper minecarts to collect the drops and the all new waterlogged minecarts for the kelp farm.
Pointed Dripstone requires water on top of the Dripstone block in order for the pointed to grow, (according to minecraftwiki) and this is where the minecart track would be for the kelp farm so it is a wonderful fit that in 1.17 minecarts can travel underwater.
To keep this Kelp farm within the build footprint I needed to lower the block that the kelp would grow from. In order to do this I waterlogged trapdoors in the water on the otherside of the Pointed Dripstone farm. I then planted Kelp on the trapdoors.
Another challenge was to keep the same footprint while having 4 farms growing from the ground upwards, and 3 growing from top downwards.
My original challenge was to reduce the amount of hoppers used in the chunk, (we have a limit on Foxcraft survival 1.17). Each layer of this build uses 2 hoppers and 2 hopper minecarts and the kelp farm uses 1 each, (13 hoppers, 13 Hopper minecarts) The drop shute goes to a water stream that leads to where ever you want.
I feel happy that I was able to manipulate the design to suit many farm types and keep it 100% automatic, no user imput required.
Hope this helps, have fun out there.
