This is a highly efficient automatic sheep shearing farm designed for minimal player intervention. Once constructed, it handles all the shearing automatically. Your primary role is to collect the wool from the storage barrels and periodically replenish the dispensers with shears.
The design prioritizes compactness, making it suitable for various locations. While decorative blocks like colored glass and wool can be swapped for any material, ensure grass blocks have a transparent block above them to maintain grass spread. Remember to place at least one shear in each dispenser to start the process.
This build incorporates a unique collection system using a hopper minecart strategically placed beneath the sheep’s standing block. This requires an additional 16 hoppers and 16 minecarts beyond the main build components. Specific assembly instructions, including a guide for positioning the hopper minecart, are available via a linked video.

What to bring first
Survival or creative?
Every block in this build can be obtained in survival, so it can be built by hand without creative mode or commands. You will need Silk Touch for Grass Block.
How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Dispenser, Hopper, Observer, Redstone Wire, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
