Here's a neat 3-in-1 farm that can be made in early hardmode to harvest some powerful Ranger endgame items. The items to harvest are:
1) Crystal Shards (to make tons of crystal bullets, arguably the most powerful endgame bullets in Terraria)
2) Chlorophyte Ore (for Shroomite Armor and Chlorophyte Bullets)
3) Glowing Mushrooms (to make Shroomite Bars from Chlorophyte Bars and use them for Shroomite Armor)
Video of the farm in action (with a demonstration of how the crystal bullets fare in boss battles):
The farm:
The farm is constructed in the underworld to maximize the number of chlorophyte ore that can spawn - there are 11 mud wells that can yield up to 20 ore each. Interspersed among the mud wells are the mushroom surfaces to spawn glowing mushrooms, and above the wells are pearlstone blocks to spawn crystal shards. The farm has a little builder's nook on the far right to create chlorophyte bars and shroomite bars, and to create armor and bullets.
Mushroom + Crystal Shard Farming:
A lever is pulled once to actuate the blocks containing mushrooms or crystal shards, causing them to fall to the ground. Pulling the lever again causes those mushrooms or crystal shards to be hoiked to where the player stands, making collection simple and effective.
Yields (after 1-2 hours):
350-400 Mushrooms
140-160 Crystal Shards
Wiring:

Chlorophyte Farming:
2x10 "wells" filled with mud are spaced 38 blocks apart, and adjacent to the mud wells are 4 chlorophyte ores to cause the chlorophyte to spread into the mud. According to the wiki, only 24 chlorophyte ore can grow within a 38x38 space. The player mines up the chlorophyte once most or all of the mud is converted, and puts down new mud blocks to begin the conversion again.
Yield (after 1-2 hours):
~200 Chlorophyte Ore
