Last updated
Ever wondered how to zip up and down your massive Minecraft builds without the legwork? Well, you’re in the right place to discover how to make an elevator in the blocky world of Minecraft!
Creating an elevator might sound like wizardry, but it’s a neat trick to master in Minecraft. Let’s dive into crafting your very own vertical transport!
The Short Answer to Building an Elevator
Building an elevator in Minecraft involves using blocks, water, and a few redstone components depending on the type. There are simple water elevators that just need a column of water blocks and a door or signs to create air pockets. More advanced elevators use a combination of pistons, redstone, and observers to move players up or down.
To start simple, a water elevator is your best bet. You’ll need to place water source blocks in a vertical column and strategically place doors or signs to create air pockets that prevent drowning. Players can quickly move upwards by swimming or using a boat. For a downward trip, the same setup minus the air pockets does the trick, ensuring a fast drop without fall damage.
