How to Build a Lift in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to spice up your towering Minecraft creations with a lift? Well, you’re in the right spot to find out!
Let’s get into how you can add a cool lift to your Minecraft builds, making them even more awesome.
Quick Answer to Building a Lift
Building a lift in Minecraft might seem tricky, but it’s totally doable! You’ll mainly use blocks, water, or Redstone depending on the type of lift you want.
For a simple water elevator, you’ll need soul sand, water, doors, and magma blocks. For a Redstone lift, gather Redstone, pistons, and blocks you want to use for your lift structure.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Lift Move
Let’s break down the water elevator, as it’s one of the most common lifts in Minecraft. Start by building a tall structure with a hollow center for your elevator shaft. At the bottom, place a magma block for going down and at the top place soul sand for going up. Fill the shaft with water, and voila, you have a working lift!
For a Redstone lift, the process is a bit more complex and involves creating a piston mechanism that can push you or a platform upwards. You’ll need a good understanding of Redstone circuits to make this work.
