How to create an elevator in Minecraft

20-Jan-2023

Redstone is one the most important items in Minecraft. Redstone can power many things. Redstone devices such as tripwire hooks, pistons, and observers can be great assets.

Although a block-based building game shouldn't be capable of producing working devices, redstone's power can. The piston elevator is an excellent example of this and one of the most practical. Here are the steps to build one.

Piston Elevators for Minecraft

Piston elevators come in many sizes and shapes. There are a few things that they always need. You will need sticky pistons, slime blocks and a redstone trigger. These are some of the ways to activate the redstone pulse.

Although elevators can be elaborately made, there are simple ways to make one. When a piston propels a slime block, it will lift six blocks into the air.

To ensure that players reach the top of the elevator, they must build the shaft five blocks higher than the slime block. This will make it easier for them to reach the top of the elevator.

Because a regular piston won't push the block up, a sticky piston is essential. Players can reuse the elevator multiple times by using the former piston.

Minecraft players will find a small tunnel made of two blocks at the top. This is the exit to the elevator.

The most realistic way to trigger the piston is with a lever or button. Place one on the block next to the sticky piston and it will trigger the button or lever.

Players should move forward when using the elevator so they can reach the exit. You can add a sticky piston or slime block to make it more complicated.

Minecraft gamers can use an observer or tripwire hook to get the player moving forward. They can also set it up so that they can exit the elevator once they reach the right level.

To add an extra touch, players can create an elevator door that automatically opens. If necessary, they can make the elevator wider or connect multiple sticky pistons with redstone dust to the button.
