Briefly

The sand of souls under a column of water carries upward, Magma Block - down

Fastest of all - bubble elevator:: A mine of water springs and shower sand on the bottom lifts up to 14 blocks per second, and Magma Block on the bottom pulls down. Without water, a ladder or vine: 2.35 blocks per second up.

Which elevator to choose

ElevatorUpDownWhat you need
Bubble Column up to 14 blocks/s Up to 6 blocks/s (Magma Block) Soul sand or Magma Block, buckets of water
Ladder or vines 2.35 blocks/s 3 blocks/s, Shift - stand One ladder per height block
Scaffolding 2.35 block/s (jump) 3 blocks/s (Shift) Scaffolding - made of bamboo and thread

The bubbles have a speed ceiling: the column accelerates to 0.7 blocks per stroke up and down to 0.3, and how much of it actually comes out depends on the height of the mine. Bubbles drive both boats and lobes and fallen objects.

Lift on the sand of souls

Side view: soul sand at the bottom, above it is a column of water sources.
  1. Build a shaft one cell wide to the desired height: the walls are any block, glass is more convenient.
  2. Fill the mine with springs: a bucket on top, and then kelp from bottom to top and break the bottom (see below).
  3. Place soul sand at the bottom - bubbles will rise throughout the column in a second.
  4. Leave an exit at the top: the column throws you over the water, and at the edge it is convenient to exit sideways.

Magma Descent

Side view: Magma Block at the bottom pulling down.
  1. Mine and water - the same as at the lift.
  2. At the bottom is a block of Magma Block. While you are in the water, Magma Block does not burn: it only damages those who stand on it.
  3. At the bottom, make a side exit, otherwise the column will keep you at the very bottom.

How to Fill the Mine with Sources

Bubbles only rise when sources water - the column breaks off on the first current cell. The bucket on top produces a column of flowing water, and it takes a long time to fill each cell with the bucket. Faster Laminaria:

  1. Pour a bucket of water into the top of the shaft - the water will drain to the bottom.
  2. Place the kelp from bottom to top, one on top of the other, all the way to the top. You can put it in falling water: the game puts it in any full water.
  3. Break the lower kelp - the entire pillar will crumble, and in the place of each kelp there will be a source of water.
  4. Place soul sand or magma at the bottom - the column will rise by itself.

More details about how the column is structured can be found in mechanics "Pusive columns". While your head is in bubbles, the air does not run out - you cannot drown in such an elevator.

Ladder and vines

The stairwell is the cheapest elevator: one on a block of height, up 2.35 blocks per second, down three. Pull Shift, and the player hangs in place -- conveniently to put the blocks at a height. There are no drops from the stairs: the fall damage is on top of it.

They also climb on them:

The speed is calculated by the physics of the game: each stairwell has a vertical velocity of 0.2 blocks, and the gravity and resistance of the air leaves 2.35 blocks per second. The game doesn't go down faster than 3 blocks per second.

Scaffolding

Scaffolding They put a pole on each other right out of their hands. Up they go jumping up, down with Shift: In the forest, Shift doesn't keep it in place, but lowers it down. The speed is the same as at the stairs. Break down the bottom of the woods, spread the whole pole, and all the woods will fall with objects.

Frequently asked questions

How to make an elevator in Minecraft?

The fastest is a bladder: a mine in one cell filled with water springs, and the sand of the shower at the bottom. Bubbles pick up players, boats and mobs. There's a similar mine downstairs with a magma block at the bottom.

Why doesn't the bubble elevator work?

The bubbles only rise in water sources: the first current cell of the column ends. Fill the mine with springs — the simplest laminary from the bottom to the top, and then break down the lower one.

How fast does a ladder go up?

2.35 blocks per second up, 3 blocks per second down. With Shift, the player stays in place and doesn't move out. The vines and the building forests also work.
