Tutorials/Elevators

Here are some ideas for some Elevators.

What is an Elevator?
An elevator is a type of vertical transport system that carries people and goods to certain floors in a structure. They are sometimes known as lifts.

Water Tube Elevator
Note: Do NOT attempt to ride this in Survival Mode because you will die. You have been warned.

Bricks are suitable for making this. You can also use glass to make it really cool!
 * 1) Build a base 4 blocks wide and 6 blocks tall.
 * 2) Start to build up to your 2nd Floor.
 * 3) If you haven' t done so, build 3 blocks up from the 2nd Floor. Then seal the top up.
 * 4) Smash out a hole on the 1st Floor 3 blocks high and 2 blocks wide. Do the same on the 2nd Floor
 * 5) Smash out the ceiling and put water in all the corners.

To ride it, go inside the elevator and hold down for the whole journey. Once on the 2nd Floor, press to exit.

Dynamic Elevators
There is a mod made by Ironclad49er in which adds three new blocks: Elevator Blocks, Elevator Call Buttons and Readstone Elevator Callers.
