Tutorials/Water elevator

Water elevators are a quick and easy way to go up or down in a vertical manner.

In comparison to the Water Ladder, the Water Elevator is less efficient. In terms of space the Water Elevator uses more, yet can look nicer at times. The Water Elevator uses many more blocks than a Water Ladder.

Building A Water Elevator
A Water Elevator requires Water Bucket and any blocks that are not affected by gravity. To operate a Water Elevator efficiently a Boat is required.

Build a 4 X 8 outline on the ground where you want the bottom of the Water Elevator to go.

'''Afterwards build up from the frame, making sure to leave a door. do not fill in the inside (leave it hollow). Build this as high as you need to go'''

At the top make a 4 by 4 grid, filling it in as seen in the picture (Just below the 4 by 4 grid)

'''Place Water at the back part of this grid, then delete the blocks directly beneath the source. Once the water flows to the bottom delete all the blocks except the ones present at the back of the source blocks, these are needed to stop the boat from falling off. Once done place two blocks at the bottom of the other side of the elevator.'''

'''Place water on the prementioned blocks. A dip as seen in this picture should be formed. Place your Boat in the dip and it should loop round the structure, even when you are in it. IF the structure is tall it is possible for it to run multiple Boat's safely'''
