Tutorials/Item transportation

Item transportation is the automatic movement of items from one location to another. Item transportation is used frequently in combination with storage systems and item sorters.

Vertical transportation
When items are transported upwards, the mechanism is usually called an item elevator. These can be useful when it is necessary to move items from underground. Items can either be transported with containers, such as droppers, or in item form, such as through water.

The following design is a simple dropper elevator, and will work in all versions back to 1.5, when it was introduced.

Block elevator
This showcase is of a design that uses a dropper to fire items into a 3&times;3 glass pillar to send items upwards with the updates made to entity behavior in 1.11. The fast clock used in this item elevator also works well with observer blocks for a very fast and silent dropper elevator.
