How To Make an Elevator in Minecraft

If you are a Minecraft player, you will have realized that verticality is an important aspect within the world of this game and as you carry out your adventure you will be able to navigate up or down by making stairs or even stacking random blocks.

You should know that if you get the Elytra and manage to create a large number of fireworks, you will be able to overcome the verticality of the Minecraft world quite easily.

If you have not yet reached that point and want to expand the verticality in the game, you can use the water-powered elevators, a fairly fast and efficient solution in Minecraft.

Water elevators offer a convenient and visually appealing method for vertical transportation within your Minecraft world. This guide details the materials and steps required to create a functional water elevator.

1. Dig and Encase: Begin by excavating a 1x1 shaft to your desired elevator height. Utilize glass blocks to create a visually seamless enclosure around the shaft.

2. Water Column Creation: Employ the water bucket to introduce water at the top of the elevator shaft. The water will naturally flow downwards, filling the shaft.

3. Source Block Conversion: Kelp plays a crucial role in transforming flowing water into source blocks, essential for bubble column generation. Carefully plant kelp all the way up the water column, ensuring each water block becomes a source block.

4. Upward or Downward Flow: Here's where you determine the elevator's direction:

5. Access Point: Enhance user experience by incorporating a door (wood or iron) on a chosen level within the glass enclosure. This allows for effortless entry and exit.

Multiple Elevators: Construct two water elevators side-by-side for a more efficient system. Utilize Soul Sand for the upward flow elevator and Magma Block for the downward flow elevator. 

By following these steps and incorporating the suggested enhancements, you can construct a reliable and aesthetically pleasing water elevator in your Minecraft world.
