Making a MORE REALISTIC ELEVATOR in Minecraft!

People seem to really like realistic elevators in minecraft myself included i personally think they’re awesome but every single realistic elevator that i’ve created in the past has always been a tiny bit ugly on the inside just because you have to use removable objects and they don’t tend to be particularly very pretty

But i think today i’ve come up with a way in which i can build a realistic elevator without it having the immovable objects involved and i’m going to try my best to construct it in today’s redstone video fingers crossed this goes well okay so first things first we are going to need

Some form of flying machine which that is going to do it for that section and then i guess this will do it for that section okay so this is a this is a good start and then we do this and then i was thinking that we do something along these lines

Yeah so that is one corner now if i do the maths here that is i mean how many blocks is that pushing so that’s pushing 8 10 12. okay we’ve gotten very lucky there we can actually save one of the slime blocks by potentially putting the observer there that also slims things

Down a little bit okay so this is the first little part of our chamber then we just need to do the back wall which is also going to be controlled by a flying machine in theory this is all of the flying machines in place to create our moving little chamber in here

This should all move as one should it should all move as one i mean you never know with redstone this is just a kind of wild concept i’m really really hoping works because otherwise i’ll be so upset but at this current point in time i see no reason why it

Shouldn’t so the idea is is that all well these three these three flying machines will all be activated at the same time and these two flying machines will be acted activated maybe slightly earlier so that these blocks just move up one tick before these blocks move up

I haven’t even checked the block pushing i i don’t even know how many blocks all of these are pushing i haven’t even checked the block limits i’m just going to start wiring up i’m going to hope for the best backups have been made so hopefully we can test this thing out

Without it destroying itself too badly so if we just remove all of these all of the obsidian has now been taken out of the equation and what we’re hoping for here is everything moving properly here goes right okay it’s not perfect we can safely say definitely not perfect in its current

State but it’s promising weirdly i actually think the delay being too short was the problem there because it didn’t allow the flying machines to take off No it seems unlikely this is weird this is weird it’s weird i don’t know let’s just give it a go three ticks maybe i don’t really get it what if i increase the delay even more oh that’s actually closer to it there’s lots wrong with it but there’s also

There’s quite a lot that’s right with it plenty wrong with it though a lot i wouldn’t feel very safe being in that elevator but we’re getting some somewhere i think right i’ve finally sort of got something i wish that we didn’t have that opening and closing action going on though but i i

Unfortunately i don’t know if there’s anything that i can do about it which is really really disappointing so as usual with this sort of thing i have gone back to the drawing board and i have reduced the complexity just a tiny bit now we have lost some depth in our little

Carriage so it is now only going to be one block deep but there should be significantly less flying machine action going on and most importantly there aren’t these two flying machines so these two flying machines here they’re what we’re hitting into one another and now they are unified

So in think well there’s no way that they could fight each other because it’s all one thing here goes the incredibly important test once again backups have been made yes that’s exactly what we wanted to happen oh my word that thing is so compact well that is about 90 of the circuitry done

I’m not a word so all of this can go die in a hole and now with this much much better design actually functioning on the way up i think it’s time to send it back down and this this little system right here should do the trick

And that will make its way back down to the bottom and then in theory it should stop nicely on that obsidian and that is it fully reset so now if we hit this button that will send it back up to the top where it will stop so there is

Our send and receive system this this is now essentially an elevator and it is it’s simpler than i ever imagined so i’ve done a little bit of decorating just to make this thing a tiny bit prettier you can see that we have got the glass out the front

We’ve got the quartz pillars and then because you know we’re extremely wealthy we’re using white shulker boxes all the way up now these are the only removable objects that we need because these are the only blocks to the brushing plast the slime blocks that’s why we can use

The glass on the front which i personally think looks really really cool and reminds me of a real elevator now as we move on to the details i was expecting a little bit of added complexity for the doors because of course we don’t want the doors to be

Open when the elevator actually isn’t there but i don’t know what i’ve eaten today but i’ve come up with another smart solution for this and that is to have little chests down at the bottom right here which are just sending redstone signal through the slime block so as soon as

This thing moves off obviously the doors will close up because there is no longer a block to pass the redstone signal through i must have eaten a smart pill this morning wait before i blow my own trumpet too hard i should probably check that this thing does actually function

And would you look at the hat like clockwork oh my word and up at the top here it looks like it’s going to be even easier because all i have to do is well essentially run the redstone directly into the sticky pistons oh actually no it’s not going to be even easier

Because i have really very little space to work with thankfully though my brain is once again kicked into action and it has come up with a solution to the problem so instead of using a comparator and other bits and pieces like that on this one we can actually get away with

Using direct redstone current which gives us a few more options for redirecting the redstone signal so here we have redstone dust on top of a hopper which is an immovable and also transparent object because we don’t want it to be powering these pistons then we run the redstone out across onto a block

Redstone torch and that unpowers these pistons and apparently makes it rain we’re just going to completely ignore that while i test this because it broke why did it break these two slabs right here how could i not have noticed those anyway if we hit the button

That is a little bit more like it doors have closed and the rest of my elevator returns back down to the bottom and doors open oh my god that that felt good in my chest so i guess now all we have to do is descending and receiving circuitry so

What we think in here we think in pressure plates yeah i personally think pressure plates will be the cleanest option unfortunately there aren’t really any elegant ways to do the the ask and receive circuits i guess you could say because you know you have to send redstone signals from the bottom of

The elevator up to the top of the elevator just in case the elevator is at the top of the elevator while you’re down at the bottom of the elevator but i i think i think i’ve done them i think that should do it man it doesn’t look anywhere near as

Clean though but it’s still so so simple i mean look there’s barely anything going on here redstone wise in my testing i did discover a slight issue with using pressure plates and that is the fact that as you leave the elevator obviously it sends it back off so i’ve

Sort them out for buttons and now it should all be working so there’s a little bit of delay in built but you can see here goes our little elevator car we can walk around in this thing just fine we get a nice view there’s no ugliness

Going on and when we get down to the bottom everything opens up and that feels like a legitimate elevator is that not one of the coolest things i need one of these on the hermitcraft server right now like seriously now i need to build one now

I love it this is one of my favorite redstone contraptions i’ve ever created seriously it’s one of my favorites i absolutely love this thing well there we go ladies and gentlemen i i hope that you enjoyed this little redstone video it’s been a lot of fun to

Create of course there will be a world download down in the description if you do want to check this thing out for yourselves and perhaps build it for yourselves build it for yourselves this thing is it’s top notch anyway i hope that you enjoyed it if you did please
