Summary
Redstone is a tool thatMinecraftplayers have used to achieve some genius creations over the years, and one fan of the game shares a helpful and easy-to-build elevator design to aid those who need to add a vertical entity transport system to their builds. While such a mechanic might seem scarcely required, theMinecraftcommunity has already suggested several examples of how such a technology could come in handy for their projects.
Minecraftis renowned for the limitless possibilities that it allows for, with players able to build absolutely anything they can imagine and unleash their creativity across infinite, procedurally generated worlds without restriction. When it comes to redstone though, knowledgeable players are able to create some truly mind-blowing things. From giant in-game screens complete with virtual pixels to fully-functional computers inside of a computer game,Minecraftplayers have put redstone to usein countless incredible projects over the years. It allows players to manipulate their worlds in a way that no other material in the game can accomplish, and is a resource that players are still discovering new applications for to this day.

Not everyredstone project inMinecrafthas to be on such a spectacular scale though, with more simple contraptions such as doorways and automatic crop farms being far more commonplace in players' worlds. With simplicity in mind, one talented redstone engineer known on Reddit as Wibiz9000 has designed an awesome redstone-powered elevator that leverages water and boat physics to provide a quick and effective way of transporting entities across a vertical distance quickly. The contraption works simply by deploying water source blocks over a soul sand block, which creates a bubble column that itself pushes a boat up a fixed elevator shaft. Replicating the build may require a decent understanding of the redstone mechanics employed, but between the demonstration video and the build schematics shared by the creator, players should have little trouble bringing the contraption to their own worlds.
It’s important to note that the build was put together in Java Edition, and while there is a long list ofdifferences inMinecraft’s Bedrock Edition, it nonetheless seems possible that a similar elevator design could be made possible in the Bedrock version too. Some members of theMinecraftcommunity have been intrigued by the design, and while it provides an easy way of transporting players, many have pointed out that it could be even more useful in transporting mobs in certain farm designs.
Redstone continues to receive new features asMinecraftenjoys further content updates, with last year’s Wild Update introducing a means of wirelessly transmitting redstone signals for the first time ever. Continuing updates forMinecraftkeep on adding even more possibilities for fans to experiment with, laying the foundation for further creative projects such as this one.
Minecraftis available on mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and most legacy platforms.
