Elevators

This simple yet very useful data pack allows anyone to easily make elevators in vanilla Minecraft.

Setup is simple:

For elevators that go UP; place a block of white wool and a tripwire on top of that wool. Stand on the tripwire and up you go.

For elevators that go DOWN; place a block of wool exactly two blocks above a hole you wish to descend into, and place a tripwire string at floor level just above the hole. Step on the string, and you will be slowly lowered to the bottom of the hole.

Simple as that!

in-depth features include:

• Simple to build: only requires one block of white wool and one piece of string placed correctly. No complicated crafting!
• Position Lock: once in an elevator, you can't leave until you hit your head on the ceiling or land on the floor safely. This makes it easy to build elevator shafts without actually needing the elevator shaft itself. :)
  
• Easy to expand upon: the simple design makes creativity easy. For example, if you want to make multiple floors, you can make a Redstone mechanism that blocks the elevator shaft at the desired floor.
  
• Conflict-free: the commands allow the game to function normally without intrusion. While the elevators use levitation the gravity attribute and slow falling to work; the effects will not be interfered with by non-elevator situations. for example, getting hit by a shulker will still work as expected, even when elevators are present in the world. The only drawback is that using a long-enough upward elevator will unlock the same advancement as getting hit by multiple shulkers.
• as of update #5, the elevators work properly in multiplayer now.
