HUGE UPDATE: The entire system has been overhauled. rather than using a confusing tag-logic system, the elevators now use a much simpler scoreboard-based system for their logic.


========================================================================================

This is a simple, but very useful data pack that 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 2 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!

WARNING: multiplayer functionality is untested, but should work now with the new overhaul. Please report any issues if there are any still!

in-depth Features include:

  • Simple to build: only requires 1 block of white wool and 1 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. :)
  • Bonus feature: Cave air, Normal air, and even Void air can be found in execute commands using the new block tag, #air. This is used for the elevators, but can be used for anything you want if you are experienced enough!
  • 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, for example.
  • Conflict-free: the commands are designed to allow the game to function normally without intrusion. While the elevators use levitation and slow falling to work; the effects will not be interfered with for non-elevator situations. for example, getting hit by a shulker will still work as expected, even when elevators are present in the world.

Update 2.0.0 : by Fennecai 09/15/2021 7:00:45 pmSep 15th, 2021

* completely rewritten - elevators now use the scoreboard instead of a confusing tag-logic system. as a result, the elevators should now be bug-free, however, it is as-of-yet untested in multiplayer (as of this writing. it probably works though.)

* no more tags: players no longer will be tagged with elevator_* tags

* despite the overhaul, elevators still function in the exact same way. There is no need to modify pre-existing elevator designs.

* There is no longer a sophisticated anti-mistake system. the old system caused a lot of issues, so now, the player will die if they use an elevator to go to space.

* the scoreboard system now allows for potential future expansion. faster elevators? sideways elevators? maybe. we'll see.

I just added this pack to my Paper 1.14.4 server and when I went to use my mineshaft elevator, the server thought I froze in the middle of the shaft. When I disconnected almost a 100 blocks away from my mineshaft, I respawned in the middle of the shaft. I would've loved to use this, but it's just too buggy.

I know your comment is years old now, but I just reworked the whole data pack, so it may be worth trying this again.
