How to Build and Use a Flying Machine Elevator in Minecraft: A Comprehensive Guide
If you’re a Minecraft gamer looking to add a cool transportation system to your builds, look no further than the flying machine elevator. In this article, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of building a functional flying machine elevator and how to use it.
Materials Needed
Before we begin building, let’s go over the required materials you’ll need:
- Redstone Dust
- Redstone Block
- Pistons
- Slime blocks
- Any solid block (e.g. stone, wood)
- Observers
- Anything you want for your elevator (e.g. minecart, boat)
Building the Flying Machine Elevator
-
Decide on the height and number of floors for your elevator – the elevator can go as high as 12 blocks, and you can have as many floors as you like, as long as they are all even.
-
Build two columns of blocks that are the same height as your desired elevator. These will be the supporting pillars for your elevator. Leave 2-3 spaces in between the columns for the elevator’s movement.
-
Floor the area between the columns with any solid block of your choosing.
-
On both of the columns, place a piston and an observer facing outwards.
-
Add a slime block to each of the pistons. Then, behind the observers, place two more blocks vertically.
-
Place a redstone block on the bottom of the vertical blocks on both columns.
-
Connect the observers with one another with redstone dust.
-
Add any item you want to transport into the next to last space from the bottom on one of the columns with a hopper.
-
Add a lever to one of the columns at the bottom. This will stand in for an off switch.
-
Turn the lever on, and your elevator should begin to move.
Using the Flying Machine Elevator
Now that your flying machine elevator is built, let’s learn how to use it.
-
Stand on the slime block opposite the column with a hopper.
-
Turn the lever on.
-
You will be transported on the block until it reaches the top.
-
When the elevator reaches the top, the slime block will detach from the rest of the elevator.
-
You arrive at the top of the elevator at the end of your journey.
FAQ
Q: Can the flying machine elevator transport multiple players at once?
Yes! As long as everyone on the elevator is standing on a different slime block.
Q: Can I add more floors to my elevator after it’s built?
Yes! Simply add the additional necessary materials to the existing elevator build.
Q: Can the flying machine elevator be used to transport animals and creatures?
Yes! As long as the creature is small enough to fit inside a boat or in a minecart, then it is possible to transport it using the flying machine elevator.
Q: Can I make the elevator go faster?
No, the elevator’s speed is fixed, and there’s no way to increase or decrease it.
