TowerElevator

TowerElevator

Stack the same block in a vertical line and you have an elevator. No redstone, no commands, no region setup. Stand on a pad and jump.

Controls

Building a shaft

Place the same block (iron, gold or diamond by default) above each other with air in between. Gaps of up to 24 blocks are allowed, so every pad can be the floor of a room instead of a rung on a ladder.

Put a sign against a pad and its first line becomes that floor's name. The name shows up in the action bar on arrival and in the floor picker, so a tower reads like a real elevator panel: Lobby, Shops, Farms, Roof.

Safety

A floor with a ceiling directly above it is skipped, so nobody ends up inside a wall. Rides downwards do not cause fall damage. A cooldown keeps a held jump key from firing through five floors at once, and the two express rides are exempt from it so a quick double input always lands.

Commands

Aliases are /elevator and /te.

Configuration

config.yml covers the pad materials, whether one shaft has to use a single material, the maximum gap and floor count, each of the five controls, the double-sneak window, the cooldown, the unsafe-floor policy, fall damage, sign reading, sounds, particles, a world black- or whitelist, the picker's items and every message. Messages use MiniMessage, and an empty message is never sent, so any line can be turned off.

The commented file is in the repository: config.yml

Requirements
