I made a boat elevator for Minecraft Bedrock 1.20 (youtu.be)

I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

I'm so jealous of people ability to engage in such way with sandbox "games". I get bored after like 20 minutes.

I get that. I like to create things, it feels like legos

Nice job! I always like neat mechanisms. Only elevator I ever built was with water and soul sand.

[–] reric88 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's faster, easier and more efficient than this boat elevator! During the development process of the elevator, I did have a block switcher at the bottom which would swap a stone block for soul sand when the elevator was activated and the boat would rise very quickly (I didn't have to put a delay in like with this one.) It would also descend more quickly because the dispensers were faster. It was VERY noisy, though, because when you're on top of a bubble column it constantly makes splash noises

You can make a contained column of water with trap doors on their side (need two high) which prevents the water from escaping, soul sand underneath, and no boat needed. To come down, I made an empty column beside it with a water block at the bottom to stop fall damage.

Not as fancy as a mechanized dual-purpose elevator, but it got the job done, and it was quick and quiet.

Neat. I'm not big into Minecraft, though I'm still impressed by how ingenious people can be with it.

Why does it go doqn so much faster than up? Is it intentional?

[–] reric88 2 points 1 year ago

It goes down faster because the wiring is one way, bottom to top. So the water gets picked up starting at the bottom going up, and the last one just drops the boat at the water fall speed

Cool.
Which elemnts did you use? And are they available in Minetest too?

[–] reric88 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean by elements? The components of the build?

[–] espiritu_p@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, the components. I see redstone and switches.
But I don't know those stones that lift the boat up.

Those are dispensers; you put the item you want to dispense (water bucket) inside and when activated, they dispense. If activated again while containing a bucket, they will "grab" the water and store back in the bucket
