'''Elevators''' are methods of vertical travel that go directly up or down, unlike stairs. In vanilla Minecraft, this might be achieved with some sort of redstone contraption, however Civ servers have added ways to make elevators outside of redstone. Early attempts to do this were by using minecarts to teleport players to the highest available block, however you could only use it to travel to only that highest possible point. Servers made using 1.13 and further can also utilize water elevators.
An '''elevator''' is a block that allows teleporting either directly upwards or downwards to another elevator. [[Civ]] servers have variously used gold blocks ([[CivRealms 2.0]], [[CivClassic 2.0]]) or lodestones ([[CivMC]]) as elevators.


[[CivRealms 2.0]] was the first [[mainline]] server to introduce elevators.
[[CivRealms 2.0]] was the first to have '''Gold Block Elevators''', in which a player would left click to go down or right click to go up to the next available gold block (as long as the space above it is unobstructed). This proved to be a popular mechanic, which led to other servers adding this to their own plug-in list, although with slightly different controls, with the [[Civclassic]] implementation being to left click to go down, eventually cycling back up to the highest, and the [[Devoted Hell]] implementation being jump to go up, and crouch to go down.

An elevator is a block that allows teleporting either directly upwards or downwards to another elevator. Civ servers have variously used gold blocks (CivRealms 2.0, CivClassic 2.0) or lodestones (CivMC) as elevators.

CivRealms 2.0 was the first mainline server to introduce elevators.

Mechanics

A gold block being used as an elevator.

When standing on an elevator, jump to go to the elevator above, and shift to go to the elevator below. Multiple vertically aligned elevator blocks can be used to create "floors", where jumping or sneaking multiple times transfers the player through multiple floors.

To be considered valid, an elevator block must have at least 2 empty air blocks above it.

Reinforcing an elevator will not lock it to that NameLayer group. It will remain usable by all players.
