With this plugin active, all gold blocks (under certain conditions; see below) are turned into elevators. While standing on a gold block, you can left click (or press shift) to go down, and right click (or press spacebar) to go up. Your "destination" must be another gold block which is in-line vertically with your current gold block. [[CivRealms 2.0]] was the first server to introduce the gold block as an elevator.

While standing on a gold block, you can left click or press shift to go down, and right click or press spacebar to go up, the exact controls will depend on which civ server you are on, some servers this can be changed within the /config command. Your "destination" must be another gold block which is in-line vertically with your current gold block. [[CivRealms 2.0]] was the first server to introduce the gold block as an elevator.


Many consecutive gold blocks may be chained vertically to create "floors". Right click or jump multiple times to go up multiple floors, and similarly for going down multiple floors.

Though slightly cruder, minecarts can also be used to create elevators. If there is not enough room to stand when exiting a minecart, the game will teleport you up to the highest available spot possible. This was actually a bug in previous versions of minecraft that has since been patched, but civ servers have brought it back as a plugin instead.

Upon exiting a minecart, starting from the sky height, the server will check for a block with 4 blocks of air above it. If no such block exists in the vertical column above the minecart, the player will instead be killed instantly. This can make it dangerous to use minecart elevators blindly, as they could be a trap.
