Though slightly cruder, minecarts (and also boats) can also be used to create elevators. If there is not enough room to stand when exiting a minecart or boat, 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.{{Cn|date=December 2021}}

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.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}
