'''Elevators''' are methods of vertical travel, going either directly up or down. In civ servers, the most prevalent type of elevator is the '''gold block elevator''', though minecart elevators are also used.

===Minecart Elevators ===

[[File:Cart elevator.png|thumb|Example of a Minecart elevator]]

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.<ref>https://github.com/CivClassic/SimpleAdminHacks/blob/master/src/main/java/com/programmerdan/minecraft/simpleadminhacks/hacks/GameFeatures.java</ref>

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 containing the minecart, the player will instead be killed instantly.<ref>https://github.com/CivClassic/SimpleAdminHacks/blob/9223431c96511713f7d072c468944702f917a68c/src/main/java/com/programmerdan/minecraft/simpleadminhacks/hacks/GameFeatures.java#L476-L480</ref> This can make it dangerous to use minecart elevators blindly, as they could be a trap.
