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.
