About OpenBlock Elevator

Experience vertical transportation revolution with this clever recreation of the popular PC mod's elevator system, adapted for Minecraft PE by BlastCoby. This redstone and command block creation eliminates the tedium of ladder climbing or stair trudging with an elegant solution - simply jump to ascend floors or press a button to descend. The system uses sophisticated command block detection to identify players standing on designated iron blocks, then smoothly teleports them between floors. The three-floor demonstration showcases the technology's potential while maintaining realistic building proportions. Unlike complex piston elevators or water streams, this design integrates seamlessly into builds without massive redstone footprints or visible mechanisms. The upcoming update promises even more functionality, suggesting features like floor selection or express modes. The beauty lies in its simplicity from the user perspective - no minecarts to summon, no buttons to hold, just natural movement triggering vertical transportation. This early version already demonstrates how command blocks can recreate beloved mod functionality in vanilla Minecraft.

Key Features

  • Jump-activated upward floor transportation
  • Button-controlled descent system
  • Three-floor demonstration building
  • Seamless integration without visible mechanisms
  • Command block powered for reliability
  • Planned updates for enhanced functionality

What Makes This Special

OpenBlock Elevator showcases the evolution of Minecraft transportation beyond traditional methods. The jump-to-ascend mechanic feels intuitive and game-like, removing the mechanical button-pressing of conventional elevators. The command block implementation demonstrates advanced detection systems - /testfor for player position, /testforblock for button states, and /tp for smooth movement. This creates an almost magical experience where the building responds to presence rather than requiring interaction. The PC mod inspiration shows how beloved community features can be adapted across platforms. The promise of future updates suggests this is a living project responding to user feedback. This type of innovation makes vertical buildings more viable by removing the primary complaint - tedious vertical movement.

Pro Tips

  • Ensure command blocks remain loaded for function
  • Iron blocks must be precisely placed
  • Can be adapted for more floors with modification
  • Keep elevator shaft clear of obstructions
