To make a water elevator in Minecraft, you need to build a vertical shaft with glass blocks, add water source blocks inside it, and use kelp to turn flowing water into source blocks. Then, place either Soul Sand at the bottom for an upward elevator or Magma Block at the bottom for a downward elevator to create bubble columns that propel you up or down.
Materials Needed:
- Glass blocks for the elevator shaft
- Water buckets
- Kelp (to convert flowing water into source blocks)
- Signs (to stop water flow)
- Soul Sand (for up elevator)
- Magma Block (for down elevator)
Steps to Make a Water Elevator:
- Construct a tall shaft with glass blocks (size depends on how high you want the elevator).
- Place water source blocks inside the shaft.
- Place kelp from bottom to top inside the water to convert all water blocks to source blocks.
- Place signs inside the shaft to prevent water from spilling out.
- Replace the block at the bottom with Soul Sand for bubbles that push players up.
- Or replace the block at the bottom with Magma Block for bubbles that pull players down.
This creates a bubble column elevator, allowing transportation upward or downward efficiently. You can build both an up and a down elevator side by side for convenience.
