An elevator is only considered operational if the two blocks direcly above it are air.<\/p>\n<p>**By default, all elevators link to all elevators**, but through the _settings_ you can enable **colors mode**, which allows you to dye elevators and link only elevators with the same dye.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the settings you can set an xp cost to use an elevator.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to new tech introduced in 1.20, you can even **camouflage your elevator block by just rightclicking it with any block**.  <\/p>\n<p>To **remove** an elevator, **hit it with a pickaxe**.<\/p>\n<p>To show some basic help in-game, use `\/trigger elevator.help`.<\/p>\n<p>## How to set up<\/p>\n<p>Download the zip file and place it into your `world\/datapacks` folder. If the world is already running, run `reload`. That&#8217;s all you need to do for it to start working.  <\/p>\n<p>However, have a look at the following settings to customize your experience.<\/p>\n<p>## Settings<\/p>\n<p>This datapack comes with some settings that you can adjust to customize your experience. All settings are changed by running this command in chat:<\/p>\n<p>    scoreboard players set <setting> elevator.settings <value><\/p>\n<p>### range<br \/>\n_Default: 384_<br \/>\nLimits the maximum distance an elevator can teleport a player. By default it&#8217;s the entire world height. **Setting it to a value below 3 will render all elevators useless.**<\/p>\n<p>### sameColor<br \/>\n_Default: 0_<br \/>\nIf set to `1`, elevators will only teleport players to elevators with the same color. It is recommended to also enable `showColor` when turning this on. **Rightclick an elevator with a dye to change its color.**<\/p>\n<p>### showColor<br \/>\n_Default: 0_<br \/>\nIf set to `1`, elevators will display the color they have been set to with a small particle. Also useful to see where elevators are.<\/p>\n<p>### requireXP<br \/>\n_Default: 0_<br \/>\nA value >0 required players to pay with this amount of experience points (not levels!) to use an elevator. If they have less XP than this value, they won&#8217;t be able to use an elevator.<\/p>\n<p>## Troubleshooting<\/p>\n<p>In case some parts of the datapack don&#8217;t work as expected anymore (crafting, placing, breaking, interacting), here is a simple steps you can take to try to resolve them:<\/p>\n<p>Because a lot of things are triggered through advancements, so running `advancement revoke Player from elevator:root` should reset those triggers for the &#8220;Player&#8221;. This should fix most issues.<\/p>\n<p>### Contact<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, concerns, praise or found a bug, you can contact me directly at [contact@plagiatus.net](mailto:contact@plagiatus.net) or use my contact form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elevator Blocks for Vanilla Minecraft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":164215,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"vanilla-elevators","_minecraft_project_id":"AwVQWcxe","_minecraft_author":"Plagiatus","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":637,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"vanilla-elevators.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":23139,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T06:46:08.726410Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-12-10T07:30:27.703295Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2024-12-08T14:28:48.347283Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/vanilla-elevators","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":164215,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T17:04:24+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"a203509f45bb5078ad3ae63a6a015f7a","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,89,122,92],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[38],"class_list":["post-164214","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-magic","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-1-21-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
