Elevator
by SwordfishBE
Elevator lets players ride a column of blocks up and down by jumping and sneaking, once the platform is built from a configured block type.
What it does
Elevator is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 – 26.3, using the release versions 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.6 for 26.3, published 2026-09-15. Fabric API is required, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing anything.
A platform is made of a redstone block floor, one configured elevator block set on top of it, and an iron block above. Each platform can be repeated to create stacked stops. Travel only works between elevator platforms built from the same block type, and at least two free blocks must stay open above the elevator block. Standing on the elevator block and jumping moves the player up, while sneaking moves them down.
With Mod Menu and Cloth Config installed on the client, a player gets the full in-game configuration screen. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source.
Key features
Block-based platforms
A platform is built from a redstone block floor and a configured elevator block, which can be repeated to add stops.
Jump and sneak travel
Standing on the elevator block, a player jumps to rise and sneaks to descend between platforms.
Matching block types
Travel only links platforms built from the same elevator block type, so separate lines can coexist in one area.
In-game configuration
With Cloth Config and Mod Menu on the client, the settings can be changed in game.
