OpenBlocks Elevator (Fabric)
by farrucho
With OpenBlocks Elevator, players can ride a block up and down a column of elevator blocks, and each elevator can be camouflaged to look like another block.
What it does
The mod ports the elevator block from the 1.12.2 OpenBlocks mod to Fabric. An elevator block lets a player teleport vertically to other elevators in the same column, moving up or down through the world. Right-clicking any block with an elevator in hand camouflages the elevator so it matches that block.
Setup is manual. The range of blocks an elevator reaches is set in the openblocksconfig.properties file inside the config folder, where the default value of 20 can be changed. On a server, the same file in the server folder is edited instead. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.18 – 1.21.11, and the latest file targets 1.21.11. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Vertical teleport
Elevator blocks carry a player up or down to the next elevator in the same column.

Right-clicking any block with an elevator makes it appear as that block.
Configurable range
The number of blocks an elevator reaches is set in openblocksconfig.properties, default 20.
Vanilla-style placement
Elevators are placed like ordinary blocks and need no crafting beyond the mod's own recipe.

Camouflage lets a builder hide the elevator inside a wall, floor or decorative column.
Who it’s for: Builders and survival players who want a vertical transport block, and server owners who can edit its range in the server config.
How it compares
ElevatorMod is also a client and server mod under the MIT License, but it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.12.2 – 26.3. Televator is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.4 – 1.21.11, so players can join without installing it. Working Elevators requires the server to run it while clients may leave it out, and it covers 1.18 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
