Purpur Elevator
by Gjorgdy
Purpur Elevator adds Purpur Block elevator platforms that teleport entities between them when redstone powers the blocks.
What it does
Powering a Purpur Block with redstone turns it into an elevator platform. An entity standing on or jumping from one platform, or crouching to go down, is teleported to the nearest platform above or below. When both directions are available, going up takes priority over going down.
Two operating modes are available. In the simpler naive mode, any platform that is permanently powered becomes a teleport target. In the strength mode, the redstone signal strength selects the destination: a signal of 1 sends the entity to the lowest platform and a signal of 15 to the fifteenth. End rods placed between platforms extend the range of the elevators.
Fabric API is required. Purpur Elevator runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. Its settings are written to a config file that can be edited directly, or changed in-game with Fzzy Config, which is optional. Edits to the config take effect after the vanilla reload command. Files are published for 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2 and 1.21.11, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Redstone-powered platforms
A Purpur Block powered by redstone becomes an elevator platform that entities can travel between.
Naive and strength modes
Naive mode uses any powered platform as a target, while strength mode maps the signal level to a specific platform.
Range extension with end rods
End rods placed between platforms extend the distance an elevator can reach.
Configurable settings
Settings live in a config file, and Fzzy Config lets server owners change them in-game, with reloads applied by the vanilla command.

What is the point of turning Chorus into Purpur if you can't use its teleporting abilities? By powering Purpur Blocks using redstone, you can create elevator platforms that teleport you in between them.
