Rapid Minecart Elevator Tutorial for Minecraft

[mytymj7]

pictures work for it with 1.1, haven't seen if ladders work in 1.2

[TwiCaCaX]

Minecrft giveaWay here plus this seems to be not working in multiplayer 1.1

[kimsanden]

on the creative mode it doesnt works.

[Platinum21830]

Actually they're bringing back the collision box in 1.2 :)

[DarkLeviathan8]

No longer working in 1.1. Sorry

[MrNewGuyGaming]

Hey awesome tutorial. It's patched in 1.1 though. I have a fix posted on my channel, just swap the ladders for iron bars or glass panes

[Roobitz]

@MrNewGuyGaming Thanks for the info. I suspect it doesn't work now because of the change they made to the ladder hitbox in that you can no longer stand on it. Iron bars and glass panes it is then!

[markhelfrich]

@MrNewGuyGaming You can also use "open" trap doors.

[AmeliaD91]

This still works in 1.0.0

[QuickScopeRabbit]

how do u put the minecart in the space

[Borohockey28]

@QuickScopeRabbit Put a rail on top of a block right above the ladder. Then destroy that block, and it falls onto the ladder.

[norokelt]

one usefull HINT ;)

you can travel from bedrock layer 1 to the top layer 127-128 in just 5 right-clicks in less than 1 second (depends on how fast you are abble to click lol :P).

it works on exactly this same pattern as this... except that you use only 5 minecarts/wagons (i guess Boat will work too).

all you have to do is to put them in their max "use" range = 61 blocks

which is the max ... after this distance, you are unable to right-click/use the cart.

[NextToFallMusic]

Does this still work for 1.8.1?



[Roobitz]

@NextToFallMusic I've just given it a test in my 1.8.1 world, and it seems to still work just fine.

[MinecraftReportNews]

[TheDeliciousTictac]

6 people minecarts crashed and exploded

[DertBlock]

your getting all of this from pyroopuncher

[Roobitz]

@DertBlock Can you point me to which episode? He has 446 video uploads and I can't find which one it would be based on the episode titles.

[hakkihakki777]

cool



[thealterator]

i'd choose this method over pistons as its taking me forever to find slimes in multiplayer

[desox2009]

boats are much easier, place the 2 glass, 1 lower, between them (so in the corner) place something like dirt and roght click a boat on the dirt after that destrow the dirt, done.

[Borohockey28]

@desox2009 Yes but boats tend to glitch through walls and break.

[TheBigNegus]

Dude that popup scared the shit out of me

[ledraps22]

Much better than piston elevators

[KippurCatArts]

THEY CAN TAKE AWAY OUR MINECART ELEVATORS, BUT THEY CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY OUR... use of mods?

[jp86II]

its called boat hopping

[StudMuffinSamVideos]

nice job but a little inefficient dont u think?

[Roobitz]

@StudMuffinSamVideos Perhaps, but compared to some of the piston transport systems I've seen, this is quite modest.

[MrLoggfreak]

is it faster than the 4 way piston elevator and the piston zipper elevator????

[MrLoggfreak]

and the spiral staircast piston elevator???

[SonB288]

Works in 1.7.2 but the minecarts rubberband and glitch, so not as pretty or reliable (sometimes the carts rubberband out of range of the next cart.) Also sometimes you get to the top then sink down the stack again.

Damn Notch and his selective grasp of physics. If carrying a thousand tons of rock on your back to your antigravity floating castle is fine then what's wrong with a little elevator?

[Roobitz]

@SonB288 Thanks for updating me on the physics changes in 1.7.2, I haven't had a lot of time to play around with this idea recently. You gotta love Notch Logic eh?

[SonB288]

@Roobitz Correction, actually tested in 1.7.3 (the current one.) Looking forward to another round of physics nerfs in 1.8 of course! Thanks for the vid btw.

[ibastardone]

coal yeah



[666CoDFREAK]

nice one :D

[kontkorstlikke]

That is a neat design. Im gonna use this dude. Thanks a lot!

[Vidarheart]

It might be, that it will be fixed that you can mount into a minecart before dimounting from the one you're in ... but even Waterbrakes MIGHT be fixed someday

[vertfreak09]

Fantastic!

[tibab88]

one word

***AWESOME***

[SongsOfThisVEVO]

it is much harder to do it in 1.7.2 but still possible

[Roobitz]

@runenite113 I recorded the video when the game was in v.1.6.4, and it still works in the current version (1.6.6). How is that a fail?

[MChowto99]

Or you could make a ladder. I'll post a tutorial on my channel.

(That was a joke. HA HA...)

[43likan]

nice

[1484Kenji]

Is this a glitch abuse or is it working as intended? I don't really understand why this actually works so I just wanted to make sure. I don't want to make something this big and expensive to find it useless a few patches later!

[XBOX360FOEVA]

@1484Kenji it works becuz u r jumping into each minecart. there is no real way to fix you getting into a minecart

[graemezxturner]

this isnt working for me, the mine cart jst sort of bobbles up and down.anyone else?

[FukuokaDavid]

@graemezxturner Same, couldn't get it to work.

[Label07]

Sure looks like a glitch to me... cool alternative to boring ladders. However, I try to avoid anything that is a glitch, as it will be patched at some point.

[93ZMilla]

@Label07 its not really a glitch. it just takes advantage of the fact that ladders can hold blocks up because they take up the same space as every other block. however the nice thing about ladders is that you can easily see around them (and click the minecart). theres no chance this would get patched out

[MrBockwurst96]

Does it work with boats? because minecarts are really iron-expensive :D

[TheSuperToast69]

COAL!

[AkszMaszkaro]

goood work :)

[stin6516]

Could probably do this with boats too

[wtfijustwon]

i found a way to improve this, by being able to stop at any level. put a ladder at every level with a minecart, where you will be falling. with this, you wont take falling damage, and thus wont need the water at the end. and if you press shift before you hit one of the ladders, and hold it you will stay on that level. I hope you understand what im saying.

[Splakkin]

you make quality videos, well done.

[Seirra259]

And how do you go DOWN to any level you want? straight down to the bottom then go up to the level you want?

[AZNjimmyKID]

sweet i did one of these with boat for fast horizontal trasportation

[miege90]

good idea! ;)

[Diggzzy1]

what buttons do you press to go up?

[MrRedbull016]

@Diggzzy1 right mouse button

[1023218ma]

Damn, I figured how to make this without any help, but I never made a video. Damn it.

[klaaser14]

this is a very ncie guide even thought it had no audio =] 11/10

[JohAsp97]

REALLY SMART! :D

[BounizeDotCom]

Which program did you use, to record?

[Roobitz]

@BounizeDotCom Fraps @ 50fps

[Korishikun]

@Roobitz Nice Idea

[cpriicorn]

@Roobitz Might as well use 30fps since Youtube is only 30. :p

[biz3kid]

This is terrific. Thanks so much.

[MsCandiez]

awesome



[BlueStrikeP]

my God this is genius, and here I was flipping out now that my water elevator had stranded me all the way down a mine shaft.

[Ragingisky]

Removed Herobrine made me shit myself to be honest...

[unmi1231]

what all did notch do in the up date?

[Roobitz]

@unmi1231 In the most recent one he tweaked glowstone a lot, fixed a few bugs, changed bonemeal a bit... etc. If you google "minecraft version history" the first search result gives a good summary of the changes.

[unmi1231]

@Roobitz ok ty for being nice

[Linuxdirk]

@Roobitz Dont forget, that he added almost 100 NEW bugs since the first 1.6 update.

[ottosweden123]

iron tools. Badass!

[Roobitz]

@ottosweden123 I savour every swing of the 'ol pickaxe. ;)

[funkymonky51]

holy sht that was fast o_o thats not what she said btw

[jebwatson]

That's pretty awesome.

[xpericfilms]

it's easier with boats. just saying.

[baseballdsl123]

@xpericfilms but boats break

[ILOVECAPSLOCKSOMUCH]

You're awesome.

[thing2liv]

I just use boosters on a 1:1 slope, works fine for me!

[MaccasTutorials]

WOAH, that was amazingly faster than the water elevator! that doesn't work anymore! thanks for this

(:

[crjtodd]

You, my friend, are a genious.

*starts a slow clap*

[kazatskiyme]

Sadly, this will get you kicked from some servers for "moving to fast". It thinks you might be cheating. :(

[ImxClanz]

I did the update for Bata 1.6.5 and now when i press E it opens my inventory for a second? wtf???

[EpicFishFingers]

Great idea!

Although I wouldn't get too attached to it, as it'll probably be gone soon enough too :(

[StinkeeCheese]

Put sugar cane or a sign underneath the water to make a quick exit instead of 'swimming' out

[Birgerogole]

Lol your Skin is Pure win :P

[seekohler]

I made one of these a few weeks ago and showed it on my Justin.tv stream. I doubt I was the first to make one, either. Also, you can hold down the left mouse button to climb although it is a little slower.

[Karlizkool350]

I just re-created this in my world (its a bitch to do when you are afraid of falling like an idiot because your world already has an MS...) thanks so much for this :D

[25shadez]

Can I reccomend using a sign underneath your water drop? It has no collision mass.

[Roobitz]

@25shadez I think I'll try that. From time to time, like in this video, I end up dropping onto the ladder ledge. If a sign will stop that from happening, I'm switching.

[AverageLeagueGamer]

@25shadez when i use a sign the carts don't stay on top of it they just fall

[Lythiaren]

@AverageLeagueGamer You need ladders to hold up the carts, he was talking about the nearby water brake. If you watch the vid at about 0:28, you'll see he drops into the water and stays in the water. That's because he got caught on the top of the ladder that was holding up the water. Stuff gets caught on ladders, that's why you use them for the carts. Stuff doesn't get caught on signs, that's why you use it for a water brake.

[25shadez]

@AverageLeagueGamer Read it again, I said the water drop. Signs have no collision mass, so it won't work to hold carts, but it's better for a water drop. Ladders do, so you can take fall damage on a water drop, but carts will be held up.

[chasermann94]

How far can you go before you need to place a new minecart?

[Roobitz]

@chasermann94 When I measured it,. the furthest I could place them is with three blocks between, including the one with the ladder on it. When you set it on top of the rail, you put it a block higher than it needs to be, then when you break the block from below, the cart falls into place in the fourth block down. Hope that helps.

[TaviRider]

I LOLed.

[nosrepa]

This works with boats as well, which are cheaper

[Roobitz]

@nosrepa Very true, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

[Jaaku1980]

@nosrepa But boats would end up being much harder to place

[woodringg]

@Jaaku1980 minecarts are much harder to place because it requires you put it on tracks, boats can be placed anywhere

[tjb0607]

@Jaaku1980 where he places the dirt, put water there. Then do the exact same thing.

[toanoradian]

@tjb0607 Er, doesn't work. I put the water between the two glass blocks (by placing them above a ladder) then the boat atop the water. I tried to go up, doesn't work.

Help?

[seekohler]

@Jaaku1980 Boats also have a tendency to slip into the walls and when they break you don't get a boat back. Carts are better in just about every way for this use.

[Kirkyisawesome]

@Jaaku1980 easier actually, you can place them on ground

[AlphuhTime]

Very clever, i love it. :D
