Minecraft- Zipper Elevator Tutorial

[ArtfulDawdger]

for me, the last piston always sticks open unless there is a block update. This means I can only use the elevator once without fixing it every time. Anyone else seeing something similar?

[WastedMeerkat1]

@ArtfulDawdger Yeah, I was trying to be all clever with my wiring for a better way to wire the ejector pistons at the top, as well as some doors, but it seems Mojang must have screwed something up with piston wiring. The pistons holding stairs started to grab redstone signals from 2 blocks above them, for some reason! I have no freakin' idea how they could screw it up that bad without noticing. IDK, you'll just have to finagle with it 'til it works; that's what I did.

thanks :D but i had to put the reapeaters on 3 but still pretty good

[PaMS1995]

so with the new update, i thought i would build one all the way to the new world height. as soon as i couldnt even see the world again when piling up blocks to see how high it was i was like "lol fuck that"

[coltuun]

Heey im playing smp and i have everything that i can see perfect but it doesnt work past level 5 and you have to hold jump to do it but also im on 1.2 so could it be just the newer version?

[MinecraftxGamingxNow]

what texture pack is that?

[WastedMeerkat1]

@MinecraftxGamingxNow Ray Frenden's Minecraft Texture Pack. I'm not sure if he's updated it for the latest version of Minecraft, though. You could check.

Thanks so much! im going to build one to get to the top of a floating island :D

[yuvaw]

Whoops, nevermind! Found the problem! I had both of the very first two repeaters set to the 3rd speed. Now it works perfectly! A fine tutorial this is. If even I (someone without a lick of good redstone sense) could get this done, then that's really saying something about the simplicity of the design.

[yuvaw]

Hours... I spent hours... working on this build. I followed it perfectly. I see that it 's working. I changed the speed settings to every possible one. I even tried using different kinds of stairs. And still, this elevator is not working for me. I can't get it to lift me beyond the first two blocks. Why?

[mayney1222]

i have copied the design, but when i get to the 5th level it stops working and i get stuck this is on single player so lat can't be an issue, am pretty sure that i have copied the design block for block so i don't know where i've went wrong, any chance of some help?

[WastedMeerkat1]

@mayney1222 Hmm, could you pass me your save file? That would be the easiest way for me to look at it. Just put your world into a zip file, attach it to an email, and send it to selk879@gmail.com.

[mayney1222]

@WastedMeerkat1 nvm a sorted it by putting the delayers to instant instead of the 2nd notch, do you know if this system works in SMP?

[WastedMeerkat1]

@mayney1222 Yeah it should work in SMP. I haven't tested it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

[PaMS1995]

@WastedMeerkat1 it does, as long as the repeaters are on 2 ticks. otherwise you might get stuck in the pistons if you have a slow server

[Braindead87421]

@mayney1222 It works on SMP, although you may not want to set it to full speed and may even consider setting repeaters to their 3rd setting even just to account for lag. Sometimes redstone sequences will lag and suddenly jump to catch up on SMP which can cause you to get stuck midway up and end up falling back down.

@WastedMeerkat1 I have the same problem as @mayney1222 when i get to 5th layer it stops working :L
