Hey everyone! So a few years ago, I released a recreation of Superman: Escape From Krypton as well as Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom from Six Flags Magic Mountain. Since then, it has been highly requested to make a tutorial for a working drop tower in Minecraft. So I have decided to make this tutorial, and hopefully you guys can benefit from it and make something really cool out of it!
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the video, if so, then please remember to like and subscribe! :) Thanks!! :D

Hey! After an hour of testing, i corrected two things in this tutorial and made the mine cart reach to the top (Java 1.16.5) 1. The redstone dust he puts on the white concrete on 6:25 must be extended, i mean you have to right-click it after you put it. If you don't do it (just like in the video) the cart doesn't go up after the 1st or 2nd piston, or sometimes it goes up and moves to a side getting stucked up there. 2. If you ignore the rule of switching in 3 the repeater on "floor" 8, it's enough for the car to continue going up. I made sure the repeaters were set on 2 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks, 1 click, etc. (i mean, mouse clicks, to make it understandable) And made it go up to 12 "floors". I guess that it's enough to continue repeating that pattern if you want more "floors". I used World Edit in my server to copy and paste the whole tower to repeat it the other 3 times and then recovered my entire hour of frustration xD I'm not blaming who made the video, Minecraft changes with every update. Sorry for my bad english. I hope i have fixed the tutorial, and hope you can do it, it's a great idea for an amusement park ;)

[@cryptohondarghini7282]

U say: The redstone dust he puts on the white concrete on 6:25 must be extended, i mean you have to right-click it after you put it........ What do u mean by extended? After right click nothing happens?

[@elgatoplayz9189]

Ikr

[@elgatoplayz9189]

When u right click nothing happens

[@laurentanton4680]

what about xbox

[@corngidog151]

Also, I'm playing on my phone. Maybe it's just for the phone version but my minecart would get stuck to the slime block and it wouldn't go up to the top. So I just got rid of the slime blocks and it worked fine.

[@memecentral10]

Thanks! Awsome Tutorial! I have been waiting for something like this!

[@M-NL2]

Yeah, no problem! :D

WHAT I NEEDED :D

;))))

[@jaimerosales3423]

Hey guys! So for the crafters who are playing on Version 1.19.51 (latest software update) on the video where he tests out his cart, set the repeater on 4 ticks (click 3 times) and the piston will launch the cart without having the cart stuck to the slime block!

[@LbD74]

This tutorial is awesome but I have one issue. I followed everything but the mine cart doesn't go up when I hit the button to test it. It was smooth direction till I got to the test part. If you have any idea and can help me I would appreciate it. My theme park could really use this ride. Thanks.

[@aspectzn1592]

Thanks for the vid

[@M-NL2]

np! :D

[@93vanhalen]

Why does my minecart keep bouncing? And my button keeps getting broke from the cart upon launching.

[@jordanfletcher4058]

Hey man thanks for all of this I just have a question. On bedrock the first piston on the 2 together dosnt go off and the timing as well. Do you think you could help me?

[@des7460]

I'm having the same problem!

[@glukkon666]

Sweet. I just made this on my switch. Had to change the repeaters a bit and it works perfectly. Mmm.

[@ikeilldaguy1133]

It’s not working for me amd idk how to do redefine😓

[@severinejendryka9025]

How ?

[@Study.buddy2024]

I've built it on the switch too. Please can you tell me what you changed?

[@ClosnotCarlos]

Yeah im trying to build this. Same issue.

[@kylenchristensen8311]

Really great tutorial! Thank you so much 😄

[@skstonesmith]

Is this for MC bedrock?

[@skixian]

I think for java

[@aribilewitz4500]

so im trying to do it non my phone and when i do the tutorial the first piston goes to the side but not up

[@cedarpointenthusiast]

That’s because bedrock editions red stone works different. This is java only

[@Sad-hamster751]

Just a question do this build work for bedrock edition

[@SemperFi4evr]

Awesome, still working on 1.20.4. Thanks for the tutorial, I had to set the repeater at level 8 and then at level 12 to 3 ticks to reach the top. Just one thing, how do you mount the minecart?

[@GamingwithBloxy]

I need help. When I launch it, it does not go all the way up it just go through halfway please tell me how to fix it and yes I clicked the repeaters 2 times

[@Fireworks_TV]

It actually worked, nice man

[@M-NL2]

No problem!

[@dee-ro1yh]

When I press the button how come the Minecart goes the other way where the obsidian is and it doesn’t go where the slime block is

[@justbaran4709]

I have sam problem😂

[@doylefigueroa6549]

Hey @M-NL2 For some reason only 2 sides work on the tower I built. I followed the instructions exactly but had to make a small modification for the cars (on the sides that work) to reach the top (12 floors). The change I made was based off of what @nel.caminantesolar said. I took out the one block of obsidian touching the redstone repeater and extended the white concrete to the repeater and put redstone dust on top allowing the sticky piston that is facing up to activate and push up because before making the modification the piston would just stay as it was and wouldn't push up. Hope all is well!

[@katherinegarcia2229]

Mine still only goes about 3 high and no higher ... How do i fix this?? Bedrock edition

[@CarCar75]

How can you fix this for bedrock? It works like normal except the second piston does not push the slime blocks up

[@CarCar75]

Nvm figured it out. If you put a block 2 blocks beneath the middle obsidian and put a red stone on top of it it fixes it

[@monkeythemooch141]

OM MY GOD THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, I know basically nothing when it comes to red stone and have been fiddling with it for the past few hours trying to make it work since this ride looks like such a fun idea, so thank you very much random internet stranger, you are my favorite person right now

Change the timing

[@vampiregoat69]

odd my slimeblocks go through the cart never pushes them

[@melissa9646]

the two sticky pistons near the repeaters are not moving but i copies everything you did so i think it might be bc my minecraft version is 1.16.1 will it still work if i use this version?

[@M-NL2]

I havent tried it in 1.16, i have only done it in 1.15, so im not sure if it works in the newer versions

[@melissa9646]

M-NL2-Contriver oh ok well ty anyway!

[@faithmainville5730]

I’ve been sitting here for mad long, I built it and I was so excited and it doesn’t even work😭I copied it exactly too so idk what’s going on it won’t go past the first one

[@unneededgrinds2k146]

Everything works with a few tweaks but for the holding the mine carts at the top it doesn’t slide of it pull the cart with it what do I do?

[@justbaran4709]

Same problem😂

[@drqcoxia7364]

Mine works perfect only fine but when I press the button the slime block removes the button making the button fly off and the slime block is not even close to touching it but it still happens

[@NextLevelLuv]

I am trying to make it on xbox and if the minecart bounces on the slime block what do I do? Do you have to do it on a specific version? I really want to do this!!!! It keeps getting stuck and I have to move the repeater more and more each time can someone help figure this out with me?

[@DJTIGGY]

Does someone know how to fix that when I drop my cart It bounces for a long time with slime block?

[@victoriadale2590]

Did you find a fix for this built it and I also have this issue

[@harshaggarwal5535]

Its amazing but its work in bedrock edition?

[@bumpyoreo9071]

Hey I tried experimenting with the redstone repeater to try tampering with the timing but it still not work it will not get high enough to the fifth one what should I do (btw I was experimenting with the repeaters bc it would get stuck in the slime)

[@M-NL2]

It seems that this is a common issue, and honestly I am unsure of which platforms of minecraft and which versions this works on. I can only confirm that this works on Minecraft 1.15.2, and I'm sure it works on other recent versions of Minecraft, such as 1.14.4 (haven't tested it in 1.16.1). Which version of Minecraft are you playing on?

[@philippstoon1588]

Thanks dude fhis tower is so nice

[@artandmore1406]

This is really cool! I’m trying to build it but my Mine cart doesn’t go all the way up the tower, what should I do?

[@GamingwithBloxy]

Same!!

[@therealcalminecrafter250]

I got it to work on bedrock edition Best design

[@Idk_9293]

I play on bedrock and the bottom piston won't move, do you know how to fix it ( it's console I play so I don't know if that has different mechanics from the rest of bedrock )

[@barrygilley289]

I just figuered out how to comment on tv😂😂😂

[@dorian6598]

Hey , it doesn't Work for me because the minecart gets stuck in the slime block. (I play on bedrock edition)

[@M-NL2]

Hmm, I've had that issue when I used to play on console; the only fix I could really find is experimenting with the delays on the redstone repeaters to try tampering with the timing; if this doesn't work then it may just be that I made this tutorial on java 1.15.2

[@calibergaming2223]

I had to make all the timing 3 and 4 instead of 2 and now it works I did 11 towers lol

[@M-NL2]

@@calibergaming2223 Yeah, different versions can bevave different in terms of redstone, so playing with the timing usually helps

[@ballinbros3212]

Can u help me with this?

[@NextLevelLuv]

I am using the exact blocks they are in the video I can make it do the first 2 but not a 3rd one or more.

[@skstonesmith]

This looks absolutely awesome! Is this in Java or Bedrock?

[@M-NL2]

Java 1.15.2

[@evang4ming120]

The minecarts on my drop tower are going up at a delay for some reason and then lag on the way down any suggestions?

[@flamez-2.030]

i have a fix to the 3rd minecart stuck, just put a pig in the minecart with a saddle and poof it works just make sure to name it or it will despawn

[@Equestrian_editz]

7:41 this sideways sticky piston keeps pushing and stoping do you know how to fix that or what the cause is

[@Study.buddy2024]

When I press the button it looks like the minecart just goes inside the slime block. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[@kailmcdaniel4794]

Can only get mine up to the 3 rd set of pistions. Still cool tho

[@kimberlycorrigan5621]

Awesome design but I have one issue when I push the button to start the "ride" the minecarts get stuck on the slime instead of going up

[@leannmedina5846]

Me too. I think an update on Minecraft happened and you can’t do it anymore

[@sk8ters7]

just put a pig with a saddle in the cart and ride the pig

[@4k_destroyer904]

It works but pushing it up the bottom pistons for each story doesn’t work can you help?

[@LbD74]

All pistons fire simultaneously but cart doesn't doesn't go up. Also I can't get the cart to sit horizontally before I drop it.

[@deannabelcher4245]

This dud said 4 but when I keep on trying to but 4 blocks it messed me up at ever edges keep on not going right it keep on going to two to three blocks so I counted five blocks at ever edges and it looks about right so its five blocks not 4 this dude messed me up

[@cheepmc]

is this bedrock or java

[@kristamanning]

it doesnt work it doesnt launch i tried switching the repeater still doesnt work

[@Bonio84]

Hey any advice.... Whenever i press the button, the one i press goes up to the top correctly, but the other 3 only go up twice then fall back down. However, if i try a different one, that one goes up and the other 3 only go up twice.... so the 3 that are broken change to the 3 not being used.

Working in bedrock??

[@Wondermel13]

What am I doing wronggggg? The third slime block just grabs me and pulls me back with it. I’ve changed the repeaters a million times. This build is genius (I am not lol). Any suggestions?

Same

[@theradshark]

Yeah same I just commented its not working

[@thingmaster7792]

I think it’s the new update I’m having that issue too

[@GamingwithBloxy]

It’s because the repeaters is wrong. I had the same issue and I checked the repeaters. If it default then that’s why if on click 2 or tick 2 wtv u call it then that’s why I think
