I really like this "as seen on Hermitcraft" tutorial. It not only imparts useful knowledge to us viewers, but it sort of "connects us" to Hermitcraft when we can add a feature from one of the Hermits' bases to our own world. Love that!

[@FarmandSMC]

I made this elevator with an observer looking at a piece of string, opening a trapdoor after 6 ticks of delay. That is plenty time to get out to the floor. If you want to go up another level, just wait for the trapdoor to open.

[@Goomba456]

Something to note that could make getting bees easier is that growing trees directly next to a flower will have a chance to spawn a bee hive, which means you can get one at home before you get access to silk touch.

[@anjisarv]

Just as I was rewatching Joel singing “Honey Honey Honey” 😆

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

Bee farm tip: if you overpopulate the farm, as in have at least four bees per nest/hive, then they'll get filled up faster since there's never any downtime. This of course works best with the compact farm so they don't have room to wonder, good luck getting extra bees in it though. I also suggest flowering azalea _leaves_ because they don't require dirt to place. You can use them as windows for a greenhouse so you don't need extra spots for flowers.

[@NerdyDavros]

Thanks for the tip! I always assumed the hives/nests recorded the bees UUID and would not allow any other bees if they were within a certain proximity. Checked the wiki and it does say that it's the bees who keep the coords of the last hive entered and it's essentially first come first serve. Will be using this in future farms.

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

@@NerdyDavros You're welcome. I also suggest no more than six bees since, with the occupancy limit of three, any more could lead to some never even entering the hive/nest. I've also found that the easiest way to get the extra bees in is to place a nest *(the main difference between nests and hives is that nests drop nothing without silk touch and hives drop themselves, on top of releasing the bees of course)* in front of the nest/hive for the farm through a stair gap, make sure they're adults so they can't escape, and break it with your hand.

[@_BangDroid_]

Also, bee's never sleep in the nether ;)

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

@@_BangDroid_ yeah, but they instantly exit the hive when it's placed unless it's night or raining.

[@MTGApollo]

WHAT THATS A THING?! I never knew azalea leaves can be used, that’s sick!

[@GSBarlev]

Thank you for making this tutorial, X! My current bubblevator is not "child safe" (my kid has gone through so many totems navigating my towers...).

[@Lakosius]

Just an additional tidbit to the Honeyvator : If the Gab between the honey is 2 blocks wide and you have a bubblecolumn on each side , you can even make a Boat elevator because the Boats hitbox clips through the honey into the bubble column

[@alexielouisl.8462]

oh that is really smart! i thought this was a simple kelp elevator but the use of honey is genius!

[@Chris_Sitko]

Yeeeeesssssssssssss! Old school tutorial video! Very detailed and very well done, sir!

[@marieleelee]

thank you thank you thank you, I was waiting for this.

[@molly_the_spy]

I love the simplicity. Definitely using this to replace the old fall in a puddle-vator. ❤

[@saphi20]

4:36 or place the kelp at the bottom from outside (the same way you used to break the kelp after) and keep clicking the bottom kelp with more kelp to make it stack/grow upwards.

[@SirJerric]

I believe scaffolding is the only block that stacks that way in Java. Bonemeal is the closest equivalent.

[@ChrisFredriksson]

Beautiful tutorial X! Thank you! ❤

[@imZaytri]

since chests have a similar collision box, the slide down can be made faster with a combination of chests and honey blocks

[@lanthanite]

This looks simple and useful. Thank you.

[@kuroimae-ashihorbuch-kanal6537]

You should do tutorials even more often. You are good at explaining things!

[@NiaSwift]

Bee farm tip: Make your bee farm in The Nether or The End, since there bees go into their nests/hives at night in the overworld, meaning that the farm is not doing anything at night. But in The Nether or in The End, they work 24/7!

[@kcscustom9759]

Even better. Rather than building it anywhere in the nether or end, build it next to a gold farm If in the nether, or near the obsidian platform in the end. So you can AFK gold and honey/honeycomb at the same time. Or, gravity blocks and honey/honeycomb at the same time.

[@stew.c]

Good to see you in tutorial mode again!

[@sargeyo3123]

Thank you x!! Will attempt soon!

[@loafofbread808]

I needed this! Great as always!

[@areksoo]

I put one in the middle of my storage room which has 4 floors. I just jump out between floors. But planning on a new concept of putting water sources between chest in corners that face perpendicular. Since chests are smaller than a block, they also allow you to shoot up like an elevator. It's a nice way to keep the elevator hidden.

[@thomasfplm]

You can also use decorated pots.

[@paolovf]

Lovely tutorial, feels like the good old days

[@carlospallete3030]

great honey farm too, very well done

[@darkejon]

I love an Xisuma choochorial. I’ll be putting one of these in my base for sure.

[@dracenathe6th383]

I was looking for a tutorial for them not long ago! Thanks for this video

[@ember_ella]

Thank you for making this tutorial! I love how you explain things, definitely going to be adding this to my own world!

[@tyscho6880]

Good way to go up without directly go in water ! To go down, best methode I found is to use powder snow (the one you need to use a bucket to carry on), and a carpet on top. It completely remove falling damage. You just need to move 1 block side each floor to be able to go down one level.

[@elliottlittle9059]

Thank you X, I have been waiting for this!

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

Man I love these sweet scented elevators

[@ama91290]

Been waiting on this. Thank you! Super simple.

[@Lexiont]

Also for the drop side you can place Open trapdoors against the block of the back, that will prevent you to touch the water and going up again by mistake

[@OnFire2346]

Thank you for sharing this! I will definitely be building this in my next world! :)

[@cpwcomputerplayerwill]

Can’t wait to make a “tree sap” elevator in my big ol’ tree base

[@Wortigon2000]

That's pretty compact, even for the note-block activation, which I usually use in my own redstone creations instead of buttons anyway. I like it!

[@kestomonti]

I really enjoyed the tutorial thank you! I will be making this in my next build, so cool!

[@jewelofbeauty]

Yay! Thanks X for this tutorial! :D

[@billbillinger2117]

This is pretty good! I wanted to add an elevator to my little perimeter (6x6 chunk)that could stop at different farms. Thanks X for sharing!

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

clever little useful evelavator

[@alisavogt2892]

Thank you for making the honeyvator tutorial easy to understand!! ❤❤

[@Luukskywalker]

This elevator design you made is so fun! :-) Although some information wasn't needed for me personally, the explanation was really clear!

[@JustJum]

With the noteblock method, couldnt you just take an observer output straight upwards, so itll power the block next to the trapdoor?

[@LegendisX]

you could, but it isn't as visually appealing

[@taanwallbanks9841]

it might be to increase the duration of the signal, idk if one redstone tick is long enough

[@hypernova9704]

X did it this way for decoration purposes

[@Alexciaooo]

nice as always! ❤

[@jennareally]

Oh i can finally finish my storage area. Ive been waiting for this.

[@bubbletanking]

You don't have to place kelp the entire height- placing one at the bottom and bonemealing it will turn every flowing water it grows through into a full source block (as it waterlogs the new kelp). Obviously you will need a single source all the way at the top still.

[@Hedged47]

Thank you so much X!!! I saw it in one of your videos a while back and figured it out. 💯

[@walterroche8192]

A point about bees. You only need 1 hive with 2+ bees since you can breed them and each hive has a max of 2-3 anyways they will naturally expand to empty hives.

[@OmegaDoesThings]

Huh! Lookin' at it, I think this might work all the way back to 1.16. I've been procrastinating on coding an elevator controller for my starter base in Create Above and Beyond (modded 1.16), and this could potentially be an easy vanilla replacement. Thanks for the tutorial Xisuma!

[@_BangDroid_]

Haha thanks X! I was just wondering about this the other day

[@herzogheftig1479]

You can also add a floor selector to this design by pushing blocks into the water column at the wanted hights. The player will get stuck below the selected floor block since the player hitbox touches the column space

[@snst_p]

wouldnt that destroy the source block and break the elevator?

[@multilicus5773]

Xisuma chuchurials are a must-see.

[@15drasedrase]

Thank you X for making this :)

[@leadharsh0616]

Hey X, i would also love if you can also share a tutorial on the unbreakable piston flying machine bamboo farm! Because i really don't afk on my world and i think it might be a great addition if i move away from the area!

[@timwoods2852]

Could you mimic the setup for stops on the other side, but put the trap doors underneath to make togglable stops? Also, thank you so much for the honey gathering Redstone! That's so simple and actually works compared to the more convoluted setup I used. It also spat bottles out every time the bees exited their hives/nests so I ended up with a bunch of empty bottles.

[@Farli-Gaming]

Great vid many thanks

[@gamesandspace]

This was the simplest two way elevator I have ever seen

[@DuelScreen]

Anvils work exactly the same in place of the honey blocks but don't offer the slow slide effect. On the other hand, you can't punch anvils accidentally like honey blocks and cause water to spill all over.

[@tnttiger3079]

I remember we used to do something similar with ladders in Beta

[@sunnyreads_8]

Great explanation…and in 6 minutes!

[@ridakesserwan8712]

can't we do the sam but with a magma block so we have downwards elevator? and touching the water means we take no fall damage?

[@Dr.Alligator]

Wow this is so smart

[@pharynx007]

thanks impulse for making literally the same elevator 2 seasons ago! 😂 jk, the floor selector is a pretty good addition to it, since his was just a one story elevator.

[@christopherl.1072]

You can also use some bonemeal stacks to fill the water with kelp from the bottom

[@jake_bytheocean]

add scaffolding for each floor! makes it a ton easier to use :)

[@austineubanks7085]

X is too good at tutorials

[@drosstherobotghost4706]

Amazing as always, such a fun idea!

[@KalendorStorm]

The funny thing is I quite literally just sat down and figured this all out days before this released lol.

[@volenhag1294]

Finally!!

[@leiaphernelia]

I made this in my minecraft world! thank you boss 🙏🏻

[@thomasfplm]

If you change the honey for decorated pots, you don't have the slow down effect for going down, but you can still go up.

[@7hkey]

Or chests :)

[@thomasfplm]

​@@7hkey, yes, my thinking about the pots is that they form a column, so I think they integrate better with a structure.

[@ralphcook2460]

This was a great video. Very simple, but it is has so many uses.

[@blueraven7684]

Definitely going to build this in my survival world eventually The fun part (or not so fun part) is going to be getting all the honey I need. This is probably the first time I'm going to need to build a farm

[@arxligion]

If your floor heights are large enough, you don't really need a second shaft- you can just drop down the first

[@Roadsteading]

this build vid would make an easy short, fwiw

[@HeartGamer26]

Look forward to building this one day

[@ANameToGoBy]

While the note block thing doesn’t work on Bedrock I’m still glad I have a multi elevator farm I can use for my base! (I am indeed a Bedrock pleb 😅). Great excuse for me to finally make my honey farm too!

[@artsynana5336]

Ohhhh thank you!! 👍🥰❤️

[@anamoyeee]

A choo-choreal yay! Also i have a quick question, why is there that 4-tick repeater, wouldn't it be better to make it 1 tick so it minimizes the latency?

[@danielsolomon3794]

Its has to do with observer tick speed being funky I belive

[@lochiegriffiths4712]

(With the addition of the Crafter, crafting honey blocks can also be automated)

[@thesledgehammerblog]

I think i first saw one of these in Zedaph's Cave of Contraptions in season 7. I've always wanted to try one but don't have the patience to wrangle bees.

[@Jamiscus]

you can use chests as well

[@bchurchill49]

I built something similar but on the down I added a trap door with a block of water above on each floor. a note block opens the trap door and I can go down floors without sliding as each of my floors are 40 blocks are so

[@quinndexter8115]

BEDROCK : Only works on bedrock if you sub the front honey blocks for positioned anvils or chests (both with their advantages and disadvantages (cost / aesthetics). Problem with java design currently is you cant exit to the floor of choice - you will have to place the trapdoor on the bottom half of the block above (and walk out diagonally away from the honey blocks). then all is good

[@quinndexter8115]

also - noteblocks cant be used like this in bedrock - so stick with buttons to activate the trapdoors between floors - OR - you can replace the noteblock with a bell and the second noteblock (the one to the back of the elevator - with a redstone lamp. (prob easier to stick with a button though :) )

[@platonymous]

This would be a cool idea for an elevator. You select the floor at the bottom and then the red stone unlock all trapdoors except that door.

[@wyldevin]

Today I learned that breaking blocks with silk touch works even in creative mode! 1:32

[@amcuhrd]

I remember when cubfan discoverd this mechanic. I tried to use it in a mob farm but couldnt get it to work. might have to go back to that one,

[@carlospallete3030]

to build the bee farm I had to surround it in a solid block instead of glass because the honey bottles would pop out all over the place

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

Ohhh this is cool! I think imma use this

[@boardgamewizard]

"I know some of you are going to comment it down below" hahaha You're not wrong

[@randomphantom3976]

"The way you can tell if a hive is full is to press F5 and check-" The beehive texture changing when it's full: "You serious?"

[@skulkingshadow]

Pretty sure you wont need honey blocks as much but rather decorated pots, exept for the descending, at each floor there could be 2-3 honeyblock to slow your fall

[@7hkey]

or chests :)

[@clearwax]

I use honeyvators and was curious how you did that 😂 not Is seems super simplistic got a like from me 😂

[@versho1081]

couldn’t the observer/note block version be done with just a downwards facing observer above the note block? (you may have to slightly move the trapdoor)

[@andrewbrown2038]

Could you add a ladder or vines on the way down to slow you at each floor?

[@stanislavpetrenko8529]

Elevator multi floor! 5:26

[@coco_O17]

I am a bit late but for "ROOTED!", you could write it "ROO TED"

[@MrJonathansb]

Nice 👌🏻

[@SolstaceWinters]

This said "no redstone", and yet there's observers, redstone repeaters, trapdoors and buttons, NOTEBLOCKS activating those trapdoors! What kind of technological science-magic is this?! I was promised no redstone! Great build though, genuinely. I could genuinely see me building this somewhere. Maybe with (I think it's) magenta glazed terracotta arrows pointing up or down on each floor.
