I was just watching your video about useful comparator circuits and I got an interesting idea (I think so anyways) could you make a huge numbot or neural network like numbot and connect it to your minecraft in minecraft or your pong gane, then you could have some sort of score based thing for the neural network to learn and then you could have an Ai that plays minecraft or pong. Or maybe even chess, but all of hem are probably extremely difficult to make and I wouldn't be suprised if they were impossible.

The elevator is Perfect in my hotel! I also found a couple of flaws: 1. The redstone torch is sometimes on but it's not broken(17:57) A solution for that is just to simply move the redstone down 2 blocks 2. I realised that I was very lucky since I only have 14 floors! this is because redstone signal strength excites. I can't find a way to put down a repeater anywhere. I would love to make a 100 floor elevator! Edit: I know lots of you don't know which redstone to move down, so I made this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJarYqmQm9GBa8U

This helped a lot, I wasn't sure what to do but moving it down 2 blocks helped. For those still confused, move the slabs down 2 blocks, and make the redstone climb up 2 blocks to the observer. You can't do full blocks against the wall, so you make need to go around the other side.

[@michaelcatchpole7230]

I just built a 10 floor version of this on a 1.17.1 Spigot server and it works - an awesome piece of redstone. The floors in my structure are 6 blocks high, which caused every other set of torches in the torch tower to be turned on when I got to the floor since the torch tower alternates on/off every 2 blocks and when dividing up my floors that way I get an odd number. This was easy enough to fix by moving the slabs and redstone line down to the next lower set of torches on these floors and then as it heads towards the observer bringing them up to the block leading into the observer. I do think if you went much over 10 floors you might hit a point where you need repeaters on those redstone lines, but I'm contemplating in 1.18 making a super tall structure so maybe I'll find out at some point.

[@andrewsantopietro3526]

At 17:57 the torches are turned off only if your floors are multiples of 4 blocks apart. If your floor is 4n + 2 blocks apart you can just add a torch on the side to invert the signal before linking it to the observer. Very good elevator btw

I love this elevator but you can also mess it up easily, especially when you power on those observers without intention. Some schematic/world download would have been nice to check if everything is right when building it by yourself. It is now working perfectly. If I would build it again, I would place the water in the end and checking first that every button is working fine. Then placing one bucket on top where the last stair should be and then using kelp from bottom to top and then place the stairs there. It is so much easier to build in this order. It is the best elevator i have seen so far. Very compact and i love compact :) (15 Stars out of 10)

Mumbo was right. You are a red stone Wizard. I’m so going to build a few of these.

[@nicholasweiss4662]

I just incorporated this in a build in Survival. It has 8 floors and is 83 Blocks high. One thing I noticed, is that the water sources form from the bottom up. This leads to the problem, that if I set it to the top floor, it takes 23 seconds for the bubble column to actually reach that floor. Since the water is replaced every time I select a floor, I always have to wait 23 seconds to go to the top floor, even when I'm only one floor lower, and then using my staircase is faster than the Elevator... Im currently working on a modified version of this Design that uses dispensers, reducing the time to place a 83 block tall Column to about 5 seconds. I already got the column part to work with dispensers, but I still have to come up with some changes to the floor selector, since the current version always pulses the torch on and off before completeley turning it on. Im not a master of Redstone, but I hope to find a solution, maybe using flipflops to eliminate these pulses. Currently the pulsing if the floor selector causes unexpected behaviour of the dispensers...

[@PsiQss]

The selector is genius! But if you want to go even further and simplify the redstone more, go with separate columns for up and down stream (soulsand/magma block). Then the only thing you need to do with the bubble section is add two pistons to block the streams at chosen level (both up and down) and waterlogged stairs to regenerate the source block when it retracts :) I'm stealing the selector for that design though :P

[@CraftyMasterman]

Falling faster :))))

[@Niki1A_]

@@CraftyMasterman You could do this with falling too, just place one water source two blocks above every floor (with a sign underneath it) and you won't take any fall damage. This shouldn't slow your fall too much if the floors are not very close to each other.

Only thing I can think of to improve this: have each 2-block segment be fully independent and driven from its own 'floor select line', to get rid of that weird ripple pattern and make the elevator respond nearly *instantly* to button inputs

[@garrettledford1147]

Love this elevator but I had a bit of an ordeal getting it working. I ran into the issue of offset torch towers as discussed in other comments, but I tested it before I realized there was an issue. It didn't work and I realized the torch tower and did the fix other commentors described, but then my elevator broke even worse and made me remarkably frustrated. What happened was that when I tested it with the wrong arrangement, then fixed it, my second leg got inverted in the piston section and nothing worked (as in it would fill when it was supposed to be off and empty when it was supposed to be full). The fix is easy if you know it: just set the elevator to the ground floor and go through and move all of the stairs in error to where they're supposed to be. I also noticed not necessarily a flaw but a mechanical shortcoming, the bubble propagate through the source blocks slower than the player rises through them, so at greater heights (35ish blocks) the player can be slowed to the rate of the bubble propogation until they reach the top.

[@ChrisThe1]

I encountered a super weird issue with this design. I built it for 5 floors. It works perfectly fine from floor 1 to 4, but when attempting to go to the 5th the element connecting floor 3 and 4 breaks down (that works fine if only going up to the 4th floor). I assume it is an issue with the signal time being extended somehow, and the observer controlling the segment between floor 3 and 4 triggers twice; on signal on and again on off (turning off the water). I fixed it by implementing a piston that would limit the signal length to a single tick, but couldn't figure out what exactly was causing the issue.

[@Z0NKO]

i have the same issue, how to reduce the signal to a single thick ?

[@ChrisThe1]

@@Z0NKO basically you run a repeater into a sticky piston facing upwards, that has a block on top, so that the signal goes into both piston and block. The signal will power the block, so you can take an output from the block with a simple redstone line. After 1 tick the piston fires, moving the block out of the way and thus removing the signal.

[@dmitrex7219]

This is a very cool mechanism, but you can save a lot of resources if you make 2 columns of water (one up, the other down) and create 2 restrictions with pistons on each floor. This allows you to use a lot less pistons and observers, as well as reduce the depth of the mechanism by 1 block, but making the part of the elevator wider.

At 17:57, you claim the torches below the blocks in line with the observers should be turned off. However, you also said we can space floors any even distance apart. If we move a floor two blocks up from what you have, those torches will be on. But also, since the observer only cares about changes, shouldn't it not matter whether those torches start on/off?

I messed this up somehow. I think I powered something during the build. I have water spilling out, and can't get the thing to work. When I am on the bottom (or any floor) and click the button for floor one, there is still water in the elevator shaft. Not even source water. And, of course I built it HUGE--274 blocks from bedrock to a big Mob Spawner I built earlier. I also wanted to start a Mega-Multi-Level-Mining Operation and built under the Mob farm a sorting and storage room for all the drops AND a Phantom kill spot. All were to be accessed by the elevator. I'll keep working on it. I'm not going to blow it up or abandon it. Yet.

[@Imageking1969]

As it turns out, I found out (using Spectator Mode) that some of my floors happen to line up badly with the Torch Tower. (there is power where there shouldn't be) I will need to fix this, then the elevator might work properly. If you are having the same issue, you may want to select the bottom floor, then go into Spectator Mode and go floor by floor to check your other floors. There should be an unpowered line of Redstone in line with all the Observers all the way up.

[@Imageking1969]

NOPE. Still not working. Bringing out a mess of shulker boxes and disassembling the brobdingnagian mess to go back to a simpler (albeit slower) design. This may work for about 100 blocks from bottom to top, but not for going from bedrock to (almost) the build limit.
