IMPORTANT! A recent snapshot replaced the "Riding" entity tag with a "passengers" entity tag, which works quite differently. Because of this change, some of the commands in this video no longer work. Updated commands are below.

WARNING: Players will occasionally get stuck inside the elevator floor. The only way to get unstuck is to fly out. The best way to avoid this is to not move or look around while the elevator is moving up.
