I'll show you how to make a water elevator in Minecraft.
To build it, we need a few resources.
Specifically, some building blocks.
One water bucket.
Kelp.
Two signs.
And Soul Sand or a Magma Block.
Now, let's start building.
I will use glass as the block for the elevator.
Place two blocks like this.
And attach signs to them.
Then, place three blocks like this and raise them up to the height you need.
Be sure to also place them above the signs we just put down.
Now, pour water right here at the top.
Go all the way down to the bottom.
And plant Kelp.
Grow it all the way to the very top.
We do this so that every single flowing block turns into a source water block.
All that's left is to go back down to the bottom.
Now, first break the Kelp.
And then break the block that is underneath it.
In its place, we can either put Soul Sand to make the elevator push us up.
Or a Magma Block to make the elevator pull us down.
That's all.
Enjoy your elevators!
Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
