You can build structures as big as you want in Minecraft. When you make huge buildings, climbing up stairs can be time-consuming. Thanks to the use of redstone, you can now climb high structures in just a matter of seconds by building an elevator.

Steps

Creating the Base

  1. Dig a hole. The hole should be 4 x 2, and 2 blocks deep. This is where we will start to build our redstone elevator.
  2. Put blocks on one corner. Put cobblestones that is arrow-shaped on one of the corner. Add another block on top of the “point” end of the arrow.
  3. Create the base of the elevator. Put a red stone torch on both of the blocks at the end of the 4 x 2 where there are cobblestones.
    • Put a red stone dust above the remaining block.
    • Put a repeater on the space after the cobblestone with the red stone torch and another repeater on the space after the block with the red stone dust. Make sure that the repeater after the block with the red stone dust is higher than 1 block (on the left), compared with the other one.
    • Connect both repeaters with red stone dust.

Creating the Elevator

  1. Put a repeater on the ground beside the lower cobblestone. Add a block beside the repeater and above the cobblestone; you will notice that the repeater you just placed will light up.
    • Place another cobblestone on the other side of the repeater that you just recently placed then add two cobblestones placed right beside each other on the side of the red stone torch.
  2. Add cobblestones on top of both the cobblestones located at the edge. Add them up as high as you want the elevator to be. Make sure that they are of the same height.
    • Put a cobblestone on top of the red stone torch that is on ground level.
    • Add another repeater on the side opposite from the side with the previous repeater. You will see that the repeater you've placed will light up.
  3. Place a cobblestone above the red stone that is placed on ground level. Place another two blocks above it and repeat it until you reach the top end of your elevator.
    • Repeat it on the other side but on alternate place compared with the opposite so that it looks like a giant zipper.
    • Add repeaters on the spaces facing outward.
  4. Place two blocks beside the cobblestone on the ground level and the other cobblestone with the red torch, also above the dug-up ground. Place blocks on top of it until the two blocks are the same height as what you want the elevator to be.
  5. Place cobblestones in alternating zigzag shape between the previous zipper-like pattern. Do this on the back side of the tall wall that you've just built. Fill the spaces on the topmost layer of your elevator with cobblestones.
    • While still on the back of the wall, put in red stone torches directly on the wall on the spaces that are left, which are supposed to be also in zigzag pattern.
  6. Put cobblestones to cover up the red stone repeaters on the front side of the wall. After that, put red stone above those cobblestones that you've just placed. Put it on all of the openings on that side of the wall.
    • Put blocks beside all the spaces that has red stone on it.
    • Lastly, put red stone torches on the remaining spaces that don’t have red stone on top of it. Make sure that it is placed directly on the wall and not on top of the cobblestones.
  7. Place a block above the space between the two repeaters on the dug-up ground. Put any pressure plate above that block. Fill in the rest to cover up the dug up ground.
    • Put any type of stair beside and facing the pressure plate.
    • Place two blocks across both beside the pressure plate and the stairs.
  8. Put sticky pistons facing inward on the far end of the cobblestones on the ground. Place it until it’s as tall as what you want the elevator to be. Do the same on the other end of the structure.
    • Place any type of stairs on the sticky pistons. Test by stepping on the pressure plate. You will see that the stairs will move.
    • Destroy the stairs that won’t move and as well as other excess cobblestones. Remember that the repeater needs to be on a one tick delay.

Tips

  • All the red stone repeaters on the elevator wall must have the same number of ticks except for the ones underneath the ground.
  • Try building around it to make another structure with an elevator inside.
  • Be careful not to fall when you’re in survival mode.
