My apologies if this is supposed to go in the "Redstone Creations" forum, I couldn't decide which to put it in.
I came up with this idea, of an "Enderpearl Elevator" Where a person would simply select a floor and toss an enderpearl. This would be a much faster form of transportation then most elevators, although it is limited by height.
I have made some changes to my original design. Now instead of choosing a floor, you just enderpearl upward untill you are where you want to be. I had to change this because enderpearls stop when they hit string, this also removes the height limitation because of gravity. I have also added a way to get down.
(Go up on the left, down on the right. Sorry I didn't put signs.)
(Also, for those finding themselves stuck in a wall after enderpearling, try turning 90 degrees to the left or right before you throw the enderpearl. seems to help IMHO)
I also just realized the golden floor is 2 blocks shorter then the others...
Previous Design:
I've come up with a simple Concept Elevator with 3 Floors, You can only go up, I dont quite have the redstone ability to make it go both ways, but I'm sure you smart people could find a way.
It works by using pistons to determine which floor the person ends up on, and the new tripwires to detect when to put a floor for them to land on.
Here are some pictures, although im not 100% sure if the elevator works now. I thought i was just throwing the enderpearls at an angle and always ending up on floor 1, although i think the enderpearls are hitting the string and stopping there..
Edit: What file hosting service i should use? I dont like sharing things with my dropbox account, i feel like im giving away access to all my stuff.
