Description from the author on Hangar

ZyElevators

Jump to go up, sneak to go down. Lightweight block elevators for Paper and Folia.

Place two or more elevator blocks in the same vertical line. Stand on one and jump to travel to the next elevator above, or sneak to go down to the next one below.

  • Folia support. Everything runs on the right region thread, so it works on Folia as well as on regular Paper servers.
  • Any solid block can be an elevator. Wool by default, but you can use concrete, quartz, shulker boxes or any block you like. Only blocks placed from an elevator item become elevators, so normal blocks keep working as usual.
  • No database or data files. Elevators are saved inside the world's chunks.
  • Independent lines. By default an elevator only connects with elevators of the same block, so you can build several lines with different colors side by side.
  • Craftable. 8 blocks around an ender pearl (configurable), with a permission to restrict it.
  • Protected. Explosions, pistons, fire, endermen and hoppers can't break, move or use elevators, and they drop as elevators when broken.
  • Safe destinations. Skips elevators without two free blocks above them.
  • Configurable. Distance, cooldown, directions, sound (custom resource pack sounds too), particle colors and disabled worlds.
  • Translatable. English and Spanish included, using MiniMessage. Block names show in each player's own game language.
  1. Get elevators. Craft them with 8 blocks of the same type (for example white wool) around an ender pearl, or give them with /zye give [amount].
  2. Place two or more in the same vertical line, with at least two free blocks above each one.
  3. Jump on an elevator to go up, sneak to go down.
  1. Put ZyElevators-.jar in your plugins folder.
  2. Restart the server.
  3. Optional: edit plugins/ZyElevators/config.yml and run /zye reload.

Requirements: Paper or Folia 1.21.4 or newer (tested on 1.21.4, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2) and Java 21.
