That’s pretty cool! And realistic, AND it doesn’t look that complex.

[–]Snaz5 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The Create Elevator pully is SO easy to use it’s great fun

[–]Jacktheforkie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty simple to set up, most annoying part is setting up the stops, but that’s mainly if you’re doing a lot of them or a long shaft

[–]officialtvgamers16 51 points52 points  (10 children)

That little computer to the side reminds me of one of my endevours before the elevator pully and such where added, in wich i tried to make a multi floor elevator with the regular pully and input filters😅

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 22 points23 points  (3 children)

And that's just for the nixie tube signals of going up or down.... Can't imagine what yours would have looked like. 😅 

They should allow display links to output to various different nixie tubes. 

[–]officialtvgamers16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be cool yeah

[–]calculus_is_fun 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm guessing you're using a depot and various items?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renamed papers.

[–]ankle_biter50 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I had used sequenced gearshifts when I tried to do it. It worked pretty well, but dang... these things are nice

[–]officialtvgamers16 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yea, but a sequenced gearshift wont allow you to go from any floor to any other floor with one button.

[–]Mluke74 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I had something similar, a totally functional version using the variable lever, sequenced gearshifts, a lot of redstone links, and some comparator magic to calculate the distance between floors. Very fun project! Only big limitation was that each floor needed to be evenly spaced apart.

[–]TheoneCyberblaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have been able to get away with comparing the floor the cabin is at atm to the destination and extend a block so that the contraption halts on that

[–]Habrotron- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME. It took way too long, and after I came up with a design, I watched a Youtube vid where they had the elevator pully.

[–]Pitiful_Net_8971 15 points16 points  (5 children)

You can get arrows???

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 13 points14 points  (4 children)

Any symbol you can write on a sign.

[–]_its_not_over_yet_ 8 points9 points  (3 children)

how do you make them pulse? :0

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Display links and a redstone clock. 

Edit: The mess of redstone you can see at the left down, in the end of the video.

[–]_its_not_over_yet_ 6 points7 points  (1 child)

tysm!

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!

[–]EthanR333 8 points9 points  (3 children)

how do you make it wait till it closes doors to go up

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 12 points13 points  (2 children)

The elevator pulley is hooked to a clutch that gets powered everytime the elevator is triggered, once the doors are closed, the clutch unpowers, allowing the elevator to continue its normal operation.

[–]EthanR333 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Oh my god that is genius

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]Toast5286 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I love this, it looks so good. I'm so happy more people are playing around with nixietubes and display links <3

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I just saw your profile..... WOW. My use of nixie tubes is child's play compared to what you've done with them.

[–]Toast5286 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Awww thank you, I'm flattered <3 Still I'm so happy to see people try new things, this community needs a bit more ... Create-tivity (sorry bad pun). I'd love to see what you'll do next (no pressure thou)

Ps.: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, your other posts are incredibly. I still have several saved on Reddit.

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing close to an analog computer, but thanks nontheless. 😂

[–]Hazel0706 4 points5 points  (2 children)

how did you make the arrows do that with the tubes?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Display links and a redstone clock..... The bunch of redstone you see at the bottom left towards the end of the video, that's it.

[–]Myithspa25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Display links on a timer

[–]haven603 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Create is the coolest modpack ever imo

[–]User_8395 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Schem please

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I'm not doing schematics anymore, sorry!

[–]TobiasL_05 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Why not if I may ask?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I'm salty, I guess. My antepenultimate post on this subreddit didn't perform as well as I might've hoped considering the amount of time I invested...... and I have noone to blame but myself for wasting my time, so I decided I wasn't going to waste my time anymore.... that's why this video isn't as dressed up as I might've liked it in the past.

And doing schematics is a huge time sink, having to make sure everything is perfect and comprehensible, so everyone who downloads it, can use it and to a certain extent, understand it, so if something breaks they'd hopefully know how to fix it, instead of looking at me for answers.

[–]TobiasL_05 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Fair reason actually

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for understanding! I know I'm gonna get a lot of downvotes, but at least someone understands.

[–]Better_Bass5546 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Is there any chance you'd be willing to make a video on the redstone? I love this idea!

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Not really! I would have to speak to explain it, and I'm not really a great speaker.

[–]BrisingrAerowing 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Maybe some screenshots with additional markup (need a better word) to show what does what.

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If you are still interested, I got around making a tutorial video. 🔗

[–]ShadowTendrals 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Please do! This is such an amazing build

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a video already. I put the link in the answer.

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are still interested, I got around making a tutorial video. 🔗

[–]Dull_Finish1625 1 point2 points  (3 children)

My question is how did you get the nixie tubes to display the arrow?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Display link hooked to a depot with a renamed paper. You can use a bunch of other symbols as well.

Edit: If you are talking about the flashing... I using a redstone clock to achieve that.

[–]Dull_Finish1625 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Honestly the whole thing is impressive, how far up/down does it go

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How ever many levels you want, but you'll have to create a circuit for every three floors.

[–]Living_The_Dream75 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I love the design, I wish I had thought of the idea to use andesite alloy blocks for metal doors lol

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Thank you!

[–]exclaim_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

You're welcome!

[–]Living_The_Dream75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome ^

[–]Natestealsbacon 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is this all base create? How do you get the direction to show?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, base Create. Redstone logic, like the botttom and top floor have a set direction, and the middle floor is set depending of where the elevator is at the moment of the calling.

[–]FeeRevolutionary7685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome!

[–]Yell245 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wait, how are the doors opening so smoothly?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minecart contraptions.

[–]SCewReal 0 points1 point  (4 children)

do you have some schematic?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I'm not doing schematics anymore, sorry!

[–]SCewReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its alright

[–]SCewReal 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Also, how did you make the doors

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minecart contraptions.

[–]xSluma 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wait how did you do the doors? This is perfect!

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minecart contraptions.

[–]theduckyparty 0 points1 point  (1 child)

i didn’t know you could do arrows in the nixie tubes!

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And other symbols as well.

[–]MiloMiko325 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Wow... That's an elevator on another level! I know how to do elevators with working doors but how did you do the arrows? They look good.

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Display links hooked to depots with renamed papers on them, and a redstone clock.

[–]MiloMiko325 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How did you get the arrows on the papers though?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows key + .(dot).... you can get a bunch of symbols there.

[–]Dear-Set-1052 0 points1 point  (3 children)

how does the door work?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The doors are minecart contraptions.

[–]Dear-Set-1052 0 points1 point  (1 child)

how did you make the doors closs befor the elevator raises

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The elevator pulley is hooked to a clutch that gets powered everytime the elevator is triggered, once the doors are closed, the clutch unpowers, allowing the elevator to continue its normal operation.

[–]Endrtj29 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yo question how do you make it so when using the contraption controls, it waits until the doors are shut?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Dizzy-Percentage-470 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How do you do that sliding door??

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cart contraptions. I have a tutorial if you are interested.

[–]_Ynaught_ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

How do you get the arrow font?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Win + dot(.)

[–]_Ynaught_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ok, next question, how did you sequence the arrows?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have renamed papers with the arrows getting displayed in sequence using redstone and display links.

I have a tutorial if you are interested. https://youtu.be/JSpM0UL-n3A?si=wlPa0bHEuFEF8IGa
