Build a soul sand bubble tube that carries items up, then race it.

Hauling loot upstairs by hand? Never again. Fire it up a bubbling tube straight to the roof.

What you’ll build

Build a tall glass tube on soul sand, fill it with water and watch the bubbles roar upward. Add a dropper at the bottom to launch items to the roof, invent a catcher for the top, then race the elevator against carrying things up the stairs.

Finish line: Your bubble elevator fires items up to the roof, and you know whether it beats the stairs.

Bonus challenge: Build a magma block tube beside it so items go back down. Now you have a two-way delivery service!

You’ll need

  • Soul sand
  • Glass
  • Water buckets
  • A dropper
  • A button
  • A timer

You choose

  • My elevator's name
  • Tube height: ___ blocks
  • My bet: the elevator beats the stairs by ___ s

Stuck?

  • Bubbles stop partway up? One block isn't a water source: pour a bucket into that layer again.
  • Items sinking? Soul sand pushes up; magma blocks pull down. Check the bottom block.
  • The dropper must face into the water, or items pop out the wrong way.
