Try it

The view shows the elevator as built, without items. In the game, start its clock by placing its last block where the view puts its start block, then fill the bottom chest: every item rises into the top chest.

Build it

Download .litematic Download the design as text

The .litematic opens in Litematica (Minecraft 26.3): every block of the design in one region. The text file is the same build written as plain text, block by block.

After building it, put a chest on top of its hopper (the items to lift) and one at the top, where the view shows its output: neither is in the download or its block count.

Blocks used: dropper hopper observer

Details: how it works, measurements and properties

In depth

lifts every item of its input chest straight up into its output chest, a set number of blocks higher, as fast as a hopper feeds them

How to try it

The view shows the elevator as built, with its chests and no items. Drag to look around, pinch or scroll to zoom. Its numbers are in the measurements below.

first item	2.8 s	game ticks from the start until the first item reaches the output chest
at rest	no	whether the build comes to rest once its work is done (no: it keeps running, like an elevator's clock)
bill	5 iron, 14 quartz, 39 redstone	what its blocks cost to craft: iron, quartz, redstone, slime
