Thank you! I've now used this tower 3 times and modified it a bit(swapped every other solid block with a repeater leading into the dropper and used redstone dust as opposed to torches on the other side. Couldn't get it to work otherwise) but everytime I build it I watch this video again just to refresh my memory on how to get it right. They run silent and effectively. Thanks to you and Mumbo Jumbo I'm finally learning about the glories of redstone.
I’m loving this series! ❤️ These types of builds are *perfect* for my world since I’m still a bit of a noob lol. Have you ever thought about doing like a Redstone for beginners video? I can totally build designs from other people’s tutorials, but a lot of the components are still a mystery to me. Comparators for example, I just done understand what they do!! 😂
Thanks for the explanation. It really helps for us that haven't been playing minecraft that long and are confused with why people place Redstone certain ways.
Thanks mate Redstone has always confused me a bit and most tutorials just show you what to do without how it works. Yours have helped me immensely in this way.
You explain things pretty well. I watched your item filter video half a dozen times and built it a couple times. I think I got the hang of it. Think I’ll make learning this my next project. Thanks and keep it up👍🏻
The info was kinda annoying cause I used to Mumbo jumbos super quick easy to understand videos I like. This was cool with the into but kinda long xD (I was in a rush to build it)
Dude I have been using a Redstone elevator kind of like this for years and I didn't even full understand how it worked until you explained how each step worked! Thank you for such an amazing explanation!
Awesome explanation. I am just starting to learn Redstone and this video really helped me understand why I placed certain block in certain places following tutorials. So far it seems like you are arranging the tutorial in progression with the prior video, if so, that's awesome. Introduce one new thing in a video, then go into detail about it in the next one makes it real easy to understand. I never knew why or how a clock worked until now. Thank you and can't wait for the next one.
Always need item elevators thats for sure. I use GLASS ELEVATOR 90% of the time. Simple, fun to watch, and can be put anywhere with 3x3 space. The cool thing is items will shoot out from any of the single blocks you break in the center of the 3x3 pillar.
Do these still work? When Skippy did a video on them years ago I put a couple on my world, but then Bedrock broke them (at least it did in my world.) I loved how smooth they were and it was a bonus being able to see the items travel upwards.
@@mermaidelina Yeah they still work. I tried showing a short IMGUR clip from a 2018 realm when i figured out they worked again, but seems my reply was deleted. Must be because I left a link
[FIX] - I was having issues with this design... I replaced all of the redstone torches alternating upwards with dust, then changed every other solid block with redstone dust as well, and now it works perfectly.
Omg this is just the comment I needed to find!!! There was like the second dropper for me that’s was failing and I couldn’t know why! Thank you now I know how to fix!!
Dude you rock, I know this vid is old but I was having issues with another item elevator design where the items were staying in the droppers and then I tried yours, and boom every item is going through the system of my auto sorter now.
Great job explaining all the components and their interactions with each other. It’s nice to copy someone’s farm to kinda learn redstone but having someone like you Prowl explaining the logic of placement and usage of each individual piece makes learning more intuitive. Thank you for the video!
been rewatching this over and over scared id mess it up. but again your tutorials pretty much lead by the hand and explain well what is happening. i made a 4 store impulse item sorter and needed a way other then soul sand to item elevator. this worked well. thank you!
Thank you for this video. I had a very short dropper elevator that wasn't working. Your explanation was perfect and I was able to troubleshoot it and get it running properly. ❤️
Hi thanks, this elevator is actually very good it solved my other one which clogged very fast. Also I did not have to pause your video, at the end I could reproduce it in my world. Your explanations were very thorough.
1.12.2: use an observer facing upward above comparator, above that put redstone instead of redstone torch, above that put observer, above that put redstone, etc. This replaces the blocks of netherite that are normally horizontally between the droppers and observers. This isn't a perfect system (i get 62 out of a stack of 64) but it is a silent version of methods used for 1.12.2. I cover mine with carpet at ground level.

@@Prowl8413 sorry I was at work. I built silent's and it worked fine with the water. Then I switched to the item elevator an d all of a sudden on the forth lift it gets jammed up behind the chests about 2 down. I have been playing with it for 2 weeks trying to make it work.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to make one of these for hours and had to keep rebuilding them. Your video was the easiest one by far and the only one I got to work. You just earned yourself a new sub!
Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I needed and explaining how it works is very helpful as well. Way to help this old mind try to understand why, not just how to put it together. Woohoo!!
i love this video, you explain everything, I have now subscribed to you! keep up the amazing work! thanks for explaining it all, i love learning new things about redstone stuff and minecraft!
i just combined this item elevator with my zombified pigland spawning gold/xp farm, and an item sorter with an auto blast furnace for the swords. thank you for the guide, i was getting annoyed with building this all without a how to guide to help with this part.
Thanks a lot. The detailed explanations of redstone logic really help to integrate what I'm seeing. Way better than a copy and paste redstone contraption!
Soo... you will need to have items in the lower dropper to have the whole thing powered.. so there are items that get stuck.. this wouldnt be a problem if you use it for farms but.. for sorting applications this is horrible
@John Murray Yeah, sorry about that. I’m realized how it sounded right after I sent it. The constant clicking of a dropper gets annoying after awhile so I love these silent ones.
I've spent about two hours trying to get these elevators to work. Tried so many different tutorials but nothing is working. Everything works for this one up until having to transfer power through the observers. Gets stuck on the third block. Have retried three times, and followed every exact direction. I have no idea what is wrong
On my Paper server, this doesn't work with redstone torches between the observers. Since it can use any block update, I decided to use redstone lamps instead. This had an added benefit of looking more flush. Great tutorial! Thanks!
IMPORTANT READ IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS If any one is having trouble with the back up in the second dropper all you have to do to fix it is, switch the comparator back to normal (the light in the back should turn off) and find where there is a piece of redstone next to the comparator. Then you place a block in front of the redstone ,( which is next to the first dropper.) Then play redstone on that block and the problem should be fix
Love it. Thanks for the explanations. Have a snag though. If it backs up and the bottom dropper fills, the system locks up even after the chest it feeds into its emptied. Clearing a spot in the bottom hopper restarts it, but if love to add a failsafe to prevent it. Any ideas?
I have never really understood Redstone. I really appreciate how you brokw it down. Time to make a stack observers and try it out. Is there a height limit?
Just a question why did you put the blocks in between the observers and droppers? Why not put the observer right against the dropper and save more space?
For all the Java players like myself, replace the redstone torches with redstone lamps as a temporary solution and the whole thing should work. If there's any other block or something of the sort that activates when the obersever sends a signal and the top ovserver sees the change than feel free to suggest as i am a very new player in the game.
This is almost exactly what I needed for my underground pumpkin and melon farm. Is there a way to silence the elevator once it's finished? When the last item goes through it makes several fast clicking noises and I'd like it to be completely silent.
if you do all the redstone to the side rather than behind... will it still work? trying to add it to an auto farm and obvs don't want the water to move the torches n that.....
I made this connected to a kelp smoker XP farm and I’m getting a bit of lag with this elevator constantly pushing one piece of dried kelp up at a time. How can I set it to only push items up when the bottom dropper gets full?
ive built this design exactly and it works fine, except that it's far from silent? items traveling through have sound going all the way up the droppervator and i cant figure out why
No need for observers. Use glass behind droppers with dust to tower up and power all droppers. Its silent but will leave 1 item in top droppers always. It's good 👌 (edit just testing it again and it's not even leaving an item)
If you just use glass with dust connecting the droppers its silent. Redstone signal is not broken when glass is diagonally to it. Wish I could explain better but hopefully you knew it already.
Seriously you’re next level at explaining. You deserve loads more views and subs! So glad I found your channel!!

Does not appear to work in Java. Restone torches cannot be deactivated by the observer. In java, a torch need more than one tick to turn off.
i use restone lamps
its still silent
red stone tracks may work too, it if does, probably not light updating to lag the server
Ahah ahah how the turn tables

It does. Make sure you got everything in the right orientation and position.

your so underrated. your awesome.
It's not silent
Subbed for this video, love the fact you actually explained why it happens so I don't have to google a video every time I make it in the future!
tip: if you have enough resources, use powered railsinstead, in my experience it's better.
Great vid Prowl. Very well explained. Thank you.
Soo... you will need to have items in the lower dropper to have the whole thing powered.. so there are items that get stuck.. this wouldnt be a problem if you use it for farms but.. for sorting applications this is horrible
What is the benefit of using a dropper elevator instead of a bubble column?
2 wide vs 3 wide, silent droppers. Thats about it :)
Silence my dude.
Edit: silence is the benefit. I wasn’t telling you to be silent. Sorry if that came across wrong.
Mabatch it did lol and thanks for the info

Is it better than water elevators? Does the redstone cause lag in servers? Pls answer asap..
Thanking in advance...
Thanks man helped me alot
Just a question why did you put the blocks in between the observers and droppers? Why not put the observer right against the dropper and save more space?
Because if it powers the dropper directly it also fires the dropper above and below that one and makes a lot of extra noise and lag
Prowl8413 got it I’m still learning redstone so thanks for the explanation.
I should have brought it up in the video :)
Hey prowl can I need A LOT of black stone is there a way to get them more efficiently?
Piglin bartering when the next update comes out
I hope you know that you don't need to use black stone blocks to do this item elevator. You could use almost any solid block.
holroy I know that. I was just asking if he can make a black stone farm ( not for this project )
noice intro
I was gonna say there was a simplier solution but I realized that this was on bedrock and my design only works in Java.
try using redstone lamps instead of torches
still silent
Great tutorial I never knew how it worked or how it was build

I think also noteblocks work? I'll try and see.
Okay noteblocks don't really work, and also you should put the repeater on 4 ticks so that no items will remain in the droppers.

Uhm mine makes noise did I do something wrong all the items go through then it goes click click click click click
Still looks broken on bedrock, all the items input aren't making it up the elevator. Some start to get stuck a few droppers in.
Hey great video. Is there a reason for redstone torches? Can you also use redstone dust? Or powered rails? Or even redstone lamps for a fun effect?
Anything that would set off the observers
Thx i will use it for my item sorter
is this gonna be on the test professor?

I made this connected to a kelp smoker XP farm and I’m getting a bit of lag with this elevator constantly pushing one piece of dried kelp up at a time. How can I set it to only push items up when the bottom dropper gets full?
Love you
Why not just a soul-sand column with a dispenser at the bottom?
They’re 3 wide this is 2 wide. Bit more convenient for compact storge systems
is this java or bedrock
Doesn't work in 1.18 Java for me. The redstone torches don't update so the items only travel up to the third dropper.
same but im not sure how to fix
but, it is definitely not silent...
I thought it was supposed to be silent
Mine keeps getting stuck on the second from the bottom dropper. If there's not something in the bottom dropper the signal isn't getting sent up?
ive built this design exactly and it works fine, except that it's far from silent? items traveling through have sound going all the way up the droppervator and i cant figure out why
No need for observers. Use glass behind droppers with dust to tower up and power all droppers. Its silent but will leave 1 item in top droppers always. It's good 👌 (edit just testing it again and it's not even leaving an item)
"Silent"?
Is there a one tile wide version?
Anyone else watch this hoping it was an item elevator that made no noise?
If you just use glass with dust connecting the droppers its silent. Redstone signal is not broken when glass is diagonally to it. Wish I could explain better but hopefully you knew it already.
It leaves 1 item in the final top dropper though 👌
So, the torch tower didnt sequence for me. I just traded them out for observers and it worked great. for some reason only some of them make noise
How is this silent?
when ta chest gets put on top of the dropper its silent the noise it from the droper going into water
