One of these days, we will actually get around to playing Minecraft, which from afar seems utterly baffling to us, but which we gather is kind of a mash-up of Dig Dug, SimCity, and Doom. But as longtime readers know, incuriosity and laziness have never been obstacles to our slapping something up on this blog.
E.g., the following three types of Minecraft elevators:
The Piston Elevator:
A sticky piston pushes the player into a wall. Since suffocation is disabled on TeamExtreme, the player is pushed upward until there is at least a two block high gap.
The Water Elevator:
Like the piston elevator it’s quite simple; the player swims upward to ascend and floats down to descend. The elevator’s design prevents suffocation.
The Minecart Elevator:
This elevator is good for tall buildings with individual floor stops. It's faster than the water elevator and the player can decide what floor to get off of.
One thing we now know about Minecraft: suffocation is apparently an ever-present danger.
