LiftBlocks

📋 Changelog — LiftBlocks

v3.0 — Current Release

New

• Added Physical Platform Elevator — a platform that moves block by block in real time up and down a shaft. No teleportation, pure physical simulation.
• Added Elevator Control Block — a single block with both up and down arrows placed on the wall beside the shaft. Replaces the old separate arrow blocks.
• Platform movement logic:
  • Right-click Control at your floor → calls platform to you
  • Platform already at your floor → right-click sends it to the next floor above · Sneak + right-click sends it to the next floor below
  • Platform always stops 1 block below the Control Block so the panel stays visible
• Players standing on the platform ride along automatically each tick
• Mechanical sound during movement, ding sound on arrival
• Smoke particles during travel
• Movement blocked if path is obstructed by a solid block
• Cannot activate while platform is already moving

Removed

• Separate Arrow Up and Arrow Down blocks replaced by the unified Control Block

v2.4 — Intermediate Build

New

• First version of the physical platform system (experimental)
• Added Arrow Up and Arrow Down as separate blocks (later unified)
• Platform moved block by block with rider detection

v2.3

New

• Added Group Elevator — transports all players standing on top simultaneously
• Shows ✦ X players transported → Floor ~N on screen
• Cooldown applies to the entire group at once
• Added vanilla-accurate textures for all hidden elevators using real Minecraft sprite sheets

v2.2

New
