What kind of MOD is this?
“Car Elevator” is a MOD in the Crafting category by author FREIZE1T, and it appears to add large elevator blocks that can carry a whole vehicle up and down. It offers sizes even larger than the existing elevator provided for the vanilla 4×4 truck, making it a good fit for anyone who wants to move vehicles and supplies between multiple floors of a base.
Main features
According to the description, the following variations seem to be available.
- Three width sizes: three types at 4 blocks wide, 5 blocks wide, and 6 blocks wide. The 6-block-wide one is especially large at 8 blocks long.
- Easy-to-understand naming: to make them easier to search for, the 4-block-wide version is called “Bike Elevator,” the 5-block-wide version “Car Elevator,” and the 6-block-wide version “Truck Elevator.” You can choose based on the vehicle you want to carry.
- Both powered and non-powered options: for each height (size), there seems to be a “powered” version that uses electricity and a “non-powered” version that requires none. It looks handy that it can be used even at bases without a power setup.
Installation tips
It should be installable using the same steps as a typical server-side MOD, but the author’s notes specifically raise the following two points.
- Installation required on both the server and all clients: when using it in multiplayer, the same MOD apparently needs to be installed not only on the server side but also on the clients of everyone taking part. It’s a good idea to share this with the members you play with before installing.
- Don’t leave vehicles sitting on it: the author warns that leaving a vehicle on the elevator may cause issues such as the vehicle falling after some time has passed, or remaining floating in mid-air. It seems safest to take the vehicle off once you’re done using it.
Installation itself should be fine following the common MOD process: place the MOD folder in the Mods folder and restart the server and client. Please check the actual crafting method and required materials in-game.
Who is it recommended for?
- People building a large multi-story base who want to move vehicles and bikes between floors
- Players focused on building and base construction who want to set up a garage or car park on upper floors or underground
- Anyone who wants an elevator that can be used with or without a power setup
On the other hand, it’s worth being aware in advance that leaving vehicles on it may cause issues, and that everyone needs to install it. For anyone who wants to get creative with the vertical flow of their base, this seems to be a MOD that broadens your options.
