Water Elevator

I now understand water elevator better and I made one myself. I will post a picture later.

One insight I had recently was this. There is water source block. And water flow block. If you have a 2x2x1 water pool, infinite water, and dig down one layer. The layer below the top layer contains water flow blocks.

The key to a good water elevator is to have water source blocks instead of water flow blocks. Water flow blocks have downward velocity associated with them.

I just saw a very elegant elevator design from Etho. I love his videos.
