Bouncing on elevator

[stryker103]

Found that for some reason (yet to find a cause) my character sometimes rapidly bobs/jumps up and down on both stationary and moving platforms. This only occurs maybe 50% of the time it seems and as i said, im yet to narrow down a reason. Dont know if its a known issue (P.S. i tried to take a short video but couldnt make it small enough to post here sorry)

can you send some screenshots of the platforms you are on? maybe I can try to get it replicated on my end, also, do you have view bobbing on or off?

[stryker103]

Just a normal platform with laboratory blocks from chisel (pic below) Destroying and recreating the elevator seems to have fixed it for the moment and im unable to begin bouncing again. I initially thought it might be some interaction with flight (angel ring) but it doesnt seem to affect it now and at the time of writing this im not bouncing on it.

Hmm, let me know if it starts back again then, I can try to look into things on my end, is this on single player or multiplayer?

I should probably point out, that you don't actually need to have any elevator blocks in the main structure of the elevator, they are only needed to be in your inventory when you make it.

Singleplayer. Ok interesting, there werent many youtube guides but the one i watched said it required one

[Thutmose]

ya, that one used the older creation method, that required that block, after swapping to the linker-based creation method it is no longer needed, at some point in the future, I will probably re-purpose that block for something else (maybe for a way to disassemble/reassemble elevators via redstone or something?), and then make another item to use as the elevator creation mechanic (as an item rather than a block to prevent the current confusion)

[stryker103]

Ahhh right, Given the lack of videos on it that was the most modern one id found, and whilst it used the linker still had the block in it (whether required or not) Perhaps have it as used for adding functionality in the elevator (maybe chests you can interact with if it is above/next to one of those blocks?) though as it is an entity that is probably very hard/impossible to do? Unless you do a similar thing to pack animals where right clicking on the entity with chests registered/on it opens the inventory. If you could have it so hoppers could insert into a stationary elevator i feel people could do some really interesting things with that (currently RFTools elevator does a nearly identical moving people function whilst also letting you customise floor names/gui etc with screens and the open blocks ones let you go instantly) Further question, can you activate an elevator with redstone? Ie redstone signal on that floors panel calls it to that floor? Also have you considered making a discord? Discussing features etc seems like more a discord thing than github :)

Also im getting the bouncing again after relogging the world. Im going to recreate the elevator again and see if that fixes it for the duration of my current login
