    In this version, its buggy.

    This mod spams your chat with code whenever a function happens. This includes the start of every game and every elevator interaction.

    Sometimes, getting out of the elivator will make your pov 1 block short so it looks like your 1 block tall. Going into third person shows that your 2 blocks tall but your first person view will only show you as 1 block tall.

    Leaving the game results in a crash with this mod as its primary reason. Appon rejoining the game, the chat is spammed 24-7 with the function " on_activate() " This has now killed my game with 2FPS and made it unplayble so I will have to uninstall it until their is a soltion.

    Uninstalling this mod eliminated every issue including chat spam, crashes, and 2FPS. (just to say that it wasnt another mod with this issue)

    Decent attempt, but let down by bugs

    This is certainly an interesting attempt at an elevator mod - it tries much harder to be realistic than any of the others that were available at the time, and generally succeeds at that (the smooth motion is especially nice, and I haven't seen the animated hoist ropes in any other elevator mod yet).

    Unfortunately there are a few issues that prevent it from being much use:

    • Shutting down the server with an elevator built results in a crash
    • Trying to ride up results in falling through upon arrival
    • Lots of debugging spam in the chat when anything happens
    • Queue system is a bit unrealistic - it serves calls in the order the buttons were pressed, instead of as it arrives at each floor

    Despite all that, it's still a fun mod to play with in singleplayer sometimes.

    Very cool and perfect for teaching little ones about elevators.

    But the problem is:

    1. The game will crash at the end of the game. Because the minetest cannot serialize the userdata type.
    2. The elevator won't work and may crash the game when you start the game again
