Pulley

Jump to: navigation, search

The Pulley represents a means of converting mechanical power into vertical motion. It has an inventory into which Rope may be placed, and if left unpowered, the Pulley will slowly dispense this rope downward until it either exhausts its inventory, or until a solid object is encountered.

Conversely, when a Pulley is powered mechanically (through powered axles attached to its sides), it retracts the rope back into its inventory and raises any attached upward-facing Anchor (and in turn, any platforms it may be connected to in a 5x5x5 area around it).

Lastly, if a redstone signal is applied to a pulley, it acts as a brake, causing it to stop any motion whatsoever, whether that be upward or downward.

  • Traps

Keep in Mind

  • It can only lift platforms in a 5x5x5 area around the Anchor
  • It can only lift platforms and anchors but rails and redstone may be placed on a platform and will be moved with it.
  • It can only be powered from the sides, and not from the top
