What's the Fastest Vertical Travel in Minecraft?

What's the fastest vertical travel in Minecraft? What's the fastest Minecraft Elevator? How fast can you travel in Minecraft?

These are all questions that keep me up at night! So in today's Mumbo minecraft video, we do some Minecraft science experiments, and work out the fastest way to travel in Minecraft 1.16. We have Minecraft water elevators, Minecraft TNT player launchers, Minecraft Ender pearl stasis chambers, and riptide trident elevators.

Just reading through the comments - turns out 'Skip the tutorial' did an update on my original list! With that being said - a few of the fastest methods (Including the 2 fastest) weren't featured in theirs.
However they do cover a large variety of different alternative methods I didn't mention. Here's the video:

Thanks for the shoutout Mumbo! Great vid!

Nothing is faster than running back to your stuff after dying

Sloweset method: Bed ladder. Like the minecart elevator, but you have to wait a day every time you travel up because you can only sleep at night.

Mumbo: “...the horse cake staircase is included in that list. Who in their right mind would want to build that in survival?”
Sure it would be pointless to build but it's SUPER fast

I think mumbo has forgotten about the burnsticks ... this a reminder

*gasp*

"-but also incredibly short-lived"

Me: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Didn't specify if "vertical" was up or down, so gravity is also quick

"what's the fastest method of travel"

Me, something of a scientist myself:

“The horse cake staircase is not included in this list because what person in their right mind would want to build that in survival?”

Me: *slowly raises hand*

Mumbo: “I’m practically breaking the sound barrier”
*is traveling at 40 m/s

"Fastest vertical travel"


*stampy rocket ship*

"Who on earth would want to build a horse cake staircase in survival?"
*laughs in Pixlriffs*

Can we just appreciate for a minute how mumbo gets straight into the point of his videos instead of wasting time about talking about crap?

"Fast way to travel vertically"

Hermitcraft challenges challenge:
Call hermits by the other parts of their username.

For example:
FalseSymmetry - Symmetry
MumboJumbo - Jumbo
GoodTimesWithScar - GoodTimes

"...it took 50.5 seconds, and that's not fast"

*says the man who literally spent over 12 hours in a row just mining*

It’s impressive seeing him go up ladders without falling.
