How it works

The Stair Master builds a staircase as it climbs. Set one redstone torch in one of the four signature slots to point the climb. Wake it, and the pattern is spent as it reshapes into a U of redstone, opening toward the torch. The rune reshapes into a waiting U. Each block placed at its heart climbs at 45°, 3 wide.

Place blocks at the heart of the U. Each block is carried out to the end of the stair, which rises one block for each block out. Each block spends one charge. The stairs climb (15 charges left).

The stair's width is one plus twice the Tier, from 3 blocks at Tier 1 to 15 at Tier 7, and it can climb up to 64 blocks out.

Good to know

• Only one signature slot may hold a torch. Place exactly one redstone torch in a signature slot to point the climb.
• Breaking every wire of the U ends the station.
• It stays cold inside a Danger Ward.

Tips

Place stairs at the heart, facing up the climb, for a staircase you can walk.
