To begin, build the base. Believe it or not, a base is essential to prevent unwanted collapse. There are two sections that will be attached at the end...

This is the first of the four arms that you will build. 1- Build this. If you don't, a creeper will blow up what you've built so far. 2- Grab four y...
The next arm will be attached to this tower. After you build it, combine it with the base. And then your tower will be one red rod higher than before!...
Now it's time to build arm number 2. Notice that this arm is different than the first arm (the claw is thinner). It may look extremely similar but for...
These supports will keep the lift stabilized. If you already built or plan to build other towers supporting it (which we recommend if you make it tall...
So you've built the base... right? have you? are you sure? Ok you're sure, but are you positive you did? You may want to double-check. Steps 9 to 12 ...
