Escalators are multi-block structures that move players at a faster speed than sprinting. They are mainly built to go upwards or downwards, but they can also be built horizontally to create a moving walkway.
Obtaining
Breaking
Escalators require a Pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. It has a hardness of 2.

Usage
Building the escalator can be tricky. In the following series of images, the cursor points to the block where the next block should be placed against.
1. Obtain the escalator item and place it on the ground. This will be the bottom escalator landing.
2. Walk around to the back of the escalator landing and place down another piece as shown.
3. If building a moving walkway, simply repeat the step above and skip all steps below.
4. If building an escalator, point the cursor at the black handrail of the previous piece. Place down another piece as shown.
5. Repeat as many times as desired.
6. To finish the escalator, point the cursor at the white step of the previous piece. Place down another piece as shown.
7. Point the cursor at the white step of the previous piece. Create the top landing of the escalator by placing down one last piece as shown.
8. (Optional) Right click the escalator step (the moving part) with a brush to switch the direction of movement.
