	:A vertical transmission circuit can be made by combining both torch tower and redstone ladder, resulting in a ladder with maximum height and minimum delay, as seen in the schematic. Additionally, the first torch can be moved to the middle replacing the top slab and the torch with redstone wire, and adding another top slab before the second torch, which adds one block of height (as seen in the picture).		:A vertical transmission circuit can be made by combining both torch tower and redstone ladder, resulting in a ladder with maximum height and minimum delay, as seen in the schematic.

			:A [[Minecraft:calibrated sculk sensor]] can sense a relatively specific vibration occurring up to 16 blocks above or below, such as a [[Minecraft:trapdoor]] or [[Minecraft:note block]] activated by other circuits. Insulating the sensor with [[Minecraft:wool]] allows it to "aim", see {{slink\|Tutorial:Sculk redstone\|Vertical transmission}}. A well-insulated sensor may not even need calibrating to any specific vibration. Multiple sensors can be chained in order to extend the signal any distance.

			:Sculk sensors can also be used without insulation, but each context where this is done successfully is likely to be specific to that context.

	;Observer wire		;Observer wire
	Observers can also be used to create a vertical ladder. Each observer carries block updates to the next observer up or down. A more advanced observer wire can be made by alternating, in upward order, observers, solid blocks, and either hoppers (only in Java Edition) or Droppers (in any edition). Each observer powers the dropper/hopper above it through the solid block, which changes its block state, activating the observer above it. The blocks can be removed to make a wire that is slower but does not power anything next to itself. Any of these can go horizontally or downward as well. There is also a more efficient downward method that goes (in downward order) observer, solid block, redstone dust, solid block, hopper/dropper.		:Observers can also be used to create a vertical ladder.

	Starting from Java Edition 1.16, a [[Minecraft:Wall]] with a tall center post (due to a protruding wall block over it) causes all walls directly below it to also have a tall center post. In Java Edition, this change can be detected by observers, allowing for instantaneous downward transmission by moving a block over or away from the topmost wall.		:Starting from Java Edition 1.16, a [[Minecraft:Wall]] with a tall center post (due to a protruding wall block over it) causes all walls directly below it to also have a tall center post.

	[[Minecraft:Scaffolding]] provides the upward counterpart: Each scaffolding block tracks how far it is "overhanging", that is the distance from a column of scaffolding which is actually resting on a block. A trapdoor counts as support only when it is closed. Place a column of scaffolding atop a trapdoor, and also next to another scaffolding block that can support it while the trapdoor is open. When the trapdoor is closed, the column isn't overhanging at all, when the trapdoor is open it is overhanging 1 more space than its support scaffold. The difference propagates up the column, and can be detected by an observer.		:[[Minecraft:Scaffolding]] provides the upward counterpart: Each scaffolding block tracks how far it is "overhanging", that is the distance from a column of scaffolding which is actually resting on a block.

	;Observers with water		;Observers with water

	Water streams can carry information up and down. For a slow downward signal, a dispenser can place and pick up a water block (or even a lava block), and an observer can detect the changes in the flow downstream. For upward signals, a column of water source blocks can have the solid block below it swapped out by pistons; switching to a magma or soul sand block instantly propagates a bubble column up the water column, while switching to a normal block removes the bubbles; an observer watching one of the water blocks detects these changes.		:Water streams can carry information up and down.

	:A [[Minecraft:dropper]] can toss items down a shaft or into a water stream; the items can then land on a wooden [[Minecraft:Pressure Plate\|pressure plate]], or be picked up by a hopper and then detected by a comparator. It is also possible to launch items upward by various means, but that is generally less reliable, as controlling their exact path can be tricky.		:A [[Minecraft:dropper]] can toss items down a shaft or into a water stream; the items can then land on a wooden [[Minecraft:Pressure Plate\|pressure plate]], or be picked up by a hopper and then detected by a comparator.
