I'm on a prison server where there is no redstone. I need an elevator for my building. What is a fast non-redstone elevator? I need to be able to stop at any floor easily, and I don't want it to be a hassle to use. Thanks.

What you want is probably a simple Minecart elevator, as shown by Monkeyfarm in this rather old video:

Start on the bottom floor. Place a single ladder 5 blocks up against a wall. Go up and place blocks (I recommend bottom half-slabs) around the block above the ladder. Now place a block, a rail and a Minecart on top of the ladder, and break the cart.

Repeat this pattern with a distance of 4 blocks. To get up, stand below the Minecart, look up, and hold right-click, teleporting from cart to cart. To get down, simply jump. To get out on any floor, face the wall the ladder is on and hold forward, while exiting your Minecart. You should land on the ladder holding the Minecart, and can walk/jump out easily.

What I would suggest is the Boat Elevator. Since wood is usually really easy to acquire and works nearly the same way minecarts do in terms of riding ability.

This video explains how this concept works

Basically if you have a boat underwater and you click on it, it will push you back onto the nearest land, but if you remove the land nearby and only leave the block you want it to push you onto then it can push you upwards.

Here is a picture for reference: The glass ground is there because they also can't push you onto glassenter image description here
