The only version I've ever seen that appears to work consistently on server is this ugly-as-sin pressure plate style:

You can find a lot of videos of that kind of elevator out there, and it's what I would propose using. It's very compact and resource efficient. While it's perhaps not nice enough for me to put in my own base (I have high standards for my in-house redstone devices), I think it would be the best choice for a space needle design. Since it's up-only, it requires a plunge pool to descend quickly.

I do enjoy massive redstone structures, especially the ones that make lots of noise. But it seems all piston elevators are buggy in SMP. What about a boat/minecart elevator? It isn't as fancy as a piston elevator, but it's less troublesome.

If you enjoy massive redstone structures I'll pay you to finish the stadium scoreboard.

I'll take care of it if I can have the leftover redstone.

From our prior conversation I take that to mean Mega Mob Spawner: One, or more, of each type.

That's a project that's on my to-do list, but it wasn't why I asked. I just tend to use a ton of redstone in general. I like to automate everything I can, just for fun. The stuff I build these days tends to use a lot of repeaters, and each repeater uses up 3 redstone dust, so I go through it quickly. I've reclaimed about two stacks of repeaters by scrapping my elevator, but I'm still low on the actual dust.

You just wanted the redstone? Take it, it's yours. It doesn't take too much for me to wire my cities with power.

Bukkit has released a beta build for 1.4.2. While it is still got some bugs, the team proclaim them to be relatively minor and for the overall build to be stable. As such, I am going to upgrade the server to that version tonight. The server will be offline for a short while when I do this, and I may be rebooting it several times to test any plugin compatibility issues that arise.

[edit] The server is now running 1.4.2. Please let me know if you see any bugs. FYI, the current release of Bukkit has this note on it:

Monsters, villagers, etc. using portals (added in Minecraft 1.4) has been temporarily disabled.
