MCPE-37812Magma blocks and soulsand not working like before for elevators
We used to be able to make elevators by placing a magma block (down) or soulsand (up) at the bottom of a 1x shaft, then pouring water at the top, and having it flow all the way down to the blocks, which would then generate bubbles and you could fast travel up the soulsand elevator and down the magma block one. It was a useful feature.
Now trying the same thing, and you get only a few bubbles and no movement through the water whatsoever. What happened?

Can you provide any more information to reproduce the issue please? They seem to be working as far as I can see:

Thanks for your reply, and I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you. We were having problems with the realm in question, so I didn't check it until last night.
The bubble columns are working now. I picked up both the top water blocks (up and down elevator) and both the magma block and soulsand, then replaced everything and the elevators just started working. I had thought that maybe distance was a factor, as the columns are both over 30 blocks, but I don't know what the problem was, or even how I fixed it.
I only know that it's working now, so mark it as resolved.
