Ever sinceGenshin Impactupdate 1.5, players have been able to build and customize their own housing in the Serenitea Pot. Also known as the Teapot, Housing, Homeland, and the Realm Within, this space allows gamers to construct elaborate homes and share the designs with friends. Now, one new feature recently added to the Serenitea Pot, an elevator system, has a number ofGenshin Impactplayers very excited.
The Serenitea Pot is containedwith a gadget of the same name that can be acquired after players reach Adventure Rank 28 and complete the “A New Star Approaches” Archon Quest. After finishing both steps, the quest “A Teapot to Call Home” will be unlocked. After gaining the Serenitea Pot, players can activate it by placing it on any flat surface and entering the Teapot.

The arrival ofplayer housing inGenshin Impacthas gathered some attention, but Redditor heavycloudss8 recently kicked off a new discussion by showcasing the addition of elevators. InGenshin Impact, these elevators take the form of floating, glowing platforms that rise quickly through the air when triggered. Deactivating the elevator appears to happen more or less automatically, but it takes a while. The elevator platform itself resides in the center of four small pillars when not in use.
Heavycloudss8’s video shows themself running around the Teapot asnew character Yae Mikoand riding the elevators repeatedly to show them off. However, the video also highlights a few problems with the way the elevators currently function–namely, there’s no control over how high the elevator rises, and they can’t be manually reset. This means that players will have to be ready to hop off the elevator at the right time or simply glide to the correct destination. Otherwise, they may find themselves stuck on a platform hovering far above the landscape, even if the Teapot features multiple floors.
While the elevator goes too high for heavycloudss8’s build, a second user noted that it didn’t go high enough for theirs. This means that users who want to incorporate the elevators into their designs will have to do some serious rearrangement. Alternately, they could simply design thecontents of their Serenitea Potaround the elevators' capabilities. Several other users complained that the Teapot needs a larger load limit to truly exploit the elevators, while more users expressed a desire for miHoYo to let players build stairs without having to exploit glitches.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
