Is there a form of downwards vertical movement faster than falling?

[Jylor the Indominable]

I recently built a Hellivator on a large sized multiplayer server with some friends, and realized it takes somewhere near an actual 2 solid minutes to get from the top floor of the elevator to the bottom. I get that doesn't sound too slow, but this is our quick access route to the underworld and honestly it's kinda irritating just falling for two minutes. It's fall-and-rope driven, allowing for a gravity assisted acceleration before using the rope at terminal velocity for safe delivery. Is there a way to fall faster or an alternate way to do it? The elevator is consdierably wide, 8 blocks wide already, so any necessary widening should be no problem.

You can drink a featherfalling potion and hold down.

Hold a portal gun.

I don't use hellevators anymore, I just have teleporters linked to the focal points of my map.

Is this really actually much faster than ordinary falling? I'll definitely give it a try.

Use a slime mount, make you fall over 2-3x faster

That may be hard to obtain, but I'll look into it.

Build a platform 40 blocks high off the ground and the boss literally cannot reach you.

Null:{Difficulty definitely won't be the problem, just RNG regarding the chance of drops and the amount of players that will need one. If we do go that way, I'll probably just make each person do it on their own time (which means many probably won't). Thanks for the tip.}

Okay so I just checked the wiki, yeah that shouldn't be too hard. Thanks mate.

Ok, it only takes me 1 or 2 tries. Not too rare.

oddly enough, holding the portal gun also increases fall speed, but it is only obtainable from the moon lord, so the slime mount is probably your better bet

Sir, I don't think OP needs help 4 years later.
