Scaffolding

Scaffolding is a block used when building structures to help the player reach higher places, or to descend safely without fall damage.

Breaking
Scaffolding is broken instantly, and no tools are required. Scaffolding requires support and drops as an item if it loses this support.

$$, scaffolding takes a small amount of time to break. An axe is the fastest method of obtaining it.

Usage


When the bottom block of scaffolding is destroyed, all scaffolding blocks above it break, similar to chorus plants and bamboo; this makes it easier for players to make temporary structures.

The placement of scaffolding is different from any other blocks in the game. When pressing on the side of a scaffolding, the scaffolding is added on top of the highest scaffolding in that location, allowing the player to build the scaffolding structure higher on the ground. Pressing use on the top face of the scaffolding adds the scaffolding to the side, depending on the direction the player is facing. When trying to place a scaffolding inside of another scaffolding, the scaffolding is added on top of the highest scaffolding in that location, allowing the player to build the scaffolding structure higher on the ground. While, pressing use on a face of the scaffolding places the new scaffolding on that face like placing other blocks; the scaffolding may then fall if not adequately supported.

Scaffolding has no collision detection. The player can climb up or down by or  respectively.

A scaffolding block can be moved by pistons, allowing them to be broken easily.

Scaffolding can be placed up to 6 blocks out from its base of support; any further scaffolding placed falls to the ground.

Scaffolding can be waterlogged.

In Bedrock Edition, scaffolding cannot be placed inside lava; if scaffolding is placed next to lava or fire, the scaffolding is destroyed. If it falls into lava or fire, it is destroyed immediately.

$$, scaffolding is not ignited by lava, and can be placed inside. It will be destroyed by fire.



When holding scaffolding, the hitbox of scaffolding in the world is a full block. Otherwise, a player can interact with other blocks through the scaffolding.

Unlike most transparent blocks, scaffolding allows mobs to spawn on top of them. Mobs don't spawn on scaffolding in Bedrock Edition, but they can spawn inside of it if the block below the scaffolding is spawnable.

Fuel
Scaffolding can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 0.25 items per block.

Therefore, when combined with string into scaffolding, a certain amount of bamboo (each smelting 0.25 items) can smelt 24 times. as many items. When it comes to string costs, each string enables the smelting of 36 items.
