Scaffolding

"Scaffolding helps you reach the top of your builds with ease. Just keep stacking them as you go! It's also handy for avoiding fall damage, as you can gently get your delicate body to the ground by lowering yourself through the scaffolding blocks, instead of just leaping off a cliff and hoping you land on a particularly soft Creeper (which never works btw). Plus you can build all kinds of great things out of scaffolding itself!"

- Tom Stone

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

From block loot
Scaffolding is broken instantly, and no tools are required.

Info


When the bottom block of scaffolding is destroyed, all scaffolding blocks above it breaks, similar to chorus plants; 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. While, pressing use on the top face of the scaffolding places the new scaffolding on top of the targeted one if the top is available, otherwise it is placed under the targeted scaffolding if possible. Pressing use on the side while sneaking places it on the side like placing other blocks.

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 only 6 blocks out from its base of support; any further scaffolding placed falls to the ground.

$$, 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 can be placed inside lava but burns after some time.

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.

Fuel
Scaffolding can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 2 items per block $$, and 6 items per block $$.
