Pillar jumping (also known as pillaring) is a method of reaching a higher altitude that can't otherwise easily be reached in a map. Once used, it cannot be used by other players. Pillars created in this way are useful in editing adjacent tall structures.

Method

Pillar jumping is achieved by repeating the following steps:

  1. Aim at your feet
  2. Jump (space)
  3. Right click

Alternatively:

  1. Aim at feet
  2. Hold right mouse button
  3. Press space repeatedly

Responsible climbing

In levels where there is a lot of ceiling-level construction, pillars can seem a tempting way to get to where the action is. However, bear in mind:

  • These are not useful to future users
  • Build with a collapsable material (sand or gravel) so that they can be easily destroyed from ground level once used.
  • Could you take the time to build a spiral staircase instead?
  • If you left-click and right-click at the same time at the brick you are looking at will be destroyed and a new brick will be place one brick closer, this can be used to climb without columns that have to be deleted in the future
