Tutorials/Pillar jumping

Pillar jumping (also known as pillaring)is a personal method of gaining height in Minecraft. Once used as a practical means, it is not re-usable to 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?
