Scaffolding in Minecraft

The scaffolding is a block that can be used to help players build structures. Players can use scaffolding to ascend and descend from higher places without taking any fall damage. It is a fragile block as it can be broken quite easily with any tool.

How to get scaffolding?


The only way to get scaffolding is through crafting as it doesn't generate naturally at all. The player will need six bamboos and a single string to craft six scaffolding blocks. The six pieces of bamboo will have to be placed vertically on the left and right rows of the crafting grid and the string needs to be placed in the top middle slot, as shown below.

What is the use of scaffolding?


Scaffoldings are used to build temporary structures while building large structures or to reach a place high above. The placement of scaffolding is different from any other blocks in the game. When pressing use on the side of a scaffolding block, the scaffolding is added on top of the highest scaffolding in that location which allows the player to build the scaffolding structure higher on the ground.‌

Conclusion


Scaffolding is a block that is quite helpful and handy for players that like to build large structures as it allows them to reach high points of the build easily and they don't have to worry about fall damage. Breaking a scaffolding structure is also really quick, which makes them quite convenient.
