How to Use Scaffolding in Minecraft

Scaffolding is a block in Minecraft with similar functionality to a ladder, with a few extra features that can assist you with your construction endeavors. It is rather cheap to craft, and comes in bundles of 6, making it a viable option for situations in which you need aerial traversal.

How to Obtain Scaffolding

Scaffolding can be obtained either through looting Trial chests or by crafting it with six bamboo and one string. Each batch creates six scaffolds for you to use at your leisure!

Using Scaffolding

Scaffolding is a block you can walk through under normal circumstances, and acts like other non-solid blocks in that regard.

After you've placed your first scaffold, you can then right-click the side of your scaffold to automatically place a scaffold above that one. Rinse and repeat until you've gotten your scaffold as high as you need it. Once you have the height set up, you can climb on top of your scaffold tower by walking into it and holding the Shift key, akin to climbing a ladder. Once you're at the top, you can then right-click the scaffold in the direction you want to build out to, and it will automatically place a scaffold in that direction as well!

Scaffolding is extremely useful when building structures, as it allows you to control your altitude and get to those hard-to-reach areas without having to litter your house with ladders. Like Cacti or Chorus Fruit, breaking the bottommost scaffold will break all scaffolds above, meaning they're also very easy to clean up when done.

Outside of construction, Scaffolds also double as a great way to descend mountainsides or other tall structures with less risk than attempting to save yourself with a last-minute water bucket after a leap of faith (and subsequent shattering of your legs).
