'''Scaffolding''' is a climbable semi-solid [[block]] that can be stood on without falling as well as be placed and broken easily.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Scaffolding is broken instantly, and no tools are required. Scaffolding requires support and drops as an item if it loses this support.

{{IN|bedrock}}, scaffolding takes a small amount of time to break. An [[axe]] is the fastest method of obtaining it.

=== Crafting ===

== Usage ==
[[File:Scaffolding building.gif|thumb|A stack of scaffolding created by placing another scaffolding block on the side face of the bottom scaffolding block.]]

When the bottom [[block]] of scaffolding is destroyed, all scaffolding blocks above it break, similar to [[chorus plant]]s and [[bamboo]]; this makes it easier for [[player]]s to make temporary structures. 

The placement of scaffolding is different from any other blocks in the game. When pressing {{control|use}} 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.{{only|java}} Pressing use on the top face of the scaffolding adds the scaffolding to the side, depending on the direction the player is facing.{{only|java}} When trying to place a scaffolding inside of another 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. While {{control|sneaking}}, pressing use on a face of the scaffolding places the new scaffolding on that face like placing other blocks; the scaffolding may then fall if not adequately supported.

[[File:How to Play Scaffolding.png|thumb|A diagram showing that scaffolding can be placed up to 6 [[block]]s away from the base of support.]]
Scaffolding has no collision detection. The player can climb up or down by {{control|jumping}} or {{control|sneaking}} respectively.

A scaffolding block can be moved by [[piston]]s, allowing them to be broken easily.

Scaffolding can be placed up to 6 blocks out from its base of support; any further scaffolding placed [[Falling Block|falls to the ground]].

Scaffolding can be [[waterlogging|waterlogged]].

In Bedrock Edition, 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.

{{IN|java}}, scaffolding is not ignited by [[lava]], and can be placed inside. It will be destroyed by [[fire]].
[[File:Scaffold demo.mp4|thumb|222x222px|How to use scaffolding on PC Java]]

When holding scaffolding, the hitbox of scaffolding in the world is a full block.{{only|java}} Otherwise, a player can interact with other blocks through the scaffolding.

Mobs don't spawn on scaffolding. {{IN|bedrock}} mobs can spawn inside of scaffolding if the block below the scaffolding is spawnable. {{IN|java}} very small mobs such as [[chicken]]s can spawn in the empty space inside of a scaffolding block if the block below is spawnable.

=== Fuel ===
Scaffolding can be used as a [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 0.25 [[item]]s per block.
