Scaffolding

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.
, scaffolding takes a small amount of time to break. An axe is the fastest method of obtaining it.
=== Crafting ===
== Usage ==
When the bottom block of scaffolding is destroyed, all scaffolding blocks above it break, similar to chorus plants and bamboo; this makes it easier for players to make temporary structures. 
The placement of scaffolding is different from any other blocks in the game. When pressing 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. Pressing use on the top face of the scaffolding adds the scaffolding to the side, depending on the direction the player is facing. 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 , 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.
Scaffolding has no collision detection. The player can climb up or down by or respectively.
A scaffolding block can be moved by pistons, allowing them to be broken easily.
Scaffolding can be placed up to 6 blocks out from its base of support; any further scaffolding placed falls to the ground.
Scaffolding can be 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.
, scaffolding is not ignited by lava, and can be placed inside. It will be destroyed by fire.
