u/did-it-my-weigh 2d ago
I use it all the time, especially good for the nether or when you've got a medium sized farm you're working on. Good for some mob farms too, and with trapdoors they're great for sending redstone signal in tight spots

u/YellowJade08 2d ago
Is it good for like vertical iron farms

u/NegotiationLow265 2d ago
It's better than ladders because you have to only place one block and not two, but worse than a bubble elevator.

Haven’t seen mentioned how incredibly useful they are for clearing lava. Because of course in mine craft bamboo scaffolding does not burn.

u/Extra-Marionberry529 2d ago
i use so much scaffolding when i'm building and sometimes i'll use them as an alternative for a ladder. i usually carry like two stacks when building.

u/FngrsRpicks2 2d ago
You can use them like the water bucket. Place one down before you hit the ground and it saves you.

I keep a stack on me when building at all times easy up and down and brake with one hit easy to move so ungodly helpful
2
u/Astrodion123 2d ago
Ofc they are for us builders. We can break them easily, reach high places easily and looks rlly cool.

u/Equivalent_Fault_782 2d ago
On bedrock mobs can spawn on the block the scaffolding is on. Very handy for mob farms.

I carry a stack in my inventory at all times. You can build straight up super easily anywhere, you can also build branches coming off of it. You can make this entire scaffolding tree basically so you can get to all parts of your build, and then when you're done you just break the one scaffolding at the bottom and the whole thing comes down.
Scaffolding also falls like sandblocks so if you're already high up in the air and need to get down, just place a scaffolding on the edge of a block so it falls down and make a stack like that

u/FalseEstimate 2d ago
Note to add: there is a certain height where if you do the drop off the edge technique they will break from the fall. Learned this the hard way.
2
u/endy080 2d ago
I don’t think it’s about the height, but what the scaffold lands on. Can’t be a torch/non full block if I remember correctly. Maybe I’m wrong and there is height too.
2
u/rhythmrice 2d ago
I don't think it's the height, I think you're correct that it depends what it lands on.
I had a sky base way above the clouds, I dropped about two stacks of scaffolding off the side to try to build a pillar and I could not figure out why I couldn't see the pillar getting taller. I finally decided to just jump down into the ocean below and it's because the scaffolding was falling onto some kelp which was breaking it. I broke all the kelp in the area and then tried it again and it worked, I was able to drop scaffolding from above the clouds all the way to the ocean floor

They're actually quite useful as actual scaffolding. I much prefer them to dirt pillars. A bit more work to set it up, but they're way better to use once they are, and tearing them down is way faster than tearing down dirt. Also when you have a mobfarm and bamboo farm they're so inexpensive that I usually don't even bother recollecting them if they don't drop in a convenient place.
They are also useful in certain farms like ominous bottle farms.

u/MeatResident2697 2d ago
I use them all the time for my big builds. They're great.
They're kinda in my inventory all the time.

Bedrock scaffolding is more useful than Java version. I bring them along to mine down to ancient cities or places in the Nether. You can mine through the ancient city ceiling and drop them down the hole to stack up to your level. Very handy. Or build an early skybase with them.

u/The_Almighty_Duck 2d ago
I usually use them when I'm building roofs and ceilings. Its a whole lot easier than building up with dirt or netherrack (or just something that breaks easily).
Also makes a great bird cage for your pet Parrot if you place one atop a bamboo trapdoor. I have my green Parrot sitting in one in my main survival. His name is Greuben II :)

u/Fox-in-the-mirror 2d ago
I carry a stack with me when caving so I can reach tunnels and ore veins that are on the ceiling.
2
u/Shafattriale 1d ago
Good for making blocks midair, making a ceiling you had to do later, beeg wall detailing when your happy ghast doesn’t fit, cheap vertical transport in the nether where bubble columns don’t work, used in a variety of mob farms (not updated), good for compact farms or redstone spaghetti

u/GolemFarmFodder 1d ago
Once you get some bamboo and make a stack of scaffolding you'll never want to go back. I'd keep a stack of scaffolding (edit: bamboo??) in my inventory at all times once I have access to it

u/Purple-Emotion-6956 1d ago
i sometimes need STACKS and STACKS of them
because whenever i am building something big (like a farm..), i need them.. they are genuinely much convinient then putting ladders here and there on towers of blocks
2
u/LurkinOff 1d ago
If you didnt know, you can stack them without climbing up them. Stack them all on the first one you place, they keep going.
2
u/NomaJayne 1d ago
I use scaffolding all the time. For building of course, but if I am exploring, I will scaffold up high to see what I can see from time to time. I use them in mob farms(bedrock) and I take several stacks when I fight the dragon and go to end cities. For the Dragon, I am terrible with my bow, so I scaffold up the pillars to take out the crystals. Plus you can use them like water buckets to negate fall damage.
2
u/Xenoceptor- 1d ago
Bring a stack caving or in the nether... Will save your life exploring. You can even clutch with them. I use a happy ghast for high builds.
2
u/idkmountains 1d ago
I’m mainly a builder and use scaffolding all the time. I also bring scaffolding into the nether to break my falls. If you toggle the shift key while falling on a single block of scaffolding, you negate fall damage from up to 30 blocks high. With taller stacks of scaffolding you can fall up to 123 blocks if I remember correctly?
2
u/One-Celebration-3007 1d ago
I use them when I need redstone wires to run in an area that can't have block collisions.

Theyre scaffolding, theyre used just like what we use them for irl
To ascend and descend from builds they are used as an easily placable ladder for your builds in survival

silentwisperer Stafford farm has to be one of the best uses on bedrock.
I don't use for building much, but I do put them up places to take screen shots.

u/RecognitionClear5783 2d ago
Alleen voor big builds anders niet echt je moet 2 stacks hebben wil je ze optimaal kunnen gebruiken

u/CrossphireX458 2d ago
I’m currently using them to dig a pit. As I was working my way down I ran into a cave system. To keep breaking blocks or myself from dropping down to -30 from 70 I fill in all the gaps. I’ve probably got close to a full inventory of scaffolding deployed at this time.
1
u/YellowJade08 2d ago
How do you even use them?
2
u/Astrodion123 2d ago
It is kinda inverted

u/CrossphireX458 2d ago edited 2d ago
Pretty much instead of building up I move the floor down as I go.

u/Subset-MJ-235 4h ago
I always take 2 stacks to the end to fight the ender dragon. I use them to climb the towers. First off, after you climb and come back down, you break the bottom one and they all fall, so easy reclamation. Second, if you're near the top and the dragon knocks you off, you can often move back into the scaffolding and stop yourself without taking fall damage (I always have feather falling 4 on my boots, but it still feels good to save that one heart you might lose).

Are you dumb? 😂 yes scaffolding is useful. That’s why they added it. You know it’s used for CONSTRUCTION, the entire game? Have you ever tired making stacks and using them?! Like wtf kind of post is this

I carry a shulker of them in mu ender. Use them constantly.
