#1. Materials For Scaffolding

Like most of the craftable items in Minecraft, you can process materials and create scaffolding on the crafting table. Apart from this common device, you need to gather specific materials for this decorative item. Here are all the materials you need to make a scaffolding block.

  • Bamboo stalk (x6)
  • String (x1)

Bamboo is available to collect from the jungle biomes. Bamboo Jungle and Jungle are among the rarest biomes in Minecraft. Therefore, you should try to bring more bamboo stalks back to your farm after each farming trip. The string can be collected from spiders. You can kill a spider to get a string or break its web.

Where To Farm Bamboo
Bamboo biomes are pretty rare and hard to find.

You can also create a string farm to produce instant strings for various purposes in Minecraft by raising spiders on that farm. Growing bamboo in Minecraft can help decorate your base and provide bamboo sticks for various crafting recipes, including the Scaffolding recipe. It's easy to grow bamboo in Minecraft as this plant does not require too many conditions to grow.

#2. How To Make Scaffolding

As you need lots of bamboo stalks for this item, try to farm and store this material before crafting. After gathering enough devices and materials, you can start to make the scaffolding in Minecraft. Follow these steps to craft this item.

  1. Set the crafting table on the ground.
  2. Put three bamboo stalks in the first column and three other stalks in the third column.
  3. Put the string on the top slot of the middle column.

After the crafting process finishes, you can get six scaffolding blocks in the output slot. Move them to the inventory to store for later uses. Continue to put materials in and produce as many scaffolding blocks as you want.

Scaffolding is a climbable block in Minecraft. Moreover, they can be stacked to make a high structure for climbing. Therefore, you can stack them to build temporary ladders and bridges to reach high and far locations when constructing tall structures and statues.

When the construction is done, you can break the scaffolding on the ground and the whole scaffolding stacks will be destroyed. So, you don't need to destroy every single scaffolding block after completing the construction. It's very easy and convenient to do the cleanup after work.
