Scaffolding is a quick way to build tall things. Jump to climb up inside it and sneak to climb down. Break the bottom piece and the whole tower falls as items.
Other uses
| Craft | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Scaffolding | 6 bamboo + 1 string → 6 |
 Stick | 2 bamboo → 1 |
| Block of bamboo | 9 bamboo → 1 |
As fuel, each bamboo only smelts a quarter of an item, so 4 bamboo per item.
