Scaffolding

Scaffolding is a climbable semi-solid block with a stable top platform and unique placement controls that simplify creating columns and bridges. Scaffolding pieces fall downward if placed too far away from a supporting block, which can naturally form into more supporting columns.

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

Breaking scaffolding with almost any tool doesn't reduce its durability, except for shears.[1]
