Stick Scaffolding

by okem

Stick Scaffolding lets players craft scaffolding from sticks and string instead of bamboo, so a bamboo jungle is no longer needed.

What it does

Scaffolding is normally crafted with bamboo, which means finding a bamboo jungle first. This mod adds a second recipe that uses six sticks and one string to produce six scaffolding blocks, and the original bamboo recipe stays available. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Stick recipe

    Six sticks and one string craft six scaffolding blocks, with no bamboo needed.

  2. Bamboo recipe kept

    The vanilla bamboo recipe still works, so players can choose whichever materials they have.

  3. Simple single-recipe addition

    The mod changes only the scaffolding recipe and adds no new items, blocks or menus.

Questions

Does Stick Scaffolding need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is the required dependency on Fabric, and the mod is also published for Forge and NeoForge.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Why does the mod need Java 21?

The author notes that it does not work with Java 17 and requires Java 21 to run.

What the author says

Instead of traversing biomes for hours just to find bamboo in a jungle, you can now craft scaffolding with sticks! You can still craft it with bamboo. The recipe is the same as the one with bamboo; 6 sticks, 1 string, gives: 6 scaffolding
