ECKOSOLDIER – Minecraft 1.14 Update – Scaffolding Building Tips and Tricks

Welcome back everyone my name is echo and I hope you’re having an absolutely fantastic day I am here on the latest Minecraft Pocket Edition the bedrock version beta this is the beta version one point eight point 0.8 released last week for Android Windows 10 and Xbox now

In that version we have pandas cats bamboos scaffolding and so much more now I want to focus specifically in this video on this scaffolding block and I aren’t sure to bring you guys a video on alternative uses so what is scaffolding how does it work and what’s it all about while

Scaffolding is mainly used like this how it works is they wanted to replace the user using stone dirt etc to tower all the way up to build so if you’re a Minecraft player and you built a house and maybe it’s a project this big you’ve always used grass debt etc to get

All the way to the top which is really annoying because you need to collect a lot of resources before you can use your current resources to build a house the most annoying thing is though once you’ve built all the way up with dead grass cobblestone etc you have to break

It all the way down now Jeb explained that scaffolding was a requested feature 7 years ago at the first-ever Minecon event and it has finally been introduced let me just free you guys a brief explanation about scaffolding it has its main functionality but as you all know as minecraft players we always find

Alternative uses for those specific blocks and that’s kind of what I wanted to do I found a couple of alternative uses for my everyday minecraft life and I’m pretty sure you guys are gonna find something else feel free to leave a comment down below and tell me what

Other uses have you found for the scaffolding block so it is crafted with six bamboos we’re on the outside and one string in the middle and the outcome will be scaffolding which seems to be and it looks a little bit weird in the item frame I thought they would have put

The mesh on the front of the item frame anyway let’s just quickly craft this or I can show you guys how it does work and let’s have some fun with this block shall we so one two three on the left one two three on the right and string

Has to go right on the top for this to work and it would produce six so this is a very very very efficient block you get a lot it’s a really cheap material to make which means building houses is not going to be a problem at all and I see a

Piggy out there I’m pretty sure that pig got up there using the scaffolding maybe that’s something else we can test as well maybe mobs can actually use these as well that’s that’s quite that’s that’s something I didn’t even know so the whole point of this guys is of

Course the building and the main use for it is of course you build all the way up now if I go down and I go inside of this we use whatever your version you’re playing use to jump you just jump up and it will take you all the way up now when

You quit wherever you are you can stop I’m not using anything at all and I can stop and I can probably start to build their build their build their build that you can build it as much as you want obviously and go down and up whatever I

Want to which i think is a really really cool thing the best thing about this though is you only have to break a select area so if I break this it’s only gonna break the ones above if I break this one it’s gonna break the one above

And I break the bottom one it’s going to break all of them and that’s the main thing behind the scaffolding which is so impressive and is exactly why I love this block so so much but yeah I want to show you one more thing with this and

The main thing is guys if you are using scaffolding and you want to walk across you can’t be on level with it so if I try and go there I’m gonna fall down however if we go up with this and I’m above it as you guys can see I can stand

On this specific one so this is the main use for scaffolding that’s the reason why I wanted to make this video to explain you guys the main use and alternative uses and yeah a pig ended up here and yeah mind your business so let’s get into a couple alternative

Uses I want you guys to go mess around with this if you figured out some other uses for it please leave a comment down below so the first one is going to be a table so for minecraft players we’ve always used oak fences spruce fences

Whatever fence you want to use as like a table set so it’s always been like like oops that’s the wrong thing first it’s always been like maybe you’ve done four of these and straightaway you have yourself like a dining room table it’s all just meant to design houses and it’s

Always been the same material it’s always been with with fences now my first alternative use that I found with this is that you can actually use scaffolding and see variations of colors don’t worry we have stairs we have stairs aka chairs which are another combination obviously table chairs yes so the first

One I want to share with you is a table the first time I place down a scaffolding block my initial thought was it looks like a table it looks like a table crossed with like what’s it called what’s the game called chess checkers whatever you want to call it both both

Of them it looks exactly the same as both of them so instead I have it like maybe you wanted to have a different change maybe you wanted to build like a little bit of a lighter inside of course you can use more variations you can

Place this on top and I think it works really really well I was so impressed with it I think having different variations one thing that you cannot do though is for a fence you can actually put a pressure plate on top of a fence you cannot put a pressure plate on top

Of this one even though a pressure plate is exactly the same as basically a car fit that’s one downside that I noticed now you can put any color on there let’s grab ourselves some red so we’ll go with the red carpet yeah so my initial thought when I’ve seen this is it could

Be used as as a table moving on to number two you probably figured this out since we have ourselves a table what about the chairs because while you probably could use this with the scaffolding which I’ve already got rid of by mistake here let’s just grab ourselves a Moscow

Scaffolding you could probably do this you could probably do this that the way you’ve used it with a fence case for a long time you could probably use it like this we grab ourselves aside now you guys are probably thinking echo the only problem with this one is for the chairs

To look really good you have to use signs now recently dinnerbone has previewed a picture showing different colored sign so again this does work with it and I mean to put that there let’s break this you can use the ordinary stairs with signs around this

One as well but I see that I’ve seen someone suggest something to me so I don’t take credit for this one but this is just an alternative use for stairs and how this works is I’m going to place down a space on a couple we’ll go one

Two three and four now this is going to look a little bit bigger than your general stares plus science because what we’re gonna be using is we’re gonna be using variations of trapdoors I’m just gonna grab a couple of these so how this works it’s just whatever you place

On top just place a whole range of different ones again it just depends to be fair guys that the birch one looks really good so as you guys can see we have ourselves some chairs and it’s a little bit bigger granted it is a little bit bigger but it still looks like a

Table and chairs kind of thing can you put these on top of there you can’t even put these on there as well so maybe you wanted this to be your table and chairs but what I’ll do is I’ll make like a double dining set maybe yeah you’ve gone ours with your

Friend alright we’ll go one I think I did this way yeah two three four and as you guys can see we have ourselves tables and chairs so again this one’s a little bit bigger than the original one which is this one and this one which you probably seen within within villager

Houses so they’re more like for appearance let’s get into a little bit more useful things so for years we’ve always had the ladder to go up and down now to be fair recently they did introduce the update aquatic the update aquatic introduces basically elevators water elevators to go up and down but

Ladders have always been the same thing now to me scaffolding is basically another variation of ladders for what it does so what I went ahead and done is I should I literally dug all the way down to bedrock using the whole scaffolding and again you could go up and down now

With this one guys especially in the Windows 10 version I could only stop at a specific location when I shift when I hold shift on my keyboard that’s when I stop if I let go a shift I go all the way down something you guys could be

Noticed on the star of today’s video if I go all the way up at any point I want to stop I stop and I stay there I don’t have to double press anything it’s slightly more improved compared to the ladder so the good thing about this is

You can go down now I don’t have coordinates enabled but you could go down to say level 12 or maybe you go into iron level iron level let’s say iron level is about here you can stop you can just dig your way out you can just continue to dig and I broke the

Lattice because screw ladders we don’t need ladders anymore it’s all about the scaffolding and you can just make yourself a specific buyer maybe you find a couple of things there we found some coal and you’re done and you want to go down a bit it’s gonna be really useful for like strip

Mining and I just thought this was more beneficial as a ladder system than the ladders itself I think they’re the same price I think you get the same amount for the same ingredients for ladders apart for actually no because bamboo you only need six which four sticks you need

Seven because you need three on each side and then one in the middle so I think this is a little bit more cheaper than ladders and I think they look a lot cooler as well I think they look way cooler ittan probably gonna have to watch out

For is your friend at the bottom he could kind of troll you because this could be a disaster net we go over to the bottom and we break this even a little bit of a trouble so although it is a useful thing you could be in some

Form of trouble if you break it at the wrong point I’m telling you now you’re gonna hit the ground pretty hard so that was that more of a useful one the next one we have here is this design now when I first seen the scaffolding and I built

With it it reminded me of like a cat’s play area where they have like a scratch post and stuff like that now recently introduced I didn’t pick them up recently introduced they introduced cats so we have the cat mob and we also have the Oslo

Now all slots can be tamed but all slots are like so they can’t be chained anymore all thoughts just have this skin now this isn’t Ocelot cats basically took over their original originalitycheck of ourselves some raw fish my initial thought behind this is it reminded me of like a scratch post

And this is just gonna be something that you could build for your cats remember though guys can’t sar gonna scare we phantom so I guess the big you you build this the less chance of phantoms come in to swoop down and get you that was kind

Of my initial thought so if I place this year and I feed him we could just have tons of them they just remind me oh it’s a little baby one there you go little buddy they just reminded me of like a scratch post for cats that’s that’s it the best

Way I can explain it it did that’s all it reminded me of maybe if I make you stand up and make you stand up oh okay I want to know if I want to know if they can go up I want to know if they can go

Up at all the way you can go up because we did see we did see the pig all the way up there but I think it looks really cool it’s like okay that’s like a cat play area come on take it buddy there you go don’t forget we only have eight skins

Gonna be introducing hi hi maybe we could test with a creeper guys hold on maybe we could test with a creeper I’m curious I got a test with something you know maybe if we try with something that can jump so if we go to a piggy real

Quick Pig hit him no they they could definitely climb but yeah that was the other design or other idea that I had oops please sit down everybody now the last one that I have in today’s video again it’s going to be more of a useful kind of it’s more of a useful thing

Rather than used for aesthetic luck or just for appearance and it’s actually to cross water so something that I like about this is you can actually place this in water and for me it kind of looked like a dam now I did test if a fish can go through it fish can go

Through it dolphins can go through it so it is it is a block that’s kind of transparent in a way because you can go you can go through it but you can just walk across this and it’s because it’s a really cheap material you can use it for

Building purposes I just really like that now if I just place one here I’m gonna place a couple of these one oops I want to test something something I’ve not tried come on two three four if I place the fifth one okay okay okay okay so it

Does work very very submit how it isn’t building so if I try and place this on here it is gonna fall down so you have they have to be attaching like four pieces so it’s like a gap of three or four and then it just falls all the way

Down but I just thought look really cool again with this one you can kind of go down halfway in the water look around maybe you’re looking for something I don’t know and you just want to stay still you can just look around and then

Go all the way back up but yeah I was just messing around with it and I thought let’s just make a different video let’s just enjoy the scaffolding as a block but if you didn’t learn something new guys and you think that you might use this please take the time

To hit that like button anything else leave it down below in the comment section if you’d like more of a dedicated video on maybe pandas or cats or anything at all just let me know in the comment section and I catch you next time
