I propose for a new type of material (block) which would expire after maybe 8 or 24 hours being placed to be used as a scaffold to build tall buildings
The materials required to craft the scaffold are timber and foliage. The materials would dissapear/dissolve as they wither/decay
awesome idea 
building will be much easier 
i think we were asking for ladders for years
Yes, that’s be nice to have a ladder as well. Right now I’m using Ovis’ invention to create the “ladder”
I can only assume the expering materials would be easier to implement because the game already have a mechanism to make building materials dissapear from expiring beacons and reclaim
oh? Got a link?
There you go 
Scaffolding could be an interesting block…
They’d have to tweak it a fair bit for a hard timer, the reclaim is xblocks per sec, and the expiration mechanic uses a similar “ticking clock” to how farming crops grow, meaning it’s semi random when they disappear, and not in any order.
Not that they couldn’t do it, although as soon as you add a completely temporary block to the game players will want a not so temporary one with the same look… Then it will be hard to tell the difference like trap doors and reg doors… Although if they just change the icon to be a little different you could fix both of those 
ok, talked back into it, just give a non temporary version of the design, maybe that adds glue to the materials needed and I’m completely on board 
that would be nice
