Ladder effect of scaffolding only works if the center of the player is in it
The bug
When the center of the player is not above scaffolding, they are not experiencing its ladder effect: Smoothly going up and down.
Instead they jump up one scaffolding block at a time and fall down multiple scaffolding blocks when going down.
This is related to MC-1133, but possibly not a duplicate, because some functionality (that you can go up and down) works as expected.
How to reproduce
- Build a tower of scaffolding
- Move partially inside it, but make sure that your center is not inside it
- Move upwards by pressing the jump key
→
You jump up one block at a time instead of going upwards smoothly - Move downwards by pressing the sneak key
→
You fall downwards

Created Issue:
Ladder effect of scaffolding only works if the center of the player is on it
What I expected to happen was...:
You get the ladder effect if any part of the player's hitbox is on the scaffolding.What actually happened was...:
If the center of the player is outside the scaffolding and you jump, you ascend one scaffolding block at a time, when you sneak you fall to the ground.Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a tower of scaffolding and climb to the top.
2. Look directly down and walk slowly forward/backward until your crosshair is outside the scaffolding you stand on.
3. Press sneak, you should now free fall all the way to the ground.Environment
