About

Ladders are transparent blocks that allow players and mobs to climb vertical surfaces. Place them on the side of a block, and players can ascend or descend by holding forward (or the relevant directional key). They are one of the fastest ways to gain height in survival mode.

Ladders have low hardness and can be destroyed quickly with any tool or by hand. They stack to 64, making them practical to farm and store in bulk. Admins typically use them to build accessible infrastructure, create testing routes, or quickly traverse build areas when inspecting the map.
