Make this work:

[GreenLeaf 198]

is that retextured vines?

i hope it could be done! it's a good idea.

[ECC 508]

no, its built in 'plank' items. I edited it a little and added a detailed block above it after the screenshot was taken

(That awkward moment when you realise you don't understand the post and therefore, have probably missed something important in the game mechanics.)

[Kimbblesrath 503]

Ahhh cool! But shouldn't this be in the discussions forum? LOL, but Really cool idea. Do they work? Like can you actually climb up them?

[ECC 508]

no, this is in the ideas forum as I am asking for this to work in game as a laddar. lol.

[Kimbblesrath 503]

Oh..you should probably put that in the OP.

[renadi 258]

and get rid of the vanilla ladder, sounds like a great idea!

[halfmaster1 77]

Don't get rid of the vanilla ladder, just allow this to work like the stone ladders.

I'm torn.

I like the idea this thread proposes, but I don't like it replacing ladders (as it would in practice).

Perhaps if vanilla ladders were to change into rope ladders that's constructed from above, instead of being able to be constructed from the bottom as well (as ladders currently can be), that would do it. It would also make it harder, especially if you only allow the top of the ladder to be placed on edges of blocks and expanded downwards by adding a ladder on the existing ladder. Like scaffolds in tekkit, but downwards.

This would mean that you would be able to completely destroy the (rope)ladder by removing the top of it. Like vines when the top vine is the only one connected to a block.

Like a lot of vanilla blocks, the ladder is "too good" as it is in my opinion.

... Isn't that a bit like Ropes+'s ropes work? o.o

[Sandmann 6]

This does work, let me get an example.

This is with full bars of stone. There is probably a way to make this smaller, but I didn't feel like doing too much chisel work.

This works with the smallest pieces of blocks too.

Confirmed, works with wood. The mini-block needs to be on the last 18th of the block

Only works when they are made with the slab mode.

I am guessing the game still thinks the block is a slab, so it tries to climb up it. With the blocks being 18 thick, it acts as a ladder. Either that or the devs are godlike.

[LordOfWolves 514]

This seems a good idea, but it would be extremely slow to do a single ladder block. And also you would need a lot of resources, like a whole wooden plank and some durability of the chisel (Or whatever you use to mske the ladder).

And also, a player needs an alternative when he quickly needs ladders. Maybe you could chisel them like ladders, but when you remove the chiselled block, it would give you a ladder block. Because it's better if you can prepare the ladders for every evenience, like when you're followed by a pack of wolves (This COULD come in the future).

[renadi 258]

One plank per step isn't so bad, and the ones on the side are just detail, I think this is much better than the weird ladders we have now.

[ECC 508]

sand, this does NOT work, I am using plank and detailed blocks to do this. What this proposes is allowing highly detailed structures to work as foot and handholds.

Not just the slabs

i'm finding it rather hard to resist the urge to burn you right now...

but otherwise it's a good idea

Stop, do not get into one of thease derails... I know I misspelled it and now I can not change it. Get over it.

Not to sound rude, but actually, you CAN. Edit your post, and click "Use Full Editor".

Hmm, must have been fixed. going to leave it as is anyhow.

Are you leaving it for some emphasis!? Crazy crazy...

I think it would be tough to calculate whether or not carvings like that would be traversable vertically like a ladder. I can see how it could detect if a slab was small enough to be climbed upon (like it already does), but this is a lot more intricate (...if I'm seeing it right. It looks like the whole ladder is at the same depth to the wall). The only way I could see this working is if you laid down the vertical parts first, then the rungs on the next level out from the wall. Then the game could detect (like it does for chiseled stone) that the wood planks are traversable so you'd be able to climb up.

[ECC 508]

actually its me using in the image the 'plank' item

I think then, if they could have horizontal planks acquire the same attributes that chiseled stone does to make them climbable like ladders, that would be neat. But again, yours seems really busy, and to make it work smoothly I ASSUME you would need just one horizontal plank per stone face. IDK though.
