Ladder block in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Mined with: axe Stack size: 64

A Ladder lets you climb straight up and down a wall.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 7 × Stick. It is mined with an axe. As fuel it burns for 15 seconds in a Furnace, enough to smelt 1.5 items.

What it does

Seven sticks in an H make three. Place it against a solid wall; you climb it by walking into it, stop by sneaking, and it cancels fall damage when you grab it. It can be placed in water to make an air pocket for breathing.
