Talk:Ladder

needs a picture / proper structure

I do not believe using spaces between ladders should be considered a bug or an exploit as the character is two blocks tall thus can reach a ladder one block up which is realistic, and most likely intended.

They do block water

There was a good wait before I took the second screenshot after I placed the ladder to block the water so I'm pretty sure that they block water and this seems to have been changed accordingly.

Can mobs climb ladders?
I ask because I have a vertical ladder along the outside of my house. I just found a sheep on top of my house, standing where the end of the ladder is? Can mobs climb ladders O_O? If so, that is bad, and a danger to my house and I... imagine a creeper climbing the roof then falling into my home... deadly. Lil diriz 77 15:19, 6 September 2010 (CDT)


 * Im not sure. I had a bunch of little slimes following me in an old Alpha update and they could get up ladders, but now currently, mobs chasing me dont follow up a ladder.Toadbert


 * I see. Thanks for the help. :) Lil diriz 77 15:43, 6 September 2010 (CDT)


 * It may have just spawned there. i did have a creeper on my rooftop once, as well as a zombie in the basement, they just spawned there. to keep hostile mobs away from your house, create enough light with torches so they dont spawn. BlueLegion 16:59, 6 September 2010 (CDT)


 * I can confirm that they "can climb" as well as going down a ladder, but lack the A.I. to do so. If you manage to make them stop walking "in rounds" (typical of the AI when you're at the same X-Y coordinates on a different Z-level), they would climb or descend ladders.GDVL 16:55, 7 September 2010 (CDT)
