Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Iron Ladders & other ladder wood variants

Hello, as a fellow builder who uses a lot of stone and industrial materials for my builds i would love to see iron ladders make a appearance into the game. i feel like other variants such as birch, spruce, dark oak, and the new edition of warped wood and crimson wood it would make a good edition into the game. since the nether is a dangerous biome to build in i feel like having a ladder that is not only fire proof but can with stand explosives such as ghast fireballs and TNT.

The crafting recipe would maybe use iron nuggets since they don't have a big impact on the game, it would be the same crafting recipe of a ladder but  instead of wood it would be iron ingots or nuggets, it doesn't necessarily have to be iron it could also be made out of gold or new materials such as the new netherite ore that is coming out with the 1.16 update.

let me know your thoughts and what we could do to improve the idea of a potentially new ladders into the game. -Horizon

    They should definitely conside Iron or Stone ladders that don't need to be against a surface. Maybe even wooden ladders with vines on them that lets the wooden ladders be off of a wall and hang by the vines.

    I have always wanted to have new ladders. The regular ladder doesn't always go with what I build, so it would be nice to have other options.

    The iron ladder could maybe help you climb faster. If players like myself have a large hole they need to quickly climb out of, like a strip mine, they could use this as opposed to an expensive and complicated redstone elevator for example or the slower wooden ladders.

    The biggest issue is the ladder not blending well with most materials, such as in the Ancient Cities, it stands out far to much from the deep slate. A ladder with sculk vines and deepslate bars could be nice, or an echo shard ladder that jingles or echoes out when climbed.

    To add other ladder wood variants, is's need to change the ladder recipe. For example, to replace the central stick with planks.

    I agree, it is also worth adding the ability to freely build the ladder up and down if one of the parts is fixed on a solid block.

    The different woods would be great for making multifloor mazes with hard to find ladders as the blend better with the wall.
