Placing the Ladders

Download Article

Ladders are used for climbing both vertically and horizontally.

  1. 1

    With the ladder in your hand, right click to place a ladder where you want it. Bear in mind the following though:

    • Ladders can only be placed on sides of other blocks
    • A ladder will occupy one block from the side on which it is placed
    • Ladders cannot be placed on glass, ice, leaves or glowstone blocks.
    • Ladders will resist water and create an air pocket.
    • Ladders will resist lava; if used instead of glass, this can allow lava light to shine through a ceiling.

    After placing them against a building, move next to them, and you'll start to go up. Keep holding the button you use to walk forward until you reach the top of the ladder.

    You can use some other fuel sources besides coal, like charcoal, wood blocks and tools, buckets of lava, dried kelp blocks, blaze rods, saplings, wool, sticks, beehives or nests, banners, mushroom blocks, noteblocks, and jukeboxes.

      • It's a good idea to make quite a few ladders before you build a tall structure, so that you can get to the top of it.

        Thanks

      • Library rooms in strongholds will contain naturally occurring ladders. Intersection rooms that have a wooden ceiling will also contain ladders naturally.
