About this project
What does Useful Ladders add?
Introduces a stress system for ladders. It is highly configurable. You can make the max stress infinite, set a specific amount of blocks without support or deactivate the feature completely.
As long as the stress doesn't hit the max amount, you can keep placing ladders one on top of the other (or below, making a hanging ladder). If you break the supports, all the ladders will break and drop except the ones that are still supported within the stress systems.
Now available for NeoForge 1.21.1!
Use Sturdy Ladders from a solid block to stack them upwards. Use Rope Ladders to stack them downwards! Ladders have a small chance of returning some of the string used to make them. This is configurable.
Climb up easily!

Or go down safely!
