Hanging Ladders
by Nerjal_Nosk
Hanging Ladders lets players place ladders against the underside of blocks, so a ladder can hang from a ceiling or an overhang.
What it does
The mod lets ladders be attached to the bottom of blocks, not only to walls and floors. Placement checks the surface on the side, below and above the ladder to confirm it is valid, and a ladder can only hang from a full top or bottom face. Ladders cannot hang from lower-half slabs. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.21.4 – 1.21.7 on Fabric.
Key features
Ceiling ladders
Ladders can be placed hanging from the underside of blocks, giving a way down from ceilings and overhangs.
Placement checks
The surface beside, below and above a ladder is checked before it is placed, so the ladder only attaches where it is supported.
Slab restriction
Ladders cannot hang from lower-half slabs, keeping placements on full block faces.
