Iron Ladders
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.



The mod adds new ladder variants made from different materials. More expensive materials provide faster climbing speed
Features:
- Morph ladders: change appearance without changing stats
- Styler Tool: change a ladder’s look by cycling model variants
- Use the Sensor Tool to add an entity detector that outputs redstone, or the Light Tool to light up ladders
Configuration:
- Adjust ladder speed bonuses (global + per ladder)
- Set the default ladder model (e.g., use the vanilla model)
- Hide uncraftable ladders when required non-vanilla materials are missing
- Toggle multi-variant ladder visuals (subtle random texture variations)
Recipes:


Ladder models:
Set a default in the config, or switch models in-game with the Styler Tool

Compatibility with other mods:
- JEI/REI/EMI:
- Read Item descriptions
- Hide unavailable ladders from their panels when required materials are missing (configurable)
- Jade / The One Probe / WTHIT:
- See the current ladder morph/model state
- See whether attachments are hidden by the Casing Tool
- Get contextual hints while using ladder tools
You are welcome to use this mod in modpacks.
