Ladder
Ladders are a simple block that allows the player to climb vertically. They can also be used as filters for the hopper.

Placement
Like torches, a ladder occupies one block from the side on which it is placed and cannot be placed on glass, leaves, ice, half-slabs, or glowstone blocks. Also like torches, ladders can be washed off by water.
Usage
To climb a ladder, simply push against the wall. Holding the sneak key while climbing a ladder will grab hold of the ladder, to prevent you from falling off. Any mob can climb a ladder in the same way a player does: by pushing against it. Mobs are not smart enough to deliberately use ladders — they won't stay on a ladder to get somewhere, but a ladder directly in their straight-line path (or if they turn in the process) will let them climb up.
When inserted as a filter for a hopper, ladders block solid blocks but allow items.
