Posted March 27, 201312 yr Hey everyone, this is my first mod. I learned a lot about how Minecraft and Forge work while doing this one and I expect to make more. Without further ado, let me introduce... Retractable Ladders 1.0 Retractable Ladders adds two new blocks to the game: A retractable ladder machine and a rope ladder to fill it up with. Rope Ladder This is a type of ladder made from vines and planks. It can only be placed on a wall if there is a solid block above it, or another rope ladder to attach to. Retractable Ladder Machine The machine itself can be oriented any direction except facing up and down, and must be filled with rope ladders to operate. When supplied with a redstone signal, it will cause the ladder to unroll as far as it can (when it runs out of rope ladders or it can't reach any further) and then retract. I tried to make the ascend/descend speeds match how fast the player ascends/descends. If the machine is reactivated while retracting, it will immediately switch direction and begin descending again.

It will add a few variations of these blocks, modified recipes, new graphics, and perhaps a new feature or two. Also, there is a weird issue that sometimes comes up with the redstone power. I'm not sure even when/why it happens specifically. All I know is that sometimes you need to play with the connection a bit to get it working, but I hope to have that fixed in the update. I look forward to producing more mods in the future! Feedback Comments? Suggestions? Questions? Bugs? Let me know!
March 28, 201312 yr This is actually a really good idea. Will definitely have to add this mod to my pack.
