Ok, first go into your main class. Type this above the load method:

public static Block ham;

This line says that "This is a block!"
Now below the load method, type these lines:

ham = new BlockHam(3000, Material.rock).setUnlocalizedName("ham");
GameRegistry.registerBlock(ham);
LanguageRegistry.addName(ham, "Block of Ham");

The line, is saying that ham id is 3000, the material should act like rock (stone) and it's code name is ham.
GameRegistry registers the block.
LanguageRegistry gives the block a name.
You should have an error under BlockHam. Create the class BlockHam.
Have the class extend Block, type extends Block after BlockHam
Add the constructor by hovering over BlockHam.
Now if you test the game, you should have a new block. (To find it, search in the search bar.)

Now, you should already have a Block made. (If not, see my first tut)
Now, go to the line that says:

ham = new BlockHam(3000) etc.....

Now add to the end of the line, any of the following commands (most common)

.setHardness(#F)
.setResistance(#F)
.setLightValue(#F)
.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock)

# = number
F = float, don't mind this.

First, go above the load method and type:

public static CreativeTab pig = new TabPig("Pig", 20);

20 = ID
Pig = Unique Tab ID (Not to be confused with 20)
You should get an error under TabPig, so create the class. (TabPig)
Have the class extend CreativeTabs by typing:

extends CreativeTabs

Import creativeTabs, so your class should should look like this.

package piggy;
public class TabPig extends CreativeTabs{
}

You should get an error under TabPig. Add the constructor. The second one I believe.
Your class should look like this:

package piggy;
public class TabPig extends CreativeTabs{
public void TabPig(String label, int id){
	 super(label);
}
}

Now, to give it a name, add this to the class:

public void getTranslatedTabLabel(){
return "Piggy Tab";
}

Now if you test it out, you should get your tab!

The easiest way, is to go into your BlockNAME or ItemNAME class.
Then, go into the constructor and type:

this.setCreativeTab(Main.pig);

Ok, ladders are very easy to add. First create a normal block.
But in the line that has:

ladder = new BlockPigLadder(3001, Material.rock) etc...

Erase Material.rock.
Go into your Blockxxxx Class and have it extend BlockLadder instead of Block.

Go to your main class. Then type this in the load method:

GameRegistry.addSmelting(stick.itemID,(new ItemStack(Item.apple)), 3F);

Stick is what you put in, which must have a .blockID or .itemID after it because it's a integer, and Item.apple is what you receive. 3F, is a float, is how much XP you receive.
