There should be ropes in Minecraft. Kinda like ladders, but they are a separate block, they don't have to be attached to something. They could be made from three strings on top of each other. They could be hung from the ceiling, or the top of a block.
Yes, as a previous poster said, this would be an interesting suggestion. Sadly, it has been suggested many times already, and it would be of your interest to consistently search before you attempt to suggest something; many ideas have been reiterated over, and over again.
First off, the ropes idea is an interesting one. But, what is the problem with ladders? Unless you're making some high-tech helicopter that needs you to hang ropes off of a helicopter to get onto it, you could just make a staircase, or a landing zone. Ladders are just as efficient when attempting to get to a high point in the map, or trying to get up your "base." It's not time consuming to place ladders. It's not messy to make a stairwell with blocks.
Where would you hang it off of? Would you be on the starting block, and it would be hung off of that starting block and spawn it right off? Or, would it just be a block in itself, and to be placed in the air? How would it be placed? Would you have to go under the starting block, would you have to go over, or would you have to go to the side? Would it take a lot of complicated coding to make it work? Before making a suggestion, which I thank for at least attempting, try to think it all over. Try to get every aspect of it. How it would be used. How it would be placed. Why it would take precedence over already-existing items that we need not replace at this moment in time.
How would it be made? Ropes aren't made of existing blocks. I'm pretty sure you can't grow cotton right now. Nor flax. Nor other crops that would assist in the production of ropes. Trees can't make ropes. You can't make ropes out of wheat. You could try. Not only that, would you want it to be "expensive," or easy to make, like ladders? Would it be a cousin to the ladder, in the fact that it would take just as much time? Having conflicts with the ladder is a huge thing. When you want to implement new items, you want them to be new, and unique. You want the players to be excited every time you add an update; you don't want them to look forward to just another ladder. Nor do you want Notch to be in his office attempting to figure out miscellaneous, and complex code just to add one simple thing.
Thanks for making a suggestion! Make sure to think it over before making a topic though :wink.gif:.

I'm 13, and I have no idea what a freaking code is, and thanks for totally shooting me down....
It's not my job to figure out how exactly he would make it, it's just an idea...
I just thought ropes would be cool..I have a tree house, and I thought a rope would look good with it.
And by the way, I said "It could be made by putting 3 string on top of each other.", you don't have to "grow" anything.

I thought it was a good idea.
