no, I strongly disagree with the suggestion to add new ladders especially iron ladders adding iron ladders will ruin the game it will take away the aesthetic of minecraft who wants to look at iron ladders and anyway its not realistic to have iron ladders huh how are you gonna carry around a bunch of iron ladders mojang has always prided themselves on some sort of semi realism in minecraft and adding different coloured ladders like different coloured trapdoors is insane! if we have iron ladders what will we have next gold ladders ladders must stay the same it is imperative they do so maybe there could be stone ladders but theyre only available in adventure mode or you cant craft and break them like holes in the rocks to climb upwards
Different wood types for ladders would be interesting. It'd be difficult to give them their own identity like trapdoors have though.
The issue with something like this, is that you'd have to make Stick Variants based on the wood used (Oak Sticks, Cherry Sticks, Warped Stem Sticks) and that's slightly excessive. And then it's as you said, each ladder would possibly have its own look to it like all the doors, but wouldn't be that difficult overall. Going with these things in mind, you wouldn't be able to mix and match stick types, but the recipe wouldn't change from what it is now, or at least it shouldn't.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, hold up, rewind, That's not even possible.

That's a really good point, I hadn't considered stick variants. Only other way around it I could see would be for ladder variants to be mostly metal based such as iron, but in such a case it'd feel somewhat half baked imo.

When adding a new block, it's either for decoration or has a use. Iron ladders and wooden ladders are for the latter; Decoration. They'd help build out an aesthetic people sometimes go for.

I suppose the idea of an iron ladder could be interesting, given metal ladders are also most common IRL. But TBH I think different colours would be too much
Ladder variants would be nice, although at the same time I don't feel like I'm missing much with them not being there.
As for needing to come up with unique types, such as with doors and trapdoors, that's not necessary. Fences are all the same and those still work well. Ladders should follow those and just be recolors.

That would be excessive. I wonder if a simpler way around it would be to change the crafting recipe, like to replace the center stick with a plank, and have the plank type determines the resulting ladder type like it does with fences. If the increased resource cost is a concern, have it result in four ladders instead of three (I think the fence recipe should also result in a higher crafted amount outright, so those could be increased as well, but that's a completely separate matter).
add new ladders
iron ladders

Using the ignore feature here is kinda weird.

What would be the purpose of this?
