So my friend and I were tooling around on our Minecraft Server and went exploring some deep caves. We thought that instead of using mods to fly down safely or trying to make stairs/ladders on our way down it would be much nicer if we could use a rope or something similar, especially with the addition of ravines in 1.8. It could require you to anchor it to a block up top and then you would throw it over the side of a drop and hang there for you to climb up or down with. This would be especially useful when you need to scale a wall that is not flat, making ladders very difficult and would also help to make descending into a new cave or hole in the ground much more expedient.
I know that there are some mods that let you make rope, but in my experience even the mods meant to work in SMP tend not to work very well with new items.

It sounds cool, but I'm always a man of practicality. I just don't know how well you could code an idea liek this and still make it look like "Minecraft". Get what I'm saying? :/
Could be interesting. Maybe once you attach it to a block (placeable on walls or ceilings) it automatically generates "Rope" Blocks something like 25 blocks down, or less if it hits a solid block.
Also, maybe breaking the top rope block should allow you to get the rope back, but breaking it anywhere below that will just destroy any rope blocks below it.

I was thinking something similar earlier: rope could be crafted, perhaps from three string (as rope is pretty much lots of string twisted together anyway), and when a stack was used on a block, it would fall a number of blocks equal to the number of rope items in the stack. Then it would work like vines or ladders, allowing you to safely descend and ascend, except that it could only be undone/re-gathered from the uppermost block. That would make it a useful tool for descending into things like ravines, where there's a straight shot down, without making it too cheap, IMO.
