Step 1: Walk up to your crafting table and right-click to open the 3×3 crafting grid.
Step 2: Place seven sticks in an H pattern, as shown in the screenshot below.
Step 3: Once the ladder is crafted, move it to your inventory.
Alternatively, you can also use a command to get ladders if you want to craft them. All you have to do is open your chatbox and enter the following command depending upon which version you’re playing. Keep in mind that this method requires cheats to be enabled in your world.
