Villagers are an exciting part of Minecraft, yet they have been the subject of a lot of confusion and debate since the beginning of time in Minecraft. Most players think that villagers can’t climb ladders, but there’s some proof that suggests otherwise… Can Villagers climb Ladders? The answer may surprise you!
Why do villagers need to climb ladders?
To prevent a player from harming villagers, Jens Bergensten, one of Mojang’s principal game designers, created a rule which states that villagers can only spawn 50 blocks away from their nearest village. This means that it’s tough for you if you live near a village and want to collect some resources. That’s why villagers need to be able to climb ladders!

How villagers handle ladders?
Did you know that villagers react differently to ladders depending on what level they are and what profession they have? It’s true! Level 2+ farmers will always look for a ladder, no matter where it is, but level 1-2 farmers won’t. And Blacksmiths and Butchers will move up ladders to get supplies, but not down them. Quite interesting!
What it means to climb a ladder?
Climbing a ladder means moving from one level of activity to another higher one. So if you were climbing a ladder inside a building, it would mean moving from one floor to another higher one. Likewise, climbing a ladder outside would mean going from ground level to another higher plane above your current aircraft.
The term climbs a ladder is a metaphor for how ladders work. When you look at one, you notice two horizontal rails and one vertical one. The rails are called rungs, and they are what you step on to move up. It feels like you’re moving vertically in climbing them because that’s where your vision is focused.

Villager’s ability to climb ladders
The villager has no unique ability to use ladders. A ladder is a narrow channel at a right angle on one or more sides, designed to allow passage. However, unlike most blocks that you can walk through, villagers cannot move through them while climbing. They will have to jump over it and continue walking like usual to move through it.
Ladders in Minecraft
In a village, you may see a villager walking around with a ladder. You might ask yourself, Hey, that villager is using a ladder to walk! Couldn’t I do that too? While villagers can use ladders (and indeed they can), you cannot.
Villager: Pathfinding
Once you’ve found a path, your villager will move to an adjacent valid square on that path. Valid is not an impossible block and within line of sight to one of your houses (or 40 blocks if not connected to a house). If there are no valid squares along your path, it may take more than one attempt to reach its destination. This can be further improved by having more villagers.
What can villagers climb in Minecraft?
In Minecraft, you can’t make villagers walk upstairs. But don’t worry, they can still get where they need to go, as long as you build a ladder for them! Building a ladder for villagers is easy. All you have to do is build a pillar on top of two blocks that are at least five blocks high. If you stand on your head and look down from above, it should look like a staircase with missing steps.
Once you build your ladder, place a villager on top of one of the higher blocks. The villager will jump into another block and then run across all of those until he reaches his destination. It may take him a while to reach his goal, but it beats walking around aimlessly forever!

Conclusion
The question is can villagers climb ladders? But for reasons most of us will never understand, they cannot. Instead of going up, villagers stop at a ladder’s base. They don’t walk up or down; they stop and wait as if they are waiting for someone to tell them what to do next. If there is no other villager nearby and you need to get past that pesky obstruction called a ladder, you must use another block instead.
