Forge Creeper Heal is an excellent recovery tool from Creeper episodes.

If you've ever before felt like vanilla ladders in Minecraft Tools were somewhat too slow then give this mod a go.
The Iron Ladder is 1.5x faster than the typical ladder. That is probably a great little increase to what the old ladder offers but isn't too fast to be increased.

Silver ladders are 2x faster than standard ladders. Ideal for mineshafts and a good use for high gold stock.

And Stone Ladders are the speediest at 2.5x normal speed. These are expensive but would be a good "sprinting" speed for climbing ladders. They may work best for lengthy lengths or even quick elevator shafts if you can find the money for them or are in creative method.
