Did you come home from a long day of work or maybe took off work early because the update unexpectedly came out the day before?
Only to find this?... I know I did.... both the work early part and the minecart wreck...
Don't Panic! (Which I Did)... I found a fix!
New Set Up!... Works with either Paintings/Item Frames.. Which at a limit of 200 per map are a hot commodity so ask yourselves... Do you want to use up those precious frames/paintings on a Minecart Elevator fix......
Yes! The answer is Yes....Quit asking yourself stupid questions.
So Now where the ladder would be place an Item frame/Painting and since apparently they can occupy the same space as a ladder, place the ladder on the opposite side.(The ladder will soften the fall..... No ladder means you fall right thru taking some damage )
If you have a mild case of some sort of Minecraft Induced OCD I recommend Item Frames... Otherwise you'll be smacking those signs off trying to get a matching painting and well you know that can be time consuming.

Kinda funny, up until around tu7 I always looked forward to patch days. Not so much anymore... lol! I haven't even gotten home to download it and am already making a list of things to fix. Looks like my 13 story full furnished skyscraper is gonna have a BUNCH of minecarts in the lobby. yay!
Does this mean ladders will no longer hold back water or lava as well? this could be a problem for me.

Is that 200 total or of each?
200 is the combined # for item frames and paintings... seem to count as the same thing,, So 100 paintings 100 itemframes BAM! limit hit.. problem is when you do go over the item in the item frame disappears along with it.... :/ no bueno.
The good thing about the minecart elevator mess up is at least it didnt turn them into items they're still carts so no lost carts on that deal..from best I can tell water and lava is still held up by ladders... haven't ran into a flaming or soggy mess as of yet.
lol to the Lobby mess you're gonna encounter.

Nice find, but I'm not fond of the idea of needing twice as many items to get my elevator working again. I use the minecarts for going up and the ladders going down, so the ladders are mandatory for me.
They should just change these to firepoles or something along those lines... because that's essentially how they behave now.
EDIT!*!*!*!*!* My Genius Friend Feeqs from my server suggested trap doors! guess what? One simple trip to Creative Mode confirms it!... So simple.. so elegant plus no Item Frames or Paintings need it so go ahead and use them for some chest labeling room or whatever it is that you will use them for.... just not to hold up minecarts anymore!....

While trap doors may be suitable for some, they're not great to me. The ladder allows you to stand on top of them, which allowed me to then use it to exit the top minecart and then walk up the stairs I placed on the sides to get out onto that "floor". I now must create an additional minecart elevator floor and drop down to the top floor. Also, misclicking on the minecart and closing the trap door will cause your minecart to drop, thus requiring you to take time to tediously find a way to get back on that level to replace it.
I'm just unhappy overall with the ladder nerf.
Also, the inability to stand on top of a ladder renders using trap doors useless. No longer can you have a ladder passage topped off with a trap door because you can no longer stand on top of the ladder to jump out. If this isn't a bug, then this has got to be the worst planned "bonus feature" in Minecraft's history.
*UPDATE* Ladders will hold up the Minecart again... so no need for trap doors... which trap doors work but can accidentally get activated to open and cause a mess... so ladders .. go with ladders people
