Update 0.8.0 |
Ice is a Block added in Update 0.8.0.
Obtaining[]
Ice spawns naturally in cold biomes; however, it cannot be obtained by breaking it with normal Tools. It can only be obtained by breaking it using a tool Enchanted with Silk Touch.
Usage[]
Ice allows the Player to walk faster on it, and the Player will slide if he/she stops moving. It converts into Water when broken/melted if there is a block beneath it, specifically stationary water.
Trivia[]
- When broken, it makes the same sound as Glass.
- Packed Ice is a non-meltable variant of Ice found only in Ice Spikes biomes, and is more translucent.
- Ice will melt if any illuminating block is placed nearby, or if it is placed in a sunny biome.
- Ice will melt in the Nether, but it will not release water.
- Bedrock Exclusive: When a Carpet is placed on Ice and the Player drops an Item onto the Ice, it will still slide on top of the carpet above the ice.
- As of Update 1.2, Ice is now transparent.
