Trivia

  • Items flowing in Water over Ice will go much faster.
  • When Ice is broken, it makes the same breaking sound as Glass.
  • Blocks of Water⃂₠in Arctic Biomes will occasionally freeze, forming blocks of Ice.
  • If placed under Soul Sand, the player will move slower on the Soul Sand than if the Ice Block was not there.
  • If Ice is placed directly next to Lava or Water, the liquid will be invisible.
  • By sprinting and jumping while on Ice and inside a 2-block tall tunnel, it is possible to move 16 blocks a second, twice as fast as a full-speed minecart. By replacing the 2-block ceiling with trapdoors, it`s possible to travel 1000 blocks in 54 seconds, or 18.518 blocks per second. However, this will drain the player`s hunger bar extremely quickly at roughly 1 unit per second.
  • Ice can be melted by any block or item that omits a high light level.
  • Ice in the Pocket Edition does not have the same transparency as in the PC version.

Info

Marsh Davies Mojang avatar.png The slippery properties of ice make it a surprisingly useful block. Pour water across its surface and items and players can move super fast in the direction of the water’s flow. Try dashing across ice enclosed in a two-block-high tunnel, and you’ll zip along at twice the speed of a minecart! Why? Because of SCIENCE. Well, it’s either that or a bug relating to how ground friction is calculated, but I’m going with science - and only partly because I fear Jens Jens Bergensten Real name Jens Bergensten Date of birth May 18, 1979 (age 38) 1] 2] Occupation Lead creative designer Nationality Swedish Languages English, Swedish 3] Spouse Jenny Bergensten 4] Children 1 5] Website oxeyegames.com Known minecraft ’ kung fu training.

Trivia

  • If a player rides a pig on ice using a saddle, the pig moves incredibly fast, making journeys across long frozen lakes easier.
  • By sprinting and jumping while on ice and inside a 2-block tall tunnel, it is possible to move 16 blocks a second, twice as fast as a full-speed minecart. By replacing the 2-block ceiling with trapdoors, it`s possible to travel 1000 blocks in 54 seconds, or 18.518 blocks per second. Be that as it may, this will drain the player`s hunger bar extremely quickly at roughly 1 unit per second.
  • Sugar cane can be found next to ice, though when updated they will drop as items. This can be observed at random when running through a snowy biome.
  • If you try to set ice on fire with a flint and steel no flames will appear, but the flint and steel will still act as if it had been used (its durability will decrease slightly). The same thing happens with glass and the sides of non-flammable blocks.
  • Ice is not transparent in Pocket Edition. However items/blocks that cannot be placed on transparent blocks such as ice (i.e. torches) still may not be placed.

Natural generation

Ice can be found naturally as part of the landscape in snowy biomes from frozen lakes, rivers, and oceans. It can also be found in igloos Igloo Biome Ice Plains, Cold Taiga Consists of Snow White Carpet Light Gray Carpet Ice (Packed Ice in Pocket Edition.) Redstone Torch Furnace Bed (Brown Bed, Light Blue Bed or White Bed) in Pocket Edition. minecraft .

Water source blocks in a snowy biome will eventually freeze into ice if exposed to the sky from directly above, the light level immediately adjacent to the water block on all sides is less than 13, and there is at least one horizontally adjacent non-water block. This can happen at any time of day, and in any weather Weather shown in 2 biomes Weather in Minecraft consists of occasional precipitation and storms that are temporary but global. 1] Contents 1 Behavior 2 Effects 2.1 Rain 2.2 Snow 2.3 Thunderstorm 2.3.1 Lightning 3 Video minecraft condition. If the highest adjacent light level is 12, an ice block will alternately melt and re-freeze when it receives a block tick.

Water will also freeze into ice in Extreme Hills biomes above the level that snow forms.

Usage

Ice is slightly slippery, causing entities to slide, including items. This also allows for increased speed in water currents by placing the ice block under the water current. If a player runs and jumps repeatedly on ice, they will travel faster than they would on any other block type.

When a non-full block is placed on top of ice, the block has the same "slipperiness" as the ice below it; although, if ice is placed below soul sand Soul Sand Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 2.5 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data value dec: 88 hex: 58 bin: 1011000 Name soul_sand “ Only in the fiery caverns of the Nether, minecraft , it just increases the slowing effect of the soul sand rather than making it slippery.

    Mechanics

    The presence of ice can be used as an indicator of a Tundra, Taiga, or Ice Plains Spikes Biome. A player can break ice without a Tool, but will do so fastest with a Pickaxe. Ice is very similar to Snow,⃂₠in the sense that it melts when it comes into close proximity of Fire,a Torch, or Lava. Ice is not affected by fire, but when melted with lava, it will produce Water. This will also happen if ice is destroyed and there is a block beneath it.

    Ice produces a "slippery" effect when moving across its surface. Players can Sprint faster across ice, than other surfaces. Entities and Items may slide a distance across a patch of ice.

    Uses

    Ice does not commonly have a use, and was most likely implemented in Minecraft for show and visual effect. Ice cannot naturally be gathered. However, if a Pickaxe has the Silk Touch Enchantment, Ice can successfully be gathered without destroying it.

    Ice can be used to make traps, but is not efficient in this as water makes a better substitute in moving mobs. Melted Ice will disappear in the Nether.

    In Mob traps, Ice is great for making faster Mob delivery systems. Water traveling over Ice propels items and Mobs faster, decreasing the amount of time the Player must wait.
