An '''ice bomb''' is a throwable [[Minecraft:projectile]] that is used to freeze [[Minecraft:water]] into [[Minecraft:ice]].

== Usage ==
Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them, similar to an [[Minecraft:egg]]. They are affected by gravity.

Similar to [[Minecraft:ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the [[Minecraft:player]] can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.

Ice bombs explode upon hitting most blocks, including non-solid blocks, but not [[Minecraft:air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but they do not take any damage, and unlike [[Minecraft:egg]]s and [[Minecraft:snowball]]s, the impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[Minecraft:water]] (including flowing water, but not [[Minecraft:waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[Minecraft:ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace mobs in ice under water.

While [[Minecraft:endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs.

Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in [[Minecraft:ice]].

In ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft Education]]'', [[Minecraft:breeze]]s are able to deflect ice bombs.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list|projects=mcpe}}

== Trivia ==
* In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Sodium acetate#Heating pad|hot ice]] (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice.
* Its texture closely resembles a recolored blue version of the [[Minecraft:ruby]], without its outlines.
