An ice ball is a throwable item that deals damage based on its speed toward a target. It can also be used as a Minecraft:brewing ingredient for potions of Freezing.

Usage

Projectile

Ice balls can be thrown as projectiles to deal Minecraft:damage and knockback to entities. Their damage is dependent on how fast they are moving, with the formula <math>1.3\cdot\text{speed}</math> (in blocks per tick) rounded up. This can be influenced by how fast the player is moving when they throw the ice ball.

Unlike Minecraft:snowballs, ice balls do not deal additional damage to Minecraft:blazes. The attacker can hit themself with ice balls. When a player dies to an ice ball, the death message displayed is "<player> was pummeled by <player/mob>".
