Projectile

Ice balls can be thrown as projectiles to damage entities, dealing more damage the faster they are moving. They have a very sharp deceleration, causing them to deal less damage the further the target is from the attacker.

Unlike Minecraft:snowballs, ice balls do not deal additional damage to Minecraft:blazes.
