Template:For

Template:Infobox block Ice is a transparent Minecraft:block formed from frozen Minecraft:water, which it can melt into if broken or exposed to bright light. Its top face is slippery for most entities and causes ridden Minecraft:boats to move at high speeds.

Obtaining

Breaking

Ice can be easily destroyed without Minecraft:tools, but the use of a Minecraft:pickaxe speeds up the process. However, the block drops only when using a tool enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch. If mined without Silk Touch, the block drops nothing and instead is replaced with Minecraft:water if there is a block under the ice block. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Ice can be found naturally as part of the landscape in snowy biomes, from frozen rivers, and frozen oceans in which it replaces the top layer of water exposed to the sky. It also appears as part of the landscape in ice spikes, snowy slopes, and frozen peaks biomes. It can also be found in igloosTemplate:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> as a window and in the ice box of ancient cities. It most commonly appears at Y=62.

Post-generation

Snowy biomes

Template:See also Minecraft:Water source blocks in a snowy Minecraft:biome eventually freeze into ice if exposed to the sky from directly above, the block light level inside the water block is less than 10, and there is at least one horizontally adjacent non-water block. This includes non-solid blocks, even air, and it includes diagonally adjacent blocks; however, waterlogged blocks do not count. This can happen at any time of day and in any weather condition.

Minecraft:Water also freezes into ice in cold biomes with a base temperature of ≤ 0.05 Template:Info needed, as long as the altitude is high enough for snowfall. Ice does not form in Cold Ocean, Deep Cold Ocean, and Deep Frozen Ocean biomes.

Ice formation occurs as part of chunk ticking, so it requires a player to be nearby, similar to crop growth and grass spreading. The speed of ice formation is affected by the game rule randomTickSpeed.Template:Info needed

Ice bomb

Template:Exclusive

When an ice bomb is thrown into water, it transforms the water in a 3×3×3 cube centered around the projectile into ice. This affects source water and flowing water.

Usage

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage Despite being created by a 3×3 recipe, packed ice is not a storage block, because it cannot be crafted back into ice. The same applies to the next tier of compression, blue ice.

Speed

Ice is slightly slippery, causing entities (excluding Minecraft:minecarts<ref>Template:Bug</ref>) to slide, including items. This allows for increased speed of items in water currents, by placing ice blocks under the water current. Items already travel at high speeds in water currents because they float, so ice block water streams are less necessary for item transportation.

A player who sprints and jumps repeatedly on ice travels faster than on any other block type. The player can travel even faster if they sprint and spam Template:Control in a 2-block-high corridor with ice on the floor, allowing the player to accelerate to extremely high speeds, although this costs a lot of hunger.

Template:IN, when a non-full block is placed on top of ice, the block has the same "slipperiness" as the ice below it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Boat highway

Like other entities, Minecraft:boats travel extremely quickly on ice and can reach a speed of 40 m/s, much faster than the 8 m/s speed on Minecraft:water.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> More beneficially, unlike water, ice can be placed in Minecraft:the Nether, allowing players to construct boat highways made of ice or blue ice, to make use of the 1:8 distance travel ratio and travel at an equivalent speed of up to 320 m/s (720 mph or 1152 kph) between locations in the Minecraft:Overworld. Furthermore, using blue ice will make the boat move 1.8 times faster than normal ice.

Creating water

Ice can be used to create water either by its melting or being broken. If there is a movement-blocking block or any Minecraft:fluid directly underneath the ice block, the ice becomes a water source block when broken.

Ice also melts into Minecraft:water if the block light level immediately next to it on any side is higher than 11, even if there is no block below it. Sky light level is ignored, therefore ice does not melt from sunlight. Template:IN, ice also melts when near a heat block, though heat blocks do not produce light.

Compared to water buckets, ice has the benefit of being able to stack in the inventory. Therefore, carrying ice instead of water buckets can be much more convenient, if the player wants to create a lot of water sources.

If ice melts or is broken in Minecraft:the Nether, no water is produced. However, unlike from using a water bucket, no smoke particles are produced either.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb ice, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the hockey puck/fast sliding effect to the mob when hitting it.

Trivia

By Minecraft: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 Minecraft:minecart. By replacing the 2-block ceiling with Minecraft:trapdoors, it's possible to travel 1000 blocks in 54 seconds, or 18.518 blocks per second. However, this drains the player's hunger bar extremely quickly at roughly 1 unit per second.
Sugar cane can be generated next to ice, though they drop as items if updated. This can be observed at random when running through a snowy biome.
Attempting to set ice on fire with a flint and steel causes no flames to appear, but the flint and steel's durability still decreases by 1.Template:Only The same thing happens with Minecraft:glass and the sides of non-flammable blocks.
Ice is classified as a transparent block and therefore does not conduct Minecraft:redstone.
Minecraft:Snow layers are the only transparent block that cannot be placed on ice.
When a player holds an ice block, the normals of the smaller model are flipped inside out, giving a strange effect, as if the model was flipped upside-down.

-* By [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft:minecart]]. By replacing the 2-block ceiling with [[Minecraft:trapdoor]]s, it's possible to travel 1000 blocks in 54 seconds, or 18.518 blocks per second. However, this drains the player's [[Minecraft:hunger]] bar extremely quickly at roughly 1 unit per second.

-* Attempting to set ice on fire with a [[Minecraft:flint and steel]] causes no flames to appear, but the flint and steel's durability still decreases by 1.{{only|bedrock}} The same thing happens with [[Minecraft:glass]] and the sides of non-flammable blocks.

 * Ice is classified as a transparent block and therefore does not conduct [[Minecraft:redstone]].
 * [[Minecraft:Snow]] layers are the only transparent block that cannot be placed on ice.
