Minecraft:Blue Ice
More actions
Blue ice is a solid Minecraft:block similar to packed ice and Minecraft:ice, but much more slippery. It is the fastest ice type for Minecraft:boat riding and can be used to generate Minecraft:basalt in conjunction with soul soil and Minecraft:lava.
Obtaining
Breaking
Blue ice can be obtained using any Minecraft:tool enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, although a Minecraft:pickaxe is the fastest. Breaking the Minecraft:block without Silk Touch drops nothing. Script error: No such module "breaking row".
Natural generation
Blue ice naturally generates on the bottom of icebergs and as large arching structures in frozen ocean Minecraft:biomes. It also generates as piles in some snowy plains village houses, and in ancient cities. Rarely, an iceberg generates entirely made of blue ice.

Crafting
Template:Crafting It takes 81 regular Minecraft:ice made into packed ice to create a single blue ice block.
Trading
Wandering traders occasionally sell blue ice for 6 Minecraft:emeralds. Template:Trade sources
Mob loot
in Template:Editions, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 blue ice when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.
Usage
Blue ice is slippery, causing most entities to slide, including Minecraft:items. It is even more slippery (0.989) than Minecraft:ice or packed ice (0.98). This allows for increased speed of items in Minecraft:water currents by placing the blue ice under the water current. Minecraft:Mobs do not travel faster in water currents on blue ice.
Minecraft:Boats can travel even faster on blue ice than on either normal ice or packed ice, being able to reach a top speed of 72.73 m/s (as opposed to 40 m/s on ice and packed ice). Ice tracks built from blue ice, packed ice, or a combination are useful for long-range travel in all three dimensions.
Blue ice is a completely solid Minecraft:block and allows the placement of any objects on top.
Unlike normal ice, blue ice does not melt when placed near light sources.
Blue ice can be used to create Minecraft:basalt. When Minecraft:lava flows into a space above soul soil and next to blue ice, basalt is formed. This can be used in a basalt generator.
Blue ice is not a storage block, as it cannot be crafted back into packed ice.
Sulfur cube
Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blue 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.
