Usage

Ice bombs can be thrown by Template:Control them, similar to an Minecraft:egg. They are affected by gravity.

Similar to Minecraft:ender pearls, 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:eggs and Minecraft:snowballs, 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:breezes are able to deflect ice bombs.

Trivia

• In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates hot ice (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice.
• Its texture closely resembles a recolored blue version of the Minecraft:ruby, without its outlines.
