Minecraft:Frosted Ice

Template:Redirect Template:Infobox block Frosted ice is a translucent block created when a Minecraft:mob or Minecraft:entity wearing Minecraft:Frost Walker-enchanted Minecraft:boots moves over Minecraft:water. It cannot be obtained as an Minecraft:item and will quickly crack and melt if exposed to Minecraft:light or Minecraft:sunlight.

Obtaining

Frosted ice only exists as an item Template:In, where it can be obtained using Template:Cmd. Otherwise it can be placed with Template:Cmd or Template:Cmd.

Breaking

Frosted ice does not have a preferred Minecraft:tool, meaning it breaks at the same speed regardless of the tool used to mine it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Breaking it with Minecraft:Silk Touch drops nothing, while breaking in any other manner produces water in the same way Minecraft:ice does.

Post-generation

Frosted ice is generated by players or mobs walking near water while wearing boots with the Minecraft:Frost Walker enchantment. Frost Walker II creates a larger area of frosted ice. It can also be created by Minecraft:armor stands equipped with Frost Walker boots if they are pushed near water.

Usage

Frosted ice behaves in most ways like Minecraft:ice: it is slightly slippery, causing entities to slide, including items.

Frosted ice naturally melts fairly quickly. The block is created with an age of 0, and is Minecraft:ticked every 1–2 seconds. If a Template:Frac chance succeeds or the block has fewer than 4 frosted ice blocks in the 6 blocks surrounding it, and the Minecraft:internal light level at the block would be greater than 11 minus the age, then the age is incremented. When the age reaches 4, the block turns into water and all adjacent blocks have their age incremented (but if these blocks melt also, the effect does not continue to cascade). This does mean that in places with low light levels, such as underground, at night or in Minecraft:the End, it never melts unless broken with few enough frosted ice blocks surrounding it.

The melting speed of frosted ice is affected by the randomTickSpeed Minecraft:game rule: setting the value to 0 results in frosted ice not melting at all, while setting it to higher than default increases the melting speed.

When a frosted ice block melts or is broken, any adjacent frosted ice block immediately melts if it has fewer than 2 frosted ice blocks remaining in the 6 blocks surrounding it.

Minecraft:Sugar cane and other Minecraft:crops do not break when frosted ice is formed, and frosted ice does not form on water occupied by another entity.
