Ice blocks can now be legitimately obtained in survival mode by harvesting them with a Silk Touch enchanted tool. Ice blocks can no longer be collected with the Silk Touch enchantment because of the water loophole above. Mining ice with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch now causes ice to drop, which can then be brought to the Nether as a source of water. Water exposed to snowfall now freezes to ice. Ice no longer turns into water when broken if the ice block has air beneath. The hardness of ice has been increased from 0.1 to 0.5. Ice replaces surface water in Winter Mode worlds. Notch shows interest in adding ice as a slippery block. I can see snow and tiles slowly getting covered in a layer of snow. Notch briefly mentioned, "Winter is an awesome idea. ↑ The block's direct item form has the same id with the block.↑ ID of block's direct item form, which is used in savegame files and addons.While the block is in the process of being broken If ice melts or is broken in the Nether, no water is produced (it sublimates). Therefore, carrying ice instead of water buckets can be much more convenient, if the player wants to create a lot of water sources. In Education and Bedrock editions, ice also melts when near a heat block, though heat blocks do not produce light.Ĭompared to water buckets, ice has the benefit of being able to stack in the inventory. Ice also melts into water if the light level immediately next to it on any side is higher than 11, from light sources other than sunlight, but ice does not melt from sunlight. If there is another block directly underneath the ice block, the ice reverts to water when broken. Ice can be used to create water either by its melting or being broken. More beneficially, unlike water, ice can be placed in the Nether, allowing players to construct boat highways made of ice/blue ice in the dimension, to make use of the 1:8 distance travel ratio, and travel at an equivalent speed up to 320-580 m/s (720-1300 mph) between locations in the Overworld. Like other entities, boats travel extremely quickly on ice/blue ice, where it can reach a speed of 40-72 m/s, much faster than the 8 m/s speed on water. This feature is intentionally programmed into the game.

When a non-full block is placed on top of ice, the block has the same "slipperiness" as the ice below it. The player can travel even faster if they sprint and spam jump in a 2-block-high corridor with ice on the floor, allowing the player to accelerate to extremely high speeds, although this will cost them a lot of hunger. Items already travel at high speeds in water currents because they float, so ice block water streams are less necessary for item transportation.Ī player who sprints and jumps repeatedly on ice travels faster than on any other block type. This allows for increased speed of items in water currents, by placing ice blocks under the water current. Ice is slightly slippery, causing entities (excluding minecarts ) to slide, including items.

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