It can be found in rivers, oceans, igloos, icebergs, ice spikes, and snowy slopes. Players can make their own ice by placing water in cold biomes. The water will eventually turn into ice that can be picked up by the player with a pickaxe enchanted with silk touch. If mined without Silk Touch the block will drop nothing. A river covered with ice (via screenshot) What is the use of Ice You can turn ice into packed ice which doesn't melt near bright light sources. Since items and entities that are on top of ice blocks tend to slip around. This special property allows players to use them in a lot of ways. Speed Ice is a slippery block that allows players to increase the speed of items in water currents by placing ice blocks underneath the water. Items that are in water currents travel quickly and by placing ice blocks below the water current, you can increase the speed of the items. 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 jump in a 2-block-high corridor with ice on the floor. This allows the player to accelerate and reach extremely high speeds, although this will cost them a lot of hunger. An item transporting system (via screenshot) Boat Highways Like other items and entities, boats travel extremely quickly on ice blocks. It can reach speeds of up to 72m/s which is much faster than its 8m/s speed on the water. Unlike water, you can place ice blocks in the nether allowing you to construct massive boat highways to travel large distances by making use of the 1:8 travel ratio between the Nether and Overworld. A boat highway (via screenshot) Creating Water Ice can be used to create water by either melting it or by breaking the block. If there is a block directly under the block of ice, the ice will turn into water when broken. Ice will melt if it is exposed to a light level higher than 11. 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. Conclusion Ice blocks are used to create water sources, boat highways, and help transport items quicker. They are slippery so it is recommended to be careful while walking on them. Ice is also used to craft packed ice. FAQs Q How to make ice blocks A. You can turn water into ice by playing a source of water in a cold enough biome. Q Can you turn snow into ice A.
