Ice is a block that spawns naturally in Cold Biomes. It allows the player to walk faster on it, and the player will slide if he/she stops moving. It converts into Water when broken/melted if there is a block beneath it, specifically, Stationary Water.

When broken, it makes the same sound as Glass.

Obtaining

Ice spawns naturally in cold biomes, however, it cannot be obtained by breaking it with normal tools. It can only be obtained by breaking it using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch.
