Frosted Ice
minecraft:frosted_iceFrosted Ice is a temporary, translucent ice variant created when an entity wearing Frost Walker-enchanted boots walks over water. It slowly melts back into water once it is no longer supported by the enchantment's effect and exposed to light.
Uses
- Frost Walker Travel — Frosted ice forms a slippery path under a walking entity, enabling fast movement and rapid boat travel across its surface before it melts away.
Found In
- Frost Walker Boots — Generated dynamically when a player or mob wearing boots enchanted with Frost Walker walks over water; it is not found naturally in world generation.
FAQ
Can I mine and keep Frosted Ice?
No. Breaking it releases the water underneath and yields no item, even with Silk Touch.
How do I create Frosted Ice?
Wear boots enchanted with Frost Walker and walk over a water source; the water beneath and around your feet converts to frosted ice temporarily.
Why does Frosted Ice disappear on its own?
It is unstable and melts back into water within seconds once it is no longer being refreshed by the Frost Walker effect, especially near light sources.
Does Frosted Ice affect boat speed?
Yes. Boats travel unusually fast when sliding across frosted ice, faster than on regular ice.
