Talk:Ice

Fire?
Can you light ice on fire? I know this sounds stupid, but if you can, it should be added, and if not, then is it like the glass thing with Flint and Steel where it still takes up a use? JesusChrist666 22:34, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't test to confirm but I'm sure I've tried it before and you can't. I don't know if it still takes up a use.  A NNOYING  23:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Ice in the Nether
There seems to be a bit of confusion over what happens when ice breaks/melts in the Nether. Can someone confirm whether this works or not? --BransonKP 09:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Spawning Ice
This is my first time building exclusively in an ice biome. Can I pick anyone's brain about...

1. How long does melted/broken ice take to refreeze? Only during blizzards? Is it longer If it is surrounded only by ice blocks (no snow) or only snow blocks (no ice)?

2. Does ice spawn next to "snow blocks" or "snow covered block x"

3. Does "snow covered block x" have to be dirt/sand? (My biome has no naturally occurring ice on snow covered gravel shores. Two solid stone tiles (One full block) covered in snow has also failed to spawn ice in the adjacent water blocks over 3 or more blizzards)

I can contribute a few small things to the page:

1. I've never seen ice initially spawn in more than one layer

2. I have seen ice initially spawn under rocky outcrops, even ones that form surface caves (but not in true caves).

This needs updating. Ice freeze water now. Not sure of the rate. Also i found something interesting. If u have a pillar of water (one source block) and below the pillar of water is ice, the pillar will freeze the source block into ice, just the source block. --Teoh 01:48, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

as far as i can tell... all water blocks turn into ice in snow biomes.. even miles away from ice and snow blocks. i have had water turn into ice in my house--Silverfox6000 06:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Put a light source near your water (best thing is to put a glowstone block/jack-o-lantern under the water). – ultradude25 ( T at 08:24, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, he's saying to light up the water so it doesn't melt --R ocĸetor talk  09:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
