Ice is a translucent solid block formed in snowy Biomes (formerly winter worlds) from exposed water, and is slightly slippery. Ice blocks can be obtained using any tool with the silk touch enchantment.
Ice can be easily destroyed without tools, but the use of a pickaxe speeds up the process. If there is another block directly underneath the ice block, it will revert to water when broken. If not, it will shatter without producing water. Due to its transparency, ice cannot have Torches placed on it directly. However, even though ice is non-transparent in Pocket Edition, torches still cannot be placed on it.
When a slab is placed on top of ice, the slab has the same "slipperiness" as the ice below it. This applies to every other block with a hit-box that is lesser than a full block. (This does not work in Pocket Edition with slabs, but does with the closed trapdoors.)
Ice will also melt into water if the light level immediately next to it on any side is sufficiently high (greater than 11), from light sources other than sunlight. Conversely, a water block in a snowy biome will eventually freeze into ice if exposed to the sky from directly above, and the light level immediately adjacent to the water block on all sides is sufficiently low (less than 13). This can happen at any time of day, and in any weather condition. If the highest adjacent light level is 12, an ice block will alternately melt and re-freeze when it receives a block tick. Water will not freeze into ice unless there is a solid block adjacent to it, such as dirt or another block of ice.
Items and broken blocks move extremely fast when in water that is flowing over ice. This is particularly useful for transporting resources using water currents because items will keep sliding on ice blocks when they are dropped at an angle, even if water is not placed on top. However, as stated before, light melts the ice, and if there are no torches around a zombie could sit there and pick up your precious items. However, Packed Ice is melt resistant. It is non renewable, but this shouldn't be a problem since it comes in huge quantities.
Potential uses
- The repeated thawing and freezing at light level 12 can be used to make a redstone noise generator. Use a BUD to catch the random events.
- If creating a water slide, ice blocks can be used as the bottom pieces of the slide to speed up item movement.
- Because items exiting a water flow will continue to slide on up to two blocks on ice, sequences of flowing water over ice can be used to transport items indefinitely with no vertical drop necessary.
- Items that exit water flowing over ice can slide up to nine blocks on ice.
- The player can use Silk Touch to collect ice blocks and place them in the Nether. However, they don't make water when broken or melted.
- Making a 2-block high hallway with an ice floor, and trapdoors above the ice then sprint-jumping down it causes the fastest possible speed in the game. However, this will rapidly deplete the player's hunger bar.
- The player can build structures with ice in a tundra biome by putting dirt (or any other blocks) around the walls that will be built. After the player lays out one level of dirt, the player can pour water into the layout with buckets until all blocks have become ice. After this, make another level and repeat. There should be no blocks anywhere above the block of water the player wants to freeze, since water will not freeze with blocks directly above it.
- When placed on ice, Cobweb's & Soul Sand's slowing effect will be greatly increased. This makes it helpful for live capture traps.
- Ice can be used as a stackable water source.
- The player can build structures with ice floor so items slip from 6-8 blocks away when thrown, this can be used to play "mini golf" by throwing items and trying to get them into a specific block, such as holes or any other block different than ice such as a hopper.
- Ice blocks behind other ice blocks are invisible. This makes for a great ice maze. Other items that don't show behind ice are water and lava. However, if lava is one block away from the ice, the ice will melt into a water block.
Farming Ice
Since Minecraft 1.3, Ice can now legitimately be obtained in survival mode, with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe. That being said, farming ice can now be done if a contraption is made in that it can constantly create infinite water sources. This would have to be done in a snow biome in order for the ice to replace the water source blocks.

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.
== Obtaining ==
The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].
== Usage ==
=== Brewing ingredient ===
Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.
== Usage ==
The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.
A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].
It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].

'''Chorus fruit''' is a [[food]] [[item]] native to [[the End]] that can be eaten, or [[smelting|smelted]] into [[Popped Chorus Fruit|popped chorus fruit]]. It can be eaten even when the hunger bar is full, and eating it may teleport the [[player]] up to 8 blocks in any direction.
== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Chorus fruit farming}}
Chorus fruit can be obtained by breaking [[Chorus Plant (block)|chorus plant blocks]]. Each block of chorus plant has a 50% chance to drop a chorus fruit. This is not affected by [[Fortune]].<ref>{{bug|MC-198924||Chorus Fruit doesn't have a higher chance with Fortune|Invalid}}</ref>
== Usage ==
To eat chorus fruit, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 2.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
Unlike most foods, chorus fruits can be eaten when the player has a full hunger bar.
The player may also be [[teleportation|teleported]]: up to 16 attempts are made to choose a random destination within ±8 on all three axes in the same manner as [[Enderman#Teleportation|enderman teleportation]], with the exception that the player may teleport into an area only 2 blocks high, or one block tall if the player is crawling. The player does not land in the average centroid of the block, but rather to any position within an 8-block range. The player will be teleported directly down to the ground regardless of the height it was used at if the player is too far from a valid destination.
The chorus fruit, unlike an [[Ender Pearl|ender pearl]], can teleport the player through [[solid block]]s. The algorithm tries to avoid [[fluid]]s; the player cannot teleport into a space occupied by [[water]] or [[lava]]. However, the player can be teleported onto dangerous blocks such as fire, cacti and magma blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-102836||Enderman and chorus fruit can teleport to some dangerous places}}</ref>
If a teleport succeeds, a sound similar to an enderman teleporting plays originating from the teleportation origin location. Chorus fruit has a cooldown of 1 second before being able to be used again. The cooldown is represented by a white overlay on the chorus fruit in the hotbar. The cooldown is applied to all chorus fruits items, including those in the player's inventory and containers.<ref>{{bug|MC-88236|||WAI}}</ref>
Eating chorus fruit may teleport the player into areas protected by [[bedrock]], [[barrier|barrier blocks]], or other blocks that are otherwise unbreakable in [[Survival]] mode. However, it cannot teleport the player onto [[the Nether]] roof.<ref>{{bug|MC-84198|||Fixed}}</ref>
Chorus fruit is completely non-functional above the nether roof.
[[Fox]]es can also eat chorus fruit and the teleportation effect works the same as with players.

A '''chalkboard''' is a [[block]] that can display more text than a [[sign]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-slates-posters-boards/</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board).
== Obtaining ==
In ''[[Education Edition]]'', chalkboards can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] or through the {{cmd|give}} command.
In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors.
== Usage ==
A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen.
=== Placement ===
Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the chalkboard.
1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards.
=== Text ===
When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor.
While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line.
After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered.
=== Interaction ===
Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them.
Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving.
Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board.
[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn.

Issues
Issues relating to "Ice" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- If a player rides a pig on ice using a saddle, the pig moves incredibly fast, making journeys across long frozen lakes easier.
- By sprinting and jumping while on ice and inside a 2-block tall tunnel, it is possible to move 16 blocks a second, twice as fast as a full-speed minecart. By replacing the 2-block ceiling with trapdoors, it's possible to travel 1000 blocks in 54 seconds, or 18.518 blocks per second. However, this will drain the player's hunger bar extremely quickly at roughly 1 unit per second.
- Ice isn't as translucent as glass, so light passes through ice blocks diffusely, reducing the light level by 2 per ice block.
- Ice doesn't look transparent in the inventory or when your character holds it but will look translucent when placed.
- Along with Portals and Water, Ice is one of the few blocks that uses translucent pixels (colored but still semi-transparent) in the default Minecraft texture pack.
- If viewed through a portal, ice is invisible and the ground beneath it can be seen.
- Although it is seemingly translucent, water cannot be seen through ice, nor can other ice blocks. The same thing happens when ice is placed with lava. This only occurs with blocks in close vicinity unlike water where the ice can be any distance from it.
- It is possible to see the edges of chunks through ice, but only in "Fast" graphics setting.
- Sugar cane can be found next to ice, though when updated they will drop as items. This can be observed at random when running through a snowy biome.
- If you try to light ice on fire with a flint and steel no flames will appear, but the flint and steel will still act as if it had been used (its durability will decrease slightly). The same thing happens with glass.
- If an ocean biome is beside a snow biome, "ice shelves" may be formed.
- If the user is playing on a non-snow Alpha map generated before the Halloween update, as of 1.6, oceans may freeze over because of ice regeneration in the newly generated snow biomes. [1]
- Water can only freeze if there is at least one horizontally adjacent non-water block. This makes ponds, rivers, etc. freeze from the edges in to the middle.
- Ice is not transparent in Pocket Edition. However, items/blocks that cannot be placed on transparent blocks such as ice (i.e. torches) still may not be placed.
- Mobs can not spawn on ice.
- If a chest is placed on ice, it will have the same slippery effect as ice
- If an ice block is melted by a light source, it will not cause a block update. This can be used to make "floating" water blocks without signs, ladders, pressure plates, etc.
