A pottery shard is an item used to craft decorated pots. It can be found by brushing suspicious sand or suspicious gravel blocks.

Obtaining

Brushing

Pottery shards have a chance to be obtained by brushing suspicious sand or suspicious gravel found in trail ruins, ocean ruins, desert pyramids and desert wells with a brush. The block then gets converted into regular sand or gravel, dropping one of the twenty pottery shard variants:

The '''ice bomb''' is an item that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Obtaining ==

== Usage ==

Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them, similar to an [[egg]]. They are affected by gravity.

Similar to [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.

Ice bombs explode upon hitting most blocks, including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but they do not deal damage, and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, the impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace mobs in ice under water.

While endermen teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs. 

Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in [[ice]].

== Trivia ==

* In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates [[wikipedia:Sodium acetate#Heating pad|hot ice]] (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice.
