Ice naturally occurs in [[Climate#Arctic|colder]] [[climate]]s in place of [[water]]. It will generate from water when [[weather]] turns [[Weather#Snow|cold enough]], melting again when it becomes warmer. | Ice naturally occurs in [[Climate#Arctic|colder]] [[climate]]s in place of [[water]].

A [[blockhead]] is able to run (or ride a [[donkey]]) across ice making it possible to cross [[ocean]]s quickly without a [[boat]]. If a blockhead [[sleep]]s on ice and it melts, the blockhead will immediately wake up. | A [[blockhead]] is able to run (or ride a [[donkey]]) across ice making it possible to cross [[ocean]]s quickly without a [[boat]].

Ice will despawn [[kelp]] growing where it forms. [[Fish (creature)|Fish]] and [[shark]]s tend to avoid forming ice, but may become trapped anyway and will eventually despawn if not freed. If a blockhead is completely frozen in ice, it will be still, but will slide up to the surface if it tries to move. Blockheads can still perform normal mining and crafting tasks in ice. | Ice will despawn [[kelp]] growing where it forms.

Prior to [[Game updates/20131010|version 1.4]], these blocks would melt into a full block of water. In version 1.4, it was changed so they instead melt into the partial amount of water it froze from. If mined and then placed however, it would again melt into a full block. If there isn't enough to freeze, the water will disappear instead. | ||
