A [[Blockhead]] is able to run (or ride a [[Donkey|donkey]]) across ice making it possible to cross [[Ocean|oceans]] quickly without a [[Boat|boat]].  If a Blockhead [[Sleep|sleeps]] on ice and it melts the Blockhead will immediately wake up.

Ice will despawn [[Kelp|kelp]] growing where it forms. [[Fish (creature)|Fish]] and [[Shark|sharks]] 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.

A fractionally filled block of water will freeze into a full block of ice, which can then melt into a full block of water. If there isn't enough to freeze, the water will disappear instead.

It is recommended to [[Mining|mine]] ice with a [[Pickaxe|pickaxe]] for best results. The multiplier of gem pickaxes has no effect.

While ice can be used for [[Construction|construction]], its tendency to melt in warm air makes it impractical except under arctic conditions. It has no known use in crafting.

Ice can be used to transport water without using a [[Bucket|bucket]].

Because cycling between water and ice will refill partial water blocks, ice is part of one method of generating unlimited water (and therefore ice).
