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.

A fractionally filled block of water will freeze into a full block of ice. Prior to [[Game updates/20131010|version 1.4]], these blocks would melt into a full block of water.

If there isn't enough to freeze, the water will disappear instead.
