Ice

Ice is a block in the  collection. It can be obtained in a number of ways, such as bought from the builder, or from the Jerry Island.

Mining
Ice can be mined with a Pickaxe enchanted with. Mining Ice grants +0.5  experience.

Ice cannot be mined on any of the public islands except the Jerry Pond in the Jerry Island. There are currently three methods for obtaining ice for the collection.


 * Counts towards collection:
 * 1) Mining the ice on the Jerry Pond using a  Pickaxe.
 * 2) Alternatively, the player can use a Taiga Biome Stick to turn the biome into a Taiga and wait for the water to spontaneously turn into ice. It should be noted that this method is very slow. If the player has already collected enough ice to create an Ice minion, mining the ice that the minion generates is by far the most efficient way of obtaining ice.
 * 3) Killing Frozen Steve, Frosty, or a Yeti will make them drop ice. Picking up the ice will count towards your collection.
 * 4) You can also obtain ice by using the Ice Rod with its 25% chance of catching ice while fishing.


 * Does not count towards collection:
 * 1) Acquire a pair of Boots enchanted with  or, then walk over a water source or flowing water block to turn the water into ice and mine the ice with a  Pickaxe.

Trivia

 * Frost Walker boots used to count towards unlocking the ice collection, but this was removed after an unknown update.
 * The ice required to make all special crafts amounts to 21,470,801. This number is nearly twice that of the ice collection world record. That's the total for all Ice Minion tiers, Magical Water Bucket, the Frozen Scythe, Frozen Blaze armor, Auger Rod, and Yeti Sword. It is inadvisable to manually collect the ice required to craft these items.
 * You can get 40 enchanted ice worth from the Builder each day.
 * While Frost Walked ice does not count towards the collection and does not grant Mining experience, it does count towards and can activate the Compact enchantment to produce Enchanted Ice. This is not a particularly fast or efficient way of producing material, but it is an option for a little bit of extra ice.
