Frosted Ice - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Frosted Ice in Minecraft?

Frosted ice is a special, temporary type of ice block that is created by the Frost Walker enchantment. It looks like a regular ice block but with a frosty, cracked texture on top. Its main purpose is to allow players to walk on water. When a player with Frost Walker boots walks near a water source block, the water will instantly freeze into a patch of frosted ice, creating a temporary bridge. This allows you to cross oceans and lakes without a boat. Frosted ice is not a permanent block; it will slowly melt and turn back into water after a short time, unless it is nighttime or in a cold biome.

How to get Frosted Ice in Minecraft

You cannot craft or obtain frosted ice as an item in your inventory in survival mode. It is a block that is created in the world by a special enchantment. The only way to create frosted ice is to get a pair of boots with the Frost Walker enchantment. Frost Walker is a treasure enchantment, which means you cannot get it from an enchanting table. You can only find it in the form of an enchanted book in loot chests from structures like dungeons, mineshafts, and temples. You can also get it by trading with a librarian villager or by fishing. Once you have the enchanted book, you can use an anvil to apply it to a pair of boots. Then, just walk over water and the frosted ice will appear under your feet.

How to use Frosted Ice in Minecraft

The only way to use frosted ice is to walk on it. As you run across a body of water with your Frost Walker boots, you will leave a trail of frosted ice behind you. This is a very fast and convenient way to travel across oceans. The ice is temporary and will melt in stages after a few seconds if there is a light source nearby. The melting process is slower at night. Any mobs that are in the water when it freezes will take damage. This can be a useful way to deal with mobs in the water. Be careful, as the ice you create can also trap boats, making them unable to move. Frosted ice will never drop as an item, even if you use a Silk Touch pickaxe. It will always just turn back into water when it melts or is broken.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
