Overview
Minecraft classifies Frosted Ice as a naturally generated block. This is a Creative-mode block; Survival players will never hold one. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.5.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 0.5 it will not survive an explosion.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
