Overview
Ice is a naturally generated block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear. No specific tool is required to collect it.
Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
Its only crafting use is Packed Ice.
