About Either way, it would serve as a very impractical toy. However, ice freezes slowly enough that an absurdly long clock cycle or a BUD (Block Update Detector), such as an observer, would be needed. Ice could theoretically be generated in the same way as cobblestone using two water source blocks, even to the extent that it could be piston-driven and used to build self-repairing structures. A farm used for spleef should probably cover its water sources with an unbroken protective lip rather than alternating blocks, as they might snag players otherwise. In this case, the arena will not reset properly until all the ice is mined, or perhaps melted with a grid of redstone lamps. Using Silk Touch creates a more conventional game, and also harvests the ice. Not using Silk Touch tools creates a variant where the broken blocks might reform during play. Boots enchanted with Depth Strider are useful for moving through the water faster.Ĭrafting Packed Ice and Blue Ice Blocks Īn ice farm can be used to craft packed ice and blue ice blocks, by using the following crafting recipes:Ī large ice farm can double as a self-resetting spleef arena.

The covered water source blocks will then spread to refill the farm, and you simply wade around to collect the harvested ice. To harvest, stand in the ice pan, and mine ice blocks with a Silk Touch tool, taking care to not mine the dirt. A usefull tip would be to place occasional blocks in the center of your farm, if you are making it in a large scale, to replenish the ice faster from the center as well as the sides it generates from. Otherwise, your water will never freeze once youve removed all the ice.

It is important to make sure that the edges of your farm have a non waterlogged blocks or are able to generate ice. Ice Is only able to form if the water being frozen is adjacent to a block.

Make sure not to allow trees or other obstacles to overhang the farm, and keep light sources at a distance, otherwise, some or all of the farm's area will not freeze.
