How to get ice in minecraft without silk touch

When I come across a cold Minecraft biome I always get excited about finding ice.

Ice is a solid semi-transparent block found in cold variants of rivers and oceans that is well known for it’s “slippery” surface.

When walking or running on ice you’ll find yourself struggling to halt or even make sharp turns.

However, if you aren’t in danger, this isn’t as much of a problem as it is just a ball of fun!

Knowing how to mine and make Ice can be of great help not only for builds, but also for fun new attractions in your Survival world.

Using Ice

As I have mentioned, ice is pretty slippery in Minecraft, but did you know that you can place and ride a boat on ice as well?

The fun part of this is that the boat will move incredibly fast along the surface.

This makes ice a perfect material for something like an ice skating rink or a boat race track. If you can mine enough of it to make packed ice you can make high speed roads to far away places.

Just keep in mind that it will make you move at incredible speeds, so know when to get out of a boat in time
