im guessing the ice ambient noise is for the crevasses in the ice caves
anything useful in this update?
Fun fact: ice is a type of rock. It might not look like it since humans don't typically like below 0 C environment.
Maybe I’m missing it, I’m not online enough…but this is all screaming Iceologer/Chillager revival to me.
Nono, you're right, ice is a stone and water is a lava
Ice may not be a stone, but it is a mineral!
Ice is a kind of rock by basically every metric lol
How cool would it be if this set was slippery like the ice blocks, I'm sure ice slippery slabs and stairs would be a great for parkour and redstone maybe and other games!
Geological yes. Ice is a mineral like calcite. Ice is a stone.
Also Minecraft really should bring in a hot and cold mechanic.
the ice ambiance appears in real life on frozen lakes, its not really cave related given the conditions for it to happen are entirely related to frozen rivers and icebergs
Question of the day. Why do people pick on copper more than lapis
2:42 I wonder if this supports mat pats nether was an cold place theory?
I wonder if we'll get a carved variant of the ice blockset, and I wonder if it'll have a iceologer shape to it
This update were basically made for Doc.
I made your buffalo pesto pizza for the 2nd time today. Definitely something I'll come back to again
They need a smooth ice brick version too!
0:50 – yes, considering the coloquial sense of the word, ice is scientifically a type of stone.
TIME TO BUILD IGLOOS
OMG THEYRE LISTENING!!! THEYRE LISTENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is hoping we get at-least packed ice slabs, but stairs would be nice as well for those times where you don't want a brick pattern
It would be cool if we also got blue ice block varieties as well for texturing reasons but the fact that we got ice varieties at all is cool
They need to make those ice blocks slippery since they're still ice.
Ice Bricks are awesome!
They keep adding block but no inventory fixes
a rock is a solid geologically naturally occuring mass of one or more minerals.
a mineral is a solid with a well defined and identifiable crystaline structure. a crystal is any solid that forms orderly geometric shapes when solidifying. a snowflake is a crystal
by extention solidified water is a mineral.
ice is a mineral.
ice is a naturally occuring mineral
therefore
ice is a rock.
no, water is not lava.
lava is magma that was expunged from the earths crust.
magma is liquid planetary crust.
as far as we know the crust on this planet has no liquid h2o in it., even if it did, the environment is too hot, the atmospheric pressure too low to keep it as a liquid. to be classified as lava, the liquid rock needs to leave the crust as a liquid.
on earth if at all it would release as steam. steam is a gas. lava is always a liquid.
on this planet, water can never be lava
its chemical properties dont allow for this.
Ice is a mineral. So yes, it is a stone.
Directx is mostly used by older versions of Windows and linux.

It'll be interesting to see how Doc adds the new ice stuff to his builds!
An ice trial chamber would be neat seeing as the ice brick texture looks similar to tuff bricks
Ice is a stone or a rock specifically
They should make brittle ice be crafted into normal ice 🤔
It might be expensive but a nice dark blue version of all this for Blue Ice would be lovely.
Using chainsaws to sculpture ice is a thing, so the stone cutter does make sense, in a way.
Actually, by scientific definitions ice IS a stone. (Which makes water technically a form of lava)
I wonder if they could add transparency to the ice block and its variants, that would make it stand out.
Snow bricks next pls
0:50 Ice IS a rock. It makes up the crust of many a moon in the Solar system, including Titan.
Ice is actually a stone. It’s called a mono-mineralic rock, because it’s made of one mineral
We’re finally getting some more blue blocks 😊
It would be nice if there's a commands to stop mobs from accidently breaking farmlands, paintings, item frames, glow item frames and armor stand! 😒
