Ice Cubes

Description

Ice Cubes adds a new mob - the Ice Cube.

Spawning

Ice cubes spawn above ground at night in the frozen peaks and the ice spikes biomes. In other cold biomes, they only spawn in "ice cube chunks", similar to slime chunks.

Behavior & Combat

Ice cubes behave similar to slimes. Their melee attacks apply a stack of the Chilled effect. Targets that are chilled behave as if they were in powder snow. Reaching 3 stacks of Chilled consumes the effect, causing targets to take extra freeze damage.

In hot biomes, ice cubes will melt and shrink until they die.

Ice cubes and magma cubes do not get along.

Drops

Ice cubes drop 0-2 ice blocks and, if killed by a player, 0-1 frost essence

• Can be used to apply new enchantments in a smithing table (see below)

• Can be sold to cleric villagers or bought from wandering traders
