Ice Blocks

Ice Blocks are common terrain-blocks found in the Snow Biome alongside Snow Blocks. They can be mined with a pickaxe or a drill. Walking on ice blocks can cause the player to slide. This can make it dangerous to navigate in the Snow Biome, because unwanted slipping could cause your player to fall off a cliff or into water and drown. This effect can be canceled by equipping Ice Skates or other accessories with this effect. However, long patches of ice can be used with a grappling hook to cause the player to slide forward very quickly and traverse areas quickly.

Ice Blocks can be converted into three other variants by the spread of biomes:


 * Hallow spreads onto Ice to create Pink Ice Blocks


 * Corruption spreads onto Ice to create Purple Ice Blocks


 * Crimson spreads onto Ice to create Red Ice Blocks
