Ice Caves fills cold biomes with frozen underground caverns. Expect layered walls of stone, calcite, and ice, uneven snowy floors, hanging icicles of many sizes, and ice crystals growing from the ground.
Icicles can melt when exposed to block light and may fall without warning, so look up before you dig. Packed ice can drop an Ice Ball when broken. Ice Crystals can be brewed into Freezing potions that chill your targets hard.
Deep inside these caves, the usual monsters stay away. Instead you will meet Frostbite, a frozen zombie that can also appear as a baby.
Everything from the mod is gathered in its own Ice Caves creative tab for easy finding.
Update 1.2
What is New!
Jukebox
Place a chest directly on top of a jukebox and fill it with music discs. The jukebox plays those discs one after another, in the order they sit in the chest. When a song ends, the disc goes back into the chest and the next one starts on its own. If you use the jukebox while it is playing, it skips to the next disc. While a chest is on top, a single music note floats beside the jukebox. It appears on a random side and at a random size, so the notes do not hide inside the chest.
Brittle Ice
Brittle ice looks like clear ice, but it cannot hold your weight. It cracks in four stages while you stand on it, and the same thing happens if a mob stands on it. If you step off, it stays as cracked as it was, and it continues from there when something stands on it again. Each crack comes a little sooner than before, about three quarters of a second apart, and every stage plays an ice cracking sound. The block uses the same sounds as normal ice. You can only pick it up with Silk Touch. If it breaks all the way through, it disappears and leaves nothing behind.
In ice caves, brittle ice sometimes forms a trap in the floor. These patches are uncommon, and their shape is uneven rather than a neat square. A patch is at least a small cluster of blocks, and it never spreads wider than 8 by 8. The ice you find is already partly cracked. Under it is an open drop, about 6 to 10 blocks deep, with icicles of different heights rising from a floor of packed ice. The edges blend into the cave with packed ice, normal ice, and calcite, and snow does not settle on the brittle ice itself. If the ice gives way, whatever was standing on it falls onto the icicles below.
