I was working on some stuff for my next puzzle map and i have a room full of ice. But it's really dark in there. Does anyone have any ideas of a way i can light it up without melting the ice. I tried torches and glowstone but they melt ice.
P.s. Sorry if this is in the wrong section didn't really know where to put it.

Glowstone doesnt melt ice for me. but try Jack o' Lanterns. thats about it or if not put glowstone with glass around it under the ice
Portal blocks provide good light and the last I checked which was a while ago, they didn't melt snow in my map. If you can get a mod like invedit or single player commands you can spawn them.
mushrooms might light it up but they give off a very small amount of light, probably the same amount as a portal tho. if anything i would use active redstone behind a wall like this.
= cobble or any other wall material
= redstone
= space
If you had SPC, you can perform the lighting bug with glowstone. I don't think it melts ice as the actual block doesn't exist, but the light source does.
To perform this, (may take a couple tries) simply place one glowstone block, then use your wand to select the block, and type 'set air'. That action should remove the glowstone block, but keep the light source without melting the ice you mentioned. It might take several tries, but its worth it
Who the hell said redstone torches don't melt ice?
I have a room filled with ice and lit by torches, not one of them has melted.

Message me yours if you want to trade in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just need some friends to play with. I can also do Pokemon trades in Pokemon X(or Y), but I don't have any good stuff, and the only good stuff I have is not for trade so...send me requests anyway.

Is the room big? I am building Elsa's ice castle from Frozen out of ice. I used diamond blocks to create a tall pillar and placed a glowstone block on it. The ice doesn't melt, but the room is lit fairly well. OR just use pakced ice. It doesn't melt whatsoever
Light melts when it comes in contact with level 12 or above light. So you could place torches recessed about 3 blocks, ditto with glowstone, or lamps. Then the light level of the room will be 8. (11(maximum light level for ice) - 3 (the light level taken by ice) = 8)

Wheeee. Look at this, i figured out how to type stuff. Hey-- While you're looking at this, mind checking out my youtube channel? It will have more videos once i feel like recording and editing
I notice the date is about 2 years ago. By now if you still play the game, you probably know that Packed Ice is in the game, and it doesn't melt by any means, though it isn't see-through, and if you have to use regular ice, Redstone Torches are you best bet for lighting. If you need more light, I'd make the ceiling high enough to where you can place glowstone or torches on it and the light level on the floor is less that 11. It's birghter than a redstone torch, and it should be far enough away to where it won't melt regular ice

I would either used recessed torches or redstone torches to provide light.

They have a code for that now, apparently...

just look under the new commands section...
Redstone torches do not melt ice. (at least for me)
blue ice glows as well and its solid like packed ice
