Then there's the ice ball that CREATES fire (its no magnifying glass, so I'm not sure how it works).
A magnifying glass is just a convex lens, it's easy to shape ice and thus make fire with it. Way easier than rubbing sticks together assuming you know the shape and the sun is out.
Also ice skates should be leather boots with iron under them.

Thank you, also ice skates are going to be leather boots with iron under them =P
This was a post created by PhoenixBrave. It was basically about food storage, and it's effects, and why it should be added. Your idea for a cooler seems to be directly connected to my comment for a "ice box"
Sorry if it seems I copied you but I guess we think the same I havn't seen your post though=P
The more that gets added the less I like the idea lol =[
I support: ice pick, basic tools, weapons, armor, cooler to regenerate uses, skates and ice ball to create fire (maybe you'd have to hold the right mouse button for a while on a block instead of immediate igniting, should only work in day light.)
I don't support: Ice stick tools, freezing food (unless food decay is added), ice axe, ice cubes, ice disc.
It helps to know why you dislike the items. =P. The ice sticks were added because they just looked cooler. Just trying to get as many as possible the more items I have the larger chance that at least one of them is found appealing by someone. If ice sticks are hated I'll gladly remove them. The ice disc was added because I thought there was a lack of discs. Freezing food makes it slightly better for a few foods and I don't really want it UNLESS there's food decay. The ice axe well it would make building with these cold blocks a lot easier if you could use one of these. Ice cubes uhh well they were just an idea but couldn't think of a use besides healing maybe if there is drinks it can make them heal slightly more.
Make ice tools they start losing uses over time and when they lose all their uses they turn into sticks.
They can be made in the 2x2 crafting square to make it make-able as soon as you need it.
That's what they do although I havn't thought of a strength probably worse than wood slightly because of how easy it is to get and make. Durability Worse than wood can get anything wood can get.
I love the idea of being able to harvest ice, but I unfortunately don't like the rest of the ideas.
Ice tools seems kind of unnecessary.
I do like the ice skates though. Although there isnt enough ice for it to be incredibly useful, it would be a fun little tidbit to add to the game.
You could make more ice with ice arrows you could make ice with the cooler. The tools were just the first idea to come to mind. If you were to get a new material your first thought would be really tools and armor. So that was my first idea and I just added onto that.
They seem a lot less thought out and pointless compared to the ones I liked. You said you're just trying to add as many as possible so that at least one has a chance of being liked, and it really shows. Quality > Quantity.
Ice stick tools would be fine, but it's redundant to have both wooden stick and ice stick versions. One or the other (I agree the ice stick versions look cooler :tongue.gif:.)
Frozen food being stackable would be over powered. Instead of carrying 2 or 3 cooked pork I could carry 128-192 frozen pork? lol. Maybe if you eat them too fast you get brain freeze and take some damage or the camera gets hard to control... but that just over complicates things.
Ice axe meh... Climbing to build is unnecessary, dirt scaffolding or ladders is good enough.
Ice cubes just as an ingredient for drinks or some other food maybe, but .25 of a heart is just pointless.
Ice disc is just silly. There will be more discs later. Ocean sounds might be cool but it just seems like you're grasping for anything to shove into ice.
Frozen food was only added because of the possibility of food decay I wouldn't want it in if there wasn't food decay and by stackable I meant like 2-3 or so not 64 pork stacked and if it was stacked I wouldn't make it edible so you'd have to unstack it then to actually use it.
Ice disc was kinda a last second addition so it wasn't well thought out. I might make it ice sticks only because they look pwnage. Ice axe isn't really necessary but it's hard to make ideas with ICE. I might add lemons and lemonade so you can use the ice cubes to boost it by 1 health also when I said .25 is because if they're stack-able to 4 they'd be super over-powered if they healed one. It's real hard to make ideas for ice that's why there's the ice disc. There's not really many things you can do with ice if you could give me a few ideas that would help.
Use the nether for quick travel to it or search for one. Or you can make some ice of your own if you have a bucket of water. EDIT oh wait that would require some ice... uhh damn maybe you can make synthetic ice as a replacement some how?

The frozen food is kind of odd... how could they give you more health when it could break your teeth and give you brain freeze?
I kinda the initiative though and using ice would be awesome! :biggrin.gif:
MAYBE COLD FOOD CAN BE STACKABLE?

Just remove the dot after url and img to use it.
Also, another recipe

[] [] = 1 ice pole

=ice
I made a topic about Poles.
That's what they do although I havn't thought of a strength probably worse than wood slightly because of how easy it is to get and make. Durability Worse than wood can get anything wood can get.
EDIT* What do the poles do?
