The Short Answer: Get Yourself a Silktouch Pickaxe
To mine ice in Minecraft, you need a tool that’s a bit special: a pickaxe enchanted with Silktouch. This isn’t your regular mining gear! A Silktouch pickaxe lets you pick up those icy blocks just as they are, without breaking them into water.
Why Silktouch, you ask? Well, if you try to mine ice with a regular pickaxe, you’ll just get a puddle. Those icy blocks will turn into water the moment they feel the touch of an unenchanted pickaxe. But with Silktouch, you can gather ice blocks whole, perfect for all your frosty constructions!
