Ice is a translucent solid block found only in snow biomes. Because of ice's slippery nature, a player will move more quickly on ice than on any other block at the cost of their mobility.

Characteristics

Due to its transparency, torches cannot be directly placed on this block. Ice will also melt and leave a water source block if the light level on any side (from light sources other than sunlight) is greater than 11. Conversely, a water block in a snow biome will eventually freeze into ice if exposed to the sky from directly above, and the light level immediately adjacent to the water block on all sides is sufficiently low (less than 13). This can happen at any time of day, and in any weather condition. If the highest adjacent light level is 12, an ice block will alternately melt and re-freeze when it receives a block tick, Ice can also be used to make water flow faster by placing Ice below a moving water source.

Usage of Ice in Nuclear Reactors

Ice is extremely useful in cooling nuclear reactors, because of the fact that its EMC value is only one. It can be substantially used in a 6-chambered reactor filled with Uranium Cells if there is at least 5 different stacks of ice blocks in the reactor. Every Ice block removes 300 units of heat from the reactor.

NOTE: As of Minecraft 1.3.2 IndustrialCra​ft² has had a second re-write of the Nuclear Reactor with additional components and removed environmental effects such as water and ice cooling, which makes ice cooling (often known as SUC cooling) useless.
