Ice hurts Nether creatures

Magma. It's a block that's found in the deep oceans and in the Nether. When you step on it, you get hurt. When Nether creatures step on it, they don't.

Ice. It's a block that's found in the Overworld. When you step on it, you don't get hurt. When Nether creatures step on it, they don't either.

Put two and two together? Yes, I am proposing that all creatures from the Nether(blaze, wither skeleton, magma cube, zombie pigman...ghast maybe?), and new ones from the new update(piglin beast), should take a small amount of damage when they step on top of any of the three types of ice(ice, packed ice, blue ice).

This fits perfectly with the new update, because

  • It's in the Nether.
  • It matches the blue, red and yellow color scheme of the Nether.
  • Soul sand increases friction and ice decreases friction.
  • Magma from the Nether hurts creatures not from the Nether, so why shouldn't ice from the Overworld hurt creatures not from the Overworld?

Yeah, this is a small change, but still please consider adding this to the new 1.16 Nether update!

    Beautiful idea, but might cause bugs in older community maps. Anyway, I'm voted for this.

    A. If a new update won't work with older maps just swap to an older version of Minecraft, like all us map downloaders do. B. Cool idea, but only mobs that are "use to" or actively use fire should be affected (blazes, magma cubes, etc.)

    Maybe only the striders would be harmed by this? They shiver when not submerged in lava so if they are standing on a freezing block I'd imagine they'd die.
