Looking over the current Icologer attacks they seem to create blocks of ice that are affected by gravity. That is to say they are spawned above the player, then fall. What if this carried to the Minecraft itself? A new ice block (possibly craft-able from 9 blue ice), that is Slippery Ice. It is affected by gravity and can fall. Icologers use it to attack and drop on a player as their attack. But the BIG feature is that it is frictionless.
This block would allow ANY block, item, or mob to slide on it till:
- It comes in contact with another block, mob, or item with a hit box. At which point it either could stop or bounce off each other.
- It comes to the end of the Slippery ice path onto a normal block.
- It goes into an unloaded chunk (same as currently happens with minecraft's and water streams.
Think of the puzzle games you could create if you could make ice paths that you have to activate pistons in certain order to get the block to the right spot. Transportation of items without water streams. Mob movement that keeps going.
It would be difficult to obtain, given the high ice conversion, or dangerous collecting from the Icologer areas. So wouldn't be somethign early players could get their hands on. For creative and world building players, the amount of custom maps and puzzles would open up a whole new area of Minecraft. The list of things having something that is frictionless would be quite astounding.
