    My idea is that we should have the ability to throw the new Ice Balls to break glass panes/blocks! To break the pane/block, you need to throw the ice ball and hit them a total of 2 times. After the first throw and hit, the regular glass pane/block becomes a “shattered glass pane/block” and has a broken or shattered-like texture. After the second throw and hit, the pane/block is completely destroyed and disappears. Once a pane/block is hit once, it cannot be repaired. To have a fresh look, the player must replace the pane/block entirely. However, it can be picked up with a silk touch pickaxe. (OR, because a glass pane is thinner than a normal block, it can be broken with a single throw of an ice ball instead of 2 throws. However, that would mean there would be no shattered variant of the glass pane.)

    The “shattered glass pane/block” can also be a new type of block which can allow builders to have more creativity by having extra detailed materials.

    Additionally, frozen zombies have a small chance of spawning with ice balls in their hand. While the zombie’s ice ball fire rate is slow, it gives them the ability to throw (potentially up until a certain range), walk, and hit simultaneously. Any frozen zombie with ice balls that can see you through glass, can throw the ice balls to break the glass just to throw more at you. So don’t lead them to your home!
