Brittle Ice Proposal

For a long time, the community has been asking for more dynamics and natural hazards in icy biomes, and adding brittle ice would be a perfect addition to make exploring these places more lively and unpredictable. This new block could subtly generate mixed with regular ice in frozen lakes, peaks, and ice caves, working similarly to powder snow or suspicious gravel, where the player only notices the danger when it's already too late. Walking and staying on it for a few seconds, or jumping directly onto its surface, would cause the ice to crack and break; furthermore, heavy creatures would destroy it almost instantly, while light mobs like rabbits and cats could walk over it safely, creating a super fun and natural survival mechanic.
