Ice should float on water. Because in real life when water cool it expands making it less dense than water, that's why it floats, players could make icebergs, and even someone might add a mod of floating icebergs to the game in the future.

Time to complain to Triode

#

but this means water is not working correctly, because anything under 995 to 1000 kg/m^3 (depending on assumed temperature) should be floating

#

which blue ice (920 kg/m^3) and packed ice (875 kg/m^3) are both below

#

So the reason it doesn’t is because mc water is weird

#

In mc the water doesn’t have a full hit box

#

It’s more like 7/8th of a hit box

#

Which is why ice sinks because there’s not enough water

#

no

#

I just have to create another state for a full block of water

#

and use that when the water is under more water

#

but doing that is kind of tricky

tough osprey
#

yeah, if you would get that working, that would be epic

#

That would make everything float a bit better too then wouldnt it?
