Snapshot: Ice Caves

The second wave snapshot adds ice caves — frozen caverns under snowy peaks and frozen oceans.

Snapshot highlights

• Ice cave generation: layered packed ice and blue ice veins in the deepslate layer under frozen biomes.
• Frostburn: standing on packed-ice ore veins deals 1 damage every 8 seconds unless you wear leather boots.
• Ice spikes biome update: spikes are taller (up to 40 blocks) and generate ice-cave entrances.
• New loot: ice caves contain bundled frost potions and frost arrow schematics in trial chests.

ChunkScope updates

Ore Finder will add a Frost Vein overlay, and the Seed Map gets ice-cave region markers once the snapshot settles into a release.
