Minecraft Item: ICE

>>COLLECTING ICE<<
ICE is one of the hardest items to get, even though it is everywhere in the snow biome. You have to work really hard to get the material for the enchanting table, waste as many pickaxes as possible untill you get the silk touch.

My idea for easier collection of ice is this: ICE BUCKET.
To make an ice bucket, you get a water bucket, craft it together with a snowball, and you get an ice bucket. Right-clicking it will spawn 1 ice on the surface, and acts like every other ice, being able to be broken and collected by silk touch tools. After using it, you get back a bucket... like others.

Comment below for some possible EASIER ways to collect ice, rather than using silk touch NOR just making it from water in the snow biome, and dear plugin makers, making a mod focusing on it would be much more better with Minecraft, which I believe Survival players would be looking forward too [Send me the link if it exists!]

>>USEFUL ICE<<
ICE is very useful for it's slippery thingy, so people would just glide on it. It can also be useful for traps, decoration, etc.
