Frostbite is a blast pickaxe enchant that scatters blocks of explosive ice across your mine. Hit one of the ice blocks and it shatters everything around it.
Effect#
- Each time you mine a block, Frostbite rolls a chance of 0.02% per level, up to 20% at level 1,000.
- When it triggers, 9 random spots on the same layer as the block you mined, within 10 blocks of it, turn into packed ice.
- Start mining an ice block (left-click it) and it shatters: every block in a sphere of radius 5 around the ice breaks, which is about 11 blocks across. Any other ice caught in the sphere disappears too.
- Ice that nobody hits is removed again after about 30 seconds, without paying anything.
- Only blocks that belong to your mine are broken by the blast, and unbreakable blocks are skipped.
- Blocks broken this way pay out like blocks you mine yourself: tokens go to your balance and drops go to your backpack, and Fortune and Token Finder apply to them. Blocks broken by an enchant never roll for other enchants, so enchants do not chain.
- The ice blocks themselves pay nothing. Whoever left-clicks the ice receives the blast rewards, not necessarily the owner of the enchant.
- It does not trigger in prestige mines.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per block mined |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.02% (1 in 5,000) |
| 10 | 0.2% (1 in 500) |
| 50 | 1% (1 in 100) |
| 100 | 2% (1 in 50) |
| 250 | 5% (1 in 20) |
| 500 | 10% (1 in 10) |
| 750 | 15% (1 in 7) |
| 1,000 | 20% (1 in 5) |
The number of ice blocks, their spread and the blast size are the same at every level. The level only changes how often it triggers.
A chat message ("Your Frostbite enchant activated!") confirms each trigger unless you have switched enchant activation messages off in your options.
Cost and unlocking#
It is available from the start and shows as Common in the enchant menu. Level 1 costs 50,000 tokens, and each further level costs more, following the formula on Pickaxe Enchant Costs. Your purchase cap is level 270 at Prestige 0 and reaches the full 1,000 levels at Prestige 5 (Pickaxe Enchant Caps). The maximum level does not change with rebirth.
Notes#
- The menu description says breaking the ice has a chance to make it explode. Every ice block you left-click explodes.
- You have 30 seconds to use each patch of ice, so move to it soon after the enchant triggers.
