The uses for the Frost Walker enchantment in Minecraft

The Frost Walker enchantment can be placed on any pair of boots that a player has obtained throughout their adventures in Minecraft. This includes boots made out of leather, chainmail, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite.

Minecraft players who happen to not have a pair of boots yet, can craft certain pairs of their own using four pieces of the appropriate crafting material.

As an example, a pair of diamond boots can be made with four diamonds at a crafting table.

Players must have the boots with this enchantment equipped in order to receive it's magical effect. The frosted ice blocks that are created by this enchantment are not permanent, and will eventually melt when exposed to prolonged sunlight.

To avoid falling through melted blocks, players can continue to move and create new frosted ice blocks. The effect itself opens up a new unique way to travel.

As an added bonus, players who are wearing a pair of boots with the Frost Walker enchantment will become immune to the damage of campfires and magma blocks when tread upon.

Obtaining the Frost Walker enchantment

Players who want to obtain this specific enchantment will need to do a little bit of extra work, as opposed many other enchantments. The Frost Walker enchantment is a treasure enchantment, which means that it can only be acquired from chest loot, fishing, raid rewards, or buying it from a librarian villager with emeralds.

Note: The Frost Walker enchantment can not be used with the Depth Strider enchantment. The only way to have both enchantments active at the same time, would be through the use of console commands.
