Frost Walker is an enchantment applied to boots that turns water into frosted ice beneath the user's feet, and provides immunity to campfire and magma block damage.

Obtaining

Frost Walker is a treasure enchantment; it can be obtained from jungle temple and stronghold chest loot, fishing, raid drops‌, or trading with a librarian of any level.

Usage

If moving on ground (not falling, jumping, or flying), any still water blocks with air above[1] within a circle radius‌ or square radius ‌ of 2 + level around the block being moved to transforms into frosted ice. This works only if the player is on the ground.‌ The water blocks must also be on the same level as the block being moved to in order to become ice. Finally, the motion must be "natural." That is, being pushed by a piston head does not count as "moving on the ground," but being bounced by a slime block that was pushed horizontally by a piston does. Being moved by flowing water also counts.

Continuous motion is required for ice to remain when light levels would otherwise cause it to melt. When a player stops walking on the ice created by the enchantment, the ice gradually melts from around and under the player (at which point the player falls into the water). In addition, the ice created from Frost Walker lasts longer during the night because there is no sunlight to melt it.

Frost Walker also eliminates all damage from magma blocks and campfires, but not lava. The boots do not take durability damage while on these blocks.

If an armor stand equipped with Frost Walker boots is moved, it converts nearby water sources to frosted ice in a similar way as a player wearing Frost Walker boots does.[2]

Additionally, enchanted boots with Frost Walker can be applied on foxes when held.‌

Incompatibilities

The Frost Walker and Depth Strider enchantments are mutually exclusive, meaning only one can be added to any given item in Survival. When added through use of commands, both enchantments function as normal.
