Description:
When mining normal ice blocks, the block breaking (cracking) overlay is either not clearly visible or becomes extremely difficult to see, especially when the player is standing on top of the ice. This reduces feedback during block interaction and makes it harder to track mining progress.
Steps to Reproduce:
Locate or place normal ice blocks.
Enter Survival mode.
Stand on or look directly at the ice surface.
Begin mining the ice block.
Expected Result:
A clear and visible cracking/breaking texture should appear and progressively intensify as the block is mined.
Actual Result:
The breaking texture is faint or visually obscured when the player is standing on the ice, making it difficult to see mining progress.
Additional Notes:
This issue is more noticeable in first-person view and may be influenced by camera angle, lighting, and the transparent nature of ice blocks, which reduces contrast for overlay textures.
