Inside. I would imagine it's quite cold in here.
Night shot!
Inside: The sequel
If anyone is wondering why the inside has only one torch and is so dark, it's because torches melt ice. I don't want them near the edges, where they'll melt the walls above them.
If anyone want's to build something similar, here's a few tips I learned:
Only springs, not flowing water, will freeze
Any water sourced from the a spring is evaporated as if it were picked up by a bucket when it does freeze
Water won't freeze if there's a block over it
But it wont melt if you put a block over it after it freezes
You only need two buckets to cast any size wall: Simply place one, skip a block, and place the next. A spring
will form in between them. Pick that up, and repeat but with the next spring block. Kind of like leapfrogging.
To cast a large square, line the edges with springs. The rest will fill with spring blocks by itself.
You could put torches a bit closer to the edges than that. There can be three empty blocks straight between a torch and the ice block, and the ice block won't melt. The overall ice-melting area around a torch is also diamond-shaped and not circular.
Red torches don't melt ice. I'm using red torches to light up my igloo right now..it's too small to have real torches inside,it would melt the whole structure.

But red torches dont give out light, and if they do it's a truely insignificant amount.

Yeah,true. It's better than no light at all,though.
Hey,I just thought of something.. If I dig the floor of my igloo pretty low under the ice...maybe I could fill it with lava or put torches on it without melting anything! I have to try that now :biggrin.gif:

Brilliant!
Thanks, I'll use that if I ever make something else out of ice. An ice castle would be pretty awesome...
EDIT: I guess I should add that this is completely legit, no NBT Edit involved (except to fix a glitch).

I was lazyThe top matches the water/ice pool's size, so it kinda looks artsy when you're inside.Wahahahha
I just got uuuh... BSoD on Touhou. Wat.
Actually... it would work a lot like an Igloo does. So with that torch in there, it would be noticeably warmer than the outside.
too bad that I can't implement this into my current main save...

But you can! Use NBTedit and change "snowcovered" to 1, and I also think theres a tool out there somewhere that can do it.
