Here's a fun idea for allowing players to place ice:
To create ice you simply take a bucket of water out in a taiga or tundra biome during a snowstorm. Left click up at the sky and presto, your bucket of water has become a bucket of ice.
Right clicking with the bucket of ice places an ice block rather than a water block. The ice can't be retrieved once placed, like glass, so put it down with caution.
This would provide a straightforward way of collecting ice, but it would still be a challenge to collect it in quantity since you'd have to wait for a snowstorm and you'd need a seperate bucket to store each individual ice block.
Fun and logical, but it still makes people work to build their ice fortress.
A lot of things are physically impossible in Minecraft. I think being able to produce a cube shaped block of ice from a bucket makes perfect sense in context.
Finding a snowstorm seems a little annoying. Have you considered crafting a bucket of ice? How does surrounding a bucket of water with snowballs on the crafting table sound? Finally snowballs would matter.
Acealeam, I didn't see your suggestion. Although the ice bucket thing is similar, I'd prefer just being able to click the sky rather than need a new device.

Click for penguins in minecraft!
In a game where only two blocks are affected by gravity, ice not freezing to the inside of a bucket is the least of realism-lovers problems.

Retired StaffI think it kind of makes sense to still need the bucket. After all, it is still water. And it's kind of OP being able to transport water without it.
