This is the official Curse page for Fragile Glass and Thin Ice, by FredTargaryen.
This mod adds (separate) fragile versions of glass blocks and panes, which are made of sugar and smash gratuitously if something hits them fast enough. It's great for adventure maps, videos, pranks, and as a quick, realistic glass substitute. From version 1.8.5 onwards, mod makers can use the Capability system to make their own entities able to break fragile blocks, or make their own blocks fragile.
Versions 1.7.10-1.4 and 1.8-1.2 introduce Thin Ice, which can catch you off guard on frozen water.
Version 1.8.5 introduces Weak Stone, which generates above drops and crumbles if you step on it.
Generation of both blocks is fully configurable in ftfragileglass.cfg. By default, Thin Ice is enabled but Weak Stone is disabled (as it is more dangerous).
NB. Fragile Glass blocks are separate from vanilla Glass blocks and never replace them in the world.
However, when each world is created, if enabled, patches of Thin Ice/Weak Stone replace vanilla Ice and Stone in the same place.

It would be nice if there was a mix between BREAK and CHANGE in the config. I really like the break effect + sound for the ice, but I'd really like it to be turned into water so the ice can reform, and the lakes, rivers, and oceans don't get all patchy.
In reply to Zeklo:
That's a good idea. After my exam today I will have a think about how multiple behaviours for one block could be done. I think you might get a noticeable gap between the ice breaking and the water appearing.
If that doesn't look good I could try hard-coding something but the point of this latest update was to avoid hard-coding things. We'll see.
Update: this works surprisingly well! Look out for this soon.
Another update: You can try this out in the 2.0.0-beta.2 version. Just add the water change line below the ice break line (if you add it before, the ice will change to water, then the water will break...)
If I may make a suggestion, it might be fun to have a Fall behavior that turns the block that's collided with into a Falling Block entity, if it isn't supported? Like the way Weak Stone behaves, but for blocks that aren't normally affected by gravity - from reading the config, it didn't look like there was any way to do this for blocks that don't already fall when unsupported, unless I missed something. An example of an application for this might be doing something like making unsupported Netherrack fall when a player moves too fast near it. So sprinting over a thin Netherrack floor or along a ledge could cause collapse, but you won't accidentally shatter a hole to Bedrock by jumping down an incline.
I'll admit I didn't test the existing behaviors to see if they do something like this, but when I looked at the file it looked like the closest thing to what I was hoping for was the Update behavior. I've been under the impression that would only actually cause Netherrack to fall if I used another mod to make Netherrack a block that falls when unsupported, though - which, I'm sure you can imagine, would end disastrously when the whole dimension starts collapsing itself. Since a fall behavior would only affect the handful of blocks involved in a collision that wouldn't be an issue. If it wouldn't be too much work, it'd be super neat to see something like this added when you have the time.

so that Netherrack turns to Soul Sand, and therefore falls (but it won't change back). If you have a mod block that looks exactly like Netherrack but can fall, you can change the vanilla Netherrack to that, and have a perfect visual effect.
You're right about the UPDATE behaviour; it simply schedules a block update for the block in question and whatever happens then is up to the block code. Weak Stone uses UPDATE because it was already written to change to gravel when a crash happens, and I wanted a delay before that happened (CHANGEs have to happen instantly). Honestly there aren't that many fun uses I can think of for UPDATE; I see BREAK and CHANGE being used much more often.
All that begs the question: is it possible to have a specific FALL behaviour which makes a block able to fall down, even if it couldn't fall down before? I have some time this weekend; I might look into that.

In reply to FredTargaryen:
There are a few mods that do something like that, most notably Botania. It has a mana lens that allows for blocks to become falling blocks of the same type, or rather, just be affected by gravity.
Have an issue, but can't find a link to the GitHub, if it has been set up already.
Looking up recipes through JEI for the alloy smelter and silicon (all I've tried at the moment) from "Gadgetry Core" mod cause Minecraft to crash. For some reason, there seems to be a relation to this mod for whatever reason.

Is it possible to add occasional stone landslides (like sand) around the player when he is going to mine?

This replaces vanilla generated ice?
and vanilla crafted glasS?
