	Packed ice is slippery, causing most [[Minecraft:entities]] to slide, including [[Minecraft:item]]s. This also allows for increased speed of items in water currents by placing the packed ice under the water current. [[Minecraft:Mob]]s do not travel faster in water currents on packed ice.

Boats travel on almost double speed on blue ice, compared to packed ice.

	Mobs can spawn on packed ice. This can allow for compact mob farms that rely on the tendency of pushed mobs to slide off the ice in some way.		Mobs can spawn on packed ice. This can allow for compact mob farms that rely on the tendency of pushed mobs to slide off the ice in some way.
