Template:Infobox block Packed ice<ref group="fn">Compressed Ice in British English.</ref> is a variant of Minecraft:ice that functions almost identically, but does not melt and is opaque instead of transparent. Like other types of ice, it can only be obtained using a Minecraft:Silk Touch tool.

Obtaining

Breaking

Packed ice can be obtained using any Minecraft:tool enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, though a Minecraft:pickaxe is the fastest. Without Silk Touch, breaking it drops nothing. Unlike normal Minecraft:ice, packed ice never turns into Minecraft:water when broken.

Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Packed ice is found in the rare ice spikes biome. It also forms icebergs found in frozen oceans. Packed ice also generates in frozen peaks and in ice patches.

Packed ice generates as windows in igloos.Template:Only

Packed ice generates as piles (and in some houses or meeting points) in villages in snowy plains biome.

Packed ice also generates in ancient cities and in trial chambers surrounding stray spawners.

Crafting

Trading

Wandering traders can occasionally sell a block of packed ice for a single Minecraft:emerald. Template:Trade sources

Mob loot

in Template:Editions, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 packed ice when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.

Usage

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Speed

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

in Template:Editions, when a non-full block of half-block or less in height is placed on top of packed ice, the block inherits the same 'slipperiness' as the ice below it for most entities, not including Minecraft:boats due to a bug.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Additionally, any non-full block inherits the 'slipperiness' for items.

Boats can travel on packed ice with a top speed of 40 m/s. Ice tracks built from blue ice, packed ice, or a combination are useful for long-range travel in all three dimensions.

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.

Packed ice is a completely solid block, and allows placement of any objects on top.

Unlike normal Minecraft:ice, packed ice does not melt if placed near light sources.

Packed ice is not a storage block, as it cannot be crafted back into Minecraft:ice.

Note block

Packed ice can be placed under note blocks to produce chime sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb packed ice, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the hockey puck/fast sliding effect to the mob when hitting it.
