Packed Ice

Packed ice[a] is a variant of 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 Silk Touch tool.

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

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.
