Packed Ice

Packed Ice is a solid block found in the rare Ice Plains Spikes biome. Packed Ice blocks look similar to regular ice blocks, but are not transparent. They can be obtained using any tool with the silk touch enchantment. When broken without using a silk touch tool, unlike Ice, no water source block is created. Also unlike Ice, Packed Ice will not melt due to light sources and will allow to place items like torches. Packed Ice retained the sliding effect when walked on as Ice, though. It is currently only used as decoration to form spikes of Ice, as its generated biome name suggests. It can be useful for those who use normal ice but are wary of light sources melting it, although Packed Ice must be harvested.
