Compressed ice, or packed ice, is an opaque solid block variant of ice.

Obtaining
Compressed ice can be obtained using any tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Without Silk Touch, breaking it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Compressed ice is found in the rare Ice Spikes biome. It also forms icebergs found in frozen oceans.

Compressed ice generates as windows in igloos.

Compressed ice generates in snowy tundra villages.

Trading
Compressed ice is sold by the wandering trader for 3 emeralds.

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

When a non-full block is placed on top of packed ice, the block has the same 'slipperiness' as the ice below it; although, if packed ice is placed below soul sand, it amplifies the slowing effect of the soul sand rather than making it slippery.

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

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

Unlike normal ice, compressed ice will not melt if placed near light sources.
