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, can't melt, allow mob spawning, and are darker in the center of the block than the sides. 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, Packed Ice cannot be melted by light sources and will allow the player to place items like torches, doors, etc. Packed Ice retains 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.
