'''Packed ice''' is an [[opaque]] [[solid block]] variant of [[ice]]. Unlike regular [[ice]], it does not melt near bright [[light source]]s.

== Obtaining ==

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.

=== Natural generation ===

Packed ice is found in the rare [[ice spikes]] biome. It also forms [[iceberg]]s found in [[frozen ocean]]s. Packed ice also generates in [[frozen peaks]] biome and in [[ice patch]].

Packed ice generates as windows in [[igloo]]s.{{only|bedrock}}

Packed ice generates as [[pile]]s (and in some houses or meeting points) in [[snowy plains]] [[village]]s.

Packed ice also generates in [[ancient cities]].

=== Trading ===

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

Packed 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.

{{IN|Java}}, 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 [[boat]]s due to a bug.<ref>{{bug|MC-203989}}</ref> Additionally, any non-full block inherits the 'slipperiness' for [[items]].

[[Boat]]s can travel on packed ice with a top speed of 40 m/s.<!-- Tested on superflat, full ice cover, Java 1.15.2 --> 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 [[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 ice.

=== Note block ===
Packed ice can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce chime sounds.
