Packed Ice

1Block states
YesItem form

Packed Ice is a solid block in Minecraft that is crafted from Ice. It is mined with a pickaxe, and when broken it drops itself, so it can be collected and moved elsewhere.

Players use Packed Ice as an ingredient in several crafting recipes, seven in all, which makes it a useful material to keep on hand.
