Packed Snow
Packed Snow is a new block set that is a harder, rockier version of snow that can be formed into Bricks.
The Packed Snow block set
Packed Snow can be found in the Frostologer's Castle.
Packed Snow can be crafted from crafting with Snow Blocks.
Regular snow layers are 'packed' when a heavy entity - such as the Iron Golem, Warden, or Ravager - steps on it. Every 2 layers of packed snow will drop 1 packed snowball, which can then in turn be used to craft a packed snow block.
Packed Snow blocks can be crafted in a 2x2 pattern to produce 4 Packed Snow Bricks, which can then be crafted into stairs, slabs, and walls as usual.
Packed snow is mainly used for building and decoration.
Packed snow layers can have up to 16 levels, rather than the 8 of regular snow.
The Packed Snowball can be thrown at entities to damage and freeze them.
