Not all seeds have Ice Spike Biomes and people shouldn't have to restart a whole new world just to have access to one type of block.
Well, chances are if you upgrade/create a world to/in 1.7.2 or higher, chances are in a 6,000,000 by 6,000,000 world there will be at least one ice spike biome.
Makes sense. It is packed ice after all. And to all you saying that this is overpowered, let's remember that packed ice has no use other than decor.

Then again, packed ice lets you slide on it and never melts.
But as for me, I like it. Ice is hard enough to get (and will be even harder in 1.9 due to the silk touch shears bug) so we should be able to get packed ice easier.Support!

Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

Do you mean the intended removal of Silk Touch from shears (see here)? Then no, because shears never could be enchanted directly and Silk Touch is MUCH harder to get on a book than on another tool, plus a diamond tool can mine 1500-6000+ blocks (depending on Unbreaking), which is quite a lot.
Personally, this annoys me a lot more in that you now get cobwebs without Silk Touch; I mine the cobwebs around cave spider spawners and craft the string into wool to save space, though with Mending it doesn't really matter if you waste double durability by mining them with your sword.
That said, I even made packed ice craftable in one of my mods (4 regular ice = 1 packed ice) along with blocks like podzol (dirt + spruce leaves, like crafting granite, etc) because I don't really see why they have to be rare or require destroying biomes to get, and either way you need Silk Touch to obtain ice, so you can't make packed ice without it.
Well, chances are if you upgrade/create a world to/in 1.7.2 or higher, chances are in a 6,000,000 by 6,000,000 world there will be at least one ice spike biome.
I'm indifferent really. I would'nt mind and I don't think it would affect me much. I do think Mojang won't add this since they've been trying to add a motive to adventure for along time by adding new dungeons and planning on adding unique weapons. Then again they did make mossy cobblestone, bricks and cracked bricks all craftable so maybe they will.
It's probably more tedious than if you had the proper tools but for early game I guess it'd be nice for those who hate exploring(like me) or have bad CPUs.
The important thing is not how long you live... It's what you accomplish with your life. While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important... That would definitely carry on into the future. My spirit will always live on. And so if I were to disappear... I think that all I have accomplished will go on. That would mean that it's living. Right?- Grovyle

I was thinking it would be cool (no pun intended) to have craftable packed ice. It could be similar to sand into sandstone, where 4 ice blocks make 1 packed ice. More flexibility for people who want to build things out of ice without finding Ice Plains Spikes biomes.
I feel like packed ice would be crafted with 9 ice blocks, instead of 4. Packed ice is pretty rare itself. Half support.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
Unfortunately, the Xbox world isn't that big...
