What it does

Players can unpack packed ice and Blue Ice in the mod, which opens a route for mining and collecting ice that vanilla does not allow. The effect is meant for players who build or travel through ice-heavy areas such as the nether highway. Installation needs only the server to run the mod; players may join with or without it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 39 release versions, 1.13 – 1.21.4, and the code is not open source, released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Unpacking packed ice

    Packed ice can be broken down into ice, giving players a way to reverse a block they could not previously undo.

  2. Blue Ice unpacking

    Blue Ice can also be unpacked, so its material is recoverable rather than locked in place.

  3. Nether highway use

    The unpacking route suits long travel corridors where ice blocks need to be cleared and reused.

Questions

Does Sam's Unpacked Ice need to be on the client?

No. The server must run the mod, but players may leave it out and still join, so only the server needs it installed.
