Blue ice blobs (also called blue ice features) are a feature that places blue ice in frozen ocean biomes.

Generation

The blue ice blobs generate at the bottom of packed ice icebergs. They generate similarly to rock blobs of diorite, andesite, and granite. The blob can also be described as a pile of blue ice generating adjacent to a packed ice. The blue ice always generate at or below the surface of water (i.e. y<=64), and can replace some existing packed ice within the iceberg, just like how:

• rock blocks can replace stone,
• and ore blobs can replace both rock blobs.

Blue ice features are put near the bottoms of icebergs in order to make them more realistic, because real glaciers tend to have denser ice at the bottom of them, and blue ice represents a denser form of packed ice.
