Ice patches are blobs of packed ice that generate exclusively in the ice spikes biome.
Description
Ice patches are small disk like feature of packed ice that generate in the ground. The packed ice is in a 5 by 5 pattern, with a packed ice block three blocks from the center in each direction. The structure is only one block in height, though each block adapts to the height of the surface block it replaces.
Generation
Ice patches only generate in the ice spikes biome. However, if it merges with other biomes, it can create some interesting generation.
