# Unpackable Ice 🧊

#### 🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

* You can craft **Packed Ice** by combining **9 Ice blocks**
* You can craft **Blue Ice** by combining **9 Packed Ice**

But once crafted, there’s **no way to unpack them** back into their base forms — even though the crafting process is reversible in logic.

With this datapack:

* You can **shapelessly uncraft**:
  * **1 Packed Ice → 9 Ice**
  * **1 Blue Ice → 9 Packed Ice**

**🔁 Shapeless Recipes:**

* `1 Blue Ice → 9 Packed Ice`
* `1 Packed Ice → 9 Ice`

This tweak simply reverses the compression chain.
