Packed Mud
Packed Mud is the dry, compressed form of mud — crafted with wheat as binder, no longer slows the player.

Description
Packed Mud is the dry intermediate form of mud, made by combining one mud and one wheat in any crafting slot — the wheat behaves as a binder, similar to how real-world adobe uses straw to hold the clay matrix together. Place this block, and unlike its raw counterpart it offers a normal solid surface: no slowing, no sinking, no gentle squelch beneath the player's feet. The colour is a warm dry brown, more saturated than dirt and slightly redder than gravel.
The primary purpose of this block is to feed the next crafting step: four packed mud arranged in a 2×2 grid produces four mud bricks, the polished and architectural form most builders actually use on visible walls. Some players also keep packed mud as its own decorative material — for paths, paving in mangrove villages, or anywhere that wants a dry adobe texture instead of finished masonry. Like mud, the block is unaffected by water on adjacent sides and does not soften back into raw mud once dried.
