Ice Crystal farming (+additional Icicle farming)

Simple suggestion - if an Ice Crystal or Icicle is attached to Ice Block below Water, it will grow.

Allowed Ice blocks (can be controlled by tags):
- Frosted ✔️
- normal ✔️
- Packed ✔️
- Blue ❓ - it's too dense to let the water through for growth + it'd be nice to have one ice that does not get affected? But if ppl want it, then let them have it

Ice Crystals:

Small Ice Crystals or Ice Crystal Buds (whichever name you prefer) are added to Java, and the big ones are added to Bedrock.
Those buds will grow into the big (normal) Ice Crystals.
Breaking Ice Crystals without Silk Touch drops 1-2 Ice Crystal Buds (Fortune increases by 1 (or just 0.5?) per level)

Icicles:

While they already grow by default when below Packed Ice, this type of growing/farming would make sense to add too, especially since it lets Players grow them under other ice blocks.

___________ __ _ _ _
Perhaps the Ice Crystal Bud would only give light level 3 or 2. Potentially they could add one or 2 more stages.

  Forgot to mention - the water can be either a flowing/source Water block, or any waterlogged blocks
