Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

To obtain a snow block or snowballs, the block must be broken with a shovel; otherwise, the breaking time is greater, and the block drops nothing.

A snow block drops four snowballs when broken by a tool without Silk Touch.
A snow block drops itself when broken by a tool with Silk Touch.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Snow blocks generate on the ground in the ice spikes, grove, snowy slopes, frozen peaks and jagged peaks biomes, they form the walls of igloos and some snowy plains village houses and can also generate on top of some icebergs.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Melting

[edit | edit source]

Unlike snow, snow blocks do not melt when a heat block‌^{[BE & edu only]} or a light-emitting block is nearby, nor will they melt in dry biomes.

Snow golems

[edit | edit source]

👁 Image

Snow Golem build configuration

Snow blocks can be used to make snow golems by putting 2 snow blocks on top of another and a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on the top as the head. Note that the carved pumpkin has to be placed last for this to work. This can be done sideways and upside-down, as well.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Snow Block" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]

Snow may still fall on top of snow blocks, making them look taller than they actually are.
When a snow block is on grass, the grass block changes to a different "snowy" texture as if a snow layer is on it. However, because snow blocks are not transparent to light, the grass changes to dirt shortly after.
