A snow golem is a buildable passive mob that throws snowballs at monsters, which provokes them into attacking it. Depending on the biome temperature, it also either produces a trail of snow or takes heat damage and dies.
Snow golems are created by stacking two snow blocks vertically, and then placing a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on top of the stack. The pumpkin may be placed by the player, a dispenser, or an enderman.[1] Snow golems cannot be made by pistons. The building pattern also works when arranged sideways or upside-down, as long as the pumpkin is the last block placed.
The snow golem spawns at the location of the snow block as its feet when created horizontally.
A snow golem drops 1 carved pumpkin when sheared.

Snow golems wander aimlessly and try to avoid water, obstacles, and environmental hazards, but are immune to damage from powder snow. They are also immune to fall damage.
Snow golems take 1HP👁 💔
damage per tick when in contact with rain or water and in biomes with a temperature greater than 1.0. Examples include savannas,[Java Edition only] badlands, deserts, and biomes in the Nether. The Fire Resistance effect allows them to survive in these biomes.
As a snow golem moves, it leaves a trail of snow on the ground if the blocks can support it[2]. In Java Edition, this happens in any biome. In Bedrock Edition, however, the snow trail is not generated in biomes with a high temperature value; examples include jungles, mushroom fields, savannas, stony peaks, deserts, badlands, and biomes in the Nether. If the mobGriefing game rule is false, the snow trail does not appear.
Snow golems move toward all monsters (except ghasts and undead mounts) and throw snowballs at them up to 10 blocks away, provoking them, regardless of whether they attack the player.[3] When captured, they throw snowballs up to 16 blocks away (in Euclidian distance). They throw one snowball per second. Thrown snowballs do not deal damage except to blazes, but they still knock back any mobs that they hit.
Additionally, snow golems also attack creepers. They never intentionally attack the player. In Bedrock Edition, if a snowball hits the player, it deals knockback and makes tamed wolves and trusting foxes attack the snow golem.
In Bedrock Edition, a snow golem's snowballs can also set other mobs on fire if the shot flies through a lava block or a block that is on fire.
A snow golem is not provoked by another golem (snow or iron) attacking it, although an iron golem that is hit accidentally by a snow golem's snowball attacks the snow golem.
A snow golem wears its carved pumpkin like a helmet. Its actual head is hidden beneath the pumpkin. Shearing a snow golem removes the pumpkin, revealing its derpy face and making it drop the pumpkin. The pumpkin is stored using the Pumpkin tag instead of ArmorItems; a snow golem does not display its HandItems or its ArmorItems. In Java Edition, after shearing the pumpkin, the player can give a snow golem a new pumpkin only by using a command, such as /data.

| September 21, 2011 | Snow golems were first showcased by Notch on Twitter as a new mob[7] that is "craftable, is friendly, and throws snowballs at enemies. Also melts in hot biomes."[8] and that it would "spread snow by walking around."[2] | ||||||
