Talk:Snow/Archive 1

I'm sorry, very new to wiki and such.

Snow seems to 'fall' through glass that is set out, any other blocks known?
 * Notch has fixed that in a recent update. --Vibhor

Snowing
So does it snows when the map is being generated or anytime after map is generated? --Vibhor
 * It's decided from the start whether it's a snowy map or not.

Base lighting
It seems glass with snow on it is the only way to get sunlight into an underground base while being invisible from the surface.

Sweet eh? ~Canebrake
 * Would Ice with snow on top also work? Can you have snow on top of ice? --BronzDragon
 * Unless you're talking about a snow block, then of course you can't. You've seen plenty of ice lakes and ice seas, you wouldn't be able to see them if snow was able to fall on them. Think! – ultradude25 ( T 22:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

After the Halloween update
Since there is snowy biomes but no snowfall, it looks like the snow doesn't "regrow" when harvested. Can anyone confirm this ?
 * I've also noticed this, confirmed! Eslachance 06:17, 31 October 2010 (CDT)
 * Notch forgot to implement it, apparently. --Scykei 13:26, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Floating snow
I have noticed that when "underground" lakes form on the surface of a snowy biome, snow is often found floating in midair above the lake. This snow can be passed through and seems to behave normally except that there is no supporting block. Will someone else please confirm this.Zephyriphoenix 16:39, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Snow can land on...
I've noticed that snow can land on any blocks with nothing above them, even coal! This is not mentioned in the article, can it be added somehow?

Snow is a block?
Obviously, it's listed as a block. What I mean is, does it take up a "use" of a tool when destroyed?Wandergirl108 03:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC) -Yes. Of course it does. Haven't you ever used shovels to collect snowballs? --ZEMEDELPHOS 00:53, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
