Snow Block

Snow blocks are blocks made from snow. They are crafted from 4 snowballs, which allows you to create them in your inventory. You cannot reverse the crafting process, but the block may be placed and destroyed with a shovel, yielding 4 snowballs.

Snow blocks are much harder to be destroyed by forces that would destroy snow, such as lava, and fire, and are impervious to torches and water.

Snow blocks have many uses, such as building, decoration, and storing snowballs. They blend in well with the taiga and the tundra biomes, and can be used to build snow-themed buildings, such as igloos or snow castles. Snow may still fall on them, making them look bigger than they really are.

Snow Blocks are sometimes used for playing Spleef in Beta. Players use shovels to destroy blocks from underneath their opponents.

Trivia

 * Snow used to yield 4-6 snowballs when broken, allowing an infinite number of snowballs to be made.
