Snowball

Snowballs are throwable items. Similar to arrows, they are affected by gravity.

Obtaining
Snowballs can be obtained by breaking snow blocks (4 snowballs) when using a shovel without silk touch and by breaking snow layers using a shovel (1-8 snowballs, one per layer).

Snow Golems
Snow Golems drop 0-15 snowballs upon death.

Farming
Snow Golems are an infinite source of snow, and hence snowballs. Provided they are in a cold biome, Snow Golems leave a trail of snow behind them. By trapping a Snow Golem in a confined space (often done by building a wall around it or by pushing the golem into a 1&times;1&times;2 hole) and breaking the snow trail, the snow will immediately refresh, giving a quick way to obtain an unlimited number of snowballs.

Combat
Snowballs are able to knockback mobs and gives the same effect as if the mob were being damaged. They deal to blazes and  to Ender Dragons. They deal no damage to other mobs. Snowballs can also be fired from dispensers.
