Talk:Snow Block

I think we should have a picture of a snow castle or igloo here. The page is too short. PurpleKiwi 22:51, 26 October 2010 (CDT)

Is it possible to put ladders onto snow? [ShadowScorn 18:47 October 1 2011]

Why don't snow blocks melt?
Regular snow melts when put next to torches, glowstone, etc., but snow blocks do not. The code for both blocks contains this method, exactly identical in each:

public void updateTick(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Random par5Random) {       if (par1World.getSavedLightValue(EnumSkyBlock.Block, par2, par3, par4) > 11) {           dropBlockAsItem(par1World, par2, par3, par4, par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4), 0); par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 0); }   } –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Sostratus (Talk&#124;Contribs) 23:02, 12 July 2012.

Snow blocks drop NOTHING when mined with hand, unlike other blocks that require a shovel to mine faster
So snow and snow blocks are the only blocks that drop nothing when mined with a first, and drop snowballs with a shovel? 99.225.26.102 12:21, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
