Talk:Powder Snow

Striders die by sinking in snow powder?
Striders die sinking in powder snow? It would make sense, but I have not been able to experience this, please someone verify to be able to put it in Trivia :) Ronyhd (talk) 23:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No, they currently don't do any damage or suffocation, though that might change – Unavailablehoax (talk) 23:49, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Obtaining
Can they be obtained using a shovel in survival? Tools don't normally give objects in Creative, so I thought I'd check. PegasusDust (talk) 00:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They don't, and shovels also don't speed up mining speed, which is reported in, which I think is intended, but we'll wait and see when that gets resolved. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 00:35, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Snowier Snow
Can we confirm that powder snow is separate from snowier snow? I don't think the source cited is enough. Vu Bui's "also" could imply that powder snow would be the "snowier snow" released in addition to the goats mentioned earlier. It also doesn't seem likely that this wouldn't be the snowier snow, though I could see it as being one in a set. PegasusDust (talk) 02:25, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Until we get more information (that is, more betas or even snapshots adding these features) which confirm whether it is actually separate or not, I think for now it is best to keep what is there on the trivia, and keep the redirect Snowier Snow not deleted until further notice.

 * Actually, I just found a [ Minecraft.net article] which says "Powder snow – our snowiest snow since sliced snow – is also making an anticipated appearance." "Snowiest snow" links to the Mountains Biome Vote video on the article. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 03:11, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Middle-Click
Can the powder snow block be obtained by middle-clicking? Like other survival-unobtainable blocks like budding amythist and the spawner. I know that it's not in the creative menu though. Humiebee (talk) 20:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, you cannot. If you try to do so, you obtain a powder snow bucket. – Preceding unsigned comment was added by ChainOfNothing (talk • contribs) at 13:02, November 11, 2020‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Sounds
Are we certain that the sounds are labeled correctly? If I had to guess, the placing sound plays when the block is placed from the item in the bedrock creative inventory, while the bucket emptying sound plays when the player uses a filled bucket. I would also guess that the breaking sound plays only when the player attempts to break powder snow, not when it is collected with a bucket. I don't have access to the betas or snapshots, though, so I may be wrong.PegasusDust (talk) 23:03, 11 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Bedrock currently doesn't use the new sounds, it just inherits the regular snow sounds. The powder snow block itself isn't obtainable in Java Edition, so it can't be tested. Both the and  sounds are played when using a bucket. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 23:11, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
