- For the snow layer block found in Minecraft, see Snow.
Snow Blocks are blocks made from snow. They are crafted with four snowballs, allowing the user to create them through their inventory crafting window. One cannot reverse the crafting process on a crafting grid, but the block may be placed and destroyed with a shovel, yielding the four snowballs it took to create them. If broken without a shovel or a Silk Touch tool, one will not get the four snowballs back. In the second alternative, one will have a snow block.
Behavior
Snow blocks are not destroyed by forces that would realistically melt snow, such as lava, fire, and torches, and are unaffected by water. Snow blocks are an essential key component in creating the Snow Golem, where two are needed to be stacked on top of each other, with a Pumpkin being on top of them. Snow melts when there is a light source near them. For say, a torch or glowstone, snow will melt around the light source.
