Category?

Why did you put it in Category:Sprite? Wouldn't it be better in Category:Item(Which could include flint.)? --Demki 16:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Weapon?

Anyone find it weird that it's classified as a weapon? I mean, it can kill slimes, but other than that, it's just to annoy people. --Master7342 You can use it to shear sheep, or knock nasty mobs away, or into a trap. I'd say its a weapon.Woodcock 12:39, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

It does damage, or you can at least damage yourself with it. Good thing I didn't have wolves when I tested that. Biofan30 15:14, 1 May 2011 (UTC)-- In vanilla Minecraft it doesn't hurt you. Timberdoodle 13:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

They do damage?

Lately, my friends and I used a vanilla server on creative to provide infinite snowballs. We all harassed a single zombie and caused it to die - 75.137.68.131 20:53, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

They do damage to Blaze's and Enderdragons, 16/7=2.5 hearts of damage to Blazes. Not sure how much they do to Enderdragons though. Edited the page.Jippiedoe 16:07, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Then how do you know if they do damage if you don't know how much it is? --HexZyle 04:59, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
They do 1/2 a heart of damage. --Draco rex 13:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Trivia

The trivia says it's the only thing in the game that requires a shovel to collect. This is not true - silk touching things such as snow blocks or snow layers needs a silk touch shovel ever since mojang made it so you need the appropriate tool to collect it.

-I've also seen them lying around naturally in new chunks (because water spilled over the snow cover). I think that using buckets of water to clear the snow cover probably saves resources given that buckets can be infinitely used. 22:53, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
