FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Snow?
A wooden shovel or better. Mining without a shovel yields no drop.
What does Snow drop when mined?
One snowball per layer without Silk Touch, or the snow layer item itself with a Silk Touch shovel.
Can Snow stack into a full block?
Yes. Snow layers stack up to eight high on the same space, and mining all eight with Silk Touch produces a snow block.
Does Snow block movement or light?
It slows entities slightly and is transparent, letting light pass through and mobs like snow foxes remain hidden on it.
