Description:
A snowball is the item obtained when a snow block or snow cover is destroyed with a shovel, giving 4 or 1 snowballs respectively. They can also be obtained when a snow block is destroyed by a creeper explosion or TNT. Lastly, they can be obtained by killing a Snow Golem. They are throwable items that do not do any damage to mobs except the Blaze (which they deal 3 () to) and Ender dragons (which they deal 1 () to). Snowballs are able to knock back mobs and gives the same effect as if the mob were being damaged (they still appear to damage wolves; they briefly flash red; however, this is a bug). This makes snowballs useful for herding and for knocking monsters off high areas. Snowballs cannot be placed and can only be thrown by right clicking. Similar to arrows, they are affected by gravity.
They will also catch on fire when they pass through lava. Snowballs have a much more limited range than arrows. Like arrows, Eggs, spawn eggs, fire charges, and splash potions, snowballs can be fired from dispensers.
Four snowballs can be crafted to create a snow block. Correctly placing two snow blocks and a pumpkin or Jack o'Lantern produces a Snow Golem. This is a utility mob which has the ability to attack hostile mobs with snowballs.
