For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]]. |
A snowball is an Minecraft:item obtained by breaking snow blocks or snow layers using a Minecraft:shovel. It can be crafted into snow blocks, thrown to knock Minecraft:mobs back, fed to ghastlings and used to attract happy ghasts.
Obtaining
{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote
Mining
A Minecraft:shovel without the Minecraft:Silk Touch enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a snow block, and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting snow layers – one per layer. The Fortune enchantment does not affect these amounts.
Explosions
Creeper and TNT explosions leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.
Ravagers
in Template:Editions, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.
Pistons
in Template:Editions, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs: 1–3 layers drop 1 snowball, 4–5 layers drop 2 snowballs, 6–7 layers drop 3 snowballs, and 8 layers drop 4 snowballs.
Mob loot
Snow golems drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by Looting. Template:Drop sources
Generated loot
Script error: No such module "lootChest".
Usage
Crafting ingredient
Combat
Snowballs can be thrown by {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,{{#vardefine: $version | java Combat Tests
}}{{#vardefine: $version2 |
}}<until: Template:Version link & Template:Version link></until: Template:Version link & Template:Version link> meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.
Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of Minecraft:eggs and ender pearls, less than that of Minecraft:arrows fired from Minecraft:bows, and more than that of splash potions.
Snowballs deal Template:Hp each to blazes, but they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being hit by any other projectile (for example, zombified piglins who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players in Template:Editions receive knockback, while players in Template:Editions are unaffected.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>{{#vardefine: $version | java Combat Tests
}}{{#vardefine: $version2 |
}}<until: Template:Version link & Template:Version link></until: Template:Version link & Template:Version link>
When fighting the ender dragon, end crystals can be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.
Snowballs, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the Minecraft:warden. A warden walks toward the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.
in Template:Editions, snowballs thrown through fire or lava catch fire, and set fire to entities they hit.
Mob interaction
Snowballs can be fed to ghastlings to speed up their growth, in which they become a happy ghast. Whilst holding a snowball, both ghastlings and happy ghasts will be attracted towards the player.
