Additions

Blocks

Minecraft:Snow

• Fully implemented multiple snow heights.
• Drops one Minecraft:snowball for every layer of snow.
• Each level of snow has its own height collision.
  • The topmost layer of snow does not have collision, so the player is always slightly sunken in the snow.
  • Visually, four layers of snow is the same height as a slab. However, five layers of snow have the same collision height as a slab.
• Crafting recipe is 3 snow blocks in a row to create 6 snow layers.
  • For each thin layer of snow crafted, the player loses exactly half the snowballs required to produce it.
