Minecraft:Snowlogging

Ferns, Minecraft:short grass, a Minecraft:poppy, a Minecraft:dandelion, and an Minecraft:allium snowlogged under various layering.

Snowlogging is a mechanic Template:In that allows (small) vegetation to be filled with layers of Minecraft:snow.

Properties

Vegetation can become snowlogged through most means of placing snow. This includes placement during terrain generation or by the player, aggregation during Minecraft:snowfall, or falling snow landing atop it. However, blocks cannot be snowlogged by Minecraft:snow golems.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Placing vegetation in existing snow layers replaces them,<ref>Template:Bug</ref> including the Minecraft:Wither creating Minecraft:Wither Roses, and neither snow layers nor vegetation can be placed in the same location as the other via commands.

Snow can be piled anywhere from a single layer to a full block's height or more, potentially burying the vegetation within entirely. A snowlogged block cannot be selected or destroyed without first destroying the encompassing snow layers, even if the majority of its model is above the snow's surface. This prevents interactions with vegetation such as those involving Minecraft:bone meal or Minecraft:shears, even with the use of Minecraft:dispensers. Minecraft:Bees also ignore snowlogged flowers.

Removing snowlogging from vegetation if the snow is piled higher than a single block leaves excess snow in place, fully supported by the vegetation. Snowlogged Minecraft:firefly bushes do not emit Minecraft:light, unlike regular firefly bushes.
