Snowballs are throwable Items which were added in Update 0.3.0.
Obtaining
Snowballs are Items obtained when Top Snow or Snow Blocks are broken using a Shovel. Top Snow drops 1-4 Snowballs, whilst a Snow Block can drop up to 8 Snowballs when broken.
Snowballs are thrown by Snow Golems, but these Snowballs can't be caught. Snowballs can't be crafted, but when the Snow Golem is killed it drops 1-15 Snowballs.
Crafting
- 4 Snowballs => 1 Snow Block
Usage
Snowballs can be thrown to knock back Players and Mobs, but do not deal any damage. Snowballs can be useful in moving mobs without damaging or killing them.
Snowballs can harm Blazes with 3 Health Points (). They can also be used to destroy End Crystals, as an alternative to Arrows.
Trivia

- Since Update 0.11.0, Snowballs are present in the Creative Mode inventory.
- Since Update 0.12.1, the Player is able to throw Snowballs faster.

- Bug: In Update 0.16.0 and in Update 0.16.1, Snowballs dealt (Half a heart) damage.
