Trivia

  • Prior to the Halloween Update (2010), snow could only be found on maps that were in Winter Mode. When creating a new save, a map had a 1/5 chance of having worldwide snowfall. Since Alpha 1.2.0 however, Snow can occur in arctic Biomes.
  • Sometimes snow can spawn on air blocks, usually over cave entrances or water pools. Walking on these blocks will make you fall through the snow.
    • If you place a block near the floating snow, it will update itself, and disappear.
  • Snow is a common block to be used as the flooring in a game of Spleef as it breaks almost instantly with a diamond shovel.
  • Snow layers do not accumulate naturally during Snowfall.

Info

Minecraft.net Generic Enderman Avatar.png No feeling in the world beats waking up on a winter morning and opening the curtains to find out that it snowed overnight. The joy of seeing the world transformed, its colours hidden below a deep, fluffy layer of white, is incomparable to any other experience.

Trivia

  • Snow may still fall on top of snow blocks, making them look taller than they actually are.
  • When a snow block is on grass, the grass block changes to a different "snowy" texture as if a snow layer is on it.
    • Be that as it may, since snow is not transparent to light, the grass will change to dirt shortly after.
  • There is code to make snow blocks melt, but since they are solid blocks they cannot be lit enough for this to occur (barring certain lighting glitches) (see MC-88097 for more information)
  • A texture known as "fluff.png" exists in files from the survival tests onward, that resembles snow. Be that as it may, this was before snow was added, so this texture went unused.

Usage

On multiplayer servers, many snowball fights are held in forts containing mazes of snow banks that slow players down. Usually, the objective is to keep the players from breaking a block in their fort they build, which is done by hitting them with snowballs to keep them out. The first team to break the block (usually dirt or for more difficulty wood) win.
