A snowball is a throwable item broken out of snow.

Obtaining

Breaking snow

Snow broken with a shovel drops snowballs: one from a layer, four from a block.

Usage

Throwing

Using a snowball throws it. It breaks on the first block or entity it hits, and flies through water and lava.

A hit deals no damage, but counts as an attack by the thrower. It knocks a mob back, and angers a pig zombie or wild wolf as any attack would. It does nothing to a player.

A dispenser fires snowballs. A dispensed snowball has no thrower, and knocks nothing back.
