Snowball


Trivia

  • Like arrows, chicken eggs, fire charges and spawn eggs, snowballs can be fired from Dispensers.
  • Snowballs are the projectile of a snow golem, offering no effect except for knockback. Again, Blazes are the exception.
  • Snowballs burn when thrown through lava, but are not destroyed.
  • There is a glitch where, sometimes, Snowballs can pass through solid blocks.

    Usage

    The snowball is especially useful against Blazes, as the snowball can knock a blaze out with seven hits. They are also useful to knock any mob off cliffs or into a trap, as well as players, as snowballs have a knockback equivalent to Knockback I on a sword.

    Use in PvP

    Snowballs have a dual use in PvP combat situations: They can be used to keep enemies at many meters length, and can quickly break or wear down armor, unless it is enchanted with Unbreaking.
