'''Snow'''{{fn|Known as '''Snow''' {{in|java}} and '''Top Snow''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a ground cover block that is commonly caused by snowfall.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Unlike any other block, the only way to mine snow is via a shovel enchanted with [[Silk Touch]]. Destroying snow with a non-silk-touch [[shovel]] yields one [[snowball]] per layer. Any other tool, even if enchanted by Silk Touch, destroys the snow and drops nothing. Explosions by [[TNT]] or [[creepers]] also cause snow to yield a [[snowball]]. Snow can also be obtained by causing it to drop into an invalid block space, in which case it drops itself.{{only|bedrock}} The dropped snow layer also corresponds with how many layers were in the broken snow pile.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Snow|Shovel|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
Snow naturally generates in snowy biomes – [[snowy tundra]], [[ice spikes]], [[frozen ocean]]s, [[snowy taiga]], [[frozen river]] and [[snowy beach]] – and in the [[mountains]] biome above y-level 90–95. Only blocks with direct access to the sky can generate snow layers naturally (with the exception of some snowy [[village]]s, which are intentionally made to generate extra snow in areas inaccessible to the sky).<ref>{{bug|MC-198006}}</ref>

Snow generates where there is sky access atop buildings in snowy taiga [[village]]s. {{only|bedrock}}

Snow generates in multiple layers as part of many snowy tundra village structures.

Snow generates exclusively in single layers {{in|java}}, but can generate in multiple layers {{in|bedrock}}.

==== Weather ====

In snowy biomes or in cold biomes at varying layers, the weather can snow instead of rain. In snowy weather, snow generates on random non-transparent blocks with a block [[light]] level of 10 or less, with the exception of [[ice]] and [[packed ice]].{{More info|Which layers? Not listed on any relevant page, also only cover cold biomes.}}
{{needs update|Some of the info in this table may be outdated, or possibly just outright incorrect.}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, multiple snow layers are built up naturally during snowfall; {{in|java}}, snowfall creates only one layer.

Snow layers do not generate if the gamerule ''doweathercycle'' has been set to ''false''.{{only|bedrock}}

==== Snow golems ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Snow farming}}

[[Snow golem]]s generate a trail of snow in snowy, cold, and some medium [[biome]]s, or any non-dry biome {{in|bedrock}}.

== Usage ==

Snow can be placed only on a solid block that is not [[ice]]. {{IN|java}}, snow breaks if its support block is removed. {{IN|bedrock}}, snow is affected by gravity and falls if it becomes unsupported, and breaks if it falls onto an unsuitable block. A player can jump up 1 block and 3 snow layers.

=== Cover ===
[[File:Snowy Grass Block.png|150px|thumb|right|Snow cover [[grass block]], [[mycelium]] or [[podzol]].]]
If the snow is on a [[grass block]] (or [[mycelium]] or [[podzol]] {{in|java}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-12277}}</ref>) the ground cover turns white on the top and around the sides. Snow does not damage tilled and hydrated field areas – it cannot be placed on farmland. A gravity-affected block like [[sand]] or [[gravel]] does not fall if snow covers the block below it, but the gravity-affected block does replace a snow layer when falling onto it. The texture of the grass block changes to snowy when a single layer of snow is placed on top.<ref>{{bug|MC-1483}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-32637}}</ref> Thicker layers of snow causes the grass block to revert to plain dirt when the block receives a random tick, similar to regular grass when covered by an opaque block. A plain dirt block with a single layer of snow on top gains a snowy texture if grass spreads to it.

{{IN|bedrock}}, if [[leaves]] are topped with a layer of snow, [[particle]]s of snow appear to fall through the leaves from the snow layer.

{{IN|bedrock}}, snow layers [[snowlogging|can occupy the same space]] as one-block [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, and one-block [[ferns]] and [[grass]], (however two-block tall plants do not work)<ref>{{bug|MCPE-21688}}</ref> and can be layered and mined normally. Placing snow on already-existing plant blocks causes snow to appear around them, but placing plants into an area where there is snow removes the snow.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-29695}}</ref>

Snow layers can be used to kill [[nylium]].<ref>{{bug|MC-174639}}</ref>

=== Melting ===
[[File:Redstone Lamp melt pattern.png|300px|thumb|right|Powered [[redstone lamp]]s melting nearby snow.]]
Snow melts if there is a [[heat block]]{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}, or block light level of 12 or more. {{IN|bedrock}}, it also melts in dry biomes, regardless of block light or daylight level. If there are multiple layers, all layers melt at once; the snow levels do not gradually reduce in height.

Most light sources can melt snow but some cannot.

When a [[fox]] gets stuck in the snow after missing an attack on prey, it emits particles as it emerges from the snow.

== Trivia ==

* Snow can be stacked to a full block beside a [[cactus]] without destroying the cactus.
* Snow layers of 2 to 7 thickness prevent hostile mobs from spawning.
* In [[Spectator mode]], a player positioned at the correct height can see the snowy texture of the top of the grass blocks.
