Snowball
A snowball is an item obtained by breaking snow blocks or snow layers using a shovel. It can be crafted into snow blocks, thrown to knock mobs back, fed to ghastlings and used to attract happy ghasts.
A shovel without the Silk Touch enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a snow block, and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting snow layers – one per layer. The Fortune enchantment does not affect these amounts.
Creeper and TNT explosions leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.
