About
Snow is a lightweight block that appears as a thin layer on terrain in cold biomes. It has minimal hardness and breaks instantly with any tool or by hand, making it trivial to harvest.
On a server, you can spawn snow directly into a player's inventory using the /give command. With a max stack of 64, it's useful for building winter landscapes, testing snow mechanics, or filling player requests without lag concerns. Snow layers stack naturally in the world, allowing you to create variable-height snow coverage by layering multiple blocks.
