About

Snow Block is a solid white block composed of compressed snow. It breaks quickly (hardness 0.2) with any tool and drops itself when mined, making it easy to harvest and reuse. Admins commonly use it for winter-themed builds, creating snowy landscapes, or filling areas with a natural frozen appearance.

It stacks to 64 and can be spawned with /give @p minecraft:snow_block 1. Unlike snow layers (which are non-solid and thinner), Snow Block occupies a full block space and can support mobs and players standing on top of it.
