About
Snowballs are stackable projectiles obtained by destroying snow blocks or killing snow golems. They stack to 16 per slot and deal no damage on impact, but apply knockback to mobs and players, making them useful for combat utility or light PvP play.
Admins typically spawn them with the /give command to test mechanics, fill player inventories for minigames, or stock creative-mode builds. Snowballs are vanilla items with no special crafting requirements or conditional behavior, they work consistently across all game versions that support them.
