Snowballs are throwable combat items that can hit and do knockback to mobs on impact. However, they cannot damage most of them.

Obtaining

Mining

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.

Explosions

Creeper and TNT explosions leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.

Ravagers

In Bedrock Edition, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.

Pistons

In Bedrock Edition, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs: 1–3 layers drop 1 snowball, 4–5 layers drop 2 snowballs, 6–7 layers drop 3 snowballs, and 8 layers drop 4 snowballs.

Mob loot

Snow golems drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by Looting.

Snow Block

Combat

Snowballs can be thrown by using them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,‌ meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.

Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of eggs and ender pearls, less than that of arrows fired from bows, and more than that of splash potions.

Snowballs deal 3HP each to blazes but, they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being damaged (for example, zombified piglins who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players in Bedrock Edition receive knockback, while players in Java Edition are unaffected.^[1]‌

When fighting the ender dragon, end crystals are able to be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.

Snowballs, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the warden. A warden walks toward the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.

in Bedrock Edition, snowballs thrown through fire or lava catch fire, and set fire to entities they hit.

Dispenser

Snowballs can be fired from dispensers.

Ghastling & Happy Ghast

Snowballs can be fed to ghastlings to speed up their growth, in which they become a happy ghast. Whilst holding a snowball, both ghastlings and happy ghasts will be attracted towards the player.

Sounds

Java Edition:
Thrown snowballs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
