Snow Golem

• Beta version of Java Edition: Notch announced the appearance of a snow golem in version 1.9. And initially it was called a snowman, but later the Reddit user Cuttleman said he would call them "snow golems", this name was approved by Notch and became official. But the entity ID changed from snowman to snow_golem only in version 1.13.
• Official Java Edition Release: Version 1.0.0 Beta 1.9 Prerelease – Snow golems added to the game. They were saved without the participation of the players and were hostile to them. In Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3, snow golems will no longer spawn on their own.
• In version 1.2.1, in snapshot 12w06a, snow golems have an AI, which allows them to line up in a wall for a coordinated attack. From snapshot 12w07a, snow golems die if they spawn in the jungle, desert, Nether World, during rain and in contact with water.
• In version 1.8, in snapshot 14w25a, a snow golem can be built by placing blocks horizontally and even upside down. From snapshot 14w33a, snow golems will attack creepers.
• In version 1.9, the pumpkin from the head of the snow golem can be removed with scissors, and the snow golems themselves will no longer cause damage to the Edge dragons.
• As of version 1.16 snapshot Pre-release 1 – Snow golems take damage from potions.

Snow golem or snowman is a friendly mob whose height is 1.9 blocks, width is 0.7 blocks. The snow golem's health reserve is 4 units (or 2 hearts on the health indicator).

The attack power is 0, his snowballs are only able to push mobs away without harming them, with the exception of an blaze, to whom a snowball will deal 3 units of damage (or 1.5 hearts on the health scale).

After death, the snow golem does not drop experience. The only thing that remains after it is a few snowballs.

The snow golem will attack:

• hostile mobs except the Edge dragon, Ghast, Hoglins and Zoglins, although Zoglins will attack snow golems.
• neutral mobs: spiders, cave spiders, endermans, piglins and zombie piglins.

The snow golem will not be attacked by:

• guardians, ancient guardians, endermans, endermites, magma cubes and phantoms.

The snow golem will always be attacked by:

• zombies, zombie villagers, husks, vindicator, zoglins, as well as slugs (which will not damage it in any way), spiders and cave spiders.

Those neutral and hostile mobs that will not be attacked by the snow golem will not attack him at first, but if he accidentally hit such a mob with a snowball, then he can be provoked to attack.

The snow golem cannot be tamed, it will not follow the player if you do not use a leash.

The snow golem will die if it gets caught in the rain, in the water, in the Lower World (although the snow path remains there after it), in the desert and in the savannah.

It is possible, but this method is ineffective.

If the snow golem is closed with a fence inside the walls or around the perimeter of the building, it will become something like an "automatic turret". Snow golems will start throwing snowballs at nearby mobs (zombies or spiders). But this will only work as a distraction, because snowballs do not cause damage. And snow golems are completely useless against skeletons or creepers: the first ones will kill them with arrows without getting close to them, and the second ones, approaching, will explode, thereby destroying nearby buildings.

You can supplement the protection based on snow golems with the help of iron golems, but snowballs will provoke them to aggression, and iron golems will destroy all snow golems.

If you protect the territory so that the snow golem occupies only one block, a layer of snow will form under it all the time, which will only remain to be collected by the player with any shovel.

* Note: In version 1.13, snow golems can generate snow only when they are in cold biomes or at a sufficiently high altitude. Therefore, to build such a farm on the plains, you will have to lift a snow golem onto a platform with a height of at least 66 blocks.

The snow golem will die in the desert biome and in the Lower World.

Yes, with the help of enchantment "Looting", but there is no point in this, since snowballs are not a valuable or rare resource in Minecraft.

• Snow golems are the only friendly mobs in the game that can still harm the player: if a snow golem hits a player with a snowball, the latter will be thrown back, but without taking damage.
• If the snow golem passes over the mushroom, it will be destroyed and will fall out as an object.
• If you create 4 snow golems at once, they will be able to throw snowballs so fast that they will push the zombies back without interruption.
• The pumpkin is the snow golem's helmet, not its head. Their real head is under the helmet. And if you use scissors (using the PCM key), then as a result, the pumpkin will simply drop out as a drop.
• The snow golem leaves streaks of snow on the territory of the "Lower World".
• A snow golem cannot create ice and move on water.
• Despite the fact that the snow golem will die from suffocation in the water, the water itself will kill them faster than the oxygen supply runs out.
• Snowballs of snow golems will not provoke other representatives of snow golems to show aggression.
• If desired, you can create a "mobile turret", since snow golems can sit and shoot while inside the trolley.
• The sound that is played in the case of throwing a snowball is the sound of the distributor when the projectile is fired.
• In the End you can use snowballs to destroy the crystals standing there. To do this, you need to put a snow golem in the fence on the territory of the fortress in order to get an endless source of snow and use it on the territory of the Region.
• Snow golems will not take damage if it snows, although they will take it if it rains.

No, you can't.

No, it can't, just snow.
