Snow Golem is a buildable passive mob in Minecraft that throws snowballs at hostile mobs, provoking them into attacking it. While snowballs do not deal damage (except to Blazes), they can be used to distract enemies. Snow Golems are created by stacking two snow blocks vertically and placing a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on top. The pumpkin can be placed manually by the player or automatically by a dispenser or enderman.

Upon death, Snow Golems drop 0–15 snowballs. Snow Golems cannot be bred and do not produce any additional resources. However, they can be sheared to remove their carved pumpkin head, revealing a snowman-like face beneath it.

Snow Golems are passive mobs and do not attack players. They throw snowballs at nearby hostile mobs, such as zombies, skeletons, and creepers, but their attacks do not deal damage except to Blazes and Ender Dragons. In cold biomes, Snow Golems leave a trail of snow layers as they move. However, in warm biomes or the Nether, they take heat damage and eventually die due to the high temperature.
