Snow Golem

Snow golem
Type:	Neutral Mob
Drops:	Snow ball

Snow golems (or snowmen) are a neutral mob in Mine Blocks. They will throw snowballs at hostile mobs, or monsters, keeping them back. If the player hits a snow golem, it briefly starts throwing snowballs at the player.

Creation

Snow golems are created by placing a pumpkin on top of two snow blocks.

Appearance

Snow golems are 2 blocks high with a snow body, coal buttons, stick arms and a pumpkin head.

Behaviour

When the snow golem has no active target, it will wander aimlessly. It will leave snow behind wherever it goes, which can be collected using shovels. The snowball can be crafted into a snow block, then ice and eventually ice cream. Therefore, it makes sense to farm snow golems for their snow.

When aggravated, snow golems will throw snowballs at their target, knocking them back and, in the case of a blaze, damaging them.

Trivia

• The snow golem and the ender dragon are the only mobs that never despawn, in any difficulty, until killed.
• Since Update 1.28, snow golems will leave an snow trail in the blocks that they walk in.
• Although aggressive snow golems shoot snowballs at players, the player will not be hit by the snowballs thrown by them. This may change in 1.29, however.
• The player can heal snow golems by throwing snowballs at them.
• The creator of a snow golem doesn't have to be The player. A piston can be used to move the blocks into place and it is theoretically possible for an enderman to creat a snow golem.

Protecion

The snow golem protects the player because it Shoots hostile mobs.
