How To Get Snow Slabs In Minecraft

Updated to 1.19

In Minecraft you can find thin Layers of Snow covering the top of the mountains or entire cold areas. Merely can we place Snow Layers under the sun in warm places? And exercise Snow Layers accept whatever apply? Let'due south respond those and more questions.

Where you can find snow

We'll se below how to craft or pick a Snow Layer, just first you have to find Snowfall. You can find Snowfall in Snowy Biomes or inCold Biomes at loftier altitudes, you lot will notice Spruce Copse in well-nigh of them. The Snowy biomes are:

Snowy Tundra
Ice Spikes
Snowy Taiga
Snowy Taiga Mountains
Frozen River
Snowy Embankment

And Cold biomes are :

Quondam Growth Pine Taiga
One-time Growth Spruce Taiga
Stony Shore
Taiga
Windswept Woods
Windswept Gravelly Hills
Windswepts Hills

If you can't find whatever of these biomes, you can try to apply the control /locate biome.

For example, if you want to find the closest Winsdwept Forest, you just need to open the commands and blazon:

/locate biome minecraft:windswept_forest

And you'll meet a bulletin actualization with the coordinates ot the closest Windswept Wood.

Now, if you press F3 you lot will run across your coordinates.

Now what y'all have to do to go there is just closing the gap between your coordinates and the coordinates of the biome you want to go to.

If you want to find other biomes, just modify windswept_forest with the name of the biome that y'all want to find.

How to become Snow Layer

Once you find Snow, there are two means to go a Snow Layer. The beginning is breaking a Snow Layer with a Silk Touch enchanted tool. This way you will directly get a Snow Layer.

If you don't have a Silk Touch on enchanted tool or if yous don't want to damage information technology (related topic: How to repair enchanted tools), you can arts and crafts a Snow Layer. To do so, you beginning have to gather Snowballs: if y'all break Snow Layers using a Shovel, they will drib one Snowball each. If you are using a Fortune enchanted Shovel they will drop more Snowballs.

You can throw Snowballs by right clicking while having them in your hand. And by combining four Snowballs, y'all tin craft a Snow block.

So you can use 3 Snow blocks to craft 6 Snow Layers.

How to get Snow Layer – commands

If you don't desire to go for a trip to notice snow, you tin also get Snow Layers by using commands. In fact, yous tin can type this in the commands:

/give @p snow_layer one 0

And ane (ane considering the command says "ane", but you tin can type another number) Snowfall Layer will exist added into your inventory.

Usage

Y'all can place Snow Layers on pinnacle of other solid blocks (non Ice blocks). If a block covered by a Snow Layer is removed, the Snow Layer volition suspension without dropping any Snowball.

Dirt blocks change texture when if there is a Snow Layer above them.

Yous can embrace a solid block with multiple Snow Layers. If yous place a Snowfall Layer on acme of another Snow Layer, they will fuse into a single thicker Snow Layer. You can go on on calculation new layers:

If you pile eight Snow Layers upwardly, they will fuse into one Snowfall cake.

PvP uses

Snow Layers can be useful confronting other players if used with Magma blocks.

Y'all tin can build a massive surface area of Magma blocks and cover it with Snow Layers. This way, Magma blocks volition nonetheless bargain impairment to players and mobs walking on pinnacle of the Snow layer.

On the other hand, you can walk on acme of them without getting any damage past usingFrostwalker enchanted Boots. This way you can put yourself ahead of your enemies.

Melting

As explained in How to preclude water from freezing, Snow and Ice melt when their light level is 12 or more than. Just the light level provided by low-cal emitting blocks is considered for the melting mechanic: this ways that the calorie-free provided past the sun (which is 15 during the solar day) doesn't count.
