Build and technical notes

• Snow is a natural & decorative blocks block identified as minecraft:snow_layer. Its material, collision, light and recipe relationships below are the useful details for building, survival collection and commands.
• The recorded collision shape is “empty”. Collision is a gameplay property, so do not infer it only from the block's visible model.
• Snow is recorded as opaque. Its emitted light is 0 and its light-filter value is 0.
• Snow has 1 recorded Java block-state combination, so its base state is comparatively simple.
• Its recorded blast resistance is 0.1; this is separate from hardness and should be used for explosion-risk comparisons.

Java and Bedrock differences

• Snow is present in the tracked Bedrock registry only. Do not reuse its identifier in the other edition without checking that edition's current release.
