Snow icon PNG
The Snow icon exactly as it appears in Minecraft 26.3, as a transparent PNG. The original texture is 16×16 pixels, and here you can scale it up without it going blurry.

Sizes and quality
The Snow texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

This page is just one of them. The full tool has over 2,000 icons (items, blocks, effects and paintings), search in English and Spanish, and a tiled background generator up to 8K.

A snow layer covers the ground in snowy biomes and builds up again when it snows. Up to eight layers stack in one block, and in Java falling snow forms a single layer unless you change the game rule that controls it. This page is its texture, which is the same as the snow block’s.
You need a shovel to get anything from it: in Java each layer gives one snowball, and Silk Touch collects the layer itself, or eight layers as a snow block. Any other tool gets nothing. A full snow block gives four snowballs, and three blocks in a row craft into layers.
It melts at light level 12 or higher, such as a nearby torch or lantern, and in Bedrock also in biomes where it does not snow. A snow block, on the other hand, does not melt from light.
Two snow blocks stacked with a carved pumpkin on top make a snow golem, which throws snowballs at monsters. The pumpkin has to go on last.
A snowy scene is a classic for Christmas or cold survival video thumbnails.
