Overview
Minecraft classifies Powder Snow as a naturally generated block. It is available only in Creative mode or through commands. With a hardness of 0.25 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Because it is transparent it does not block light. A blast resistance of 0.25 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
