Overview
A snow golem throws snowballs that deal no damage to anything except blazes, but they knock mobs back and mark targets for iron golems and wolves, which makes them useful as base perimeter guards. It leaves a trail of snow layers in cold biomes, giving an infinite snowball farm. It melts in warm biomes and in rain, takes damage in water, and dies to a single hit from almost anything.
Snow Golem is a utility mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 4 damage — 2 hearts — to kill one. Its attacks do 0 damage on Normal.
