Does snow block melt in Minecraft?

Published in Minecraft Blocks 1 min read

No, snow blocks do not melt in Minecraft.

Unlike snow layers (the thin, accumulating snow), snow blocks are solid building materials and are not affected by light levels or proximity to heat sources. This makes them excellent for construction in areas where you want to maintain a snowy aesthetic.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Snow Layers: These will melt if placed near light sources like torches, lava, or sunlight.
  • Snow Blocks: These will not melt. They are a solid block with distinct properties. They can be placed near light sources without issue.
  • Water: Snow blocks are not destroyed by water, unlike snow layers.

Therefore, if you're building a snow-themed structure, you can confidently use snow blocks without worrying about them disappearing due to melting. You can even place light sources nearby to illuminate your build!
