Where to use powdered snow in Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update? - Sportskeeda

Minecraft 1.17 is the first part of the much-awaited Caves and Cliffs update. The update was initially planned to be a much-bigger update featuring many new biomes, mobs, blocks, items, and more.

Sadly, the update was split, and the first part was released only with new blocks, items, and mobs. While new biomes have not yet been added to Minecraft, Mojang has added other sources to find new blocks that will generate in upcoming biomes, like moss, dripstones, powdered snow, etc.

Obtaining powdered snow can be pretty tricky because it doesn’t generate as blocks in Minecraft 1.17. Players have to use cauldrons to collect powdered snow. During snowfall, cauldrons can collect powdered snow.

Powdered snow can be used in many ways. It is similar to real-life snow. Powdered snow can inflict frost on any mob or player inside it. When inside powdered snow, hearts will turn from red to blue and take 0.5 damage every two seconds. Players can also use it to kill mobs automatically.

Players require leather boots to walk on powdered snow. Without leather boots, players will sink through the powdered snow. This way, powdered snow can be used to make traps in Minecraft. As powdered snow has a similar color and texture to regular, players can easily trick others into their trap.

Using powdered snow, players can turn skeletons into strays. Skeletons inside powdered snow turn stray after seven seconds. With a skeleton spawner, players can create a stray farm in Minecraft 1.17. Like skeletons, they have the same drop loot, but they also drop arrows of slowness.

Advancement hunters have an easy score with powdered snow. Walking on powdered snow with leather boots will reward the player with “Light as a Rabbit” advancement.
