2. Add Items to make a Snow Block

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a block of snow, place 4 snowballs in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a block of snow, it is important that the snowballs are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 snowball in the first box and 1 snowball in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 snowball in the first box and 1 snowball in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a block of snow.
