Snow accumulation
While it snows, Snow builds up on open ground in cold places, by default 1 layer high.
| Weather | It must be raining in the world, and the spot must be cold enough for the rain to fall as snow. |
| Temperature | The temperature at the spot must be below 0.15, in a biome that has precipitation. |
| Light | Block light at the spot must be below 10. Sky light does not count. |
| Where it lands | Snow lands on top of the highest block of a column. The space there must be Air or Snow, on a block that Snow can rest on. |
| Layer limit | The Snow accumulation height game rule sets the limit: 1 layer by default, 8 at most, and 0 for no accumulation. |
| Growth | Each time snow lands on a spot, it places Snow there or adds 1 layer to Snow already there, up to the limit. |
