Backports the snow golem from more modern versions of Minecraft to the Better Than Adventure mod.
What's the same?
- Snow golems are created by stacking two snow blocks vertically with a pumpkin on top.
- Snow golems throw snowballs at most monsters.
- Snow golems take damage in water blocks.
What's different?
- Snow golems no longer create snow trails to keep obtaining renewable snow more interesting.
- Snow golems no longer die in warm biomes.
- Snow golems now deal one damage when standing on gravel instead of the usual zero similarly to vanilla BTA's snowmen.
- Snow golems now require swords to have their pumpkins taken off instead of shears to be consistent with BTA's pumpkin carving.
- Pumpkinless snow golems can now have carved pumpkins be put on their heads.
- Snow golems now have double their original health. (Two hearts to four hearts)
- Snow golems now drop 1-8 snowballs upon death and if they have a pumpkin on their head they'll drop it as well.
