How to find Snow Golem
Does not spawn naturally - build one: stack 2 snow blocks and place a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on top (pumpkin last). The pattern works sideways and upside-down too.
Spawn conditions: Built by the player (or a dispenser, enderman or command placing the pumpkin). Never spawns on its own.

How to kill Snow Golem
It is friendly. If needed: two hits of anything - it has only 4 health. Rain, water and hot biomes (temperature above 1.0: deserts, badlands, savannas in Java, the Nether) kill it slowly.
Behavior
Wanders and throws snowballs at monsters up to 10 blocks away (16 when cornered), one per second. Snowballs only damage blazes (3 damage) but knock back and provoke everything else. Leaves a snow trail in cold biomes. Immune to fall damage and powder snow.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be bred. Build as many as you like - a snow golem over a trapped mob is the heart of every snow farm.
